Tequilas Restaurant

Came here on a date night.Made reservations and thankfully I did. Saw signs about brunch which caught my attention and now I have to come back for the brunch. We had a friendly and attentive server waiting on us. I wanted to try a bit of everything but decided on the sweet plantain with beef and it was amazing. Everything I bit into was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The food was perfect and a great date night selection.

Tequilas= an elegant setting, great service, amazing food...consistently! Every single time we have come the food has been so tasty - love everything from the chicken tacos to the carne asada! The drinks are also a strong pour. Their outdoor streetery is great and their indoor setting is fabulous. Will come again, and frequently!

I went to Tequilas Reaturant for the first time during restaurant week. I was happy with the menu options and how they had meat, pescatarian options, and veg options. The place is gorgeous with high ceilings, chandeliers, and tons of indoor and outdoor seating. The staff was very fun and friendly making the experience great! The food was good but not amazing enough for 5 stars. The chips and dips were great start of course! The enchiladas were described to be stuffed with crab, lobster, and shrimp but I just tasted crab. The sauces on top were okay but nothing to write home about. The steak and shrimp had more variety on the plate with rice, beans, steak, and shrimp. The shrimp were super flavorful and delicious. I asked the steak to be cooked medium rare and it came out just at well done. The desserts were good but I'd say the cocktails were the best part! I would come back to happy hour!!

Tequila's has been a mainstay in Philly since 1986. I stopped by for a Winter Restaurant Week 2023 dinner at the bar, realizing it has been far too many years since my last visit. The bar area was very lively. Since it was also Happy Hour, I was able to get a discounted Daquari. It was perfectly mixed and I'll just say I didn't stop at one. Soon after i got my first drink a plate of chips and salsa arrived. This comes with the meal. It kept me satisfied as ordered and waited for my meal. The restaurant week menu was impressive. I opted for the TAQUITOS DE POLLO appetizer. It's chicken wrapped up in a corn tortilla topped with salsa. A tasty appetizer that got the meal off to a good start. My entree was the ENCHILADAS PLAYA. It's a steal at Reataurant Week prices. It's crabmeat, lobster, shrimp, and peppers wrapped in a flour tortilla and then covered with melted cheese. It's an outstanding dish. I devoured every drop. If it's on the restaurant week menu moving forward you do not want to skip it. It just happened to be national chocolate cake day when I was there, so I got the CHOCOLATE MOUSSE cake for dessert instead of the Tres Leches, which I have had before and remember it being very good. I was happy with my decision. A delectable dessert that is a unique take on the chocolate cake. At the end of my meal I felt really silly for letting so many years go by without going back to Tequila's. I will not make the same mistake again!

Incredible food for restaurant week, and great service and ambiance. We had the following dishes for restaurant week ($40 dinner), plus some extra dishes:- Ensalada cesar - my friends loved it, but I didn't think it was anything special. It was good but nothing to rave about. All I thought was that it had good crunchiness lol. - Mar v tierra (steak and shrimp) - so good! I had the rib eye steak cooked medium rare, and it was flavorful and tender. Shrimps were huge, buttery-rich, and flavorful. The portions were incredibly filling and generous for restaurant week, and there were sides of rice and black beans too. I was impressed--normally, portions for restaurant week can be a bit skimpy, but at not this place! - Fish tacos - delicious, warm, and very tasty- Ceviche - okay. Just not a big fan of that dish in general. - Tres leches cake - amazing! The cake was very fresh and soft, and the frosting cream was light and not overly sweet at all. - Chocolate mousse - meh. I love chocolate and normally must have chocolate-containing desserts, but I'm also not a big fan of mousse's soft/fluffy texture. Tres leches cake was definitely so much better, and I'm glad I got that one instead.

To kick off our final semester, me and my friend enjoyed a night out in Philly and dinner from Tequilas, and we had the most wonderful time. Our server was one of the most sweetest people I've ever met, and funny too!We started with guacamole as our appetizer, and it came out with the best chips and two additional sides. No, the chips were so good we ate them down to the crumbs! Next, we ordered drinks. I had their rose margarita, and my friend tried their peach lease and short rib drink. If you're a fan of sweet drinks, I recommend the rose margarita!For the main course, I had the Molcajete de Pollo, which I know for next time can be split between two people. If you're looking for a massive dish, I recommend it. It came out still pipping hot and was served with a side of tortillas, rice, and mole sauce, and it was DIVINE!! We ended off with a slice of Tres Leches Cakes, and it sure gave us a good night's sleep. If oyrur looking for an elegant restaurant for a girl's night, a date for two, or just a night out celebration, Tequilas is the place to be!

I've been to Tequilas a few times over the years and while I enjoy the food, I can't say it's particularly remarkable. During my most recent visit, I ordered the ceviche and molcajete de pollo which ended uo being my favorite dishes I've ever had at the restaurant. The drinks never disappoint. My go-to is the rose margarita.The real star of Tequilas is the staff. They're so much fun and have a great energy. Even if I'm not super dazzled by the food, the staff makes every experience memorable.

We went here on a Saturday evening and it was very busy. The space is much bigger than I was expecting as well. It's definitely on the pricy side for Mexican but the price does fit the environment and service. We started off with their Tequilas Margarita and a Paloma. Both were pretty good and exactly what we were expecting. Nothing more and nothing less. They also start you off with chips and salsa. Everything tasted really fresh but the salsa was mild. No heat whatsoever. Now maybe they know their average clientele isn't looking for any flavor from the salsa but I think they should give you choice because the salsa was well made but it was just disappointing for those that like some heat. I ordered the Carne Asada a la Tampiqueña and my partner got the veggie enchiladas with the verde sauce. The carne asada was well presented and very good. The enchiladas were delicious and the verde sauce was just the right amount of tangy but also very mild.

I came here with a colleague on a weekday evening and it was fairly busy, but we had a reservation and did not have to wait to get seated. It has an upscale interior and a festive ambience. It's definitely a place for special occasions since we heard them singing birthday songs every 30minutes or so.The complimentary chips and salsa were good, though the chips were pretty greasy. We shared the queso fundido and it was definitely a slice of cheese heaven, but a little too heavy for the both of us.I had the pescado tequilas. Our server recommended the dish and it was no disappointment at all. The fish was very juicy and tender. The garnish was delicious and the rice/veggies were cooked just right.

For a place that looks like nothing from the outside, it's quite beautiful inside!Sometimes you need something to revive your cocktail palate from vodka boredom...and a good quality tequila can be just the answer. The cocktails here are expertly crafted (many are tequila-forward) and our friend was flipping out over how delicious the Chanoc was. If you like cilantro, then this is the cocktail for you. The rest of our crew enjoyed our jalapeno margaritas. Nice kick of heat, but nothing that will set your stomach ablaze. I also especially love bartenders who provide water without having to ask. If you keep your cocktail-to-water ratio equal, then you will never experience a hangover!We only stopped in for drinks, but one member of our party ordered the Sopa De Tortilla, and she was "oohing" and "ahhing" the entire time. Broth based, and chock full of queso fresco and chicken. It was a texture lover's dream. The tortilla chips are made in-house and we could have easily eaten a vat of them if given the option.This is a perfect spot for a date (music is low and classy) and the ambiance is swank-tastic. Love the chandelier in the center of the bar area.Can't wait to return for that soup!
