Go 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 Travel

Fans 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

Everything 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 Venkatram

The 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.

I 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.

The Frida Kahlo tasting menu was very delicious. Good value for the price ($55). Parties of 6 are ideal for the rounded booths .

A lot of small plates , everything is good- vegetarian nachos for the middle and the margaritas are excellent

The 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 !!
