"In summer, the song sings itself." - William Carlos Williams

This Saturday B and I enjoyed a great summer night.  After an afternoon iced coffee/tea at the Race Street Pier, we took our bikes and headed to Cantina Los Caballitos in South Philly for an early dinner.  The sister restaurant to Cantina Dos Segundos, Los Caballitos shares a similar menu but with a great outdoor area.

While planning our meal we ordered some drinks: a blood orange margarita on the rocks for me and a "La Perla" (Specialty Cocktail) for B.  Both were delicious.

We finally decided on small order of nachos followed by the pork carnitas tacos and the beef and cheese flautas.

The nachos - topped with black beans and queso fresco and layered underneath with mozzarella, corn, tomato, union, and pickled jalapeno - were fantastic, but gigantic.  Although we probably didn't need to follow the nachos with two additional dishes, I'm not sure which I would have bagged as both were great.  The pork in the tacos was perfectly cooked and worked perfectly with the homemade corn shells and simple onion, cilantro, and cheese toppings.  The flautas were just as good - the flour shells were perfectly crispy and filled with a deliciously creamy beefy/cheesy mixture.  Yum.

Despite having to leave a flauta and half a taco behind we really enjoyed our meal, and the trip down to South Philly.
