The Best Restaurants In North Philly - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Although it’s one of the top Puerto Rican spots in the city, there’s never a wait at Freddy & Tony’s in Fairhill. This means you’ll feel like you're the guest of honor when you come in for an order of crispy chicken pastelillos or beef stew, white rice, and beans. You can always count on this place for excellent pernil that’s well-seasoned so it has a salty, sweet pop to each bite—it's even better as a sandwich on a long, toasty roll. You’ll encounter families who’ve been here three times this week and friends pulling out rum for piña coladas (it’s BYOB) while they wait for a roasted chicken platter to share." - candis mclean
