CUCHIFRITOS!!!!!

OK.....now you can find one of these spots in any neighborhood in New York, but this one I take a BUS just to get some of what they have to offer. Need to feed yourself or a family of four (4) and foe CHEAP!, well this is your place. It's called La Isla Cuchifritos.

No formal seating but a few stools to sit only but just the view from the window will make your mouth WATER. Feed your whole family for about $20 bucks! Don't get intimidated when you walk in if you don't speak Spanish because the workers here are all friendly and speak enough English to understand you. Try the roast chicken w/ rice and beans if your unfamiliar or if you have some understanding of Latin cuisine try the tripe and pigs feet soup. Don't forget to wash it all down with some coconut juice or tamarind juice! La Isla Cuchifritos gets a score of 10!

Their Menu


RASTA PASTA!!!!!!!

Caribbean treats mixed with some influence from French cuisine, Footprints Cafe in Flatbush Brooklyn keeps em' coming back for more! Not only known for the Rasta Pasta, they play host as the after party spot where karaoke and always say Footprints is the place to be after to finish the night. I've tried many Caribbean dishes and restaurants before but not only is the food here great!, but the atmosphere is soooo inviting and filled with fun that coming back is a given.

TACO NIGHT!!!!

I love to dine @ places that the food can be shared amongst the table. BURRITO BAR in Park Slope, Brooklyn is just the place. In the warmer months the outside seating makes you feel as though your not sitting in Brooklyn but in Mexico enjoying the nightlife at a local bar. Burrito Bar also offers something for everyone from tacos, burritos, salads, vegetarian dishes, and celebrity inspired smoothies like, "Tina Turners Addiction" and "Beatles's Mania".

Burrito Bar is the perfect place to entertain or just dine with friends or family and have a good time! Good Drinks+Good Food=Good Time! Who wouldn't want to try deep fried ice cream (oh my!)

The menu makes it soooooo hard to decide what to eat! Guacamole, min burritos, tuna ceviche or stuffed jalapenos? What is a girl to do? Oh and they have Deep Fried Ice Cream! haha....
Eat In or Take Out Burrito Bar is the place to eat freely and good. :)

Stuffed Jalapenos wrapped W/bacon

Not Georgia's Peaches.

They call it a "Brooklyn Country Cafe", offering a variety of southern classics, market fresh food, and delicious salads which makes choosing from the menu tough. PEACHES is small and quaint tucked into Bedford-Stuyvesant
                                                                                       Brooklyn!After riding past this place several dozen times and not knowing what it was but why is was so crowed I decided to stop and see what the buzz was about. Well guess what! It was a stop I'm glad I made. PEACHES gets a score of 9 from me.
