"There aren’t that many great Mexican places in University City, and there are even fewer ones that are open for lunch. So when you have some time to sit down to lunch with a coworker or a friend who insists on having some guacamole, take them to Don Barriga. It’s a small shop on the corner of 45th and Spruce, and on top of dishes like tacos, enchiladas, and quesadillas, they also do barbacoa every Friday through Sunday. It’s almost as good as the stuff from South Philly Barbacoa, and you won’t have to wait in a crazy line." - sydney mcelwee
