"Good, slow-roasted pernil, and what's almost certainly the highest concentration of Puerto Rican flags in Philly—that's Boricua 2 in Port Richmond, the larger sibling of the original Boricua in Northern Liberties. There's plenty of room inside to eat solid Puerto Rican classics like mofongo, beef and chicken turnovers, and pollo guisado. And while you're hanging out, you'll probably hear laughter from the kitchen and see the staff ask about the family members of at least four people who walk inside. Order your dish as a platter—that way, it'll come with sides like evenly seasoned beans or thinly sliced plantains." - candis mclean
