Openings: South Philly Barbacoa Cart

Lamb fans take note: this Sunday, January 26th, Ben Miller and his wife Cristina Martinez are launching their South Philly Barbacoa cart. The couple has been steaming lamb barbacoa and pancita tacos in maguey leaves out of their South Philadelphia home for family and friends for a while now and on Sunday they're rolling the operation out to the public on Sunday. Beginning at 7 a.m. Miller and Martinez are going to be setting up their cart outside of La Rosa, a Mexican bakery on the corner of 7th and Watkins.

If all of this sounds a little familiar, that's because we told you about them a few weeks back. South Philly Barbacoa has tentative plans on a brick and mortar location in the Isaac Zagar's mosaic warehouse.
