The husband and wife team Chef Benjamin Miller and Cristina Martinez, who operate their food cart at 8^th and Watkins streets on Sunday mornings, have halted operations on establishing their South Philly Barbacoa restaurant at Isaiah Zagar’s warehouse located on Watkins Street. According to Passyunk Post, Miller gave a presentation early January to the East Passyunk Crossing Civic Association’s zoning committee on opening their own restaurant in the space but “met considerable resistance from the neighborhood about a restaurant opening there.”

Miller and Martinez are still looking for a suitable location but for now, they will continue to serve their immensely popular slow-cooked lamb and pancita steamed in maguey leaves in their food cart. You can find them outside Las Rosas Bakery in South Philly early Sunday mornings starting from 6 a.m. until 2:30 p.m.
