Las Bugumbilias

As a mexican food fanatic, I've dragged General Tso to the deep dark corners of Philly in search of a good mexican meal. We decided to try to try Las Bugumbilias after seeing it on restaurant.com, so even if the meal was a disappointment, at least it wouldn't empty our pockets. But we weren't disappointed. The food was good. Really good. In fact, this is by far the best mexican food I've had in Philly. And our first trip here just scratched the surface of the delicious food that Las Bugumbilias has to offer.


Homemade Chips and Salsa: The chips were thick and crunchy, not too salty. The two salsas, respectively hot and mild, balanced each other perfectly.



Queso Fundido: General Tso's favorite mexican dish, we were obliged to order it. Every mouthful was gooey and rich in flavor.

Churros (sadly no picture): By far the best part of the meal. These were the fluffiest, tastiest churros I've ever had in my life. They come with 2 sauces. The egg nog sauce has a strong kick of alcohol, and the chocolate sauce is rich and sweet. So good. You have to try the churros in person to appreciate how amazing they are.

We've been back to Las Bugumbilias a bunch of times since we discovered it. Luckily, it is still somewhat unknown, so we can go there on the fly any night. As much as I'd like to keep it that way, this place deserves the credit of being one of the best restaurants in Philly.
