Wow! The dishes were delicious and innovative! Our server, Daniel, was spot on with his…read morerecommendations - we enjoyed our cocktail (La Guelaguetza) and sharing the generous portions of Esquites (corn), Tlayuda (large tostada), and Enmoladas de pato (duck confit). As a corn lover, the flavor note of Esquites just reminded me of elotes that you get from a street vendor in Mexico. The Tlayuda was huge! We added carne asada as our topping, and it turned into an huge entree that's shareable between two people. We finished our meal with the most flavor-intense dish - duck confit enmoladas. Despite not being a crazy mole fan, the mole sauce that was drizzled all over the enmoladas had a perfect balance of rich notes with a bit of bittersweet chocolate undertone. The ambiance was great with both indoor and outdoor seating. We were there to celebrate our anniversary, and the restaurant made it so special for us by providing a menu printed with "happy anniversary" with a note card and glasses of sparkling wine! This is a gem that's not to be missed!!!

We were in the area and just went in because Mexican for dinner sounded good. Once inside, I saw…read morethe Michelin sign and slowly realized as I looked around the restaurant that this was not a casual Tex-Mex kind of place. By then the hostess had already seated us and I was immersed in the excellent service and the delicious aromas from the open kitchen. My husband lived in Mexico City for a time and he said this was some of the best Mexican food he'd had. The corn vermouth was delicious and I'd never heard of sotol so tried it in a paloma, which was great. Definitely will go back again, but only once my wallet has recovered.

Very traditional and good Mexican food especially in Bronx New York should try......this placeread more

Yesterday's brunch: Chilaquiles verdes with Cecina (salty beef), a side of black beans with queso…read morefresco, and a Limeade with mint from @taqueriatlaxcallibx Everything was seasoned perfectly, and the salsa verde had just the right kick to it. The portion size was excellent, though I would have preferred a little less onions in the dish, as they overpowered the overall taste of the chilaquiles just a little bit. The black beans were also well seasoned and the queso fresco topping was the perfect finishing touch for the side dish. The Limeade was refreshing and flavorful, and a great pairing for the whole meal. I ordered delivery from Uber Eats, and the total with tax and tip after discounts (I'm an Uber One member) was $45.12, but if you're in the Parkchester area definitely check out Taqueria Tlaxcalli for delicious, authentic Mexican food #notsponsored

We've lived within walking distance from the restaurants on both Johnson and Riverdale Aves for 5…read moreyrs. When we 1st moved here and tried Metate, we thought it was just, Meh. As a result, we either went to Cocina Chente or ordered from Picante Picante. The former changed owners; the former owners opened Tobala. A few months ago, my husband tried Metate and said the burrito had gotten way better. Yesterday, I decided to pick up some apps as we had main course at home. I bought the corn and Tostones; they were amazing! Very, very delicious! I'm willing to try them again, and go for a main course. Since I didn't have a main course or drinks, I don't think the review warrants 5 stars. In terms of service, it was great; I walked up to the bar and my order was taken right away. I was standing only bc I sit a lot for work; therefore, I deferred the offer to sit down. Some reviews mentioned new owners; in our experience, it seems to be in the right direction.

Cocina Chente in Riverdale gave my friends and me a great experience last Friday. Making a…read morereservation via Google was easy, and the staff responded promptly, showing politeness and cheerfulness, creating a good first impression. The restaurant had a fun, energetic vibe with many tables occupied, creating a lively ambiance perfect for the weekend. The guacamole and chips were superb--fresh, thick, and satisfying. I ordered beef nachos, and my friends had chicken quesadillas; all arrived hot and tasty. The rice on the side was well-seasoned. For drinks, I had the Rosa Colada--visually impressive with smoke for a dramatic effect--and my friends enjoyed Passion Fruit Mojitos. Both drinks were not overly sweet, a nice change. Overall, Cocina Chente offered a charming dining experience with great food, drinks, attentive staff, and a lively vibe. It's a must-visit in Riverdale. We're returning, especially for their guac and chips--our favorites!

It was after midnight and the food came out quickly after I ordered.

I ordered the birria tacos and they were so good. The tortillas were soft with just the right amount of crisp, giving that perfect texture. The beef was incredibly well-marinated--so tender it practically felt like it would fall off the bone if there was one. And let's talk about the consommé... perfectly seasoned, rich, and garnished just right. It really brought everything together and elevated the whole experience. If you're debating whether to try them--do it. Just maybe order a little earlier if you're hungry
