Munchies The Best Taste

I happened to be in the Bronx, and I wanted someplace where I could sit and eat. I was aiming away from Latino food, but Munchies also serves Latino food. However, they also serve other things, such as burgers. I chose a burger and fries combo with a medium-sized cherry juice.

The burger and fries were nothing special but good. The fries were crispy. There was only one container of ketchup available, but that was probably sufficient since there are only about five seats total. It isn't a restaurant in the typical sense of sit-down.

The burger was very messy towards the end, so I ended up with a crescent moon's worth of bread that I couldn't eat because there was no more meat. There's no bathroom, so I used drinking water over the trash to rinse my hands from the sauces from the burger. The cherry juice wasn't a color I thought it would be, but it was tasty. I can't say if it was cherry or not, because I'm not quite sure what cherry is supposed to taste like in juice form.

Munchies is very small - very mom and pop. The cooking area is rather small, so it did take some time for the food to come out, even though there was only one person in front of me. That's probably a good thing, because at least I know it's fresh. The kitchen could definitely use a thorough cleaning to remove all of the grease from the stainless steel.

Overall, it's an okay spot if you're in a pinch and don't want to eat Popeye's or Burger King. When I noticed that it was definitely still a predominantly Latino food restaurant, I thought of leaving because I was not in the mood for Latino food. However, in that area, there really isn't much else, so this was my best option. Would I go again? I wouldn't intentionally choose to, but if I was in the area again and needed to eat non-Latino food, it might still be the best spot for me. If I wanted Latino food, there are a bunch of other restaurants in the area that I would choose first.

FYI - very helpful to know some Spanish.
