La Morada

We came to La Morada because of a positive review in a magazine. And we found the food to be extraordinary: Lamb Shanks with White Mole, Chile Relleno with Mole Oaxaqueño, meat balls with green olives inside, pumpkin soup, and more. Each evoked a "Wow, you have to taste this..." What we weren't prepared for was the quality of the hospitality; we felt as though we'd been invited to dinner by this family. What genuinely kind people they are, and how fortunate we felt to be dining in their restaurant.

This place is awesome. It’s a small hidden gem in the Bronx. It’s a family owned restaurant and it’s delicious authentic Mexican cuisine. They deserve their Michelin recommendation. They make their own mole sauce which is very hard to find. I love this small local restaurant. The food is delicious and I felt like I was in Mexico while eating here.

Such a special place! It offers traditional moles and other Mexican classics. The focus on Oaxacan cuisine is wonderful. Everyone here is so sweet, and their community work is incredible. A must visit!!!

Food and people were great. Menu online says $12 for mole but when I got the check it was $30 for one plate of mole. That’s $30 with no meat and a one stuffed pepper with cheese. Very expensive for what you’re getting & I’m not going back for that reason. $30 bro for a plate of rice beans and a stuffed pepper, ridiculous

Delicious food, had al pastor tacos, white mole, and vegetable enchiladas. Really flavorful bites of food. As a Korean the white mole was a bit difficult for me to wrap my head around, since we make a dish similar to this but with totally different flavor. The horchata was fresh made (I don’t know how that is possible, but it was good), and limonata great as well. I came after watching Taco Chronicles on Netflix. The famed vegan squash flower tacos were not yet available as it is seasonal and they will appear roughly end of June through September. Can’t wait to come back and try those. Not the most modern dining area, very local feel which was appropriate of course, but I do wish a bit more attention was paid to interior, but like I said, great food and great service. Well worth check
