La Baja at 9 N. Main St., Ambler:
James Beard nominee Dionicio Jiménez of Kensington’s Cantina La Martina, and his wife, Mariangeli Alicea Saez, are behind this 30-seat, moderately upscale BYOB, where the cooking will fuse the northern Mexican border cuisine of Baja with Mediterranean and Asian ingredients.
