"La Jefa comes from the team behind Rittenhouse institution, Tequila’s—in fact, they share a kitchen. For now, La Jefa is a daytime café with a menu of Mexican espresso drinks and food options like chilaquiles, barbacoa sandwiches, and house-baked concha (dinner will roll out later). There’s also a cocktail menu if you’re a three-micheladas-with-brunch kind of person. We checked out La Jefa and added it to the Hit List." - candis mclean, alison kessler
