If you've got Puerto Rican on the mind, a recent opening is need-to-know. The fresh arrival to University City, called Papi's Puerto Rican Cuisine, is located at 440 E. McCullough Drive, #123.
To start, try the fried pork belly (chicharron) here. Then look for Chef Tara's Pastelon among the specialties. The beef and cheese pie comes with plantains. Take a gander at the full menu here.
With a 2.5-star rating out of five reviews on Yelp so far, the newcomer has gotten off to an uneven start.
R D., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on June 26, wrote, "The beef empanadas are so good here! Everything was fresh and hot, and the food came fast."
