Chef Marcie Blaine Turner and co-owner Valerie Safran put the thrill into women owned businesses. They pretty much own 13th Street, with numerous outstanding restaurants and boutiques.. These are far and away my favorite restaurants in Philadelphia. Try any of them, they are magical.
The waitress was extremely rude when me and my bf decided we wanted to dine in instead of takeout. They told us we couldn’t sit to eat and reluctantly let us sit after looking at each other with a defeated and nasty looks. It was freezing out so we asked about them turning on our heat lamp, the waitress refused to turn it on even tho everyone around us had their heat lamp turned on. She said because we weren’t supposed to be there she couldn’t turn it on. She didn’t bring us plates or utensils so I insisted on her bringing over the manager. The manager was even more rude and defended the waitress’s actions. We were the only ones being treated like this BUT we were also the only ppl of color dining that night as well….. says a lot w out saying it… I will never dine here again. If you’re a person of color I would tread lightly dining here.
First time back to Philly in a long time and I was on a mission to go back to Lolita. I remember having the most amazing green enchiladas with shrimp years ago, I mean so good I remember it. However, I was sad to discover that they no longer have that enchilada. I had the red sauce enchiladas and nachos oh baby whether it's red sauce or green Lolita makes the best!
Intimate setting with great service and even better food.
Mexican restaurant located in the Gayborhood of Center City. On 13th street surrounded by many restaurants, this place is a gem. Amazing Mexican dishes like mango guac, tacos burritos and amazing margs. Good service but can be busy at times so make sure to reserve a spot!
They were very attentive to our needs. The staff remained in masks at all times and our waitress was great.
Great happy hour drinks, loved the blood orange margarita! Also stayed for dinner, we really enjoyed the chicken enchiladas and fish tacos. Will def be coming back!

The drinks are a tad pricey, but it’s great Mexican food with a gluten-free focus.
