"If you haven’t heard about how good the tacos are at South Philly Barbacoa, we can tell you that they’re the best in the city (and maybe the country). The Italian Market spot is only open for walk-ins on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, and like the Liberty Bell, there will always be a line in front of it. But with a menu of barbacoa, lamb, and pancita tacos, along with a bowl of oniony consomme, a meal here is worth any Amtrak ride (even the one from Miami). Get one of each—they’ll come with all the toppings, salsas, and tortillas you could possibly need." - Candis Mclean, Alison Kessler
