Description
Located near the Bronx Zoo and the New York Botanical Garden, this informal neighborhood joint specializes in home-style Mexican cooking. While the kitchen excels at staples like vegan birria tacos and birria ramen, visitor experiences can diverge; reviewers point to inconsistency with delivery orders and sides, and the wings have drawn criticism for being overcooked. Inside, the space operates as a kid-friendly community restaurant where the focus remains on hot, freshly prepared plates, reasonable prices, and quick turnaround times.
