Now, you can get that same burger at El Sazon R.D. in Northern Liberties.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">The new eatery has a menu featuring Dominican flavors in a takeout setting. They also feature empanadas that can be sliced open and topped taco style. There are loaded fries and house made Dominican drinks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">The restaurant has 3 locations in New York City, where it was first launched 2 years ago. This is the first location outside of New York. The Philadelphia location offers a limited menu with plans to expand in the future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">The team behind the restaurant has been in Philadelphia since 2020 with the restaurant SET NoLibs. El Sazon R.D. is right next door and brings a fast-food experience with a Dominican twist.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC eTIW sUzSN \"><a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elsazon-rd.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">El Sazon R.D.<\/a> | <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/elsazon_rd83\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook <\/a>| <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/elsazon_rd83\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram<\/a><br class=\" \"\/>1030 North 2nd Street Suite 201, Philadelphia, PA 19123<\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2026 WPVI-TV.
