In Short
A giant wedding mural featuring skeletons, ornate carved wooden archways, wall-sized paintings of Mexican peasants and a sparkling, crystal chandelier comprise the eclectic decor. The affable servers know the cuisine intimately as most can tell personal tales about Mexico's food culture. Signature dishes include tortilla soup, chicken mole, filet mignon with tamarind-chipotle-ancho sauce and whole red snapper stuffed with salsa, capers and green olives.

Tequila's is a beautiful restaurant. The service is excellent. They make a mean margarita. The food is high end and delicious. It's worth it to go just for drinks or for the full meal deal - it's a bit pricey.

...and I eat out a lot. Tequila's has THE BEST Mexican food around. The atmosphere is sexy - great for a date. The bar is beautiful, the drinks are impeccably made, and the food is out of this world. I have never been disappointed with any dish at Tequila's. I took my boyfriend for his birthday, and the staff sang him a song and gave him a free dessert and tequila shot, even though I said we couldn't possibly eat any more! The staff is so friendly and accommodating. Be sure to get there on the early side on a weekend unless you want a loooong wait (they don't take weekend reservations). On week nights, you don't need a reservation. The bar opens at 3 pm for happy hour - enjoy half price appetizers!

Overall, my husband and I haven't had great luck with Mexican in Philly, but Tequila's has been well worth repeated visits. The margaritas are fantastic, every appetizer we've tried has been tasty, and the entrees have always been interesting and delicious. In addition, we've never found the service to be anything less than pleasant and informative. A rare treat!
