"At East Passyunk's La Llorona Cantina, you know the drill: a marathon of tacos and margaritas is essential. But the aguachile and ceviches—that are just as bright as the neon bat behind the bar—also deserve your attention. There's an aguachile verde and ceviche on the menu, and you can choose shrimp or scallops as the headliner on both. We love the citrusy kick in the aguachile just as much as the fiery habanero and tangy mango in the ceviche. This means there are no wrong choices here when it comes to the start of your meal." - candis mclean
"With a mezcal and tequila list as long as the line around the Rocky statue, and a kitchen that stays open until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, La Llorona Cantina is where we go for margaritas and late-night Mexican food. Come on a casual weeknight and start with things like scallop aguachile verde, then move on to a quesadilla or a pan-seared branzino." - alison kessler, candis mclean
"The Deal: $7 Margaritas and Sangrias, $5 Beers, $3.50 Tacos, And $6-$8 Small Plates Since they have one of the bigger sidewalk setups on Passyunk Ave., you can do Happy Hour surrounded by more plants and margaritas than your trip to Cancun. There’s plenty of umbrellas and tables for big groups where you can enjoy wallet-friendly nachos, fried shrimp with smoked chipotle sauce, and chicken tinga tostada." - candis mclean
"With a mezcal and tequila list as long as the line around the Rocky statue, and a kitchen that stays open until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, this South Philly cantina is the place to be for a celebratory round of margaritas and birria tacos. Unlike most on this list, these are not topped with cheese, but the fragrant meat and herbal, oniony consomme more than makes up for it. Grab an order of the limey Mexican street corn, too." - alison kessler
