"James Beard-winning chef Cristina Martinez helms this city icon featured on Season 5 of Chef’s Table. The lamb barbacoa tacos are the thing to get, for which the meat is marinated then cooked overnight before it’s chopped to order and served on homemade tortillas. South Philly Barbacoa is open only for limited hours from Friday through Monday, so check ahead, prepare for a wait, and know it’s cash only. Or, if you still want to get a taste of Martinez’s cooking elsewhere during the week, check out next-door sibling restaurant Casa México, which is open daily." - Emma Orlow
