Reviews
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.
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!
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.
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
