AMÁ

Amá, from Mexico City-born chef Frankie Ramirez, and partners, is an elevated Mexican restaurant in Philadelphia’s Fishtown/Kensington neighborhood. Located at 101 West Oxford Street, Amá is open seven days a week for dinner and features a full bar program with craft cocktails and a heavy focus on tequila and mezcal. The menu is seasonal, featuring hand-pressed tortillas and 20-plus items inspired by the six main culinary regions of Mexico, which include the Yucatán Peninsula, the Pacific coast, northern Mexico, central Mexico, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Baja region. Most of the menu, which rotates seasonally, is cooked on live fire and intended to be shareable. Appetizers include a variety of tacos, tostadas, crudos, ceviches, and aguachile, and seasonal vegetarian options that will be prepared on a custom eight-foot-long charcoal and wood-fired grill from M&M BBQ Company in Texas, with Ramirez using both charcoal and wood to cook premium proteins and fresh vegetables. House-made desserts will contain nostalgic flavors that virtually transport guests to Mexico.
