Sometimes the best spots are barely on the map. Walk into Café Ceviche, a recent endeavor by STARR Restaurants alum Blas Popoca, and you’re greeted by an exceptionally warm staff, a tall case of pristine pan dulce baked on premises, and lively cumbia music brightening the modest South Philly spot. You can stop by during the week and have a huitlacoche (aka corn truffle) quesadilla with a fresh smoothie, but weekends are when the real magic happens: aguachile verde, ceviche mixto, and tamales with chicken mole or rajas style with tomato, jalapenos, epazote, and queso Oaxaca.
