Seis Vecinos Restaurant

With a focus on authentic cuisine from Central America and Mexico, Seis Vecinos’ name translates to "six neighbors" in Spanish, referring to the neighboring countries of Central America (El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Guatemala) in relation to Mexico. Owner Jennifer Canales is of Honduran and Mexican descent, and opened the restaurant in her South Bronx community to highlight the neighborhood’s creative blending of diverse ingredients and traditions. Popular dishes include the baleada, cheese stuffed pupusas, cuajada, and oxtail.
