1. Que Chula Es Puebla
This is my favorite Mexican place in the city, hands down. I wouldn't advise eating-in even though it's a BYO since the atmosphere is kind of pizza-shoppy and the neighborhood isn't the greatest to look at, but I've done it and it's been fine. We…More »
2. Loco Pez
Philadelphia, PA 19125
(267) 886-8061
Categories:
American (New),
Mexican
Neighbourhood: Fishtown
I didn't think it'd happen, but I've finally found ANOTHER Mexican joint in my 'hood. While I still love Que Chula Es Puebla for my delicious taco shell tacos, Loco Pez wins in almost every other category.
Location: .02 miles from my house? Awesome!

3. Cantina Dos Segundos
Philadelphia, PA 19123
(215) 629-0500
So, I guess I lied when I wrote in my last review that I wouldn't gorge myself - because I definitely did just that last night. As a matter of fact, I was asleep by 8 p.m., that's how liquored up and full I was.
I'll keep this short - last night we…More »

HOLY CRAP, GUYS. I just left Cantina Dos Segundos and feel like Violet from Charlie and… Read more »
4. El Camino Real
Philadelphia, PA 19123
(215) 925-1110
I went to El Camino Real for a surprise birthday party for my cousin-in-law. A few of us went early to eat dinner before the guest of honor arrived. I was feeling kind of sick that day, so I opted for a chicken taco salad (which I judged to be a mild…More »
5. Alma de Cuba
Philadelphia, PA 19103
(215) 988-1799
Categories:
Latin American,
Caribbean
Neighbourhoods: Rittenhouse Square, Penn Center
I can't believe I have yet to review Alma de Cuba.
Let me say that I've only been here for drinks and dessert. I'd love to come for dinner as everything that I've seen come out of the kitchen looks and smells amazing, but I just haven't had the chance…More »
6. Mixto
Philadelphia, PA 19107
(215) 592-0363
Categories:
Latin American,
Cuban
Neighbourhood: Washington Square West
If you're looking for a good happy hour, this place is the place to be. A couple times a week they have mojitos on special, and it's totally worth it to go. Let me also say: I don't like mojitos. Let me clarify: I don't like the traditional mojito.…More »
7. The Adobe Cafe
I'm giving the Adobe Cafe three stars...two stars for our sit-down visit, and four stars for our take-out experience.
The first time I ever went to this restaurant was with a few family members. I got the Adobe Mexican Combo and liked some things but…More »
8. Qdoba Mexican Grill
Philadelphia, PA 19121
(215) 763-4090
Neighbourhoods: Templetown, Avenue of the Arts North
Let's face it, Qdoba is not where you should go if you're craving *real* Mexican food. But for those of us who work close by and are craving something other than the tuna sandwich that we brought for lunch, it's an OK choice.
My gripes are as follows:…More »
9. El Azteca Mexican Restaurant
In June of 2009 it was my (now) husband's and (prior) roommate's birthday. We made a reservation at El Azteca in either April or May for the June date. We made the reservation based on the fact that you could bring tequila and beer and eat lots of…More »
