On Snyder Avenue just north of Passyunk, 12 blocks west of the Italian Market’s taqueria stronghold, chef/owner Yoshiko Yamasaki is serving up a menu of authentic — and affordable — Mexican fare. For brunch, order the huevos a la Mexicana (scrambled eggs with tomato and serrano pepper, for a mere $5.50) and a side of the jalapeño-studded pico de gallo. Or if you’re more in the lunch mood, the $7 chilaquiles (fried homemade corn tortillas doused in fresh mole sauce, then topped with melted queso fresco and a generous mound of roasted pork) are a can’t-miss deal.
