🌮 Beyond Street Staples

Estrella Mexicana gives the Bronx a Mexican comfort food stop with room to stray from your usual order. Hearty tortas and tacos sit alongside traditional enchiladas, and the kitchen roots its cooking in classic recipes, seasoning and craft. Start with the dish you came thinking about, then give the rest of the menu a look before choosing.

Seafood platters take things beyond the street staples. There are burritos, cemitas, fajitas and quesadillas, too, giving you several directions for a meal under the same roof. A sandwich craving and a taste for a traditional plate can share a destination.

Find it at 106 E 183rd St, with service starting at 9 AM every day and ending at 11 PM Sunday through Thursday, then half past eleven PM Friday and Saturday. That leaves both an early opening and an evening window when you are working a meal into your day.
