"Center City’s rustic Italian eatery Mercato and West Passyunk’s Latin-leaning La Mula Terca also plan to let patrons bring their own booze as usual on Thanksgiving Eve." - Tierney Plumb

Philly Cantina La Llorona Became a Dining Destination During COVID-19 - Eater Philly

"La Mula Terca — 'the stubborn mule' — was a departure for the neighborhood, transforming a corner spot known for quick takeout into a small, welcoming dining room where customers were encouraged to bring their own tequila to pour into pitchers of margarita mix and linger over standout birria and soups seasoned with avocado leaves." - Caroline Coral

I personally love this restaurant. I think La Mula Terca is my favorite Mexican restaurant. The quality of the food is just amazing, when people think about Mexican food, they always think about "tacos" but this is more than that... This is a variety of flavors and textures, please make sure to try different dishes if you visit more than one time. The staff is the best, they are very friendly. I recently celebrated my wedding anniversary there and they made us this cute dessert with a message on it. They are just the best!

Customer Service is superb. Personally, the flavors weren't what I was expecting or anticipated with the birria tacos. I think its because I am used to beef flavor and lamb has a very distinctive taste that with these tacos I wasn't a fan of. The elote was yummy and the chips and mango guacamole too! But the entrees were just ok in my opinion. I would recommend that you try them out personally because flavor preference is individual.

Really good mexican place for dine in. The place is small and cosy. We loved the tamarind drink, definitely a must try. The corn on the cob was good. For entree, we tried the birria tacos and chimichuri steak. Both were tasty. Although, the service was a little slow, the staff were friendly and good. Definitely recommended.

I wish this place was bigger so that they could have more seating, but La Mula Terca is definitely a BYOB favorite. The service is always great. They are cash only and they have an ATM inside. The food has yet to disappoint. Bring your tequila and they will mix your drink with their pitchers of Margarita mix for $10. I typically get the Mango Chicken Tacos, so I thought I would try something different and went with the Lamb Birria this time.

This place is absolutely incredible. It was clean, delicous, and our server was on point. It was like trying everything for the first time with how much higher quality it was. The spiced coffee, was easily the best coffee I've ever had. This place is a must try.

My partner and I were craving quesabirria so we looked for the closest restaurant that offered it. This place turned out to be such a gem in the neighborhood. They serve deliciously well portioned tacos and other dishes. Service was great and friendly. Would definitely come back again!

If you are in South Philly, this joint is a must!! Juan took great care of us. I’ve been wanting to try tacos birria for a long time. I finally found a place that sells them. They are soooooo delicious!! I also tried tamarind juice for the first time which was also good but it would be better with tequila in a margarita.

The restaurant itself is very small and simple. I had to poke my head into the kitchen to get the server's attention and we were given worn paper takeout menus to order from. But our server was very nice, the food arrived pretty quickly, and most importantly, the food was absolutely incredible. I'd never had arepas before and now I'm kind of worried that if I order them from a different restaurant they'll be a letdown because of how addictively delicious these were. I was surprised by how generous the portions were, especially with how much steak filling is given for just $13. I'm not a local but I'd come back to Philly just to eat here again.
