Carreon Grocery Deli 7.8
Inwood
Carreon Grocery Deli is a tiny Inwood Mexican deli where Birria Thursday brings a rotating lineup that now includes birria ramen. It’s more corner grocery than restaurant, but the consomé-heavy ramen and tacos deliver serious flavor for a low-key counter-service meal.
Must-Try Dishes: Birria Ramen, Birria Tacos, Lobster Grilled Cheese
