"Carlos Aparicio spent years cooking in popular Philly establishments — one of his claims to fame is developing the secret baguette recipe for Stephen Starr’s Parc. Now as the chef-owner of El Chingon, he’s wowing Philly with cemitas (Mexican sandwiches on crispy, seeded rolls), tacos, horchata, ice cream-filled churros, and a lot more. This bright, all-day BYOB has quickly become a neighborhood go-to since opening in late 2022." - Ernest Owens
