Oregon Ave

San Miguelito Mexican Cuisine has taken over Los Jimenez at the corner of 6th St and Oregon Ave. As chef Jimenez moves on to tackle Logan Square Pizza and Cocina, a new chef takes over the Whitman eatery at  6th and Oregon.

The menu at San Miguelito has been extended to include traditional dishes, including the famous chiles rellenos. This San Miguelito chef aims to bring authentic world flavors and culture to South Philadelphia.
