When I lived in the neighborhood I loved coming here. It was always where I brought friends from out of town. Since I moved a couple of years ago, I’ve only been a handful of times but each time it’s been disappointing, to the point I can’t justify going here anymore. Some menu items aren’t as described, some food is great but most is pretty basic. Service has been the worst part though. Eye rolling, scoffing at requests like “can I have a glass for the margaritas too” (because they brought too few) and being laughed at when you ask if you could have chips when they didn’t bring any with the chips and salsa you ordered (after waiting 10 minutes to ask because people forget things, it happens...
This is a tough review to write. The food was really good. Beyond traditional Mexican fare, this restaurant offers multiple choices for vegan/vegetarian dietary restrictions. We got the platanos, esquites, vegan tamales, and chilaquiles, and they were all delicious. All that said, we were underwhelmed by the quality of the service, and that may be an understatement. While I can understand slow service when a place is busy and understaffed on a Sunday afternoon, I won’t give a pass to snarky, unwarranted treatment. Unfortunately, we were subject to both. It may have just been a bad day, but not sure we’ll return.
Cantina Los Caballitos in Philadelphia is a Mexican cuisine gem. The vibrant atmosphere and friendly staff create the best dining environment. The real standout, though, is their outstanding margaritas! Open late, it's the perfect spot for a delicious dinner or post-midnight snack. The blend of flavors, inviting ambiance, and convenient late-night service make this a must-visit for an unforgettable Mexican dining experience in South Philly. Cheers to a culinary gem!
This place is like that old friend you run into and actually DONT hide from lol always nice to catch up, it's comforting and exciting at the same time. Loved sitting by ourselves in the corner with the birds. Little finches everywhere. Felt like Cinderella. Vegan and vegetarian options make it easy to take a group here as well.

. This place is great. Our server is so sweet and we sat there for 4 hours ordering multiple pitchers and not once did we feel like we overstayed. We laughed loudly and took many pictures. We ordered food off the brunch menu and it is delicious. No regrets and will be a repeat costumer.
Such a happy and cosi place to relax and enjoy a tasteful margarita in a very good price. The outdoor sitting area is amazing and remids of summer. Great music inside. A great place to visit in South Philly. Very good prices as well.
One of my all time favorites. Creative Margherita, city-wides, and a wonderful outdoor dining area. Has become a staple in the neighborhood
Hands down the worst queso dip I've ever had. The other food was fine but I've had better. Maybe it's because we're from Texas...

It's a nice twist on Mexican food here in Philly....nothing like you'd get in Cali/Texas..... not authentic at all.
I ordered a vegan chorizo burrito here and it was delicious. I'm super happy that they offer vegan alternatives.
