"In the Bronx’s hilly Fordham Heights I visited a new taqueria lunch counter whose mascot is a goofy cartoon character with a cap coming out of a barrel; fresh-squeezed juices and batidos are a co-specialty, as are Dominican empanadas. Tacos are the thing to get, either Mexican style (with raw onion and cilantro) or American style (with lettuce, tomato, crema, and queso seco); chicken and chorizo are always available, and if you're lucky you may find tripe, tongue, or braised goat (barbacoa). The same fillings are also offered in tortas, tostadas, or huaraches." - Robert Sietsema
