Review La Morada Restaurant - Bronx

This Oaxacan spot has been on my list for a while and I was finally able to get up here. Not easy as they’re only open on weekdays and close at 5pm. It was well worth it though. Super friendly service and awesome food. They offer not just one but a variety of different moles. I got the less common Oaxaqueno mole and chicken which was a warming blend of seven chiles with a nice kick, perfect for a winter day. Served with rice, beans, and corn tortillas - all well prepared - it was a delicious and filling lunch.

Best Mexican food I have had in a very long time. Servers super attentive and welcoming.

A very humble spot with good service and very good food. We did not wait long for our food and it tasted authentic and flavourful. They are helping refugees by giving free food to whoever is in need. This is amazing these days and you don't see that often enough. Please go, eat, and support those in need. Thank you for your hospitality and support of the community.

La Morada catered an event that my work was hosting and it was a wonderful experience. The entire La Morada team when above and beyond- when I originally reached out to them about catering I didn't realize that they were closed on Saturdays (which was the day of our event). They came in to cook on a Saturday morning to help us out. Everything was packaged perfectly and transported very well. We had multiple food allergies and they labeled everything/accommodated all of the allergies (lactose, raw carrots, nuts, etc.). Everybody that attended our event loved the food. Thank you so much Marco and team.

La Morada is as satisfying as one can get for a community-oriented restaurant. I will acknowledge my bias since I've been coming here most of my life. I love the warm greetings from everyone in the family (who I consider family of my own). Not only do they take great care to address any dietary restrictions, but they remember your favorite orders and voice if you call/visit enough times. My go-to is the mole poblano or chile relleno, which blends a lot of the best characteristics of Mesoamerican food together. They also have amazing carnita tacos and nonalcoholic drinks. Don't forget to ask about some of the local social causes they are supporting, as they ran a full mutual aid pantry through the COVID-19 pandemic. All in all, this is a mainstay for our Mott Haven community.

DELICIOUS chocolate mole and fresh tortillas. Practice your Spanish! They'll love it!

A friend of mine was so excited ordering from them as an original Authentic Mexican food and we went to pick the food up. The lady was so generous kept adding more food for free while we were insisting on paying for the extras but she was super generous. We left the restaurant with a great vibe and a wonderful experience. Their original Mexican dishes are unmatched and we kept eating without stop until we finished the load of the food we bought. They are very good in their community and they donate lots of food. Super sweet people serving a great tasty food. I am totally hocked to that place from now on.

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 lovely, generous and giving family. All that they make they give back to the community. Their mission is to serve. Going there you get a meal and inspiration to become a better person. And their food is delicious.

Authentic Mexican food finally. A great variety of flavors in so many dishes. I highly recommended. We live in the lower east side and it’s 100% worth the trip.
