Riverdale is sort of an exception because a lot of the residents are Manhattanites originally, from Westchester, or grew up in Riverdale, and have an attachment to Manhattan or Westchester, so they go there to have dinner or whatever, but locally, most of these Bronx neighborhoods just don't cut it. Am thinking it comes down to the restaurants themselves opening up shop and not having a clue of how to run a business. How hard is it to prepare drinks and cook good food? Have seen *several* locations open up in Riverdale, only to close up shop less than a year later.
Many restaurateurs have dreams about running a restaurant but are short on business skills. It's one of those kinds of businesses that are easy to lose ones shirt.

My personal good restaurants in the Bronx is basically one old Jewish deli in Riverdale (not healthy at all), several places on and around Arthur Avenue in Belmont, a few great Mexican places in the South Bronx, a few Vietnamese places in Bedford Park, and two Bangladeshi places in Parkchester. Bruckner Boulevard has sprouted some nice places that are quite bougie, but they're more great for the area than just great overall. Of these, I think only two Mexican places in the South Bronx (and another one that used to be there, but moved to Brooklyn) and three Arthur Avenue places are actually in the great restaurants territory.

I'm wondering what are other places in the Bronx have great restaurants and what some of those are.
Are Mexicocina and La Morada the restaurants you're talking about?

If anything, I bring the area median income DOWN where I live, so thank me instead of berating me for my lifestyle choices. And FYI, I only live here because I want my dog to have a decent life. What's wrong with that again? Tell me how many people are going to open up their apartments to a 40 year old with a dog? Tell me how many places I can even afford to rent on my own? Stop being a dick.
Alright relax. I grant you permission to live in Park Slope guilt-free.

La Morada definitely. Best Oaxacan and possibly all around Mexican in the city. There are several very good Mexican places in the South Bronx and with one other nearly as good.

It might be one of the only Oaxacan places in NYC, for that matter. Which is interesting because there are many people from Oaxaca in NYC.

I can't wait to try it!
