I was here with a party of 9 to celebrate a milestone birthday. They would not allow us to order dinner until the 9th member of our party who was running late showed up. They wanted to charge us a $13 per slice cake cutting fee. They inquired about who the birthday guest was but never acknowledged. The food and ambiance was amazing but the service was awful. Again the $13 cake cutting fee seemed to be a bit excessive. I couldn’t get past that.

Really great, inventive haute cuisine real Mexican; well executed thoughtfully prepared. Might have slipped a bit since my initial visit, but that could just be me being super impressed first go-around. Quite noisy on the weekends, be prepared to wait for your cocktails.

I love it here. It's a nice spot for solo dates too. Love the ceviche and carnitas tacos. The drinks are delicious including the mocktails. Kevin is a wonderful bartender!

I came in from work to Philly from out of town and had the best experience thanks to the bartender Manny! He provided great recommendations and made amazing drinks. My partner and I had a blast ! Manny was personable and constantly checked in and knew how to continuous provide added value to our over all experience ! Every time I come back to Philly I will make sure to pay a visit thanks to Manny!

Great spot for happy hour. Food and drinks are great. Staff is super friendly and inviting.
Stayed here at the Motto hotel and wanted to grab something to eat before going into Philly. We had reservations for 6pm and there were plenty of tables to choose from. You can sit inside or outside by the fireplaces. The waiter was very nice and helpful. We ordered the chicken enchiladas with some drinks to go along and it was good. The green sauce had the slightest spice and the wraps were stuffed with chicken.

They serve various Mexican dishes, many of which I hadn't experienced before. Overall the menu features plenty of classic Mexican fare at fairly reasonable prices. I especially loved the spicy Mezcal Margarita at $13.

We loved our dinner. The food was amazing. I had the tlayudas and my husband the fish tacos. The food was a little bit spicy, so we ended with the mango chamoyada to balance the heat. The service was outstanding, and our waiter was very attentive. We will be back.

The service always spectacular!! The golden appetizer is The Sil Pak, never stop The Sil Pak.The Ceviche well just isn't, maybe it wanted to show up but the execution is just not Ceviche. The desserts The Chocolate Merengue is not or has no Merengue components! its just NOT its chocolate mousse ganache and over powering heavy for no reason. The creme of The creme is The Chamoyada!!! Its light refreshing and wonderful in flavors!!!! Kudos to James Maddie !!! KUDOS
Cool looking place but mediocre
