Easily some of the best Puerto Rican food I ever had outside of the island. The staff is incredible - super amiable to my request for a meat-free mofongo. The rice and beans were so good. I have no clue what the difference maker was but they stood out! My family loved the whole chicken. I would easily go back. read more

Awesome food, one of the best in philly. Cooked perfectly and great people. Everything looks clean including the bathroom. read more

I think this was the best PR restaurant I ever been in. The food, services and setting was the best. The total was about $50 and the portions they give could feed a whole family. It was my bf and I eating and we couldn't finish the food so we had to take it home. The setting was so creative (art displayed) and clean. Our waitress was very attentive. Highly recommend if you're visiting Philly. read more

Had food catered, rice was hard and crunchy, not sure if it wasn't cooked long enough or old and dry. Chicken was funky, smelled like fish, garbage smelling the next day. I don't recommend, you can get sick. I see other reviews mentioning their food isn't fresh. They should be ashamed, people spending their money on old food. read more

Went to F&T and was somewhat underwhelmed. One thing that was undeniably delicious and flavorful was the pasteles de guineo. Hands down one of the best I've ever had. The rice's flavor was pretty good too considering it wasn't the typical short grain PR rice. This was the reason for my 3 stars. The pernil on the other hand was subpar. The cuerito was soft and the pork was dry and stringy. I was looking forward to this..smh. The alcapurrias de yucca were good according to my foodie mates. The empanadas/pastelillos were not fresh and although the dough seemed homemade, it was cold and hard. Everything else was just ok. On a positive note, the staff was very nice and accommodating but appeared overwhelmed. I came in on a whim from New Jersey so I had to bring my dog before his groomer appt and they allowed me to keep him there while we dined. read more

The baked chicken is outstanding. It's moist, delicious and packed full of flavor. The rice and beans is good and the potato ball with meat is good as well. Service was quick and the lady behind the counter was patient and very polite which is good because the entire menu is in Spanish. I've only gotten takeout and the ordering area is kind of small and I can see it getting crowded fast. My only negative is the side of gravy I received wasn't gravy at all more like a side of I don't even know what. Very disappointing. read more

Freddy & Tony's Restaurant - This was supposed to be my side of gravy. - Spanish Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I've been going to Freddy and Tony's for many years and it never disappoints! We had enough food for 7 people and made another meal for four with the leftovers for about $75 The whole roasted chicken had a nicely browned skin, was juicy and flavorful. The pork was amazing! So flavorful and moist with both white and dark meat. The flavor is sooo good! The yellow rice and beans were yummy. The meal also came with tostones. We added 12 chicken pastilles too. We reheated both because they were a little soggy from time traveling. They reheated nicely. They got a little crispy without drying out. I would highly recommend for good Puerto Rican food! read more

Freddy & Tony's Restaurant - Pork shoulder, Yellow Rice, Beans & 1/2 Roasted Chicken - Spanish Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

On a busy night I decided to stop here to take food home for dinner. I didn't care what time of day it was because I assumed the food here was going to be great. I say this because when I got home I was very disappointed with what was in the bag. I ordered two roast pork platters with rice and beans along with a side of ripe plantains. I also ordered the rotisserie chicken with rice and beans and a side of plantains and one Alcapurria. To Make a long story short just check your order before leaving. Don't drive all the way home to find your food is sub par. read more

The service isn't the greatest but I didn't come here for that nor did I expect it to be. The food on the other hand was excellent. Their pastelillos and pork shoulder combo was really worth it! read more

First time eating authentic Puerto Rican food since moving to Philly and it did the trick. I ordered for a group of 6 and we got Enough food to feed like 10. I am grateful that they were able to take such a big order about 30 mins before closing but they took care of me. The food was very good, the people in there were nice and were up front about things that they were out of stock since it was so late. Rellenos de papa, arroz con gandules, mofongo, carne guisada, alcapurrias, all delicious. Definitely recommend this place as prices are good and support local business! read more

Food is a bit bland but they have great appetizers. THEY ARE SKIMPY WITH THE FOOD (Take out platters ) that's why they don't allow u to eat or open ur platter in the restaurant because they know people will complain . I ordered a steak platter that was $14 and I only received 2 small pieces of steak full with onions . And I scoop of rice which is insane . They also refry te appetizers if they don't sell the day before . read more

I have been eating excellent Puerto Rican food since before I knew it was Puerto Rican food! So working so close to Freddy & Tony's I had a TON of people recommend them, including my hubby who grew up eating here. We came on a Sunday when there was a line nearly out the door, but thankfully we were able to score a table on the air conditioned side of the the restaurant (go all the way back). Also be aware that parking stinks in the area. I always go with the classics, so we ordered Pernil (roast pork), arroz con ganules (rice with pigeon peas), maduros (sweet plantains) and mofongo (mashed up green plantains). The rice was excellent and HUGE portion, actually all the portions were generous and inexpensive. The pork was EXTREMELY dry. The skin was not crunchy, nor soft, just rubbery. The mofongo is some of the worst I have ever had, extremely dry, no garlic sauce, and just no love. My husband also ordered a tamarind juice, which came out in a Goya can! There was no mention that the juices were canned, maybe it's just because most of the Spanish restaurants I've eaten at make their own juices fresh, I found this to be completely odd. Also, I didn't look at the price, but that should've tipped me off since it was like $1.50 and not $3 like fresh juices at other places. Our waitress was also not attentive at all, and I guess we came during a break time because a group of about 5 other waitresses were just hangning out chatting in the back while many people waited for service. Overall, I was not impressed with the place, I don't think I would return especially with so many other options that are just as affordable and nearby. The main reason I will give the place 2 stars versus one is bc the rice was great, and the prices were very cheap. read more

Freddy & Tony's Restaurant - Puerto Rican dinner - Spanish Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Visited Philly this weekend and was really feeling some Rice and beans. After extensive search finally I was able to find this restaurant. Mind you I am very leery about Puerto Rican food because most of them can't live up to what you get at home; I decided to give this a shot. The food was very good. It was very difficult to find street parking but it was easy to see why, there was a steady supply of customers coming in to get takeout and to sit in. We were lucky to be able to get a table when we arrived. The food was really good and tasty. I ordered the white rice & beans with carne frita and tostones. My girlfriend had the mofongo. We both loved our meals. Not only was the food extremely good but the prices were ridiculously good. The value plus the taste makes this restaurant a must. If you love Puerto Rican food you will definitely love this place. read more

Okay so I'm totally gonna be honest. I come from a city where Dominican and Puerto Rican food is on every single corner but when I came to Philadelphia it really lacked authentic Hispanic food and I was just really disappointed BUT THEN I found Freddy & Tony's Restaurant and they deliver when it comes to tasty and filling meals. For those who are afraid of the "hood" you may want to opt for delivery as this is a bit of a rough neighborhood but idc nothings gonna hold me back from good cuisine. So I will give pros and cons to make this quick & easy if a review Pros: extensive menu, really good food, really cheap prices, large portions (lasted me three meals). Cons: street parking (which can be a hassle to find a spot during certain times of the day), cash only (most of the time, I still don't know what the deal is with that), a bit of a language barrier but for the most part of always had someone who was able to help me. It's your local "hood" spot. I'm not looking for a 5 star fancy experience when coming here but it definitely is comfortable feels family oriented and authentic and just does the trick for me. I will keep coming back! read more

Pernil: very good and juicy. Perfect flavor and seasoning. Roast chicken: also tender and juicy, great flavor. Arroz con gandules: very good, has some chopped olives. Highly recommended. read more

The area itself isn't that great & finding parking at times can be a challenge.. I was craving Freddy & Tony's last time I was there the food was awesome. This time around I was disappointed. The relleno de papa has less then a tsp of ground beef in mine & MAYBE 2 tsp in my husbands. The gravy was okay.. my pastelillo she'll was too doughy for my liking but the filling was a good amount of beef. It's just not the same but then again are many places are?! read more

Good food horrible service. Gave me the wrong order, overcharged and refused to reasonably compensate. The servers response: "My bad". Return it in it's totality and we will replace it". I came from a 1/2 hour away, that's an hour travel time! Just no respect or courtesy. read more

I tried this restaurant as part of an impromptu work luncheon. I'm not familiar with the neighborhood but felt very welcomed. The server explained the menu and made appropriate suggestions for our group. Everything was delicious. We did family style. Everyone loved the whole chicken, pork, rice and peas, plaintains!!! The appetizers were delicious but I'm not clear what they were - not a lot of explanation. I love finding restaurants with authentic food from all cultures. This one is on my list if I'm ever in the area again. read more

Worked up the street from here one Tuesday afternoon! What an amazing spot! I love how much the Puertorican Culture is present- this place is super legit. I have many boriqua friends and even they love this spot. It's where the puertoricans go to eat puertorican - that's a good indication of legitimacy. I split the pernil (pork) and the arroz con habichuelas (rice and beans) and the plátanos maduros (sweet plantains). We also ordered one alcapurria guineo (like a cheese steak egg roll Puerto Rican style with fried savory banana as the dough). Service was friendly and respectful. And the prices are really fair. I loved seeing the empanada line as we walked in! So cool to see the magic behind the food. Will be back! read more

This place is super busy and there's a good reason why - the food is authentic and delicious! The menu is extensive and you absolutely must get the rice and beans (yellow rice). We also got an order of tostones and they did not disappoint. The cubano sandwich was outstanding - the amount of pork on this thing is ridiculous. My husband got the mofongo which was good, but not as good as his dad's. The staff was friendly and yes, they speak Spanish, but also English. The atmosphere reminded me of a diner in the 80's, but with Spanish flair. If you enjoy authentic Puerto Rican cuisine, this is your place. read more

If you're not Puerto Rican or don't speak Spanish the service is trash. $12 for just rice and a table spoon of beans. TRASH BUSINESS!!

Today I placed an order for delivery. I ordered a couple of accapurias and a whole baked chicken. I could not believe my eyes, the accapurias were hard, burnt and dried. And the chicken, also was hard, burnt and dried. I can't believe they actually sent me old, burnt, hard and dried out food. That shouldn't be allowed. Absolutely horrible, not to mention the time I had to wait and the cost for delivery charges. Definitely not worth it. Horrible, very poor service and food. I hope this review will move them to operate with integrity and sell fresh quality food and not rip off their customers.. read more

I used to be a frequent customer many years ago when I lived in or visited Phill, the food and service was excellent. Now? Not so much at all. The food now tastes like it sat around for weeks! It was so bad that I almost felt guilty letting my dog eat it. Further, they barely want to speak ENGLISH. Very disappointed and will never return. read more

I can't believe it took me almost eight months of living in the area to find an authentic Puerto Rican restaurant, but it happened. WEPA!! I came here with two friends (who had never tried real PR food) and we ordered more than we could possibly ever eat, all family-style: Tostones, Pasteles, Arroz con Habichuelas, Bistec Encebollado, Alcapurrias, and Flan! It tasted exactly like the dishes my mother makes regularly. I refused to leave until we had all of the essentials in front of us--and I'm so happy my friends appreciated it all. The price was also ridiculously reasonable as well. Our waitress was a total doll. She was taking care of every table in the restaurant and somehow managed to keep everyone laughing, happy, and FULL. Just another reflection of the culture, I suppose! It is very difficult to find this type of food so I was ecstatic to find a place that does it so well and so affordably in Philadelphia. It tastes like home. Although it's quite a journey, I will definitely return! read more

I gotta agree Bruce. This restaurant is great, and has a huge menu. Very good and authentic. This place was recommended to me by a cook at a retirement home that I was delivering to in Delaware County. He was prepping several whole pigs to roast when I started telling him about how much I enjoy Puerto Rican food and restaurants.. It took me a few weeks to actually stop in Feddy and Tony's, but once I was inside, I knew that I was gonna purchace more than just lunch... The inside is more like an old diner... They have a pretty large menu, and plenty of fresh fruit drinks... I ordered lunch and then ordered several other items to take home to my family.. Gotta take advantage of good food when I run across it since there isn't much variety offered where I live... Just the usual pizza, chinese, and burger places... If you live within a convenient drive to Freddy and Tony's, consider yourself very lucky. This is a place that's great to stop in for a decent lunch hour.. read more

Ordered thru grub hub. Food was delicious everything was fresh. Love that I can get good Spanish food delivered. Definitely going to repeat here. read more

Came here with a party of 4 and we weren't sure what to order, so we pretty much ordered everything! Mofongo comes with these pieces of pork skin, which makes everything taste even better, but when added with gravy, comes out to perfection. Tostones with garlic was better than without garlic. The beef was pretty bland and nothing special. The pernil (pork) was a little on the saltier side, but complements well with the rice and beans. Now, another thing to note is the PRICE! My gluttonous group definitely over-ordered (ended up feeding all 4 of us almost to the point of death, with enough leftovers for 4 extra meals) and each of us paid $18. Okay, that might sound like a lot, but we also ordered a ~$5 colada drink. So fine, take away the drink, come with a big group and order family-style, and you're probably paying ~$6.00 per head for a delicious meal! read more

When I think of Spanish food I think of their rice and beans , pernil , empanadas , potatoes balls , and fried plantains. I was introduced to Spanish food years back and I loved it . I've always had porky points since living in Philly and thought I'd give another place a try because the last time I went there the food didn't taste the same . Maybe there's a different owner or chief but their food has changed. So we decided to do spanish food catering for my stepdaughter's birthday party , something different and I'm happy to know they do catering here . The price was right with plenty of food for my parties . I'm glad to have give Freddy and Tony's a try because their food were so delicious . Their rice were cook to perfection . The aroma when you removed the aluminum foil from the top just makes your mouth watered . I was a little upset with their pernil because they could of shredded the meat a little smaller and wished the pernil skin was more crunchy and crispy and not chewy . For a last minute order they were able to get my orders ready by the next day . Overall great service and excellent food . I would definitely returned back in the future . read more

I've been here a couple of times and had some very filling, inexpensive meals. The Cubano sandwich of pork, ham, and cheese is great. For a splurge I might get the octopus salad - worth the price! Each time I've been here the place has been filled with people in line for take out. Hasn't been a problem getting a seat on the other side, and the waitstaff is friendly. read more

They gave us potato balls that had raw meat in them and so did the pastelillos!! It was so nasty and we waited 40 minutes standing there while other ppl came in got their food and left. So basically we spent $50 and couldn't even eat the food! I wanted to give 0 stars read more

The people here are so nice and very helpful. It's very nice that their entire menu is described in English so you know what the dishes are. We were ordering out to take to a friend's house so we got a bit of everything. We loved it all-- and my boyfriend is puerto rican and he said it was all great as well. We got mofongo, yellow rice with beans, beans, pork, fried pork, blood sausage (if you're non-puerto Rican and haven't had this, you should really give it a try because it's actually delicious), and chicken. Oh and also potato balls with beef-- so, so yummy. All so good. Definitely the best yellow rice I've had. We'll definitely be back for more. read more
