La Calaca Feliz aiming for next week
Cantina Feliz duo Tim Spinner and Brian Sirhal are looking at mid-week next week for the debut of La Calaca Feliz (2321 Fairmount Ave.), the Fairmount Mexican restaurant we first noted in October. (It's also one of the five new anticipated projects we named in our year-end restaurant recap.) Garces alum Spinner's menu, featuring dishes like tlayudas (Mexican-style pizzas), alambres (skewers; look for an octopus rendition with poblanos, pearl onions and lemon vin) and tableside guac, will be executed by Lucio Palazzo, last chef de cuisine at Xochitl. The food'll be complemented by Sirhal's beverage program, featuring more than 50 types of tequila and craft beer, wine and cocktail lists. The space (formerly Illuminare) will feature the badass Dia de los Muertos imagery of Philly painter Alison Dilworth, who hooked up the partners' year-old Ft. Washington restaurant with its elaborate murals. Room for 60 in the dining room, 12 at the bar and 30 in a unique soon-to-be-completed greenhouse room.
