188 Bakery Cuchifritos
Forty-plus years of Puerto Rican fry-counter glory under the Fordham lights — the steam table and fry case do the talking.
Order: Pernil with arroz con gandules, plus an alcapurria straight from the fry case. Point at what looks good; it all is.

El Nuevo Bohio Lechonera
A Tremont lechonera where whole roast pork gets chopped to order behind the glass. One of the best cheap plates in the borough, full stop.
Order: Pernil chopped to order — ask for cuerito (crispy skin) — with arroz con gandules. Grab pastelillos for the road.

Full Moon Pizza
Belmont's corner slice shop since 1976, still family-run. This is the neighborhood's everyday pizza, not the tourist stop.
Order: A plain cheese slice at the counter — thin, foldable, done right. Add a Sicilian square if you're hungry.

Louie & Ernie's Pizza
A tiny house-front parlor in Schuylerville that pizza obsessives cross boroughs for, slinging thin-crust pies since 1959. Worth the detour off the Arthur Ave axis.
Order: The sausage pie — fist-sized chunks of fresh pork-store sausage. The white pie with ricotta is the other move.

Mike's Deli
The counter inside the Arthur Avenue Retail Market that's been feeding Belmont for 80-plus years. Heroes built like structural engineering, eaten at market tables surrounded by cheese and sawdust.
Order: Eggplant parmigiana hero — or let them build you a prosciutto-and-fresh-mozzarella combo and eat it at the tables inside the market.

Taqueria Tlaxcalli
Parkchester's CDMX-style taqueria, going since 2006 and beloved well beyond the neighborhood. Handmade tortillas, no shortcuts.
Order: Tacos al pastor on handmade tortillas with a horchata. The quesadillas are the sleeper.

Borgatti's Ravioli & Egg Noodles
Same family, same 187th Street storefront since 1935 — egg noodles cut to your chosen width on the original machine, and ravioli by the box for the freezer.
Order: A box of jumbo cheese ravioli and fresh fettuccine cut #3; they will cut noodles to any width you ask.

Casa Della Mozzarella
Orazio Carciotto's shop pulls mozzarella by hand all day on Arthur Avenue's 187th Street — still warm if you time it right, and the basis of a legendary sandwich.
Order: A ball of unsalted mozzarella still warm from the pull, or the Ciccio special sandwich if you're eating now.

Teitel Brothers
Jewish-family-run Italian grocery anchoring Arthur Avenue since 1915 — barrels of olives, hanging provolone, and tins of tomatoes and olive oil at prices Manhattan cannot touch.
Order: Whatever imported olive oil is on the sidewalk deal, a pound of oil-cured olives, and pecorino cut off the wheel.
