"Cristina Martinez’s lamb barbacoa tacos regularly draw national attention to this casual Italian Market eatery. The lamb is marinated and cooked overnight before tender chunks, chopped to order, are served on homemade tortillas. South Philly Barbacoa is open incredibly limited hours, so prepare for a wait (and be sure to plan ahead)." - Ernest Owens, Eater Staff
