"Puebla and Veracruz cuisine is the influence behind the south-of-the-border appeal of restaurateur Stephen Starr’s El Rey in Rittenhouse. Here, Mexican folk art and Spanish movie posters fill the walls as tasty carnitas tacos, tumbada (a Veracruz-style paella), hearty nachos, and boozy margaritas are served with ease. Head to Fishtown to check out Starr’s sibling spot LMNO — a restaurant, lounge, book store, and art gallery all rolled into one." - Ernest Owens
