University City - A Foodie Destination

University City has one of the most vibrant culinary landscapes in Philadelphia. Because of its proximity to UPenn and Drexel, the neighborhood is a brilliant panoply of cultures, which inextricably binds to the food. From junky street tacos served on the corner to proper Italian trattorias, the neighborhood is a hotpot of flavors.

What makes University City stand out is that it serves everyone: you are a student with limited funds looking for a snack, a working professional with limited time to grab a bite, or even a family looking for these "best places to eat near me" for a weekend getaway. This melting-pot atmosphere, which includes a constant influx of young professionals and students, keeps the food scene fresh, new, and engaging.

University City is a veritable incubator of food trends, wherein experimental fusion dishes rub shoulders with traditional comfort foods. That’s just what makes this place the perfect fit for Empanada Mama. By bringing our authentic Latin food into the neighborhood, we are contributing to the eclectic University City food scene that locals and visitors cherish.
