Fodor's Expert Review La Morada

This acclaimed South Bronx establishment of Mexican cuisine goes far beyond tacos and gorditas to explore the deeply flavorful world of indigenous Oaxacan cooking. You can stick with familiar handheld items, but save your appetite for more complex dishes including molcajete (red or green mole with chorizo, cheese, rice, beans, tortillas, and meat), pampazo (chorizo and potatoes with choice of mole), and poblano chile relleno stuffed with cheese and coated in egg batter, served with tomato sauce, rice, and beans.
