Rachel's Taqueria

Rachel's Taqueria is one of the best Taquerias & Mexican restaurants in Brooklyn and in NYC. The restaurant puts a fresh spin on classic mexican food. Serving delicious dishes such as campesino-style burritos, ancho-chile-marinated rotisserie chicken and deeply savory barbacoa. In all honesty though, my favorite reason to go is for the $4 margaritas (YUM!).

Rachel’s vibrantly muraled, postered, and photo-collaged walls house a generous handful of self-serve tables. Portions are huge, prices are reasonable, and staff is friendly.

Gino's Restaurant

Best Italian Restaurant in Bay Ridge = Gino's

If you are a Booklynite, you have been to Ginos. What first started off as a pizzeria in 1964, has now turned into one of Brooklyn's best finds. 

Amazing pizza and pasta, fresh meat and great wine. Can it get any better!?

Some other restaurants in the area, such as Peppino's and Vesvio's, try to compete but none have succeeded. Do I ever see it happening? No.

Now instead of taking about the food, I decided to just let the pictures do the talking this time. Enjoy.
