- T BJanuary 16, 2017Go for the Frida Kahlo chef's tasting and a Paloma. You can't go wrong. The apps are delicious. Choose meat over seafood. Whatever you do, make sure you get the key lime dessert--a cup of heaven.
- Fodor's TravelAugust 29, 2018Fans of Garces's downtown restaurant, packs of Penn & Drexel students flock here for delicious food as well as the karaoke room, 60 tequilas, nightly DJ, and a screen flashing scenes from Nacho Libre. Read more
Daniel WolfAugust 6, 2014Everything here is incredibly inspired and presented in a creative way. The jicama salad comes with lime sorbet, and the "esquites" is a glass of sweet corn with queso fresco.- Vivek VenkatramJune 30, 2017The artful takes on modern Mexican street food are meant to be shared at Jose Garces’ lively cantina in Spruce Hill, where fans report attentive service and wonderful people-watching.
Morgen PerdueJuly 26, 2013I will go back. The French toast was delicious & Spanish Fly went down too easy on the brunch menu. It was a fun place to go. I will be making a girls night of it soon.
Bonnie JOctober 6, 2013The Frida Kahlo tasting menu was very delicious. Good value for the price ($55). Parties of 6 are ideal for the rounded booths.
Daphne PapapolyzouApril 6, 2015A lot of small plates, everything is good- vegetarian nachos for the middle and the margaritas are excellent
- Krissy WMarch 19, 2018Haven't been in yrs so I decided to go two weeks ago for brunch and had the guava margarita 😋 #Delish
Try kegs and eggs brunch for $10 or the two course $21 brunch! Great sweet and savory options (get the Granada and tortilla soup).
Ashley TranJune 1, 2010The ambiance is so playful and great for group dinners. Margaritas here are DIVINE as they use freshly squeeze fruit juice for their mixes. Also,try the bone marrow tacos with the bacon marmalade!!- Go for the $15 dollar lunch menu. For pescovegetarians get nachos Ignacio, cerviche de camorones, huarache de hongos, mahi mahi tacos
Paula B.June 13, 2014Not your mom's queso fundido: duck barbacoa, poblano chili, and awesome cheese. It'll change your life!
KathrynApril 6, 2012Esquites!!! nacho libre mask wall, strong delicious margaritas and everything on the menu is worth trying makes this place a great time!

BobbyAugust 24, 2013The good is so flavorful. The shaved radishes on the tacos add an incredible touch. Order many dishes.
Anna ParksMarch 10, 2013The blue demon lunch express is the best deal there! So good, and so surprisingly filling, all for 15 bucks
Kristen WargoApril 26, 2011The huevos rancheros for brunch were so delicious I am dreaming about them a month later. I loved all the peppers and beans
Philadelphia MagazineSeptember 15, 2010Delicious Mexican food. Order the los hongos huarache (mushroom flatbread) or the camarones and chorizo tacos, and you’ll fight your friends for the last bites. Read more
Larisa GrollemondFebruary 22, 2016The upstairs bar is usually less crowded. Great margs and pina coladas.- Go for 15 dollar lunch menu and whenever u go make sure to get any of their cornbread entrees

Stephen GillJune 25, 2010Fun scene. Best Margaritas. Get a pitcher (or a few) of El Jefe. Warning: You may regret it in the morning. Best dish hiramasa yellowtail ceviche.
Alanna AnthonyFebruary 23, 2012Good drinks....food lacking some spice! Kind of dull! Servers are very friendly! Cute decor! Great for cocktails. Food eh
Kristin Flip PolidoroFebruary 27, 2013Octopus cechive and veggie nachos. Not too filling and soooo good.
Raul ReyesMay 30, 2011The Frida tasting menu is the way do go ... Add some white wine sangria and Rob as your waiter to make a great nite!
Huaraches are great, but don't come expecting to be blown away. Overall good but no longer inspiring food.
ThrillistSeptember 20, 2010Go here every Monday during football season, where $25 scores you unlimited tacos & enchiladas. Wash them down with $2 Dos Equis
Food NetworkJanuary 18, 2011For authentic Mexican cuisine try Distrito, Jose Garces's restaurant serving Traditional Guacamole, Carnitas Tacos and Ceviche.
