Tequilas Restaurant & Bar Reviews

I was happy to get back to one of my favorite spots in the city this past weekend. We were going to see a show at the Academy and this was a perfect location to grab a bite to eat, a few cocktails, and then head to the show.
My wife had never been and it had been a few years since I was there so I was hoping it was as good or not better than I remembered. And it was just as it has been. Service is always top-notch there and there are so many wonderful dining areas inside the restaurant. As it was early in the evening they sat us in the bar area which is nicely decorated.
They go all out on the decor, and there is a lot to see and take in. You always get some chips and salsa to start things off, and they are very tasty. Some pico de gallo and some salsa to mix things up.
We started with the Queso fundido with chorizo and man that cheese is tasty. And ooey and gooey. The flour tortillas were soft and warmed up nicely. This was a great way to start things off.
I tried a couple (4) of their cocktails and loved each one. Two I can name, are the Colina and the margarita diablo. I like a spicy drink and told our waiter this, and he said "Hold on, I have something for you". I wish I knew the name of them but always ask the staff and they can make what you are looking for.
My wife went with the chicken enchiladas, and I chose the enchiladas de playa with shrimp, lobster, and crab. They were so good. The sides were great too, including their refereed beans and rice.
We needed to try the churros for research purposes to see how they compared to the best in the world (in the One and only resort, CSL), and they were great a close second. All in all a pleasurable meal and a great start to a Friday date night.

Went for happy hour. This place did not disappoint!! Service was excellent. Great food and drinks. Spicy marg had deep jalapeño flavor which I feel like I don’t normally get from other spicy margs. Was pleasantly surprised. Forgot to take a pic of the guac before digging in. I will say this portion was definitely small. Beef in tacos were tender and flavorful. Nachos were on point. Loved the refried beans! FYI nachos are only on happy hour menu. Will be back!

Visiting from Texas, we were desperately looking for authentic Mexican Restaurants & came across this one on Google. We walked in during their Saturday night dinner rush & were told the restaurant was completely booked & could not be accommodated. We must have looked super sad because a gentleman came over and asked us to wait a few minutes to see if they could find us a table. We didn't wait more than about 10 before they were able to seat us. From beginning to end, the immaculate service was something We rarely experience & will never forget. Our server, Tony, was so incredibly attentive, polite, & great with recommendations. Being from Texas, You can find decent Mexican food on almost any street corner, but this restaurant was probably the best, TRULY authentic, fine Mexican dining We have ever come across. We look forward to another trip to Philly to be able to enjoy a dinner here again. Highly recommend.

Casual attire and the interior detail is great. Nice for a casual date night with the semi low lighting. I sat at the bar and ordered a refreshing Rose' margarita. The queso is very good. My steak and prawns was also good. Customer service was great. If you sit at the bar ask for Max, made very great recommendations.

Received great service and selection from this restaurant. I tried the Molcajete de Pollo lava bowl, Enchiladas Seafood Playa, and a drink. The flavors were great and the servings were super filling! Not too spicy either. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a nice Mexican spot in Philadelphia.

Should have taken the pictures before we ate. Amazing food! So delicious! I can’t believe the wait isn’t out the door. Same waiter as we had before, and he is super amazing. Date night with mg husband totally worth time with him.

Decent food, great atmosphere. Servers are great. Had the Enchiladas with mole sauce and carne asada. I was not a fan of the their mole sauce, too bitter with no sweet or spicy taste. Too expensive for what you get. Highly recommend their steaks! The margaritas were strong and tasty! Would go back for the margaritas only.

Honestly this is one of the best restaurants in the area… from the reservation stage, you feel welcome. When you walk in they make you feel like home. Alex is the best server there, with an excellent human touch. Oscar the Manager is simply the best! I will recommended this Gourmet Mexican Restaurant with no reserves.

Came for restaurant week and I was impressed! Was not expecting it to be as good as it was. I got surf and turf and the steak was mildly over done than my preference but still tender enough, shrimp were perfect! The homemade chips and dips were good and the salad was basic but their dressing really made it. Also I was disappointed the tres leches wasn’t available but the chocolate mousse cake was an adequate substitute. Also our waiter was very friendly and attentive. I can’t wait to try their full menu next time. Their drinks are pricy but the rose margarita was worth it.

Tequilas is IMO a try once. Food is overpriced but it was good. Drinks as well are overpriced but good. The servers were amazing, very attentive, and friendly. Food and service were good but nothing made say, “ I need to return”.
