I recommend the ham sandwich. You can customize everything and most dishes come with a small side. As a runner and frequent Lloyd Hall visitor, I also appreciate the cold water container outside the shop free for use by all. There have been plenty of hot summer days where I refilled my bottle without having to get in line or even thank anyone - so I'm thanking them here!

A long overdue review for the third Pistola's that carries on the tradition of being a solid…read moreneighborhood beer and taco joint! While Jose's is often the first choice for good tacos and beers under one roof in the Rittenhouse Square area,, and Sancho Pistola's provides damn good tacos and burritos in a beer filled Fishtown that doesn't have too many bars that offer them; when it comes to Del Sur its a solid edition to an East Passyunk hot spot that's filled to the brim with taco and beer bar hot spots. And when it comes down to it that's why its taken me so long to revisit it for a review. But whenever I do visit I'm always treated to great service, damn good drinks, and excellent food, and when I come during a Phillies game I can also count on a excellent specials like a pork roll filled SCHWARBERRITO! For drinks I usually go for something from their impressive draft list, especially since I can always count on finding at least one beer from Trouble's End Brewing which Pistola's also owns. But they also have an excellent list of cocktails and margaritas which include nonalcoholic options. Food favorites include: Spicy Tuna Guac - a perfect protein overload served with scallion an sesame seeds. Pistachio Guac - Made even better with goat cheese and chili flakes. Braised Mole Short Rib Tacos - simmered to perfection alongside a truffled potato puree, crispy onions, and a horseradish crema. Brussel Sprout Tacos - a perfect vegetarian taco with pickled jalapenos, sherry honey vinaigrette, and a caramelized shallot puree. Calamari and Chorizo Tacos - a perfectly salty surf and turf with a salsa verde. Mole Wings - a complex sauce containing fruit, nuts, chili peppers, Mexican chocolate make these wings next level! Fried Plantains - made even better with chipotle honey and crema fresca!

Over all we had a good first experience, not a great or very good for 1 reason, why did our server,…read moreAlejandro G (table 23) bring out all our plates at one time and in some backwards random order as each was coming out of the kitchen. Whose every heard of that methodology. The menu is broken out into apps and dishes and as we placed our order we stated we'd open with the soup (please bring a second spoon- which by the way we had to ask for again), and then my wife and I said as we ordered that we would share the longhot pizzia and the steak frites, cooked medium raw, and similar with our friends. Hence all the food was delivered at once. Could not enjoy each on their own and each dish did get cold which made my steak frites not so appetizing. We wpent quite the amount, not an inexpensive place and worst yet it was only 4:30 PM when we sat down and by the time we left, 6 PM, the place was not humming with busy tables so why the rush act. That ruined our experience for us. So you might want to know what other dishes we ordered, friends had the sweet potate wedges, beet and pomme salad, and the spicy chicken sandwich which they both shared. All the food was good and our drink choices were equally as good. If we were to return again due to show at the World Live Cafe, we'd have to be strict about not bringing everything out at once.

The staff gave us some recommendations for items and the items came out quickly all within 20 minutes of ordering. The interior was also very aesthetic, bright and modern with a nice bar on our side. Olive and Rosemary Focaccia - Had a nice crust on the outside with a soft inside. We preferred the red pepper dip as it had a richer flavor while the basil oil didn't have much aroma or flavor. Lemon Parmesan Brussel Sprouts - I loved the crunchy brussel sprout texture with the lemon aioli. It was creamy and cheesy which tasted good in the beginning but did become a little too heavy. Rigatoni Alla Vodka - Pretty underwhelming. The dish itself came out leaning lukewarm to cold and while the pasta was a soft texture, the dish itself didn't have much flavor from the vodka sauce. Crab Cakes - One of the special items and it was pretty fresh, and had a decent crab flavor. We enjoyed the creamier sauce paired with this. While some of the dishes did have decent flavors, not much stood out to us and we expected a little more from the prices we were paying.

A Masterclass in How Not to Run a Restaurant…read more Let me save you the 3+ hours I lost last night. Arrived through the front entrance on Cinco de Mayo and waited 45 minutes inside while staff walked past us repeatedly without a single acknowledgment. No one greeted us. No direction. Just invisible. After I finally asked a server, she pointed us outside to what looked like lawn chairs and a random podium -- no signage, no banner, nothing indicating it was a host stand. We weren't alone in the confusion. Another group of men stood there just as lost, and only when they asked were we all told to queue. Quote time: 1 hour 20 for patio, 1 hour for indoor. We said first available and waited at the bar -- only to be told we were at the wrong end of the bar. The "right" bartenders? Completely ignored us. An hour later, we get the text. Walk up. Two women behind us also get their text. They're walked to patio seating. We're walked to a dim corner two-seater. I asked about outside -- the host literally wiped the table and said "this is what we got." Because I said "first available," apparently that meant least desirable. Then we sat. For almost an hour. No water. No drink order. Nothing. My phone died waiting. I had to leave to refill a parking meter. I asked for a manager. She arrived -- hands on hips, swaying, visibly unbothered. She threw $23 off a bill I never asked to be fixed. I didn't want a discount. I wanted dignity and basic service. The food? Actually good. But here's what I couldn't unsee: not one Mexican person on the floor. Not one host, server, bartender, or busser. Every single Mexican worker was in the back -- in the kitchen, invisible, making minimum wage -- while the front of house celebrated Cinco de Mayo as a cash grab. That's not a coincidence. That's a choice. We will not keep accepting disrespect for the sake of convenience. Do better, or close.

Beyond the tenders, there's bites, sandwiches, salads, pastries and TONS of sauce options. In addition to their food, they have an entire cooler of drinks from shots, to single cans and 6 packs.

The condensed milk in the cream complemented the banana and cake perfectly! Would definitely return just for this dessert. DRINKS We had their banana latte and calamansi drinks. Both were light and refreshing! SERVICE The staff are very kind and friendly! AMBIANCE There are two floors-- both offering a nice view of the restaurant and the street below. In the daytime, the place functions as a cafe, where guests often come to catch up with friends or study/work. At night, the place transforms into a cozy, intimate space to enjoy a nice meal with friends and loved ones. Ample seating is available on both floors, ranging from tables for 8-10, counter seating, and smaller tables for smaller tables for 2-4. PARKING Paid street parking is available at a limited capacity.

Went with a group of about 7 or 8 and it was very difficult to get seating. The time you walk through the door, order your food, and to receive it will take quite a while. By 11:30 on Saturday, they have to stop people from walking in and wait outside until the line inside shortened. For anyone looking for the most authentic Filipino food, this is not the place. With that said, the food is still good. It has a Filipino flare, with a modern, for the masses, feel. Would try the place, but not frequently.
