Xochitl - Review - Society Hill - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"If your version of a good night is being surrounded by candlelight, antique Mexican wood carvings and tiles, and a few plates of tacos, Society Hill’s Xochitl is a must-visit. It has a casual atmosphere with one of the best mezcal and tequila selections in the neighborhood. And while we are always down for some flights (especially when they’re only $20) you can’t come here without trying a margarita. They have a basil pineapple option if you’re looking for something that's sweet and earthy, along with flavors like spicy watermelon, prickly pear, and a few others that always seem to have that perfect fruit-tart balance. Their house margarita is $14, but if you come in during Happy Hour from 4-6pm, they’re $6, and you can add purees and spices to them for a few dollars extra." - Candis R. McLean

Where to Eat Outside in Philly on Rainy Days - Eater Philly

"A few Society Hill restaurants are using the covered Shambles, a historic open-air marketplace that dates to the 1700s, for modern outdoor dining. Among them is the Tex Mex restaurant Xochitl, a neighborhood favorite for guacamole and margaritas. On the same block, Pizzeria Stella, known for its Neapolitan-style pies, and new American cafe/wine shop Bloomsday are also serving under the Shambles." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme

I visited on my Birthday and I did enjoy the food along with the service. I recommend the guacamole to start, taste so fresh and is made to order. You have options of what you want in your guacamole. The short rib tacos were delish. The Ultimate Margarita pairs nicely lol, along with the churros!

the cook on the shrimp was amazing. whoever was on grill was superb. loved the tres leches cake dense yet flavorful and not too sweet. i had gone for restaurant week. the dressing on the salad was spicy which was good. the salmon was amazing. chorizo tacos was meh couldn't really taste it tasted more of the other meat.

Real Mexican food. People choice guacamole sounded odd but so good. Drinks we got margaritas perfectly mixed. I had tacos and my husband had the enchiladas both were amazing. I usually never get tacos at a restaurant because I think it won't be enough food, this was enough, we both left stuffed and no room for dessert. Waiter was very kind. Will recommend to anyone in the area.

Absolutely excellent gourmet mexican food restaurant! The service was wonderful and we got to eatoutside right on the street ! The entire experience truly made us feel like we were in some European country eating outside on the cobblestone streets!

Went on a Sunday night so it was quiet and not too busy. I had the spicy brisket tacos and yucca fries (the fries were spicier than the tacos) and they both were very good. The margaritas were small for the price but very tasty. Cute place with excellent/fast service. We’re looking forward to our next visit!

Simply put, EVERYTHING on the menu is made FRESH! Hands down best tacos in Philly 👐🌮🔔(and I have had many, many tacos from all over the city). More than just meat in a tortilla~ Delicious layers of textures and flavors 😋 OH, and btw, NO soggy tortillas! Savory juices served on the side for convenient dipping 🌮🥑Guacamole is made to order with your choice of veggies to add (or exclude for picky eaters)! I highly recommend the prickly pear margaritas~ They juice the prickly pears themselves 🍹😯 Great service. Nice staff. Head House Square, right above South Street.

Great vegetable tacos, as well as the Blood Orange Margarita. Best thing is the customizable guacamole menu.

Perfect place in Philly for Mexican food and drinks. The Guacamole and Fish/Shrimp tacos are amazing. We love the surprise Tequila and Mezcal drinks that Kabila makes for us. This is the perfect place for date night or just starting off your night in Philadelphia before seeing Elton John.
