The Best Damn Nachos in Philly | Eater Philly

"Graduate Hospital’s Los Camaradas excels at serving up contemporary Mexican cuisine. The nachos here are a masterclass in flavor, made with queso mixto, black beans, tomato, crema, and pickled jalapeños and red onion. For an even more satisfying dish, add short rib, chorizo, or chicken." - George Banks-Weston

The 18 Best Margaritas In Philadelphia

"Los Camaradas is a Center City spot with good food, lots of Mexican street art, a long bar with TVs, and a few windows that look out on Julian Abele Park. We’d recommend this spot for Happy Hour and eating your way through some tacos after the Sixers lose, but we especially love the margaritas. They're pretty straightforward: classic, spicy, truta, and a frozen flavor that changes daily. There’s a super sweet sourness to them all that will stay on your tongue between bites of quesadillas and carnitas burritos. " - candis mclean

The Essential Restaurants of Graduate Hospital | Eater Philly

"While options for Mexican food in Philadelphia are plentiful, chef Joseph Scull and his wife Theresa Scull opened Los Camaradas to spotlight contemporary takes on this treasured cuisine. Here you can dive into top-notch bites (its nachos and manchego truffle fries are some of the best in the city), fruity margaritas, and an abundance of tequila." - George Banks-Weston

Such an awesome restaurant! The art work was phenomenal. The food and drink were off the charts delicious. The wait staff were so friendly and helpful. Definitely will be returning very soon.

I went here yesterday night for dinner. The service wasn’t ideal. The food came quick but the server wasn’t very polite. We ordered the nachos which tasted amazing and the quesadilla which was good as well. For drinks we got margaritas. They have a very limited drink menu so that was disappointing. Aside from the service, the food came which & was good!

This used to be my absolute favorite local spot but since the pandemic it has gone down hill. The food is great but the service leaves much to be desired, waitress took forever to refill water, when we asked for napkins she also took forever to get them back and the food took a long time to come out. I didn’t want a repeat of my in dinning experience so I ordered door dash pickup but the restaurant was almost an hour past the estimated time, my door dash driver arrived and was told it would be another 20 minutes. I don’t know if they are short staffed or if they just don’t put anything into costumer experience but this place, sadly has a lot left to improve.

This poor review is because of the service. Server seemed bothered to be waiting tables. He also charged us for items we did not purchase. It was taken off the bill, but when I got my credit card receipt, I noticed that he got the tip wrong and charged more than I had authorized. One mistake on the bill is fine, but given the attitude and errors, I believe this was done intentionally. I hope it is not common that the wait staff is allowed to swindle customers. Food is fine but it’s nothing other Mexican restaurants in the area can’t do as well or better. Of course, a call to the restaurant about this went unreturned.

Los Camaradas, nestled in Philadelphia's Graduate Hospital neighborhood, is a culinary gem that offers an authentic taste of Mexico. From the moment you step in, you're greeted by a vibrant ambiance, with decor that transports you straight to the heart of Mexico. The menu boasts an array of dishes that speak to the diversity and richness of Mexican cuisine. Each plate is a celebration of flavors, expertly crafted and beautifully presented. Not to mention, their drink selection is equally commendable. The margaritas, in particular, are a must-try, balancing sweetness, tang, and the perfect kick of tequila. The staff exudes warmth and hospitality, ensuring every guest feels at home. Whether you're seeking a casual evening with friends or a romantic date night, Los Camaradas offers an experience that's both delightful and memorable. If you find yourself in the Graduate Hospital area, don't miss out on this fantastic Mexican-inspired haven.

Me and my friends always enjoy coming here before a night out. The food is amazing and the drinks are worth it! The staff is usually always on the move but provides good service. I recommend the nachos they are delicious!

The food here was really good but the service was some of the worst I’ve had in a while. I came here with a friend to catch up after work and enjoy happy hour. Our server was named Xavier and he didn’t deliver adequate service at all. He took forever to bring things and we asked for napkins and utensils multiple times (he never brought them. I had to ask the busser.) Any time we would ask him for something, he would say “ok” and just walk away before we were even finished talking. We wanted to split the check at the end and I specifically told him not to split it down the middle but to split it by item. Again he said ok without letting me finish, walked away and split the check 50/50 (exactly what I told him not to do). I went back inside to the bar to find him and get it fixed and he said that he was “too busy”. Would never come back and would not recommend this place to anyone.

Was the worst service I ever had! My wife order a margarita, didn’t ask if she wanted sugar or salt rim, we asked for another margarita with a salt rim , the sever brought over a empty glass with a salt rim and poured the half of my wife’s drink into the glass at our table, didn’t take it back to the bar and do it or even top it off??? Had to flag the server down to get a second round of drinks and brought my wife the wrong margarita, she kept it because it to to long for the second round, long story short, the food is very good, but the service is horrible! A Saturday night and you have 2 servers handling the bar and all the tables?? No manager , table rocking back and forth, heat was blowing up from the floor, felt like I was going to pass out! , not one smile on any of the staff! Felt so unwelcomed and totally frustrated!

Terrific corner restaurant for solid Mexican food. On a cool, summer evening, we sat outside for dinner after a long day and appreciated the view of the Julian Abele Park across the street and people watching while enjoying Guacamole Tradicional (house-made tortilla chips were perfectly crisp and seasoned), Nachos (queso mixto, black bean, tomato, crema, pickled jalapeño, pickled red onion) with chorizo--adored the pickled elements, and Short Rib Enchiladas (mole poblano, crema, toasted sesame seeds)--mole had a good depth of flavor. Will definitely be back for more!

This was my first food stop in philly, I was starving after my flight and this place was walking distance from where I was staying. We ordered the house margaritas, they were good but not the best I'd ever had. Our server seemed to be new and didn't have much knowledge of the menu, such as she wasn't sure what salsas came in the salsa trio. The guac was yummy, the salsas (pico, salsa verde, & mango) were, again, good but not the best I ever had. I wanted to order the tequila lime shrimp tacos, but they were out of shrimp. I settled for the carnitas tacos. You get 3 tacos, but I was stuffed after 2. The tacos were a bit plain and could have used a little more pops of flavor.

Small little spot but great menu and selection of beers. We got the nachos which were piled high but didn't get soggy. Chicken was tender and toppings were plentiful. We also got the street corn which I could have ordered again and again. Great flavor!

It's a nice day so I decided to take a walk and stumbled upon Los Camaradas. We ordered from the happy hour menu! Our waiter was super friendly and attentive. Didn't come over to check on us too much but we never had to look for him either. The house margarita was perfect! All of the happy hour tapas that we had were delicious! There are a few seats outside and the inside is small but can be a Great time for a group of friends to visit for happy hour or later at night!

Food is good Service is horrible Been here awhile and got a margarita on the happy hour menu No one has asked me if I want anything else since I sat down almost 2 hours ago I asked for water and another margarita but still haven't received it Servers come and go waiting on tables in front of me and behind me but I am completely IGNORED I'd love another happy hour drink and maybe some food but it ends in 15 minutes And I'm a regular Here at least once a week usually with family and/or friends Don't know that I'll be back I guess even though it's 2024 a woman sitting by herself still gets ignored Either that or it's "good help is hard to find"

Finally made it over to Los Camaradas. The food is great, the staff is very friendly, and the place has a great local restaurant feel located right in the middle of a residential area of grad hospital. We ordered the Pollo Enchiladas and the Chicken Tinga Burrito. Both were plentiful in size and flavorful in taste. The place was packed (inside and outside) for a Tuesday, so I think others in the area feel the same positive vibes for this establishment. I really liked the decor as well. Lots of "day of the dead" type artwork in and around the bar area. We will certainly be back, the next time the Mexican food urge hits us.

Stopped by for a snack yesterday around 4:30pm to get us through to a 7:30pm dinner elsewhere. We sat outdoors since it was still sunny despite the bit of chill in the air. Apparently they do happy hour even on the weekends so shortly after we got there, a few other parties of 2 joined us outside. We ordered the nachos and the happy hour mac n cheese with chorizo. The server (Xavier) asked if we wanted the happy hour nachos or the full size -- HH nachos weren't on the menu but they are a thing! We went with the smaller size. I thought it was nice that he asked considering it probably made the check smaller. My husband ordered a classic margarita and I asked if they could make a non-alcoholic one -- Xavier offered a limeade and I said I'd try it. My husband's margarita arrived first but not my drink. It didn't come until I asked when our food was dropped off -- I think he forgot. Woops. It was tasty and perfect to have with the nachos and it didn't end up on our bill in the end, so no real harm done. The nachos were delicious!! They were loaded with veggies and the jalapenos may have been pickled or something because they weren't super spicy (which was perfect for us). The chorizo mac was more like a hamburger helper -- I am a huge mac n cheese fan and in order to call that dish mac, I'd suggest removing half the meat and amping up the cheese to make it creamier. It wasn't bad, just wasn't "mac" to me. I probably wouldn't order it again unless I knew it had changed. Overall, a solid spot and love that they do happy hour on the weekends! We will definitely come back to try more of the menu.

Went in for an early dinner on a Saturday night and was so excited to realize they do happy hour on the weekends as well! Had a fantastic dragon fruit margarita which was their daily special. I ordered the chicken quesadilla which was one of the best quesadillas I've had. My husband ordered the Baja fish tacos which were also good. We shared the nachos as well which were on happy hour and they were very large for the price. Our waitress was also great and super friendly. Can't believe how good this place is, and so close to us. We'll definitely be back!

Los Camaradas is a great neighborhood spot and has been a reliable go-to for years! But we are SO SAD the frozen margaritas have been taken off the menu. We inquired if they'd be returning for the season and it seems like the answer is no. Please bring them back! They are life changing!

There were four of us--daughter, parents, and grandmother--ages 35 to 88. Each of us had a different margarita (regular, guava, and spicy jalapeño). Each one was so good! Parents shared the nachos with short ribs and sweet plantains; daughter had pulled pork tacos; grandma had fish tacos. Everything was delicious and everyone felt very comfortable no matter their age. Peter, our server, was welcoming and professional and knew the menu well--a real pleasure! The only reason for four rather than five stars is that the restaurant's website refers to their happy hour which it turns out does not exist. Otherwise, great drinks, food, and service. Will certainly return.

Came here on a Sunday night with two of my friends. Surprisingly, this place was pretty busy for a Sunday night! Margaritas are delicious, although not too strong. Ordered 2 and barely felt a buzz. My friend ordered a dragonfruit (or passion fruit??) marg and the flavoring was amazing! Each taco order comes with 3 tacos, which was great because my friends and I ( a party of 3 ) were able to eat 3 different tacos! We ordered chicken, chorizo, and Baja fish. All the tacos were large and filling! The chorizo taco definitely has a kick to it, and the fish in the fish tacos are definitely a decent size. This place is pretty good in terms of the food portions, the service, and the all-around ambiance. It has a chill, fun, bar vibe. Definitely recommend if you're in the area!

Tried Los Camaradas last week for the first time. I was unsure if they took reservations, so I called to ask. My experience on the phone was a bit... strange. I was told they were first come, first serve and decided to ask if there was a wait now. I was told there was not one yet, but that they hoped there would be one soon. As someone with the intention of walking over if there was not a wait, this threw me off a bit. Regardless, I made my way over with 3 friends. We were able to snag the last available table outside. The service was overall a bit slow, but our server was kind and appeared to be handling all of the tables outside so this was not a huge issue for us. After waiting a few minutes we were greeted and received a small paper with a QR code to the regular menu on one side, and a beer list on the other. Our waiter also mentioned that they had three types of margaritas that evening - house, spicy, or frozen strawberry. We ordered a few items to share - nachos with chicken and the guacamole. The guac portion was HUGE. There were not nearly enough chips to consume all of the guac. We did ask for more chips and we were told that would not be a problem, but sadly the chips never came. Our nachos came next, so we were able to put the guac to use. The nachos were delicious, as advertised on the website. I ordered the frozen strawberry margarita and WOW, it was strong. I'm not complaining. It was worth every penny because two were enough for me! When it came time for our actual dinner, I was pretty full from the starters and drinks so I opted to share the carnitas tacos with a friend. YUM! I love good carnitas and these did NOT dissapoint. I will definitely be back again!

I came here for a second time yesterday evening in the setting of introducing one of my favorite colleagues to what is one of my favorite nacho places in the city. It's a slight trek from my location near city hall (don't stalk me) otherwise we would frequent this place much more often. I see that Michelle has been here 12 times, damn girl! Anyways, around happy hour time on a Thursday evening, this place had plenty of seating available. I elected to sit outside because I was still experiencing a chill from the car's AC but immediately regretted it because it was hot and muggy. Oh well. I'm pretty sure everyone else in my party secretly wanted to sit inside and was possibly seething about my choice. Service was really good, the server came over promptly and revisited multiple times, we never had to wait for anything. The happy hour menu was pretty good however we were never EVER planning on getting a smaller portion of nachos under any condition. We did, however, take advantage of the margarita pitcher deal and ordered ourselves 2 of those bad boys. As mentioned, we ordered the nachos. We also went a little wild and COB and I split the vegetable enchiladas, our dining companion ordered pork-something-or-other enchiladas, and THEN we got the corn stuff as well as plantains. The nachos as usual were amazing. Chips are crisp, good chip to topping ratio, and plenty of this delicious white cheese and white sauce that will remain a mystery to the white broad that I am. I ate them like an animal. Our enchilada was also really tasty. The veggies were good and that sauce they pour all over that stuff, mmmm. The corn and plantains were delicious as well, ESPECIALLY the corn. Plantains also had a mysterious white sauce drizzled on top. I am partial to mystery white sauces as it turns out. Anyways this will remain to be one of my faves in Philly for Mexican. No wonder Michelle's been here 12 times.

This restaurant located in Graduate Hospital is a small gem I found walking around the neighborhood. I finally decided to try their menu and was not disappointed. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Happy hour is from 4-6pm. We ordered a classic marg and a frozen one. The frozen was easier for to drink. The classic marg was a bit strong. The nachos were delicious. They were very generous with the chicken and other toppings. Elote was flavored real nicely. It was just a bit messy to eat. And we got Buffalo cauliflower that's not pictured. I thought the sauce was a bit overpowering and the blue cheese didn't really taste like anything. Overall, I am very satisfied and will come back again!

Went here twice recently and had two pretty different experiences. After being unable to get into Loco Pez on dollar taco night (twice) our group of 8 went here instead and it was nice to get in without any wait. The first night, our server was nice but went over an hour without serving our table, which wasn't great. Most of the tacos ordered were good but the Brussel sprouts were burnt and we weren't able to say anything because our server wasn't present. The second night our service was much better and all the food was good! Margaritas there are very tasty but a little pricey and the pitcher isn't much cheaper than individual glasses.

Honestly not worth it at all. Service was lousy and took 40 minutes for 2 apps to arrive at the table. The wings and chorizo mac and cheese both had little to no flavor. The wings were cold upon arrival to the table. A very underwhelming experience overall. It also took 15 minutes after ordering drinks to find out the kitchen/bar did not have any sangria today. Not a good experience at all. Maybe they are short staffed but still feel this place isn't great.

Not necessarily mindblowing food, but very solid and adequate for a quiet neighborhood spot. I love that sweet plantains are offered on the menu -- it isn't something I see too often at Mexican restaurants in this part of the world. Now I don't know if that's authentic or not, I just really love sweet plantains! Tacos and mains were flavorful across the board, though again, nothing super special. Here's a fair warning - the Jalapeño margarita is legitimately hot hot hot! It's yummy but you would have to nurse the drink and try to take lip-less sips the whole time

Los Camaradas is one of the go to spots if you live in the grad hospital area. Staff is friendly, food is pretty consistently good, and the portions sizes are pretty large. I only ever get the short rib nachos, because why would I get anything else? For around $15, you get an absurd amount of nachos (definitely more than enough for 2) packed with beans, meat, cheese and other ingredients, and they are not stingy on the meat. Everything tastes good, and I've only ever had it to go so I'm sure it'll taste even better sitting there. It's a large quantity of great quality food at a reasonable price. What more could you ask for? Overall, definitely worth a try for the nachos if nothing else.

They brought out a nice little surprise for us - chips and salsa. Very good! The pork belly guacamole was good too but I wouldn't have ordered it if I knew free chips and salsa were en route. The tacos here are okay. We ordered the Baja fish, al pastor, and the pork belly. Baja fish tacos were my favorite, the pieces are fish were huge! Al pastor was very standard but served with two tortillas so it felt more authentic. The pork belly was pretty bad. The meat was covered in a sweet glaze that did not compliment the fish or the meal. The pork belly had a lot of fat on it which should have been heated/rendered. I would not recommend the pork belly tacos. Overall good experience less the pork belly tacos

I'm so happy our favorite neighborhood cantina was able to give me a night off from cooking over the weekend. I'd been craving nachos so placing my order for those wasn't even a question. My husband ordered mahi mahi tacos and I ordered the steak tacos. We placed our pick up order through Caviar. Soon after, the restaurant called to let us know they were out of steak, so they ran through the other options and I went with chorizo tacos. Our food was ready pretty quickly and my husband ran over to pick everything up. Everything was absolutely delicious, as usual, and we even had leftovers for the following day. While he was there, my husband saw that they are also offering to-go quarts of their delish margarita mix, so we may have to grab some this week for make-at-home drinks. Wishing the very best for one of my favorite neighborhood businesses during this trying time. If you love nachos (and tacos, and guac, etc.), definitely give Los Camaradas a look for contact free delivery or pick up!

The food here is so good. It's absolutely delicious and I'm looking forward to coming back. I came here for happy hour with other yelpy friends and had a nice time. Los Camaradas is a medium sized restaurant. It seems to be a pretty popular neighborhood spot, cause it was a good amount of people there on a Monday. The happy hour menu provided a variety of options to choose from and we were able to share most of the items on the menu. I tried the pork belly tacos, papas fritas, chicken quesadilla and their delicious nachos. Those nachos was sooo good! I can't wait to come back to have another meeting with them! I liked that the tortilla was thick and crunchy oppose to typical soggy nachos. I kept eating and eating them! No wonder they won the award for the best nachos in Philly. Their margaritas are also good as well. I had the mango and guava. Overall Los Camaradas offers dinner and brunch. It's a great meetup place to chill on your solo or hang with wonderful friends! The food is vibrant, the atmosphere is great. The staff is friendly and attentive. So check out Los Camaradas and thank you Michelle C!

The food is good but I did not appreciate my dining experience at all. The server had a pace of a sloth and forgetful -- I needed to ask for napkin, dishes, fork, boxes at least twice and it took forever. The worst thing was they had no silverware! Not that the plastic utensil are wasteful but it also diminish the eating experience. And their Fire Roast Brussels was burnt and horrendously bitter on the level that I wanted to throw up. Never again that I revisit this place.

AHHHHHHH, I hate to be this person... but I'm docking a star because I found this place over a popular IG post that showed the Crab Benedict... and then came into the city and got an Uber to come here and eat said Crab Benedict... and then I happily ordered the Crab Benedict... and then my dreams were crushed because they were out of crab. On a Saturday. At 1:30. Atmosphere: Kinda on a beaten path in Philly, and a little out of your way if you're around to do touristy things. BUT that's exactly how I like my restaurants. The inside decor is super cool with sugar skulls and an old tavern feel. Service: Attentive, and was on her A-game refilling water! Food: YUM. YYYUUUMMMMM!!! I did order the crab benedict that they substituted with shrimp and although I was disappointed about the crab running out, this meal was FANTASTIC. Like wow. The biscuit really made the whole meal. Buttery, thick goodness. My husband had the huevos rancheros and he cleared his bowl! He said it had a kick and loved it. Also appreciated the complimentary chips & salsa. So, I hope to be back soon to try the dish WITH the crab. And then five stars is well deserved!

It's not too difficult to appease me when it comes to Mexican food. Okay, that's a lie, it takes a bit, but I think my summer dinner date to Los Camaradas did at least some of that. My boyfriend and I stopped by after work, conveniently catching the end of happy hour. He grabbed a drink or two and we ordered some pulled pork tacos. Despite them being happy hour sized and needing a dash of salt, they were actually pretty good. For the entree, I ordered Enchiladas Verdes and he got the Pescado a la Veracruzana. He had some minor complaints about the fish flavors, mostly the lack of it, but my enchiladas were okay. I feel like it's hard to mess up chicken and cheese in a tortilla smothered in sauce. Our dessert was this cute tiny chocolate mousse that was...a bit hard to be a mousse but it was still pretty good!

Still a solid Mexican spot, all these years later. We've been ordering from them often for Saturday date nights in and everything hits the spot. Fav current order: two Los Camaradas salads with the addition of steak, a shortrib nacho to split, and two frozen peach margaritas. The salad is very filling with juicy bits of hearts of palm, crunchy tortilla strips, and an addicting garlic dressing. Plus, the steak is always seasoned so well. Nachos are, as always, MASSIVE - they really hook you up with toppings and days' worth of short rib (we usually box half for lunch the next day). Recently, we also tried the special birria tacos, which were deep fried, melty, cheesy goodness with a fantastic salsa and au jus. But the best part is washing all that down with their PERFECT, refreshing, not-too-sweet, wonderfully tart frozen margaritas. The peach was amazing, but recently we had the strawberry which was also great. Staff is always friendly on the phone and greets you with a smile at the takeout window. Will continue to order from here!

I basically get one thing here, the short rib nachos. They are just the best thing after a long day and there's always left over nachos for me to eat the next day. I usually get take out, and it's best to call ahead of time because they'll have it ready in the time they promise and it's just quicker overall. I've eaten inside once and gotten a mango margarita as well. It was a standard margarita, I wish it could've been a little stronger though. Otherwise the staff is always so friendly and nice. I would definitely recommend this place if you're close by!

Our friends and I came here last night and loved everything we got! We got the mariscos enchiladas - SO. GOOD. I absolutely loved the red pepper sauce it's covered in - so rich and creamy! The nachos are literally the best nachos I've ever had; you will NOT be disappointed. We also got the elite guac, mahi mahi tacos and the short rib tacos - all of which were also really good! The nachos and marsicos enchiladas are really what blew me away though. Knocked off one star because we ordered a pitcher of the peach margarita and it was hands down the worst margarita I've ever had. We expressed we didn't like it to the waiter too and he saw we didn't drink more than a sip or two since all our glasses were full and he didn't do anything about it. Oh well ‍

We wanted a place close to the Christian St Y and to nearby friends. Los Camardas was suggested... yes! On a hot, muggy night all you really want is a cool refreshing cocktail. The special blackberry margarita was exactly what the doctor ordered. Coupled with the short rib enchiladas. Perfect. The service was prompt for a busy Wednesday night, but nobody came back to check on us. I definitely could have gone for another margarita...alas it was not to be. Our food came and we devoured it. But I even had enough to take home for lunch. I'm dreaming about those margaritas right now...

4.0/5 These quesadillas were pretty tasty -- I'm a sucker for the cheese -- and I enjoyed the array of toppings for them. The chicken in the quesadilla was pretty juicy also.

Came with a friend for dinner. Inside was empty, outside had maybe 2-4 other tables. We sat ourselves, took a whole for a server to come greet us. After being given water we waited again to place our order. After 25 mins I still had not received my drink. I reminded the server and was given my drink. After 45 mins we still didn't even have our appetizer. We decided to leave. I went inside to pay for my drink. Server asked why I didn't want my food. I explained to him that we had waited long enough. Server did not even offer an apology.

This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the city! For starters they serve fresh and authentic Mexican Food. I have yet to eat there, but I have been ordering their takeout menu, and everything is hot and fresh when it arrives. When you start your order, you need to start with their nachos, and you have to order them with short rib on top They are AMAZING! I mean they do have award winning nachos not to brag but they live up to the hype. I order their chicken tacos and they were amazing and very filling. You got three orders of tacos and they loaded with fresh ingredients. If you are like me and have a gluten allergy, they have many gluten free dishes. Mostly all their tacos are on corn tortillas unless they tell you. Their nachos are gluten free as well. If you are in the city, looking for great Mexican food, you need to go here. Even if you cannot go there physically, you can still support them by ordering takeout. You can even order right on Yelp! Trust me, once you take your first bite of their food, there is no going back.

I was invited to hang out with fellow Yelp Elite during happy hour. Boy am I glad not only did we have a good time together we all enjoyed the food. The Pork Belly Tacos are so awesome I can't explain you just have to stop in and try them for yourself. Along with the Papas Fritas which are THE BEST EVER!! Another highlight were the Cucumber Margaritas, yummy!! We dinned on several appetizers the fish tacos are another standout item. Truly you can't go wrong with anything. My fellow Yelpers raved about the nachos I didn't get to those but they looked enticing. This is a nice restaurant/bar to hang out with friends or meet new places ones.

Although they are known for their nachos (which are very good) I highly recommend the Mahi tacos. The fish tastes very fresh, and the flavors are bright and vernal. I only drink beer, but my girlfriend love the cucumber margarita. The beer selection usually has 2 IPAs whichh is. what I drink. I cant really recall whatelse is on there. We have only been to Los Camaradas on THursday nights, due to my schedule-and sometimes if can be tough to find a bar seat if it's during happy hour. They usually have something entertaining and non-bro-y on the TV. In terms of service, the bartender is a great, have had good conversations w him and always get our drinks really quickly. The waitstaff seems cool, too, but we haven't gotten a table so I can't vouch for the service.

It's hard think of anything bad to say about Los Camaradas! I want to start by saying our server the night I came was so nice and welcoming! I wish I could remember her name but she really made the experience very enjoyable. The nachos are a must try here, one of the best I've had. There's a good amount of toppings and the chips do not get soggy. It's a great dish to share with a group of friends. In addition to the nachos I got the chicken quesadilla. It was very flavorful, crispy on the outside, and really had a good amount of filling. Overall, just a really good spot with great service and nachos!

I'm always searching for great Mexican food and wanted to give this grad hospital restaurant a shot. I've been a couple times now before writing a review, and in all honesty, I dig the vibe here much more than the food itself. I love the cute outdoor seating considering the neighborhood is pretty quiet. This is definitely a relaxing spot to catch up with a friend and enjoy margs outside. The food itself is fine. Bonus is you receive complimentary chips and salsa. I was so excited after seeing the variety of tacos on the menu, and I'm bummed things didn't totally come together. I had some veggie tacos with lemon cream sauce. The portioning was a little off in that there were a few pieces of mushrooms but the tacos were largely overwhelmed with crispy brussel sprouts (super tasty by the way), but it made the tacos dry. My friend joked they just looked like mini forests. Maybe they ran out of other veggies in the kitchen? I was also able to try my friend's fish tacos - im always down for a fried fish taco with pickled cabbage. But the fish was overcooked making it tough and also dry. I have to give this place A for effort and for what they're going for. Unfortunately things just aren't prepared well.

BEST. NACHOS. EVER! Los Camaradas Short Rib nachos are my all time favorite meal - especially with a side of their Masa Fries with the insanely delicious chipotle aioli! I have ordered delivery many times throughout this year and they are always spot on! I have tried nachos at pretty much every restaurant in the city and these are by far the most incredible (my friends refer to me as the nacho queen !)

I've been to this place a few times and it's pretty solid. The first time my wife and I had dinner with some friends and enjoyed the outdoor seating. It's a nice neighborhood with a cool park across the street, check that out after your meal. I got the chorizo tacos and they were good but not great. Everyone in our group seemed to be happy with their food. I came back with a friend the other night for drinks and apps, it was a great choice. We tried out a few other South Philly spots but they were a little.... Hood... This place was more our style. We sat inside and it's a chill environment and easy to have a conversation. They also have tv's around the room so we got to watch the game. #TrustTheProcess They offer free chips and salsa so take full advantage of that because it's good! The bartender and staff were really friendly and joined in our conversation. Overall a nice spot, have fun checking it out. :-)

I went to visit my friend who lives in the neighborhood and originally we were going to eat pho but since I'm a pescetarian, after looking at the menu we realized we needed a new plan. She has a dog and she asked if I would want to try Los Camaradas because we could sit outside. We had been at this location back in the day when it was Turkish restaurant ( which was one of the reasons I joined yelp back in 2009!!!) so we wanted to see what the newest incarnation of the location was. I was happy to see that the menu did have some vegetarian options. My friend got the happy hour order of fish tacos and I got the vegetarian enchiladas and we basically split our entrees so we had a little of each. The food was delicious and filling and the portions, even for happy hour portions were great. For dessert we split tres leche cake and flan. OMG, both were DELICIOUS. Seriously, the food was so good here. Also, I love how when we sat outside the server brought over a bowl for the dog and always made sure that not only were we hydrated, but also the dog as well.

Los Camaradas is one of very few places to eat, hang out and sit outside for dinner/drinks in Grad Hospital. The happy hour is legit and offers a variety of taco selections (BBQ short rib tacos are by far the best they have). They also have brunch, which is a huge plus with a surprisingly large selection of food. The food is okay, nothing to write home about - however, the margs are delicious! The staff is very friendly and the bartenders were very knowledgeable about the tequila. They also have a pretty great beer and wine selection. In the summer they have really great fruity sours, which can be hard to find like the Liliko'i Kepolo by Avery brewing company. Overall, Los Camaradas is nice local spot for drinks, HH and brunch. It's also a great place to sit and have drinks outside with your pup in the summer. They always bring my puppy Mimi a bowl of water without me asking.

So I can't even count how many times we've been here in the last two years. Always always a great time with creative food, rotating craft beers and the nicest owners in town. Last week was Pizza Boy tap taker and I think we had the best pairing meal ever. Four great beers (not a fan of the stout but I tried it) and the four special Tacos were off the chain fantastic. We can never go in without getting their famous nachos. Still can't believe the happy hour price for $6 bucks. Pork shoulder with orange and the charred heirloom carrots & feta were unreal. Always something fun to try here. So much better than El Vez and in a great neighborhood. Outdoor seating is nice. We love this place.

I went for brunch with two friends, I got the Pork Belly Avocado BLT, one friend got the Juevos Rancheros, and the other got the Carnitas Tacos. The server who was charming and attentive, recommended the BLT and said that it was a huge sandwich. She did not lie the proportions were generous. The Sandwich was delicious for the most part, I do wish there was a touch less butter on the bread that they toasted before constructing the sandwich though. I tasted the Juevos Rancheros and it's was overall an enjoyable bite, also very generous portions for what we were paying for. I was impressed with the quality of the tostada's crispy texture under all that chilly. The egg was a tad overcooked but nowhere near the point of taking away from the overall enjoyment of the dish. I did not get a chance to try the Tacos, however I plan on coming back to try them another day. I wish I could give 4.5 stars.

I've heard this place has an excellent happy hour but at the time of my last visit that was still on pause due to covid. The service was excellent but I would say the food doesn't quite compete with some of the other Mexican restaurants in the area

This place was A-OK. It was a little on the pricey side for what you get. Also we walked in at 2:20 pm ish on a Sunday and they still weren't serving lunch - only the brunch menu was available. We asked about this a few times and the waiter kept saying that "it's almost the same" even though when we finally got the menu, it wasn't. The complimentary chips and salsa were pretty bland and the salsa watery but hey it's free so that's a perk! Despite being mostly empty I had to ask for water refills but the staff was really friendly. Would be willing to eat here again as the fish tacos were yummy and I heard the brussel sprout veggie tacos were amazing, but didn't love my overall experience, esp since I paid almost $15 with tax and tip for 3 tiny tacos.

Mediocre at best and would not return. Service was friendly and attentive. Guacamole - we had the special with watermelon, balsamic, and goat cheese. It was surprisingly good and probably the best part of the meal. The free chips and salsa - chips were great. The salsa was...not sure, some sort of Mexican marinara sauce? Empanadas were bland and very oily. Mahi mahi tacos were okay. I liked the mango part of it. The fish was just okay, a bit overcooked and not much of it. Al pastor taco was bland and dry. Food was not that great. Service was good. The restaurant itself was really warm and muggy. Granted there was a heat wave, but it was uncomfortable and it was actually nicer outside. Overall, I would not return.

Alright y'all, hold on because this is going to be a wild ride. I literally had to sleep on it before I decided to review the edible magic that was delivered to my door. Just another Tuesday night trying to decide what we wanted to do for dinner. Should we go out? Should we stay in? What kind of food? We were lost. As I'm scrolling I see my partner fixating on a menu. "Los Camaradas" it said. Alright, cool, new Mexican spot, "what they got?" I sighed. "Well they have a lot of random things but they have those esquites you always talk about" they responded. "Oh word?!" I exclaimed. I was ready. Let me tell you, it took me a solid 10 minutes to make my entree choice (I'd already gotten two orders of esquites and a tres leches, priorities y'all.). Then after checking yelp for some food pics we both realized we NEEDED to change our orders. A taco with Brussels sprouts? How did we miss it the first time... NOW MIND YOU.... the food was ordered through delivery, it had to travel, it needed to be boxed and sealed and all that jazz that can make or break a meal. A few minutes in the wrong container and your food is a warm, squishy mess. MY FOOD CAME HOT AND CRISPY. Maybe I lucked out with the logistics of my delivery, but you got me a plastic container of sweet plantains and they were still holding their natural crispness from cooking. The Mexican rice wasn't in an unnatural, container-shaped clump, it was hot, that perfect "al-dente" and even had some corn in it giving it perfect hints of moisture and sweetness. The vegetarian tacos with Brussels sprouts and mushrooms was so delicious. I HATE mushrooms and I had to steal a few bites here and there. I ordered the chicken quesadilla listed as simply "pollo" on the app. The flavors within this soft, half moon, tortilla were just about the best thing I've eaten this year. There's a strong familiarity in the flavor that reminds me of something that I just can't put my finger on, and I'm ok with that. I honestly was worried our neighbors would be trying to figure out why they were hearing us swearing so often, every bite we did it, only out of pure and utter happiness. It was primal. The way the food was prepared and delivered, we're headed to try dining in house. I honestly felt like I had just been served from the kitchen. This place is a MUST TRY. Seriously. I've never felt this strongly about a damn restaurant in my life. Can't wait to enjoy again!
