Why We Like It

You’ll feel the “Guadaladelphian” spirit as soon as you walk through the door at this Tequilas Restaurant sister spot — every detail, down to the chairs, comes straight from Mexico. Expect tortas ahogadas (carnitas sandwiches soaked in tomato broth), chilaquiles omelets, and savory beef soup, plus a grapefruit Garibaldi and house-fermented agave highballs on the drinks side, which are all spot-on.


Need to Know

Both rooms share a thoughtful food menu offering everything from small snacks to large plates.
