"Is it Saturday or Sunday? Okay, great. Listen up: Walk with purpose through The Italian Market on 9th Street, passing right on by Italian shops like DiBruno’s and Talluto’s (you can, and should, return later) until you reach the corner of Ellsworth Street. Look for the hand painted yellow sign with pink trim that proclaims you've reached South Philly Barbacoa, where inside, Cristina Martínez and her husband Ben Miller, local restaurateurs and community advocates, are serving up some of the best tacos on the east coast. The menu is small— consisting chiefly of the barbacoa tacos and consuconsommé that put Martinez on Bon Appetit 's and Netflix’s radar—but once you get a taste, you'll understand what all the fuss is about." - Devra Ferst
