{The Delivery Dish} Tres Jalapeños

After a long week and no time to grocery shop, I decided my Friday night dinner would be a dose of my favorite cuisine. But after ordering takeout in Philadelphia (regularly) for over 3 years, I have yet to find my go-to Mexican spot. I did a quick search on GrubHub and found Tres Jalapeños (901 South 8th St.). They had decent reviews, so I decided to give them a try.

I ordered the Green Beef Enchiladas ($9.25), Side of Chips ($2.50) and Side of Guacamole ($2.50). Everything arrived in less than the time GrubHub had estimated, but was a little cool. Nothing a quick pop in the microwave can’t solve!

They ended up being delicious with just the right amount of spice. Sometimes corn tortillas throw me off, but these were great. The guacamole was creamy & yummy too! My only complaint was that the chips were a little bland, (I feel like a bad Mexican food fan to say I would have preferred Chipotle’s lime & salt chips but hey . . . they’re good.)

The portions were pretty big, so I saved half of my meal for “brunch” the next day (still avoiding that grocery shopping thing . . . ). And to my surprise, my meal tasted just as good reheated in the morning!

So maybe I’ve found my new Mexican go-to. Next time, I’ve love to try their Shrimp Jumbo Quesadillas or Mole Chicken Burrito. Do you like Mexican food? What are some of your favorite Mexican spots in Philadelphia?

HP on the Gram

Our little babe @putterthepuppy is a puppy school Our little babe @putterthepuppy is a puppy school graduate! 🎓 @jimmypennz & I learned so much from Barbara (@romeothewhitepug) at the Somers Point @petsmart for weekly puppy classes at the shore. Putter enjoyed the socializing & the treats!
The last thing I needed to recap from the time I t The last thing I needed to recap from the time I took off the gram…my sister’s wedding!!! 👰🏻‍♀️🤵🏼‍♂️🖤

@linnytharp married her hubby MB at @sunsetflowerfarm this past May. It was the hottest day we could ever imagine, and it was perfect. The peonies were bloomin, the band was jammin, and so, so many of our favorite people were there. I felt so special to be my sister’s maid of honor and share this day with so many people we loved. It was just so much fun. 

Shoutout to @herestoforeverco for amazing day of help & @nita_gladovic_photography for keeping us sane in the heat & capturing these gorgeous moments. 🌅

Lindsay let us pick our own floral dresses, and I had a tough time looking for months. This @macduggal gown finally felt like the one & made me feel so special the day of. 🌸 Linking it on my stories!
I may regret this post because it is already so ha I may regret this post because it is already so hard to get a pizza from this pop up… but if you’re headed to the shore next month - you must try to get a reservation with @squaresandfare! 🍕

@squaresandfare makes pies & cookies at a secret pop up in Egg Harbor Township, NJ. I saw the pizzas shared by some friends from home (thanks @ambaajayy & @tyler_bryce1227!) & didn’t even come close the first reservation I attempted to make. I finally scored a reservation for a Large Super Sampler in early June & was in love! 

Chef Dom and his family make a great pie & I can’t wait to see what’s next for them. If you’re interested in snagging a pizza for next month, head to @squaresandfare & make sure to get on to reserve at exactly 8pm tomorrow! Good luck! 🫡
