Chef Mark Smith’s Tortilla Press Cantina (7716 Maple Ave., Pennsauken, N.J.), forced to close in the fall of 2008 when the 18-month Merchantville bridge construction project snuffed out the flow of business in the South Jersey town, is back in action as of today. The menu features both Mexican faves from Smith’s original Tortilla Press location in Collingswood alongside more American choices. The biggest difference between Smith’s two spaces, though, is that the Cantina’s got a liquor license — they pour a slew of specialty margaritas and other cocktails, and they’ve got beer, wine and by-the-shot tequila lists. They’re open for dinner and drinks Tuesday through Sunday.
