    This place is exceptional for many reasons, but my favorite being their care and consideration toward allergies, food sensitivities, and dietary restrictions. Simply amazing food and service!

    Simply amazing. You have to get the Zarape, it was delicious! Very filling. Great ambiance. Friendly staff. One of the best places in Rittenhouse.

    Happy with my happy hour decision (as it should be). Thick cut chips, guacamole sampler, and a bunch of $1 tacos really hit the spot. The blood orange margarita was on point. Rich decor, low light.

    One of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the philly/Jersey area. Great happy hour deals on food & drinks. Tacos are amazing. Don't skip those. Guacamole here is simple & amazing.

    Happy hour is a great deal! Had 2 fish tacos and 2 steak. Both were amazing! If you like spicy, make sure you ask for their habenero hot sauce. It's homemade, delicious and packs a kick.

    If you’re up for a challenge, get the grande quesadilla. It’s approximately two feet long and is packed with all sorts of delicious meats and veggies. The classic margarita is solid.

    Nachos come served on a tray the size of a medium pizza and are AMAZING. Margaritas are good, and so are the moles. Go crazy. Get one of everything. You won't be disappointed.

    The happy hour here is almost too good to be true. Also, try the enchiladas. Tacos are on point but the enchiladas are a gem

    Camerones are delicious and buttery. Happy hour tacos are tiny but tasty-- beware they're topped with cilantro and raw onion if that's not your thing. Steak is shredded. Churro a and guava marg rock.

    Salsa and chips are made on premises and are the the best I have had in Philly so far. Service is also tops at brunch/lunch. Food is a close second behind Jose Pistoles on 15th.

    A classical Mexican cantina, yummy food. Can get crowded and really loud during rush hours, but you come there for eating, not talking! Nom nom!

    Enchiladas come three to and order, and are more than filling enough so no need to pony up the extra $$$ for the rice and beans sides.

    the alambre de pollo has great flavor. you can't go wrong with perfectly-cooked chicken, onions, bacon, hot peppers, cheese, mushrooms, and onions.

    Tortilla soup (sopa de tortilla) id served in a way i have never seen, so distinctive, you gotta try it. And of course it's good :)

    Nacho average Mexican diner with specialties like wild mushroom soup and short rib enchiladas. A "secret" passageway leads to its sexy sister bar, the Ranstead Room.

    The Fast Lunch menu is a great price and just the right size portion. Try the cactus salad and chicken enchiladas. The Apple soda is pricey but very good.

    ASK THEM FOR THEIR HOTSAUCE... they make it in-house, it differs daily and can be really spicy depending on peppers used. i would buy this if i could (i can't, i asked)

    The chicken tacos are delicious. They are small so you might want two orders.

    New steven Starr restaurant in the old midtown diner. Completely new menu but the decor has small upgrades and much is original to the diner. Definitely get the churros for dessert!

    Ok, start with happy hour. I was so sold on the cheap eats that I had to try the eggplant enchilada-let me just say wow!

    The corn on the cob is slathered in three different gross sauces. Just be warned. The tacos are very tiny. But the guacamole is delicious! Better than that of El Vez.

    Grab a seat at the counter and try a Tamarind Margarita or a draft craft beer in a boot.

    if you like spicy drinks, ask for sliced jalapenos or their house-made habanero sauce for your drink.

    This is an awesome kitchsy Mexican Joint in Philly! Chef Dionico Jimenez makes the best short ribs in a sandwich-like torta.

    Portions are large, but not disproportional to the price you pay for it. The food was plain and I hardly ate it. I got the fajitas, guacamole and street corn. Nothing authentic.

    Good tuna ceviche. Good chips. Absolutely terrible service. It seems each waiter does their own bartending & bussing.
