Raj SarmaAugust 19, 2014Tacos and burritos seem to be the highlight but get the ahi tuna ceviche, it's a great appetiser for sharing. Service can be a little slow. Selection of tequila and mezcal is pretty good as well.
One restaurant where you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Consistently fantastic food, drinks and desserts -- good fusion of contemporary and authentic Mexican/Tex-Mex. Friendly staff a plus- Emily FarrickerApril 28, 2017Great atmosphere for dinner with friends or family. They have the best authentic Mexican food that you cannot go without once you try it! Play a Spanish song on the jukebox as well to bust out a move.
Philly.comAugust 3, 2014The hipsters come for killer margaritas in the moody orange room, tequila-ficionados find a stellar list of primo shots at the bar, and a talented new chef has upped the kitchen's burrito ambitions. Read more
vegansaurusJanuary 2, 2014Really awesome restaurant with a mexican wrestler theme and an extensive Spanish-language garage rock selection on the jukebox. Serves meat and whatnot but has solid, really tasty vegan options.
Shan CarusoJune 8, 2013Great atmosphere for dinner with friends. Shrimp ceviche was a perfectly sized appetizer. Tried one of the blackboard specials, Rucola, Serrano & Grilled Fig tacos...so good (and light).
C EdwardsAugust 3, 2013GREAT bloody mary's and the food is delicious. FYI: It tends to get extremely busy, especially on the weekends!
Brady DaleOctober 6, 2013Probably my favorite nachos. Get the vegan beef. Even if you are not a veg. I think they put brown sugar in it or something, but it is extra good. The "small" is huge.
Philadelphia MagazineAugust 14, 2012Cantina Los Caballitos serves up mahi-mahi tacos topped with cilantro and onions (with guac and sour cream for a little extra). Cantina Dos Segundos brings you the same dish up in Northern Liberties. Read more
Adrian MercadoFebruary 18, 2012JESS FOX! You want the smoked seitan and tofu fajitas. Its got rice, guac mushrooms, in west Philadelphia born and raised On the playground was where I spent most of my days Chillin' out maxin' relax
Lisa RJuly 16, 2011The tacos are delicious and are large portions. Try to hold off on the chips if you can to save room for the food!! Check out www.phillyposts.com for more tips! @phillyposts
John GaviolaMay 24, 2014The pork belly burrito is amazing. Each crispy bite is like I've had a heart attack and resuscitated at the same time.
mary bunceOctober 12, 2019Blood orange margarita is good and the tequila menu is good. Hostess was an ass hole. Sit at the bar. Bartenders are good.
Daniel WolfAugust 7, 2014Great vibe. It's so relaxing to sit outside. Many of the menu items are an interesting twist on classic Mexican fare.
Enchiladas, BANGIN. Burritos, BANGIN! Get either one. You won't be disappointed.
Brendan RastetterAugust 15, 2014The goat tacos are fantastic! Also, don't forget to order a pitcher of margaritas. They're deadly in the best way.
Alex MasAugust 2, 2015Good food. The huevos rancheros were amazing! And the watermelon margarita a must.- Jackson IsaacsonMay 24, 2016Surprisingly strong margaritas that are very cheap, and an excellent chicken quesadilla.
Laurie SatranOctober 23, 2011The Caesar salad here is so good. Spicy, not over dressed, with cotija cheese crumbles and plantain chips. Try it and you'll fall in love.
Kathleen PoolakeJanuary 26, 2014If it's cold out, request to sit away from the windows and entrance. We were seated by the windows and I had to wear my cost during my entire meal because I was so cold.
Food is delicious, especially the enchiladas and quesadillas. Stay away from the guava margaritas though wayyy too sweet
Good margaritas. Go with the classic, the flavors can be a bit sweet.
Campbell BirdAugust 9, 2016Strong margaritas and staff that are willing to shoot the shit with you. My kinda place.
To all the jersey haters, there are no guidos here. It's nice here. Great atmosphere. Pleasant staff and you won't find a better margarita. #kony2012
fajitas are the best. great vegetarian/vegan, and mararitas. Read more
Try the Tangerine Margarita - On the rocks. No rim. Refreshing and strong.
Get the frozen mango margarita pitcher or the frozen guava pitcher, both are delicious- Philadelphia MagazineJanuary 14, 2013Order the Mexican take on the special, Tecate and a shot of tequila for just $4.
Sonalee RashatwarAugust 12, 2011STRONG ass margarita pitchers. get it on the rocks in blood orange. plantains are excellent.
It's usually pretty loud inside, sit outside if you can. They also won't seat you unless your entire party is present!
Brunch here is always good, especially if you're hungover... a bloody mary or two will fix you right up.- khary sharpeOctober 1, 2011cool bartenders and friendly locals...one of the few places i always feel welcome.
Ask for the off menu item: "The Frozequi" (Dos Segundos + frozen margarita). Deeelish & will get you cray.- Philadelphia MagazineNovember 18, 2013Al fresco drinking doesn’t get better in South Philly. Read more
Cucumber margaritas- try them. They aren't on the menu, you've got to ask :)
Alyssa Al-DookhiAugust 31, 2011Forget about brunch. Not worth it. Don't expect superior service or food, but it's just right when you have good company and want a pitcher. Also great for vegetarians!
Gloria AngelMay 9, 2010their nightly specials definitely offer something differnt. I had the mako shark and it was delicious!!
Amanda Lynn McCartySeptember 22, 2012Service usually blows unless you sit at the bar but the food blows ... Your .... Mind!
Rachel ShifmanApril 1, 2017Avoid the brunch. My huevos rancheros were lukewarm and soggy while my potatoes were underdone
