This Ain't Your Average Chipotle

In an affirmation of our beloved Philly being one of the "great restaurant cities," it was recently announced that celebrity chef Rick Bayless will be opening a Mexican eatery in the ARCH building, which is currently under construction.

And it's not some ill-fated attempt to compete with Chipotle (read: Houston Taqueria.) In fact, the renowned chef hopes to "educate students' palettes" as they scurry along Locust on their way to other educational pasttimes.

The café will specialize in tortas, a Mexican-style panini, while also boasting full breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus--plus a guacamole bar (yum!).

Most appetizing to us? The prices will be comparable to those of other on-campus food marts. So get ready to chow down come spring semester, when both the upgraded ARCH building and Penn's newest food joint are set to make their debut.
