"This East End cafe and restaurant offers beautiful interpretations of Mexican staples, like tender and spice-loaded cochinita pibil, served on a platter with sides or in taco form; tamales and roasted chicken with mole negro; and flavorful salad, grain, or rice bowls served with fiery proteins like roasted beets and grilled pineapple shrimp. Diners can often be seen scurrying in for Cochinita’s breakfast, too, where chilaquiles and loaded breakfast tacos are available only until 11 a.m. Fortunately, the fruity aguas frescas and coffee drinks are an all-day affair." - Brittany Britto Garley
