Tradition, Flavor, Family
A Mexican Feast in the South Bronx
When Antonio Vilchis opened Mexicocina in a tiny spot on E. 149th St. in 2008, his goal was just to make a living, he says. But the blend of brightly colored decor and south-central Mexican food proved to be so successful, that Vilchis and his business partner Ismael Gonzales now run two restaurants in the South Bronx, both bigger than the now-shuttered original.
Rooted in Culture, Connected to Community
At Mexicocina, our passion goes beyond the plate. We are proud to share the rich traditions of Mexican culture through every dish, every flavor, and every guest experience. Our restaurant is a gathering place where stories are shared, and connections are made. From supporting local events to celebrating heritage, we’re honored to serve not just food—but the heart of our community.
What Sets Us Apart
Authenticity lives in every detail — from time-honored recipes to the warmth of a shared meal. What makes us different is our deep respect for tradition, our commitment to fresh, quality ingredients, and the way we treat every guest like family. It’s not just about serving food; it’s about creating a space where culture, care, and connection thrive.
