Best New Restaurants in Philly Right Now | Eater Philly

"After a fire-related two-year closure that resulted in a full redesign, Tequilas is back and better than ever. You’ll find classic Mexican dishes like Caesar salad (which was founded in Tijuana), cochinita, chile relleno, enchiladas suizas, and more. Newly opened sibling La Jefa serves food the team is calling Guadaladelphian, which explores culinary connections between Philly and Guadalajara. Think lonches, which are big Mexican sandwiches, plus Mexican coffee, fresh-pressed fluffy juices, and all-day natural wines. In the evening, the space transforms into one of the most ambitious cocktail bars in Philly." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
