Jose Garces, the top Latin chef who brought authentic tapas to Philadelphia with his acclaimed restaurants Amada and Tinto, has opened Distrito (40th & Chestnut streets), a high-energy restaurant inspired by the spirited culture of Mexico City. The menu traverses the city's rich gastronomical landscape, serving contemporary interpretations of classic Mexican fare in a fun "small plates" format that incorporates authentic Mexican ingredients into fresh presentations like "Nacho Libres," a variety of both traditional and Chef Garces' signature tacos. The restaurant's vivacious decor, designed by Jun Aizaki of Crème Design Collective, pays homage to the diverse elements of Mexico City's culture, among them the colorful masks of the lucha libre or "free fight" professional wrestlers.
