If tequila is your thing, you’ll want to make a point of visiting Tequila’s while you’re here. The beautifully decorated, upscale Mexican restaurant boasts dozens of fine sipping tequila’s to try. Of course, if you’re looking for expertly prepared, authentic Mexican cuisine, Tequila’s is a good place to find that too.
For nearly twenty years, Tequila’s has been serving excellent Mexican fare to the Rittenhouse neighborhood. A few years ago, the restaurant moved into its current location in a stately townhouse on Locust Street. Several dining rooms are individually decorated with murals, paintings and elegant lighting and furnishings.
First things first: upon sitting down, you should order a carafe of margaritas for the table. They come in a large jug that sits upright on the table — there’s a spout at the base for easy pouring. For starters, the tortilla soup is great; so is the shrimp ceviche. Popular main courses include enchiladas with mole poblano, carne aguacate (a stuffed steak with an avocado and cilantro cream sauce) and, of course, a tequila- and chile-marinated whole red snapper.
In the end, you can go to Tequila’s for a romantic evening with the object of your affection, a festive evening with a group of your closest friends, or a relaxing evening with a seat at their long, dark wood bar.
