Robin Farrow

Take a walk on the spicy side and try the Jalapeño margarita . Just enough bite with a cool after taste. Great vibe at the bar if you're in the area for cocktails . Wait staff at bar attentive

claarrr

Their Mexican is tex-mex and they fully admit it. Great tasting, but don't count it as authentic . Meanwhile the BBQ is delicious as well . The sandwiches are huge & try their BBQ sauces !

Lindsey Timberman

Guac & queso fundido are amazing! Two of us shares both appetizers and had no need for dinner - so filling! The pitchers of margs are a great deal; they don't skimp on the tequila & they're only $20!

Y Miller

They offer GREAT drinks their happy hour is awesome, they serve the best margarita pitcher for just $12. Their buffalo wings are very good.The crowd is pretty chill and their outside eatery is amazing

Emmanuel Williams

Great space to drink & hang out with friends! The service can be a little iffy sometimes (depending on waiter/waitress) but overall a go-to spot for a good time & good eat.

Bre Bonner

Amazing brunch ! Chicken and Biscuits meal is so good and so are their fried pickles . Make sure you get the margarita pitcher or mimosas just to top it all off.

Brianna TaShawn

try the Fried Calamari with the Cilantro Lime dipping for a starter & Big Ass Burger or The Gringo Steak Burrito . All very delicious.

Sleazy E

The pork shoulder is like a hug from Jesus. Like, the kind of hug that leads to the blinds getting closed and the funky porn music starts playing. Dirty Christ sex; the pork shoulder here is THAT good

Ava

everything is amazing and very fresh! love that they have a lot of options for vegetarians , try the gringo burrito with seitan ! Also, HALF PRICED margarita pitchers during happy hour !

Toni Christine

The Pig Wings are delicious and you will come back again and again just for those plus the pitchers of margaritas are fantastic!!!

Theresa Velykis

I was never brave enough to try re fried cactus and sweet potato burrito until recently (I was happy getting the awesome veggie wings ). BOY was I missing out! So delish.

Jason Velykis

Coming here and not getting food is impossible. It's awesome. When available, the Puebla Burger (not on the regular menu)is one of the best in the city .

Randall Goodson

I love the ribs , gringo burrito and, if you're in there on a Saturday... Shrimp and grits . Drink wise Jarrett makes THE BEST DRINKS

Carol

We ordered takeout and got surcharged for COVID-19.... I don’t understand how that works. They charge for carry out , but what’s the difference between that and delivery ? And they expect a tip?🤬🤯👎

Leanne Alyssa

The literal best veggie wings in all of Philadelphia and I have pretty much tried them all

B.J. Ellis

Service here has improved recently! Chronic is still bangin'.

Duane M

Can't go wrong with the Buttermilk Fried Chicken or Pulled Pork w/ chihuahua cheese . For Appetizer the Nachos are always a good choice.

Brendan Gallagher

Do yourself a favor and share a s'mores bread pudding for the table for dessert . Trust me.

Ty Howard

Fastest service EVER!!!! It's like there's a wizard in the kitchen waving his wand around as order come in. And don't get me started on these nachos........

Maureen Kozempel

Bacon was amazing. The kitchen was slow 35 min for apps and 1 never even made it to the table noy going to be a repeat customer SORRY

Maria Chavarria

$13 pitchers of margaritas for happy hour ! 4-7pm! Shrimp quesadillas are the delish!

Jennifer Wintergrass

Skinny girl margarita and endless chips . ❤ Fried calamari taco salad ... Bangin'!

Priti Domadia

If you're a vegetarian , then you will go crazy for their veggie wings ! Best I've had yet!

Marie Kyle

Vegans -- the cactus and potato tacos are out of this world! Beware if you make it a PLATO ...the black beans are good but the rice is quite bland.

Bart Stachurski

Happy hour margarita pitchers 1/2 off and $1 endless chips is amazing.

Tony Mrk

The Puebla Omelet was def the best omelet I ever ate, and it came with a free mimosa . Love this place.

Linda Lam

This place is soo good! Happy hour is a good deal ! They have late happy hour from 10-12 sun-thurz!!!

Shayla Smith

The food was great, didn't take too long, and the atmosphere was great!

Kelsey Huse

Turkey BLT is the way to go. The Big Ass Burger ain't too shabby either.

B.J. Ellis

Get the Chronic. You don't know what you are missing.

Alex Stein

Amazing margaritas , guac and salsas !

John O'Sullivan

Warning. Pig Wings may cause obsessive thoughts about eating more Pig Wings .

B.J. Ellis

Pro tip. If you see 4 empty tables, your wait will still be stated at 30 minutes. Don't worry you will only wait 25 mins. I don't get it.

Shani Adia

Must get the chicken and biscuits . Awesome

Jacey

Get a side of corn , you won't regret it.
