I will say that the joint does the country that it bears on its namesake proud (i.e. Mexico)... as the people who run this joint churn out some of the tastiest tacos the north side of the border. "No good Mexican food on the east coast!" you snobby snobby west coasters on your high horses may exclaim?!? Hmph, we'll go back to dreaming in your little bubble over there... cold weather builds character... living here generates grit (we were built to survive, thrive, and discover the exceptions to your flawed maxims). As well as providing tasty wares, they also carry some essential toiletries, over the counter meds, and prophylactic rubbers (if you're in a bind). Def the spot to direct your loyalty too if you're residing in the immediate vicinity.

Any day, at any time, I can go into Pom's for a salad with a bunch of toppings to choose from, a baconeggncheese, coffee, candy, pastries etc. I'm trying to get skinny for my bday in a few weeks so tonight, I tried a mango smoothie. Not the best I've ever had but it wasn't the worst either and at 230AM, it was the only Smoothie in town. I like that the grill is 24/7 as well, unlike many deli's that stop serving hot, cooked food during certain hours. Pom's is cool.

The homemade agua fresca (lime cucumber) was refreshingly delicious and their homemade guacamole was delicious too! I didn't opt for their homemade chips, wish I did. All in all, a quintessentially New York place that I hope lives forever. Yes I did buy myself a bottle of salsa verde to bring home at the same time while waiting for my food.

It's really not much of a grocery store for me, but they offer home cooked hot Dominican food. It's take out only. The ambiance.....well, there is none and it's not fancy but they did offer a lot of interesting hot food. I have so far tried their soup which was a stick to your rib type of soup. This soup had everything in it literally, beef, pork, chicken, plantains, yucca, etc. This was really a tasty hearty soup. I would label it as a cold day winter soup. I ordered some chicharron type of stew that was cut up and cooked in a tangy red pepper type of sauce ladled over white rice. It was really good. It's a plate I would order again. I have also ordered their pork with chick peas with rice and beans. I enjoyed that one too. So far I haven't had anything I didn't like. They offer an array of stews, baked chicken plates, empanadas, plantains plus more. It's different everyday. They do have decent choices. When I went there everything looked fresh and bright. I went around 11:00a just before the lunch crowd. I asked the person who was serving the food who cooked it and he said his mother did. So in actuality I am able to enjoy his mother's cooking . I am always on a quest to look for really delicious home cooked food in the neighborhood and I feel that I found one.
