He offers tacos a la carte, so you can mix and match to make your own meal.
There's a vegetarian cauliflower taco, a mahi mahi fish taco, pineapple pork and the Smashburger taco, which is like a Big Mac.
All are wrapped in handmade tortillas.
The wings are smoked and then fried.
The chips are fried in-house and there's a trio of dips-house-made salsa ranchera made with Jersey tomatoes, hand-smashed guacamole and Good Queso, made with Philabundance Abundantly Good Cheese.
Newman says for every 30 quesos they sell, they donate a pound of cheese to Philabundance.
There's a full bar with cocktails like the house margarita, dubbed the Hi-Lo Silver.
The dirty Martina is like a martini but made with tequila instead of gin.
And there's a Texas favorite called Ranch Water.
It's a tap with a line of tequila and a line of soda water.
Mix the two and it creates a sparkly Margarita-type drink that you can flavor up with syrups like the prickly pear.
Hi-Lo Taco Co. participates in Center City District SIPS every Wednesday in summer; and hosts Happy Hour every day from 4-6 p.m.
