La Morada Restaurant, Bronx, New York, Mexican Restaurant Details

Food:

The mole selection is incredible!

Food:

After buying a couple of beers in a store a block away, which the son of the owners pointed out to us, we settled in for dinner. Laura ordered a taco and I ordered a gordita for appetizers; in a word, superb. We were given mason jars for our beers.
Laura ordered the mole poblano; I ordered a chile relleno. We've been to Oaxaca, and I can faithfully say that the mole of "La Morada" is as good as one we had in Oaxaca. A bit spicy, deeply chocolate-y, thick, fantastic. My chile was sublime. The rice and beans we were served were themselves wonderful. And the three tortillas we were each given were perfect for mopping up the mole and the chile's sauce.
I ordered a Oaxacan hot chocolate, and it took me back to Oaxaca: rich in flavor, piping hot, with a hint of cinammon. As I carefully sipped my hot chocolate, the owner brought me a serving of pumpkin sauce, which was also simply perfect: imagine applesauce, same consistency, not sweet, but with just a hint of sweetness.
Topping it all off, the family who runs the restaurant is very friendly. We conversed with the son and the daughter, and their mother then spoke to us at some length. And when we left, she held the door for us! Very highly recommended; this is a marvelous place to have a meal in a warm atmosphere.

Awesome place to come eat!

Food:

Excellent food, though the interior of the restaurant could use a bit of a makeover. Definitely some of the best Mexican food I've had in NY thus far. Come here for the food and try not to mind the decor too much (though the bookshelf in the back does have a bit of a home-y appeal to it).

Food:

Good place to get some Mexican food however my only concern is the steak has a bit of fat in it and find myself having to stick my hands in my mouth to remove the fat pieces. Other than that I love their food. My favorite plate is there enchiladas con salsa verde!
