Located in Philadelphia’s Rittenhouse Square, Bar Bombon is a plant-based paradise sure to satisfy any lover of Latin American food. The owner, Nicole Marquis owns multiple vegan eateries around the city, including the fast-food chain HipCityVeg. She decided to open Bar Bombon in honor of her Puerto Rican heritage, putting meat-free, dairy-free spins on all of the classic recipes her Abuela used to make. It’s also a mezcal bar with cocktails, including margaritas, made with some top-shelf brands. If you’re ever in the area, be sure to check it out, and definitely don’t skip on these signature dishes:

Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos

Run, don’t walk to try these tacos. Crispy fried cauliflower sits on a bed of black beans and veggies all wrapped up in a soft and warm tortilla. They’re the perfect amount of spicy, perfectly balanced by some rich and creamy avocado.

Spanish Meatballs

Plant-based meatballs swim in a pool of romesco sauce served in a cute little cast iron skillet. They’re dusted with fresh herbs and served with a side of grilled bread to soak up all the sauce—and believe us, you’ll want to.

Latin Chop

A classic chopped salad with a Latin twist from grilled corn, tortilla strips, and cilantro dressing. Take it to the next level and add chorizo-spiced “meat.”
