Fishtown, on the whole, is an edgy, craft-beer kind of place. And Loco Pez has its share of brews to hit the required local (PBC Shackamaximum imperial stout), Mexican (Dos Equis amber on draft), and American craft (Dale's Pale Ale) touchstones.
But the quality tequilas and margaritas here are clearly this bar's strongest suit. An already fine shot of Casa Noble, Herradura, or Milagro is even finer accompanied by a complimentary side of manager Sergio Ruiz's sangrita, a juicy tomato shot sparked with a distinctive fruity note of pineapple, a sweet dark tint of pomegranate molasses, and a pointedly hot finish of chile piquin.
