| In the handsome space where Philadelphians once dined discreetly beneath glittering chandeliers on fine French cuisine, there is now an upscale version of Tequila’s, the Mexican fave from 15th and Locust Streets. The chandeliers still glitter, only now they illuminate colorful murals of Mexican life, and los catrines, the whimsical skeletons that were symbols of the 1910 revolution. David Suro and Claudio Soto turn out all manner of Mexican food from various parts of that country, all carefully spelled out in Suro’s poetic menu descriptions. Have margaritas by all means, and try the empanadas, and anything that contains huitlacoche or a mole sauce. The crêpe with vanilla ice cream is fine for dessert. Choose from a 100-tequila list, including Siembra Azul, Suro’s Kosher, 100 percent blue agave, small batch tequila. |
