The Hit List: New Philadelphia Restaurants To Try Right Now - Philadelphia - The Infatuation
"Rittenhouse’s La Jefa opened with a lot of anticipation—after all, it’s the sibling of the beautiful (and much-beloved) Tequila’s. But this all-day cafe stands out on its own thanks to its Mexican-inspired breakfast and baked goods. The sit-down menu is full of hits: chilaquiles with pickled ayocote folded into a perfect omelette, an oat and fruit bowl punched up by turmeric milk, and a zesty zucchini sandwich topped with cilantro pesto and pepper relish. You’ll want to lounge for an hour or two in the airy, tile-filled dining room, but if you have to take your totomoxtle latte to go, be sure to grab a blackberry concha, too (the pastries here are knockouts). Dinner service in the sexy second dining area hasn’t started yet, but we can’t wait to see if La Jefa is this good come nighttime." - candis mclean, alison kessler, candis mclean, candis mclean, alison kessler, candis mclean, candis mclean, candis mclean, alison kessler, candis mclean, alison kessler, candis mclean, alison kessler
