BRONX, N.Y. - Tucked in a quiet corner in the Longwood section of the Bronx, the dishes served at this Central American restaurant are making a lot of noise, earning a favorable mention in the coveted Michelin guide.
"So far everything is amazing. This is some of the best food I’ve had," said Victor Martinez, a diner.
It’s called Seis Vecinos, Spanish for “six neighbors.” A nod to Mexico and the five countries in Central America. Starting next week, dining at the fusion eatery will be more affordable, thanks to Savor the Bronx, the borough’s version of Restaurant Week. It offers 12 days of discounted prices and in some cases free extras, like a complimentary glass of wine or dessert. This is the first time Seis Vecinos is taking part.
"There’s just so much rich flavor and culture already found here in the Bronx. We just need a larger spotlight," said Omar Canales, Social Media Manager at Seis Canales.
The Bronx Tourism Council launched Savor the Bronx nine years ago. Back then many wondered if people from outside the borough would participate. Only about 20 restaurants signed up. Now, 45 are taking part. Organizers say every year, the crowds get bigger and the diners come from further away.
"So it's great for them to be able to participate and give people a savings and bring in some new clients," said Olga Luz Tirado, Executive Director at Bronx Tourism Council.
