Where to eat in The Bronx: Caribbean kitchens, Latin food and the grocery runs

A working guide to eating in The Bronx, from Caribbean and West African kitchens to Latin food and the grocery shops that stock the rest. Each with its own number.

The Bronx feeds itself from the independents: the Caribbean kitchen on the corner, the panadería with the line out the door, the grocery that has the exact thing your recipe needs. This is a run through the independent kitchens and food shops across the borough, each with its own phone number, so you can check the hours or put an order in before you head over.

Before you go

Hours at the smaller kitchens and shops move around, and the best patties and bakery items go early, so call first. Every number here is the business's own.
