Los Comaradas
This romantic, exquisite and unbelievably delicious spot is South Philly’s best-kept secret.

From their refreshing flavored margaritas to their unique meal selections like their BBQ pork belly guacamole (yes you read that right) every dish is a hit and you will not be disappointed. As a delicious bonus, Los Comaradas brunch is top notch as well, with plenty of savory and sweet dishes to knock your socks off including tres leches french toast and avocado and black bean eggs benedict. Plus, if you’re a Bloody Mary (or Maria) fan you will be more than pleased.
