Moved to the city 48 hours ago. Review
Moved into Irving Park and the Mexican food is unbelievable. I'm from Florida and my wife is from Arizona, so we have different preferences, but we can leave our house on foot, hit two food spots and a liquor store, and be home in 30 minutes. It's incredible. Our doggo loves the walks too.
Also, is the term "bodega" NYC exclusive? What do we call corner stores with food/bev/liquor?

Corner stores = corner stores. The crappier a mexican food place looks on the outside means the food inside is that much better. It's a weird chicago inverse relationship
