The 25 Best Restaurants In Philadelphia - Philadelphia - The Infatuation
"There's no shortage of fantastic Mexican restaurants in this city, but there is a shortage of great cemitas. Lucky for us, there's El Chingon, an all-day Mexican cafe and BYOB restaurant. It's a plant-filled corner spot perfect for grabbing coffee and conchas before work or sharing a bunch of tacos and tostadas for a casual date night. The whole menu is worth exploring, but the real specialties here are the Pueblan-style sandwiches. We can't stop thinking about the clásica, which comes stacked with crisp fried chicken, avocado, chipotle peppers, and stringy, salty quesillo cheese, all on housemade rolls. Chingon's chef/owner started the bread program at Parc, so you know those buns are good." - candis mclean, alison kessler
