The full menu for Taco Tuesday Bottomless brunch includes at least eight offerings each week. Executive Chef and Partner Ricardo Camacho said, “Añejo Philly is proud to offer this exciting new program to bring back the energy and fun to Taco Tuesday but in a whole new way. We wanted to create something exciting where you could mix and match our offerings and try new flavors and varieties you might not otherwise experience. We also wanted to go big or go home with a big selection, with at least eight tacos per week. For our first preview event, we had over 250 people and served up over 1,100 tacos – or at least that is the number we stopped counting at. We are thrilled to get such a warm reception as we gear up for our official launch. Stay tuned as well, as we have many exciting programs and special menus coming this spring, including being part of Northern Liberties Restaurant Week.”
