We would eat here again. A little out of the way but worth it. Everything we ate was good, hot, and fresh. They received an A from the health inspector while we were here.

Delicious breakfast and unique hot chocolate. I got eggs with guacamole and salsa and the jalapeno chicken tamale. Beautiful plate. The hot chocolate is a little thick and made with corn flour. I never had anything like this. The young man was so nice and...Read More

Totally, totally recommend! We were a bit skeptical about going to Hunts point and we live in the Bronx but it was well worth it. Meet the owner, who was extremely friendly and grateful. Was very busy at 11:30am. Constantly people coming in …

Loved the chicken salsa verde and chicken mole tamales. They were packed so well that the tamales were still very hot even after a 30 minute drive. I would ask for more salsa though next time since I had about six tamales and the two...Read More
