"Despite the name, Amy’s Pastelillos in Fishtown isn’t all about the deep-fried meat pies. Everything the Puerto Rican shop makes is pretty great. From the excellent sides like pickled yuca to the various bowls (go for the Vegano) and loaded sweet and spicy tostones nachos, it’s all going to make you feel like you’ve been doing this meal thing all wrong. Of course, all of the pastelillos are fantastic, but it’s the sweet chopped guava pork that has us lining up. They're only open from 11am to 3pm, Wednesday to Saturday, so plan ahead to leave with something you’ll be talking about tomorrow. " - candis mclean
