Excellent, inexpensive Mexican food, way off the beaten path in SOUTH South Philly. It's small, but mighty. We had the birrias tacos, and they were great, and their guacamole was also very good. They also offer reasonably priced (and delicious) margarita set ups, if you bring your own tequila. The place is a hidden gem.

The restaurant itself is very small and simple. I had to poke my head into the kitchen to get the server's attention and we were given worn paper takeout menus to order from. But our server was very nice, the food arrived pretty quickly, and most importantly, the food was absolutely incredible. I'd never had arepas before and now I'm kind of worried that if I order them from a different restaurant they'll be a letdown because of how addictively delicious these were. I was surprised by how generous the portions were, especially with how much steak filling is given for just $13. I'm not a local but I'd come back to Philly just to eat here again.

"Great experience and great food! Top shelf drinks. Definitely worth the money. Service was outstanding from the hostess to the waiters. They were also kind enough to accommodate my request of moving my reservation back when I was running late. I really appreciated that!"

"We were there celebrating two birthdays. Our server Faith was wonderful. She was attentive without being intrusive and knowledgeable about the menu. We were a table of 6 and ordered quite a bit of food, some of which was great and others lackluster. The bao buns were great and the small calamari salad was huge and those who had it said delicious. The spareribs were good as well as the edamame dumplings, although the way those were served made it hard to fully enjoy. Each dumpling should be on a individual type spoon so you can enjoy the soup part as well as the dumpling. The way they were served in one large bowl with only one spoon made it so the soup part is left at the bottom. I did request extra spoons from the expediter but they never came. The worst part of our appetizer course was somehow an item was switched to another in the computer and served to us. It had shellfish in it and that wasn’t known when someone at our table who doesn’t eat shellfish ate it. The sashimi was good but the tuna tartare thing was really bad. The entrees we had were the duck, which I was told was delicious, the miso cod, which was fishy, the whole fish which was tasteless, the lobster fried rice, which was okay but lacking flavor. The best dish was the black pepper beef, it was delicious and elegantly served. We had all the sides and all were quite good especially the eggplant and the wasabi mashed potatoes. It was a nice evening but it felt a little stale for a Starr restaurant."

"The whole experience was wonderful. The staff is so beautiful and pleasant. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the chicken mile and it was spicy. My husband had a lobster court and he torn it. My husband also had an old fashion and said it was the best he ever had. Definitely recommend."

"Talula’s Garden is my new favorite restaurant! I have lived in the city for 35 years. Each entree we ordered was super excellent. The seasonings raised the bar in the flavor department. Attention to detail did not go unnoticed. The drink specials were amazing too. We will make this our preferred destination in the future."

"tldr: amazing at always step the complete glowing review: the restaurant itself was very beautiful. the lighting was a perfect balance between dim and still in the position to read the menu. the decorative lights were so beautiful. there were also the most cosiest stands in which I was ever, they are surrounded by curtains and feel so private and comfortable. the corners have kissen and once I was stuffed at the end of the meal I was grateful to lean on them. the personal was wonderful. they let our table see the fish and bring them. they have great suggestions and know the menu well. that should die. the appetizers, sides and main dishes were delicious and perfectly cooked. No one on our table of six had a crumbling left on their teller. we had vegetarian dishes, fish, huh, brote, it was all wonderful."
