Coup de Taco, a new taco truck, is now operating in University City, offering an non-traditional tacos, with fillings like tikka masala and sweet Thai coconut. View the menu here and find them parked at 40th and Locust. A tipster tells us a Wharton MBA was working the line during a recent visit. If Wharton grads are working in taco and coffee trucks, does that mean the folks who have always been running the trucks at Penn should be running Wall Street? Think about it!

• Floret is coming to the former Pond in Radnor. Dan Kremin, formerly of Barclay Prime, will be in the kitchen cooking “regional European cuisine prepared with locally sourced American ingredients.” Expect to see “steak frites, cassoulet, Amish raised chicken coq au vin, braised lamb shanks, chicken liver crostini, lasagna al forno and vegetarian shepherd’s pie” when the restaurant opens sometime in December. If you’re hanging on to a Pond gift certificate, Floret will honor it.

Con Murphy’s, an upscale Irish pub, is now open at 17th and the Parkway. View the menu here. [Thrillist]
