Editorial Review for Copabanana – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
Casual joint with neon lighting and wooden tables serves inexpensive fare to 20- and 30-somethings in one of Philly's hippest neighborhoods. The restaurant-bar features salads, Mexican pizzas and platters. They also offer a huge selection of burger combinations-- beef, tuna steak, veggie or vegan-- it's difficult to decide whether you want chutney, goat cheese, fried onions or just a big pickle to top your patty. But the margaritas, large and potent are obligatory here.

My husband and I went to Copabanana on South Street in Philadelphia today, Sunday June 22, 2008 and each ordered a burger. My husband ordered french fries with his burger. The fries were covered in grilled onions and peppers. We each had one bite of his fries and my huband found a cond0m in the fries. We were horrified and disgusted. He called the waiter over who was equally appauled and exclaimed 'I can't work here anymore'. We immediately left and went to Walgreens to buy mouthwash and were completely sickened and horrified. Pleast help us spread the word.

Pros: none

Cons: disgusting

I went to south streets copa in search of a refreshing margariti or 2 or 3 to enjoy while i people watched in the street seating area. with no signs stating that guests must be eating to enjoy this seating area or be more then 1 . I went inside to request a table outside. first no one even bothered to ask if i needed assistance i had to hunt down someone. when I did find her I said I wanted to have margaritis outside. at this time the "rule " should have been mentioned if it said rule actually existed. because if i Had Wanted to SIT at the HOT STUFFY BAR i would been there instead of waitng around for somone to ask for a table. instead I find myself outside infront of other table . told because I wasn't eating that I could n't sit outside. only to notice later on other patrons enjoying drinks only.

Pros: the margaritis are good. expensive!

Cons: good luck finding out information
