LOOKING FOR LISTS FROM OTHER YEARS?

Hot List 2009

Distrito, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

3945 Chestnut Street

Tel: 215-222-1657

The bright pink Distrito, with its wall of glittering gold luchador masks, roaming mariachi singers, and a VW Beetle turned booth might come off as a load of Latino kitsch if not for chef Jose Garces's sophisticated twists on Mexican street food. Esquites (classic grilled corn on the cob) are presented as a parfait of corn, queso fresco, and chipotle, while tuetanos (bone marrow tacos topped with bacon marmalade) are a primal delight.
Tip: Servers are happy to pair tequilas from the 50-plus menu to your dinner (entrées, $19–$33).
