Combine the inexpensive, delicious tacos from Taqueria y Fonda with the upscale tapas bar ambiance of Buceo 95 and you've got the newly opened Cascabel Taqueria on the corner of 108th and Broadway (previously Lime Leaf).
Instead of the hodgepodge of tables that cluster outside of restaurants lining Broadway, Cascabel's storefront is almost like a backyard patio. Brightly cushioned benches and seasonal plants surround a single table for waiting customers, keeping the space open and airy. Walk in, and the entire restaurant gives a similar feeling. Cascabel forgoes traditional walls on its street sides in favor of glass panels that fold away, making customers feel like they’re both part of the restaurant and the bustling street outside---a brilliant illusion that made us think that we were dining in a much, much larger restaurant.
