Latin Flavor

Map all locations

Though it might be best known for cheesesteaks, hoagies and soft pretzels, Philadelphia continues to emerge as one of the country’s finest culinary destinations. The addition of exceptional restaurants with Spanish and/or Latin American influences like Amada, Alma de Cuba, Cuba Libre, Chifa and *Bar Ferdinand in recent years has further incited the city’s red-hot dining scene.

From trendy hot spots in Old City and Rittenhouse Square to authentic neighborhood storefronts in El Barrio and South Philadelphia, you’ll experience an explosion of flavors at Philadelphia’s popular and lesser known Latin-inspired eateries.

Tapas and tequila reign at this deliciously over-the-top Mexican hot spot

University City

At Distrito, Jose Garces’ two-story Mexican outpost in University City, incredible tapas dishes mingle with a funky (and mostly pink) décor — including the restaurant’s famous Volkswagen Beetle booth — to bring you a thoroughly entertaining night out.
