Best restaurants near me in Philadelphia, PA

El Vez is always a must do in Philly and NYC, it’s that good! We stick with the Tacos Al Carbon for 2 with the steak, and a side of black beans and rice. Don’t mess with perfection!! We used to do the pitcher of margaritas which is more economical than single glasses- you get about 5 drinks from the pitcher. The problem is that you sometimes end up forcing yourself to drink more lol I know right? They are fairly stirring and let’s just say I drank more than I should have once- and although good I don’t remember part of the night. So now we stuck to individual glasses of margaritas! This time our waitress Kayleigh was excellent! She is one of the best. Every time we have dined in the Philly location we have never had a bad experience!

John our server and Matt our busboy were amazing! Food was incredible as always.

the food is excellent. Very noisy and the ambiance is casual. But we love it there.

We love Estia when we come to Philly to see a show at the Academy of Music. Friendly, efficient servers. Great food and drinks. Clean bathrooms!! 

If you like high-quality meats, Fogo is the place to go. I recently hosted an office holiday party there (in the main dining area). Everyone loved the range of options at the superb salad bar, and the choice of meats (beef, lamb, pork, chicken), and the serving style is a lot of fun. Service was excellent -- there was never an empty water glass or an unmet need. The full service lunch price of $49 pp is worth every penny.
