Handmade tortillas, tacos al pastor and carnitas, huitlacoche quesadillas and fresh-fruit margaritas — on a string-lit patio in East Harlem.
La Cocina de Mamá is a traditional, authentic Mexican restaurant at 154 East 109th Street in East Harlem. Guests love the tender meats, the homemade tortillas and the warm, cozy feeling — like eating at home.
