We’re counting down until the opening of Kokopelli Restaurant & Tequila Bar right after Thanksgiving at 1904 Chestnut Street in Philly. If you want to know the exact date, sign up for Kokopelli’s Facebook page and stay tuned.

Chef Gina Rodriguez has fine tuned the  Southwestern style small plates menu with dishes that sound yummy. Personally, we can’t wait to try the mussels in red chili tomato broth with sun dried tomato grilled vabatta or the wild mushroom tamale with caramelized onion and green chili sauce . And of course the bison sliders with manchego cheese, a spicy pickle and and shallot rings sound oh so good.  If you love to be the first to check out new restaurants, keep in touch. With more than 50 tequilas at the bar and an array of specialty cocktails, Kokopelli is sure to sizzle.
