South Philly Barbacoa - Philadelphia, PA
South Philly Barbacoa has been a famed spot for barbacoa ever since it appeared on Netflix shows Chef's Table and David Chang's Ugly Delicious. Owned and operated by Chef Cristina Martinez and her husband Ben Miller, the restaurant is only open on weekends but starts serving at the crack of dawn (5 am to be specific). Expect lines, bring cash, and if you feel like something other than barbacoa, take your pick of the quesadillas, tamales, pancita (spicy lamb offal sausage)—whatever you choose, you'll realize the place is worth every bit of hype.
Get this: Barbacoa tacos (obviously) and the consommé (soup with rice and chickpeas) is another menu fave.
