| A fixture in Philly since David Suro opened it in 1986, Tequila’s is lovely --- all glittering chandeliers, colorful murals of Mexican life, and los catrines, the whimsical skeletons that were symbols of the 1910 revolution. Suro and Claudio Soto turn out all manner of Mexican food from various parts of that country, everything 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. A three-course $15 lunch is a good deal, as is happy hour, which kicks off at 2 p.m. --- unusual in Philly --- and includes discounted appetizers at the bar. The crêpe with vanilla ice cream is fine for dessert. Choose from a 100-bottle tequila list, which includes Siembra Azul, Suro’s own Kosher, 100 percent blue agave, small batch tequila. |
