Seriously cannot recommend this place enough!! My friend and I went for lunch and immediately felt welcomed, the atmosphere is amazing as well! They have beautiful decorated tiles behind the bar and beautiful unique chairs, along with many other wonderful decorations. The waitress could not be better with her service, being very patient when I needed lots of time to decide what I wanted. Our waters were refreshed by the gentleman behind the bar, who was extremely polite and kept...

If you’re ever in the area and looking for the perfect margarita go see Margarita Maira! Her service was delightful and generous. When I come back to Philly I will be stopping by again.

If you’re looking for delicious Mexican food, drinks, and low key vibes. This is the spot. This is the second time I’ve been here. The first time was only for drinks at the bar but this time we sat and got some lunch. The carnitas chimichanga 👌 and the mezcal margarita was on point. Shout out to the entire staff, especially Maria who took care of us the whole time! As a NY-er that comes into Philly often, this will be my go-to that gets a return visit.
