"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 pickled yuca to the various bowls (go for the Vegano) or loaded sweet and spicy tostones nachos, it’s all going to make you feel like you’ve been doing this lunch thing all wrong. Of course, all of the pastelillos are fantastic, but it’s the sweet and tender guava pork that has Philly lining up. They're only open from 11am to 3pm, Wednesday to Saturday, so plan ahead to leave with something you’ll still be talking about tomorrow. " - candis mclean, alison kessler
