Buccann Restaurant

Food was excellent. We had cheesesteak egg rolls. Grilled chicken skewers. Chicken and waffles and Steak w/mashed yuca and asparagus.

I discovered this restaurant through Instagram reels. I wanted to go as it seemed like it had a nice vibe. I wanted to also try their mojito tower and the food looked very enticing. This place serves Carribean/Latin inspired cuisine and is located in northeast Philly. For starters we had the island shrimp, mofonguito flight, croqueta de platano maduro, platano relleño, and calamari. All the food tasted great and beautifully plated! The island shrimp tasted great but is basic. The dish consisted of crispy butterfly shrimp served with house made slaw. The following dishes are my favorites during the visit and I highly recommend. The mofonguito flight consists of a trio of fried mashed plantains topped with ground beef, stewed chicken, and shrimp drizzled with chili and fresh guacamole. The Croqueta de platano maduro is a ripe plantain croquettes filled with shredded chicken and cheese served with creamy cilantro aoili. The platano relleño dish consists of baked sweet plantain stuffed with shrimp and is topped with house special sweet creamy chili sauce. The calamari dish was pretty basic as well but I really liked it. Their calamari is lightly breaded, well seasoned and perfectly crisp. The dish is served with ketchup and Chipotle aoili. We ordered a lot of appetizers as we find the portion to be on the smaller side (as pictured). For cocktails, we ordered a mojito tower. We were able to select 5 out of the 8 flavors offered. We selected: Coconut, Tamarind, Passion Fruit, Strawberry, and Mango. We wanted Guava but they were out of the flavor during the visit. The drinks tasted great and refreshing but we find the drinks to be on the weaker side. I also had the Mango Henessy cocktail which was not bad but again on the weaker side. I actually prefer this specific drink to be on the weak as I am not really much into the taste of Henessy. The price of the food and the drinks were not bad. I felt we ordered a lot of items for the amount we paid overall during the visit. I forgot the name of the server but she was really pretty, friendly and very attentive. She also had a really nice smile. The place is decorated nicely and is clean. The music was a little loud. The place also offers hookah which I believe is paid cash only. I would definitely go back to this place for the food mostly although I would try the drinks again (maybe it was just a miss for the visit). I rate this place a 4.7 out of 5.

Had a nice time. The food was delicious and flavorful. My only problem was that the waitress put only half our order in. So my food came out first, and an hour later, my husband's food finally came out. They did give us a couple of drinks for the inconvenience.

Delicious food! I was skeptical coming from NJ but once inside the ambiance was great. The margaritas were on point! We had empanadas, salmon, rice and mofongo with shrimp. Everything was simply delicious and the presentation of the food was great! We will definitely be returning! Nice place for date night too!

Nice place to meet up with friends for some delicious cocktails, music and Latin American cuisine! Very clean, diverse and they have great service especially Jeff and the bartender!
