La Cueva Fonda is a hidden gem in Longwood! The food is absolutely incredible, and the prices are unbeatable. I've been coming here for years, and everything I've tried has been delicious. The burritos with Camarones, steak, chicken – they're all amazing, and the tacos are fantastic too!

The best Al pastor tacos ever. I live in BK and whenever I’m in the neighborhood I absolutely force myself to get these tacos. Birria Landia in Williamsburg, taqueria Ramirez in Greenpoint and La Cueva Fonda in the Bronx are just my favorite for tacos all round in NYC.

The only less good thing was the Caesar salad, which we probably should have known better than to order, and the cafe de olla tasted kind of watered down with not much coffee taste, but I've never had it before so I'm not sure what it be like.
I would definitely go again so...
