The Best Mexican Restaurants in Philadelphia | Eater Philly
"Long-time El Rey chef Dionicio Jiménez’s brightly tiled Kensington operation earned him a 2023 James Beard Award nod for Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic. Jiménez doesn’t mind playing with tradition; at Cantina La Martina, he marries flavors from other cuisines with Mexican staples for delicious outcomes such as chilaquiles Italianos — crispy tortillas with salsa verde, Parmesan, herbs, eggs, and burrata — and trufa y remolacha asada, a tilapia cured in lime juice and finished with cherry tomatoes, roasted beets, and black truffles." - Ernest Owens
