South Philly Barbacoa: Come for lamb tacos, stay for quesadillas with house-made Oaxaca cheese and fresh huitlacoche

If you’ve never tasted fresh huitlacoche, you’re in for a special treat. Sauteed with sweet white kernels, garlic, and epazote, it lends the quesadilla’s filling an inky-black, earthy depth that’s as magnetic as any truffle.
