Tequilas Casa Mexicana has held its spot near Rittenhouse Square since 1986. It reopened under Chef Fabián Delgado Padilla, who built the current menu around a connection between Guadalajara and Philadelphia, using traditional Mexican techniques throughout.
The cold kitchen centers on the signature PalReal guacamole alongside dishes inspired by the coastal flavors of Mazatlán, Tijuana, and Jalisco, including street-vendor-style tostadas. A "Make your Taco" section lets diners build tacos from the kitchen's main courses.
The hot kitchen pairs traditional mains with newer additions to the menu, and the dessert section has been reworked into original takes on Mexican sweets.
Many regulars who knew the restaurant before its reopening have stayed loyal, and it's known for attentive service and a lively dining room in the heart of Rittenhouse Square.
