Daily News | Taco Heart brings Austin-style breakfast tacos to South Philly
Mount Airy native Nano Wheedan’s long road to opening a restaurant in Philadelphia this week began in 2005 when — as an aspiring pro musician and recent Harvard grad newly transplanted to Austin, Texas — he took a job at the opening of Home Slice Pizza to pay the bills.
Intrigued with how flour tortillas puff up when they hit the griddle , he began learning to make his own as he backed off his dream of musical stardom. After the couple married and moved to South Philadelphia, Wheedan set up a taco stand in front of their house, on 13th Street near Morris. Many locals didn’t get it at first. “I gave them away,” he said. “I’m yelling at people walking across the street, ‘Hey, would you like to try a taco?’”
Nano’s Tortillas, the name at the time, began to hit the food radar, and Wheedan set up an order form on Instagram, and began a pandemic gig making tacos at a Bok Building kitchen and arranging for customer pickup.
