Don Moy Deli Grocery

When I used to live in Brooklyn, I would always do my laundry across the street from this place, and would always find myself eating the nachos here. AMAZING!!!

It always stops me in my tracks no matter where I happen to be, a red, white, and green awning coupled with the simple phrase «antojitos mexicanos.» The promise of a small kitchen pumping out delicious tamales, sopes, and tacos is always too much to refuse.
Don Moy is a very tiny and cute bodega that spends most of its effort on the kitchen. A couple menus on the wall list the different kinds of sopes, gorditas, and hamburgers, but the kitchen can prepare much more, including everything already mentioned. I went straight for the sope de pollo ($ 4) which had a very special chicken going for it. Stewed in a medium-​spicy sauce, it slowly mixes with the crema to create a perfect pink mess.
The tortilla and layer of beans are both thinner than I would prefer, but the meat certainly makes up for this. I would probably get a dish next time that incorporated this chicken in another way, in a taco or gordita. It wants to be the star.
The house green sauce is weirdly slimy, and underwhelming to be sure. It can remain unused if all the meats are as good as the chicken. Friendly service is key here, and quality ingredients seem to pervade. Don’t expect anything but iceberg lettuce, but that’s nothing if not the norm. The grocery is also loaded with snacks that possess interesting flavors not found at any Key Food or Associated.
