Creative Mexican Plates With Mezcal And Friday DJs
Share beef nachos and a Chenterita at a cozy, quirky Riverdale hole in the wall.
🌶️ Bites With A Beat
Riverdale Avenue hides a chic hole in the wall where Mexican cooking gets a creative, artisanal spin. Cocina Chente Mezcaleria and Botanas builds its menu on fresh, healthy ingredients and a lovingly preserved food culture. Start the table with crab cake tostadas and a plate of beef nachos, then add The Volcano, one of the gourmet dishes on the menu.
The bar side matters just as much here. Craft cocktails run from the house Chenterita to skinny margaritas, and the mezcal focus is right there in the name. The room has a quirky, lively streak, with music in the air and a live DJ on Fridays pushing dinner closer to a party. Service stays laid back and friendly, which suits a long table of shared plates.
Doors open Monday through Thursday from 3 PM to 10 PM, Friday and Saturday from 2 PM to 11 PM, and Sunday from noon to 10 PM, an early start that makes room for a slow weekend meal in this corner of the Bronx.
