The best Mexican tacos in the Bronx
All the food was delicious and the service was very friendly. The tlayuda is one of my favorites. I recommend it.
Delicious mole, tacos, pozole -- great menu! The tacos came with a side of grilled nopales, chili and onions. And the flavor of the mole poblano was amazing. The only less good thing was the Caesar salad, which we probably should have known better than to order, and the cafe de olla tasted kind of watered down with not much coffee taste, but I've never had it before so I'm not sure what it be like. I would definitely go again so I can try the fried fish and champurrado next time!
La Cueva Fonda is a hidden gem in Longwood! The food is absolutely incredible, and the prices are unbeatable. I've been coming here for years, and everything I've tried has been delicious. The burritos with Camarones, steak, chicken – they're all amazing, and the tacos are fantastic too!
The best Al pastor tacos ever. I live in BK and whenever I’m in the neighborhood I absolutely force myself to get these tacos. Birria Landia in Williamsburg, taqueria Ramirez in Greenpoint and La Cueva Fonda in the Bronx are just my favorite for tacos all round in NYC.
Very small place on Leggett avenue on the Bronx. Food is amazing I can say it’s the closest to true Mexican taste. I highly recommend for anyone interested in real Mexican food. My kids and friends love this place.
As a Mexican American that grew up on the border and well traveled, this is the best Mexican food I have had on the East Coast! It's made with heart and soul and the flavor in every bite me debating on whether or not to order more to take home. I can't wait to go back and try more because eating here and speaking to the owner, was like going home a short visit home. We had the nachos, gorditas, tlayuda, and chilaquiles.
This is an incredible restaurant. I happened to be in the neighborhood. Excellent tacos, tamales, and picaditas. Very good prices. Tacos came with jalapeño and cactus and grilled onion. There are so many good looking dishes I'll have to come and try ranging from the more standard fare of burritos and tacos to Barbacoa, parrillada, tlayudas. My friend had the torta and he loved it. I don't remember the last time I had such good and authentic Mexican food. Definitely worth a trip!
The portions and prices are just awesome, my husband asked for 3 tacos and a quesadilla because he tough it would be small, we end up getting the quesadillas to go 🤣, flavor delicious, sauce on point and the service just something to apreciate. And the flavored water such as horchata and Tamarindo just delicious What makes me the happiest is that they had 2 taco options, the regular for me which is mexican original taco and the special, which is a more american taco perfect for my husband
Food is not bad, best thing from them is the fish tacos. I did order chicken a la Mexicana and the chicken was freezer burnt so it was hard and chewy. Not for nothing but I can tell when product has freezer burn. Churros are okay, over priced and so are their cakes. The lady that's recently taking order seems to not know how to take orders, example... I had to repeat my CC info like 5 times and she would repeat back or input the wrong information till I got tired and said, lady nevermind. She also takes forever to take an order . Overall the place is not bad but it is expensive in my opinion for so so foodthey sell. Their gorditas de chicharron suck because it's all masa and barely any chicharron, I mean I am paying right? I prefer Betos, since their gorditas de chicharron are way better but unfortunately they don't have fish tacos. La cueva once did sell me a pozole that tasted like burnt oregano, im going to assume they disnt taste it or just disnt care to sell burnt oregano wanna be pozole soup. When I called them about it, they replaced it and sent me a watered down version that still tasted like burnt oregano. I just like their fish tacos try not to buy from there much. They used to be better! Their guac sucks btw. Not worth the very high price of it. Only recommend the fish tacos.
After they renovated the restaurant, the food is garbage 🗑️ very disappointing,
I been ordering from cueva fonda for years, but there quality of food goes down year by year and is just not good I order some carnitas tacos and man they send me overcooked pieces. I take it as an insult I’m done. Want some quality tacos to go a place like Los tacos no 1. Or some places in queens but this place is down bad.
