Travesias

Nestled on East Tremont Avenue in the vibrant Bronx neighborhood of Morris Park, Travesias invites diners to embark on a culinary journey through Latin America. The restaurant’s façade is adorned with colorful murals depicting scenes from Mexico, Peru, and Argentina, while the interior blends modern wood tones with rustic tile backsplashes and a lively open‑kitchen where chefs grill carne asada and sauté fragrant sofrito. Guests are greeted by the aroma of freshly made corn tortillas and the sizzle of chorizo, and the menu showcases house‑made empanadas stuffed with spiced beef, sweet plantain, and cheese, as well as a citrus‑bright ceviche de camarón marinated in lime and cilantro. Signature dishes such as the Argentine churrasco, Peruvian lomo saltado, and Colombian arepas are complemented by a selection of tropical cocktails, including a passion‑fruit mojito and a smoky mezcal margarita. Travesias operates Monday through Saturday from 12:00 pm to 10:00 pm and Sunday from 1:00 pm to 9:00 pm, offering a moderate price range of $15‑$30 per entrée. The restaurant is a short walk from the Bronx River Greenway and just minutes from the Bronx Zoo, making it an ideal stop after a day of exploring the borough. Friendly staff speak both English and Spanish, and the lively atmosphere is enhanced by Latin music and occasional live salsa performances. Whether you’re seeking a quick lunch, a family dinner, or a venue for a private celebration, Travesias delivers authentic flavors, generous portions, and warm hospitality in the heart of the Bronx.
