| In the handsome space where Philadelphians once dined discreetly on fine French cuisine served beneath glittering chandeliers, 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, 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 and discounted appetizers at the bar. The crêpe with vanilla ice cream is fine for dessert. Choose from a 100-tequila list, which includes Siembra Azul, Suro’s Kosher, 100 percent blue agave, small batch tequila. |
