Reviews for El Cantinflas Bar & Restaurant in Philadelphia, PA

Very cute bar/ restaurant. The food was excellent we had the chicken pastelillos made fresh not ones that have been sitting... under a hot lamp. We also had the bacalaitos and the alcapurias they were hot n freshly cooked they were excellent as well.Whoever they have in the kitchen is killing it. We were there for about two hours and the amount of take out orders were crazy.Needless to say I'll be back Read more

Ordered from grubhub/seamless but the review system is conveniently giving an error. Food had enough salt to kill an adolescent... water-buffalo. The drink, sweet enough to induce gagging. Cheese, almost nonexistent, as in "did they run out of cheese andthrow the last 2 shreds in to qualify this as an empanada?"An awful waste of money Read more

El Cantinflas is a neighborhood bar with some kickass plantain dishes. If you?re craving Puerto Rican food ?bacalaito, mofongo,... stuffed plantains, they have you covered. They often have a DJ with music blasting, and serve buckets if Coronitas along with anassortment of beer and spirits. If you go when they?re busy, there?s likely to be plenty of dancing to go with the music. Makesure you go prepared to have a good time. Read more
