  • Habana Outpost: Taste the Best of Mexico and Cuba

    Want another bite?

    Going down Fort Greene in Brooklyn lies a mouthwatering Mexican and Cuban Restaurant. Habana Outpost, coated in a neon lime green. Immediately when you walk the interior is gorgeous. Brick lined walls covered in bright graffiti art. There was two options for seating to choose between. The first was picnic benches outside (which was definitely a no go in late October) and the booths inside. The ordering system is a bit intriguing. You order your food inside but then go to the back of the restaurant to pick up your meal from what seems to be a food truck. My videos don’t show any wheels but some photos from the web clearly show a food truck.

    Now while I don’t remember exactly what I ordered, I do know I tore that food up. In a time of “let’s get crab legs” or only having burgers left, right and center, Habana Outpost was a breath of fresh air. Based on my old photos and the menu I somehow saved, I’d wager a guess that I ordered a grilled chicken breast bowl served with rice & beans, field greens, pico de gallo, salsa verde, sweet plantains, a side of chips & salsa and a frozen piña colada. All this for a little over $20. Of course it didn’t include the drink because you know everywhere charges you a pinky for it.

    As of writing this post, Habana Outpost on Fulton is closed for the season and will return in April.

  • Delicious Mexican Cuisine In The Heart Of NYC

    Tortazo is a restaurant located in the heart of NYC, is great to have a nice brunch, lunch or dinner with good friends, your partner or by yourself. They have amazing food, good service, and the vibes, aesthetic and cozy atmosphere from this place are to die for. Oh, and they are also affordable!

    Moreover, my friends and I couldn’t resist and order a variety of things. We first ordered an appetizer, the Potato-Poblano flautas that were very tasty and crunchy. Then we had our main meal where we ordered two tortas, the Crispy Chicken Milanesa and the Chipotle-Roasted Chicken. These sandwiches were absolutely delicious and had an authentic Mexican flavor. The quesadillas were also amazing, the Chicken Bacon quesadilla and the combination with the salsa is heavenly. 

    Furthermore, we wanted some mojitos, but they didn’t have any. The server recommended the Hemingway Daiquiri because it was “similar”. But it wasn’t it was really strong and bitter, and we didn’t get to really enjoy them like we wanted too. However, their churros were the start of the night, we ordered the almost naked chocolate and the fully dressed caramel churros. The churros were had the right amount of sweetness. 

    My point is, go and check this place out, you won’t regret it. The food is fire and do yourself a favor and try the churros.
