Well priced, delicious food. The drinks are all a little sweet for my liking but the food is outstanding and not overpriced. I really enjoy sitting out on the patio when it's nice. The tacos are a good size, the nachos are really good, and their seasonal soups have impressed me so far. My favorite things to order are the shrimp or Mahi tacos. Service is usually pretty fast even when they're busy. Good for large groups.

It's very good and customizable. Wait wasn't too long, and the service was prompt. I got the chicken enchiladas, and they were fire. So was the pomegranate margarita. Do reccomend, do attend. Really hit the spot.

I have been coming here over 15 years. The first establishment that I was aware of with "Delicious" vegan options (Daughter with food allergies). I placed my order with Catlyn who informed me that the Vegan Taquitos I ordered are on the "Happy Hour" menu. Yes, "Happy Hour" 10PM ~ 12AM Sun & Mon. Coming here is like "Cheers". Awesome neighborhood establishment but very welcoming to new patrons. It's my Happy Place.

If you want delicious and friendly wait staff this is the place to go. Went here for a quick bite before hitting the Road and we were not disappointed. Cute restaurant with outdoor seating and we opted for the outdoor patio to enjoy the last of the unseasonably warm weather. They do have Patio heaters. Food was wonderful and fresh with huge portion sizes and to say we went home with leftovers was an understatement. Wait staff are attentive and friendly and anything we needed was brought out quickly. Parking in Philly can be challenging so would recommend a Rideshare.

Service top notch! Food amazing! Ambiance is chill and the music curated by Shawn is definitely worth a seat at the bar. Shawn was an added bonus to an already great night -- Super attentive, best service ever! For sure visiting any night Shawn is bartending Monday through Wednesday. I've been here plenty of times and can't say that I've ever had a bad experience or terrible food. Today, I got the mushroom fajitas, and me and my friends shared some chips and guacamole and queso. Guacamole was yummy, the queso not so much to my liking but not too bad, just not for me (something was missing). Anyway, I'll never stop coming here unless they start messing up on their service and food quality. But make sure you come visit Shawn as Shawn was the highlight!! Monday through Thursday evening people! Be there and leave a great tip!

Had five stars but my last visit something kinda gross happened. I love this place, don't get me wrong. The food is some of the best mexican in the city. They have a beautiful outside section and the indoors is cozy and well decorated. However, last time I went my water was served to me in a dirty cup. There was a lip stick stain on the lip of my cup and I took a sip before I noticed!!! The server seemed unapologetic but replaced the cup (which i obviously still didn't drink from). For the rest of my meal he would come up to us and just stand silently look at us for a bit too long before speaking. Every time he came over it just felt so awkward. Other than that I used to ADORE this place. I'm upset that my last experience wasn't too good.

I love love love the location, not too far from home. Located right in the heart of south Phila. They have the best chips and dip! I went for happy hour and enjoyed their $5 margarita special! Our server was very nice and made great recommendations. I love that we were able to sit outside and enjoy the nice weather!
