El Acatlan Mexican Restaurant Corp, Bronx, New York, Tex-Mex Restaurant Details

Food:

Aside from the taco truck that is stationed on White Plains Road and the corner of Lydig Ave, this is the only local Mexican restaurant in the Pelham Parkway neighborhood of The Bronx. I must say that at first glance, the eatery appears to be as modest as the majority of businesses in the area. The room is compact, but tidy with the kitchen space shared towards the back of the room. When walking in, the vibrancy of colors from hung ponchos and decorative sombreros is charming and the homey feel of the place would fool you to think you're dining at a family kitchen. Though, the space isn't exactly modern or trendy as far as decor is concerned, it is truly authentic. The servers are very nice and attentive, but the big surprise however lies in the food! I had ordered three tacos as I typically do when sampling a new place, and I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised. The protein was cooked flavorfully, the tortillas had a slight crisp to them and the toppings were as fresh as can be. The tacos were all unbelievably delicious. I enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa as well, and better yet, it was all very affordable, if anything. I will definitely be visiting here more frequently. If ever in the area, you should too!
