Carolyn's

A culinary pop up where creativity meets the plate – launching March 2025!

Carolyn’s is where creativity knows no limits. Nestled within the walls of Revolution Taco, this intimate pop-up dining experience is Chef Carolyn Nguyen’s playground for innovation. Inspired by her roots, her time in full-service restaurants, and a drive to explore global ingredients, Carolyn’s brings together seasonal freshness and culinary storytelling.


The menu? There is no menu—at least not one that stays the same. From duck-fat fried tacos to smoked tamales, fresh tostadas, or inventive desserts, each dish reflects Carolyn’s bold spirit of experimentation and her love for food as art. No two visits are alike, and that’s what makes Carolyn’s an experience worth savoring.

This early experience shaped her passion for food and set the stage for her unique culinary perspective: food that celebrates creativity, culture, and the joy of sharing something extraordinary.


Gaining experience in several fine dining establishments in and around Philadelphia, Carolyn refined her skills in diverse culinary settings. After honing her craft in restaurants, she transitioned into catering before venturing into the world of food trucks. She helped launch and expand multiple food truck concepts and a catering division, which eventually led to the creation of Revolution Taco in 2015. It was here that her love for tacos as a “blank canvas for global flavors” was born.


In 2015, Revolution Taco opened its doors as a brick-and-mortar restaurant, marking a new chapter for Carolyn. Guided by her values of resilience, creativity, and care, she’s reimagined the taco as a celebration of flavors from around the world—bringing the same energy, craft, and attention to detail to every dish.

From Carolyn

“I believe food is more than just a meal—it’s a connection. Every flavor tells a story, and I want our guests to leave with a sense of joy and adventure from what they’ve tasted.”
