Greg DronenOctober 4, 2015Big disappointment. I ordered huevos rancheros. The salsa and the tostadas were store bought! Totally ruined it the dish. The only good thing was the Piña tequila drink I got.
Meg BiallasFebruary 23, 2013Pork tacos delicious, but not enough stand alone - you'll need the ala carte sides to feel full.
Julia SSeptember 12, 2010Guava mojitos are otherworldly. You MUST get the poblano corn rice as a side - words cannot describe the majesty that is this side dish.
Ben K.December 9, 2010You can order three different guacamoles as a sampler, but be aware they don't come in the awesome giant mortar bowl.
G Philly From Philadelphia MagazineMarch 30, 2011The colorful vibe here is ideal for boozing and noshing. Try the blood orange margarita with a side of fresh guacamole and chips.
Visit PhillySeptember 14, 2010A great place to stop for drinks, forget about the featured cocktail list — everybody drinks margaritas.
Melanie BattistaApril 14, 2012really small entrées are perfect for after you've loaded up on their delicious chips!
Aaron PriceJune 19, 2011Have to to every time I'm in Philly. Cool place with great food and cocktails!
Shrikant JoshiJuly 20, 2021Tacos were ok, Guacamole was terrible - it was NOT fresh, bland and seemed like someone just poured it from the bottle. Crab guacamole was the worst was straight from can - got upset stomach after.
Eric AndersenAugust 23, 2011Wow! The fish (sea bass) tacos here are a must-have…best I've ever eaten!
estelle carraz-bernabeiSeptember 28, 2013This has to be my favorite place to bring guest in town.....
Great blood orange marg. Not on the menu but ask for the guac trio: 3 guacs for $33.
- Ariane McMillanMarch 16, 2011The Sea Bass Tacos.."amazing!" They will make you want to slap to mama!
Kate JesseJune 16, 2011Not for kids! Order to go and spare your kid and the other patrons the pleasure of dining/drinking with the nuggets-and-fries crowd.
