Food was really good, ordered a side of shrimp that I had to send back because they were burnt, cilantro rice needed seasoning and the virgin lime margarita wasn’t good.
Other than that I enjoyed my food. Our waitress Lorena was AMAZING!!! She went above and beyond! Definitely will visit again.

If I could give this place zero stars I would. The service here is terrible. You will wait FOREVER for a drink, a napkin, or a glass of water, especially during happy hour. These employees need training. They all seemed miserable and the shades were down as if we were waiting for Dracula to make an entrance. It’s sunny and 75! Are you kidding me!? Why are the shades down on a gorgeous evening? Who is managing this place!?
Years ago this place was wonderful. We would spend a a lot of money on a Friday night and tip very well. No more.
Tonight the bartender was rude, had no personality, and made you feel as if you were causing her a huge burden by ordering a beer!! A beer that takes SECONDS to open. I didn’t even ask for a glass!
Save your money or go downtown to one of the elegant Center City establishments that welcomes you when you enter! This place is a disaster. I’m sad to say I cannot support a restaurant in my own neighborhood.

So we thought we’d give this place another chance seeing as we haven’t been back in a long time due to bad service. Everything was going fine… food was fine. Service was good. But we asked for mezcal margarita’s, and instead of asking which mezcal we preferred, or notifying us of pricing, our server just charged us for the most expensive mezcal on the menu. Which really felt unfair. We paid our bill and left, but we told her from here on out that she should clarify, because there are plenty of less expensive mezcal options on the menu. Most people aren’t looking for 30 dollar margaritas. She was nice otherwise, but someone from management needs to speak to the staff about that. I understand upselling… but at least make your customers aware before you do so.

Went with my wife and 3 year old son this past Saturday. Don't let the reviews from last year deter you. They have a new chef in and a new manager. It all starts from the top down, right? Let’s start with service first. Leslie our waitress is the absolute best. She’s so genuine and can very much tell she’s a good person and is also very hard working. We loved her. There was also a waiter working outside (didn’t get his name, sadly) alongside Leslie who I could tell was great too, just in the very few interactions he had with my son running around. You could tell he was very similar to Leslie in terms of service.
The food was excellent, all fresh and delicious. And can’t beat the ambiance of eating outside on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Chestnut Hill. Thanks to everyone for making it a good experience and keep up the great work.

Happy hour drinks and food are reasonably priced. Indoor and outdoor seating available. We enjoyed tacos, house margaritas and guacamole.
The drinks where so good, the seating area outside was nice and clean

The only thing wrong with this location is the type of people it attracts. I do not think it’s very welcoming to all ethnicities. You may be stared at your entire visit.
However, the server, McKenzie is amazing to the point where I remembered her name. Give that girl a raise! She was great.
The food was flavorful as well, and the drinks were good. They also have inside and outdoor seating as well.
The establishment is usually pretty clean. I’m not aware of any happy hour specials. It can be a little bit on the price of your side, depending on what you’re used to spending. I did not mind it.

Had a GREAT dinner at El Poquito! Mackenzie was a FANTASTIC server—super friendly and never rushed us! Taco Tuesday + Happy Hour = perfect combo. Great food, great vibes, and awesome service. Highly recommend!

This is one of our favorite places. Their specials and larger meat cuts are DIVINE. Short ribs, pibil, steak are always delicious. The standard dishes are good, but not what keep us coming back. The service is also great. Everyone is so kind, friendly, and matches their attentiveness to our needs depending on the night.

A beautiful restaurant where you can eat out front, inside, or in the courtyard. Food is delicious. Atmosphere is laid back and colorfull. I love the decor and the service is amazing!
