¿Te gusta salir de copas? Las bebidas Maragritas tiene una encantadora!

 Las Margaritas is a Mexican cuisine themed restaurant that is located in Philadelphia. It is known to be the best Mexican restaurant in the Philadelphia area and renowned for their excellent food. Many people know the restaurant for their exquisite food but what originally made this place famous was their excellent margaritas. They have over fifteen different types of margaritas and twenty other alcoholic drinks to chose from not including wines and beers. Anyone who has been to the restaurant recommends getting a drink too – that is if you are twenty-one or older.


If you are an Eastern student with a car, it is about a forty minute drive. The address is: Las Margaritas Mexican Restaurant & Bar.
                 2538-40 Welsh Rd.
                 Philadelphia, PA 19152

All you have to go is go to Google Maps or Map Quest and they will provide accurate directions for you.

If you plan on taking the train you will want to catch the incoming train to Center City Philadelphia (The Paoli/Thordale Line) HERE is where you can get directions.

I have been to this restaurant only once, but I was not disappointed. I do not have any pictures but they have really tasty fajitas and their chicken dishes are great as well. If you are vegetarian, they also provide dishes without meat.Not to mention I love their dessert! I would recommend getting one. If you are low on money then you could always get a dish to split. The Zagat survey would probably rate this place as 'M' for moderatly expensive. If you are visiting this blog for the first time, the key is at the very bottom of the first blog post.

So, since things have been so busy at school I haven't had time to get pictures for you guys so I improvised and found a few online.

If you are an Eastern Student and you wish to go to this restaurant, it's not that far from Eastern University's campus. If you take the train, you will have to go in to 30th Street first, then get on to another train – The Fox Chase line in order to get to the White Elephant. It is located in a shopping center, to the left of the Wendy's and a Genardi's grocery store.
This food is Thai cuisine, and it is one of my favorite types of foods (Actually, I love all Asian food in general). Its a little on the expensive side, and it would be rated ME for Moderately Expensive considering all of the entrees are within the $15-30 range. The atmosphere is romantic and warm – an ideal place to go on a date with a significant other. Here is one of my favorite dishes:

It is called Evil Jungle Princess.


And this is what the decor looks like:



I remember I used to be so picky about what foods I would eat. Once I got older, I decided to try everything at least once, that way if I don't like it then I never have to eat it again. But if I discover I do like it, it'll be another food to add to my list of things that I enjoy eating. The menu offers a variety of Thai food and if you are adventurous enough, I challenge you to try something out of your comfort zone. Especially with Thai food because they use an extensive amount of seasonings and herbs to give their food a unique taste.
