My fiancé and I went out for our anniversary dinner last night. The service was great—very friendly and attentive. The appetizers were a strong start: the guacamole and ceviche were both delicious and well prepared.

Unfortunately, the experience fell short when it came to the entrées. I paid $44 for a plate of small, barely any meat, langostines that were extremely overcooked and completely lacking in flavor. I was hoping the sauces would help, but they tasted more like cocktail sauces and didn’t elevate the dish at all. The rice served alongside was lukewarm, as were the langostines themselves, which was disappointing.

Thankfully, my fiancé had a more pleasant experience with the molcajete, which he enjoyed.

After the entrée experience, dessert felt like a safer choice. I ordered the tres leches, but it was very basic to my taste—honestly less flavorful than versions I’ve had from a local Latin supermarket.

Visited for the first time in August 2025, after having heard great things for years. We had a decent experience — great food but small portion size. Friendly servers but more focused on putting on a show than being attentive to what we needed. Took nearly 20 minutes to order our food but not because anyone was busy — they were just not paying attention to us. I prefer La Jefa and El Milpa on the other side.

Tequilas has always been one of Center City’s gems and one of my my favorite Mexican restaurants in the city. After being closed for a while due to the fire, it’s safe to say they’ve come back better than ever. The food is outstanding; each dish beautifully presented and layered with authentic flavors that feel both refined and comforting… From the tender barbacoa bathed in rich consommé to the fresh guacamole con atún and the indulgent queso fundido, every bite feels like a celebration of Mexican tradition elevated to fine dining.

The service deserves its own praise. You can tell the entire staff, like the servers, busboys, food runners, they all work seamlessly together as a true team. Everyone is attentive, warm, and genuinely passionate about creating a great experience.

Tequilas is not just a meal, it’s an experience- one that reminds you why this restaurant has such a loyal following in Philadelphia. I’m so glad they’re back, and even more impressed by how they’ve elevated every detail. Highly, highly recommend!

An incredible gem in the heart of Philly. The best authentic Mexican food I have had outside of Mexico, all served up by the remarkable staff. The owner’s son came to greet us and told us about the history of the place, and took very good care of us. Would definitely come back!

Incredible dining experience with seasoned servers and the best Mexican food I’ve ever tasted. Went here for my brother’s 21st and the entire staff made sure we felt welcomed and celebrated. Fantastic experience, loved the molcajete and the ceviche

It’s been years since I ate here, and before the fire and subsequent renovations. The place is beautiful. Service was great. Attentive and friendly. We had margaritas and a light meal. All great. Loved the tamales and the molecajete. Will definitely go again. You should try

Tequilas reopening seemed like an awakening in Philly, I was so excited to try it! It was unfortunately a little disappointing. I want to say that the service was top notch and so friendly, you feel like a family member.

Off the bat, I was sad to see there was no happy hour menu. My friend and I came at 5pm on a weekday, and I feel that being in the heart of center city there should definitely be happy hour options. Especially because the regular prices are expensive!

We ended up just getting drinks and guac. The margaritas were good, nothing special. I got the regular and my friend got spicy. She wanted a little more kick to hers. The guac and chips were not great. It looked incredible and fresh, but there was zero salt and a lack of flavor overall. The chips were also bland.

Our total for drinks and guac + tip came out to over $100. I unfortunately wouldn’t come back because I can’t justify spending that much for what we got, especially when so many other restaurants nearby have happy hour for 1/2 this price.

It was a very pleasant experience. Very friendly staff (he was serving cocktails on his head lol great balance!), Great cocktail, nice atmosphere and tasty food!

For the drink, I got rose petal margarita, which was very nice, then short rib cocktail which was tasty and spicy! My bf got michelada and de michoacan and both were nice smoky drinks.

We got the day’s special appetiser, oysters and shrimps. Oysters were really good- very milky and has no fishy smell! Ceviche Tequilas were super nice and tasty, nicely presented. Both appetisers are highly recommended!

For main, I got Molcajete in lava rock bowl. It was so good and warm until I finish the dish. My partner got pork belly, mole dulce. It was nice but I prefer molcajete quite a lot more!

Overall, very nice experience and great food. I also requested quieter area when I was making a reservation, and the room we were in was calm and nice.

Good for any occasions: friendly casual gathering /lovely date night with fancy dresses
