Chibanos

A Chinese-Cuban sandwich counter on Pine Street that won't be filed as either one, running on Fong family recipes that have lived in two diasporas before reaching Philadelphia. The Chibano layers the family's roast pork with ham, swiss, and haam choy, a Chinese pickle, while the Pica Pica pairs picadillo with crispy taro sticks. This is a daytime place, open Wednesday through Sunday, where you order at the counter and grab a seat at the communal tables or in the back dining room.
