Distrito is the Mexican restaurant concept by Jose Garces, the chef behind the acclaimed Philadelphia restaurants Amada, Tinto, Chifa, Village Whiskey & Garces Trading Company and others. Distrito is a high-energy restaurant inspired by the spirited culture and cuisine of Mexico City. The Distrito menu features Chef Garces' fresh interpretations of classic Mexican fare and beverages, including over 65 tequilas and margaritas made with fresh seasonal fruits. A striking decor includes a hot pink and bright green color scheme, a wall constructed from over 600 colorful, campy masks of lucha libre, or "free fight" professional wrestlers, and a booth crafted from a Volkswagen Beetle, a typical Mexico City taxi cab.

Mexican: "Call ahead to reserve the four-person table inside the refurbished VW bug parked just inside the door, or reserve the "secret" karaoke room for a party."
