The 15 Best Restaurants Near Rittenhouse Square - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"La Jefa opened with a lot of anticipation—after all, it’s the sibling of the beautiful (and much-beloved) Tequila’s. By day, this cafe stands out on its own thanks to its fantastic Mexican-inspired breakfast and baked goods. But come nightfall, the lights go dim, the music borders on clubstaurant volume, and it turns into a sexy spot for date night. Skip the larger plates and opt for a snacky dinner of starters: the shrimp aguachile is punchy, the carnitas vampiro are served with a silky guacachile, and you'll fight over the last of the caesar slaw with the taco dorado. If you don't have time for a full meal, at least try one of the fantastic cocktails." - candis mclean, alison kessler
