Cienaga Grocery And Deli Oaxaca

Real homemade Mexican food of Oaxaca, made in Corona, Queens. 2 minutes north on Corona Avenue from the 108^th Street exit of the Expressway. Everything is freshly made. They have a homemade fresh tortilla press which you should see.
Max’s wife and mother-​lin-​law plan to make tortillas from real maiz, or nixtamal. The real deal, probably in a month or two. Meanwhile, they offer very well-​seasoned (not just spicy) treats such as Empanada Oaxacena Amarillo sauce with chicken with hoja santa, an indescribably delicious herb. Tlayudas, big papadum-​crisp homemade tortillas with black bean mash, sauce, and cheese. Oh, yeah… I bought five fist-​fulls of dried chipotle chilis for $ 2.00. These fine people with big plans deserve your business. They have generous hearts. Now, an eatery, some time soon, a restaurant.
