This slow-roasted pork carnitas comes with handmade corn tortillas and all the fixins!
Philadelphians have been lining up down the block for a taste of South Philly Barbacoa’s legendary lamb barbacoa tacos since 2012, but chef/owner Cristina Martinez comes from a long line of barbacoieros, and has been making traditional barbacoa the old-fashioned way since she was a little girl growing up in Capulhuac, Mexico. After leaving an abusive marriage she immigrated to Philly, where she remarried and started selling her slow-roasted barbacoa out of her apartment. A food cart soon followed, then a brick-and-mortar restaurant, then appearances on Netflix’s “Chef’s Table” and “Ugly Delicious” and national acclaim.
