"This modest Mexican grocery in the Bronx’s hilly University Heights offers a brief list of tacos among other deli fare and juices. The pig tripe taco is particularly good, squirted with a bit of crema, and it illustrates an important idea regarding tripe — two different organs are both identified as mammalian tripe, the small intestine and the stomach lining. “Tripe” in taquerias usually refers to the intestinal variety." - Robert Sietsema
"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
