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.
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.
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.
Great blood orange marg. Not on the menu but ask for the guac trio: 3 guacs for $33.
Eric AndersenAugust 23, 2011Wow! The fish (sea bass) tacos here are a must-have…best I've ever eaten!
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.
Arpit MathurMay 2, 2013Try the Bazooka Limon Guacamole - Who knew cream cheese in guacamole was such a good idea
Visit PhillySeptember 14, 2010A great place to stop for drinks, forget about the featured cocktail list — everybody drinks margaritas.
estelle carraz-bernabeiSeptember 28, 2013This has to be my favorite place to bring guest in town.....
NK PatelMay 16, 2015Hostess told me an hour wait then proceeded to seat two different parties before me telling them there is no wait. Terrible I had to play games to get seated before them.- The blood orange margerita rocks! Prepare for a brain freeze and high octane effects
Giant bowls of guacamole and pitchers of margaritas
- Eric AndersenAugust 23, 2011Looking for a kids option? Hostess says they can make a cheese or chicken and cheese quesadilla
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.
Aaron PriceJune 19, 2011Have to to every time I'm in Philly. Cool place with great food and cocktails!
