FISHTOWN (WPVI) -- When James Beard nominated chef Carlos Aparicio opened the original El Chingon in South Philly, little did he know three years later he would be building on that success with a second location. El Chingon Fishtown is a new outdoor, year-round, casual spot featuring fun dishes and drinks, with a beer garden space attached.
