Outstanding food and service. Highly recommend tuna con coco ceviche, caldo santo (halibut), and pasteles de Cordero (lamb).Dietary restrictions: I am on a dairy-free and gluten-free diet, and the server went out of his way to help with ensuring both were accommodated.

Visited Bolo last night on a last minute reservation, we were three and ordered different items to share, small plates full of flavor, loved the pinchos/skewers pork belly and Vieiras, algo love the salmon crudo and mojitos were absolutely delicious, service was kind and wonderful, our server was the sweetest. Love a good Latin fair with taste from the decor to the presentation, would definitely go back!
I had come here on a whim while waiting for doors to open at the comedy club nearby. Hi, sat at the bar and ordered a few drinks and had the Maduros, which were so amazing. They had a perfect balance of sweet and savory, which really hit the spot. The bar staff are so sweet and Patrick really made my experience amazing. his ability to multitask in making drinks and keeping a conversation with guest is what makes me want to come back here all the time.

This was one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I have ever had! The food was great and the service was superb. The chef and staff were wonderful. I was with a friend with a disability who would have had a hard time with the stairs. They literally carried a table and chairs downstairs so our whole party could eat in the bar area! So thoughtful and caring. We had so much fun. The chef said “mi casa es tu casa.” Will definitely go back!
There was so much thought and care put into this restaurant and it shows! The owner was gracious with his time and stopped to speak with us about his inspiration and goals. The food was delicious and plentiful—we shared a hefty number of dishes. The decor was well executed and such an amazing reflection of the owner’s upbringing and culture. I look forward to returning!

This place is such a cute spot, and the food is great. Yes it is a little on the pricy side but it is totally justified. The interior is super cute and they often have live music in the downstairs rum bar which adds to the vibe. The food is really delicious - variations of Latin and PR dishes, with substantial portions. Now that I tried it, this will be one of my fave go to spots for sure. I highly recommend!

Service was absolutely amazing! GREAT happy hour specials! And fun vibe! We had drinks and shared plates and we enjoyed everything!
Everything was delicious, from the appetizers (pan con queso and chicken pastellitos) to the small plates (vaca frita) and the side (an incredible yuca brava)! What a great addition to the Philly restaurant scene.

Every dish a different taste sensation, especially the 4 Ceviches choice. If you enjoy eating food cooked with skill and joy Bolo should be on your list.

Pricey but high quality seafood. We thought the ceviches were unique but some pretty atypical flavors.Nothing on the menu stood out to us specifically but overall a good nice meal.

We loved Bolo! The Puerto Rican focused food was unique and delicious, the cocktails were great, and the service was wonderful. Our favorite part of the meal was when Chef Fuentes came out to the dining room and we were able to ask him some questions about the food while congratulating him on his recent James Beard nomination. We loved everything we ate — bacalitos were super special, panza pincho was melt in your mouth, and the pasteles de Cordero were so tasty!! We will definitely be back with friends next time so we can try more dishes!

Very nice experience! Excellent place for a date. The 1A food in good Dominican haha the very attentive Chef took a moment to go table by table to ask his customers how the food and service was. I loved it and without a doubt I will definitely return.
