PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — Grab your hats and boots and spurs, because we’re going country!

A slice of Nashville life has set up shop in Fishtown, transforming city kids into cowboys and cowgirls.

It’s called Secondhand Ranch, and we’re making their walking taco.

Secondhand Ranch is a honkytonk dive bar and thrift shop that just opened its saloon doors on Frankford Avenue.

You walk straight into a massive bar, and there’s a stage for live music, a DJ booth, and yes, a secondhand store where you can shop and drink.

In the store, you’ll find clothing, jewelry, records, magazines, and even cowboy hats and boots.

Founder Josh Sampson says Philly was missing what he calls “western outlaw,” so he brought it here.

He added a gaming area with pool tables, a photo booth, and a claw machine to the space.

The former national bank was built in 1878 by legendary architect Frank Furness.

“We use the vault as our keg room and a walk-in cooler,” Sampson says. “It’s pretty awesome.”

The Lone Star Beer and cocktails are flowing at the bar, and line dancing is coming soon.

Grab a partner and grab some of their upscale honkytonk eats, from dressed-up wagyu hot dogs, to nachos, to a Cooper sharp grilled cheesesteak that you dip in chili.

Secondhand Ranch’s walking taco recipe

Ingredients:

– Small bag of Fritos
– Chili of your choice
– Corn salsa
– Pickled red onion
– Shredded Cooper sharp cheese
– Sliced jalapeno
– Chipotle crema

Directions:

Open the bag of Fritos and start layering the ingredients on top of the chips.

The cheese goes in first, followed by pickled red onion, corn salsa, sliced jalapenos and then the warm chili, so it heats what’s below it in the bag.

Drizzle chipotle crema on top and enjoy!
