"Bring some friends to this South Philly Mexican spot any day of the week for dulce de leche french toast, peppery chilaquiles, omelets big enough for three, and the sounds of Luis Miguel blasting through the speakers. The BYOB gets busy on the weekends and is cash-only. (There’s an ATM inside). And, if you have to wait in line, the smell of sizzling peppers and cinnamon mascarpone cream will get you through." - alison kessler, candis mclean
"The brunch menu at Passyunk Square’s El Fuerte De Loreto is a strong bargaining chip if you’re trying to wrangle a few friends you haven’t seen since the Sixers’ season started. The small Mexican restaurant has chilaquiles with ample heat, making them one of our favorites in town. You can also order sweet dulce de leche toast, peppery omelets big enough for three, and zesty huevos rancheros while Mexican pop music plays. No, it doesn’t turn into a dance party, but the food and enthusiastic staff make for an experience exciting enough to convince your friends that there’s life outside of Joel Embiid's health." - candis mclean
