 Lopez Bakery traffics in a wide assortment of pan dulche, as well as basic, good whole wheat and white loaves and various pastries––fruit tarts, cookies, elaborately frosted cakes––some of which are better than others. But what you really should be ordering from this small,... More >> |

 There are eight varieties of the Vietnamese sandwich called banh mi at Ba Xuyen, which moved across Sunset Park to comfortable premises with more than two tables. Our fave is heaped with meatballs, pickled veggies, and cilantro, and we always ask them to squirt on extra chile sauce. But maybe... More >> |

 Find all the charms of a shabby Puerto Rican lunch counter: wobbly stools, linoleum counters, a chatty crowd, no-nonsense counter ladies and their nonchalant way of hacking at the roast pork shoulder for a plate of pernil. The menu offers hearty standbys such as mofongo, arroz con pollo, and... More >> |

Situated on a drab block, this tiny Dominican lunch counter doesn't look like anything much. The fanciest thing about it is the enormous flat-screen TV that plays Yankees games in high-def. But feast your eyes on the pernil—great hunks of garlicky pork, burnished in spots, crowned with a... More >> |

 Profusely decorated with neon, the city's best lowland Ecuadoran favors seafood of the coast, including perfect soupy ceviches littered with toasted corn nuts, assembling every conceivable combo of octopus, shrimp, corvina, and the national favorite of black clam. As suggested by the glowing pig... More >> |

 It looks like a convenience store, but one side of the shop is dedicated to a small kitchen where two cooks whip up tortas, tacos, huaraches and other snacks. There are 20 varieties of madly overstuffed tortas, including the Cubana, which is filled with cecina, ham, cheese and hot dogs... More >> |

 This small, sweet neighborhood restaurant is a nice place for a plate of homemade pasta with seasonal vegetables, or some sausage and a glass of wine. Chef Scott Bridi makes all the charcuterie and pastas by hand, and he has a thing for neck. He fashions dry-cured sausage from pork and lamb... More >> |

 The awning still reads El Centenario Grocery and Deli, but all the shelves have now been taken out to make way for a fully formed restaurant, an outgrowth of what started as a small taco counter in back of the bodega. The usual standards are here??overstuffed tortas, quesadillas, mole... More >> |

 The waitresses double as dance hall girls and twirl the patrons around the room in a two-step as the jukebox booms. I'd go again for the dishes featuring cecina, the dried and salted beef favored in southern Mexico. At Tacos 2004—hey guys, the name already needs an update—the beef is... More >> |

 The Salvadoran snacks are wonderful, if confusing: enchiladas are crisp frisbees of meat, roughage, and crema resembling Mexican tostadas, while pasteles are really empanadas with a fried masa crust. The chicken soup is superb, though the best dish is salpicon, a tart meat salad laced with... More >> |
