Taqueria Feliz comes from the same restaurant team as Cantina Feliz and La Calaca Feliz. The Manayunk spot serves casual Mexican favorites like tacos, enchiladas and tortas, and the cheerful atmosphere makes it a fun spot for summer nights. The tempura tilapia tacos are served "Ensenada style" (named after a region in Baja California), which means they're battered, instead of breaded, and fried.
