Nemi serves modern Mexican food in North Philadelphia, working from house-made tortillas and salsas alongside guacamoles and ceviches. The kitchen pairs traditional flavors with newer technique, and the menu runs from duck confit and tamarind-marinated New York strip to enchiladas rojas, charred pollo asado in mezcal sauce, and fajitas, with dishes like tostada de pulpo al pastor and scallop ceviche in blood orange sauce rounding things out.
A full tequila and mezcal bar anchors the room, with house-made mixers going into the margaritas. Weekend brunch has developed a following of its own, and regulars describe the space as intimate and upscale for a neighborhood spot, with attentive, friendly service.
