    El Cochinito

    The look of this place does not give a good first impression. But if your looking for GREAT spanish food, then this is the place to go. They have so many customers that the food is always being replenished. There are many choices for your take-out or dining in experience. Rice, beans, pork, chicken, plantains, Cuban sanwiches, etc. I love the empanadillas. They offer a variety, which include beef, chicken or pizza for only $1.25. Not to mention the regino de papa...yum!

    Simple Ñame with chicken (fall off the bone)

    Great yuca alcapurrias, best in town IMHO. I wish they were open later. Prices is pretty good at $2 a piece.

    They don't always cook with fresh meat. Bought pork chops today and they looked pink in the inside and the smell was awful

    The Best Jamaican Food on Earth…read more I've been coming here forever and the food is unlike anywhere else I have ever been. I have been to Jamaica and nothing is close. I have brought friends here who live/ lived in Jamaica and they are blown away. I also lived in the Jamacian area in Harlem and never found a Jamaican Restaurant even close to this place. The staff are friendly and get the food out quickly. There is almost a couple people there and they have no problem handling the traffic. Place definitely has a vibe. Bonus it is down by Seaside Park so when it's warm enough I love grabbing my food to go and eating it in the park. Food: -Jerk Chicken This is by far my go to. If you can't handle a LOT of heat then this is not for you. 1st time my wife had it she couldn't hang but I made her try it again and again and eventually she built a tolerance and absolutely loves it. -Curry Goat My 2nd Favorite. Not too much heat and very tasty. Careful of the bones but the flavor is incredible. If you can't handle the heat of the Jerk this is a great option. -Stewed Chicken Good option. I don't get it too often as I prefer the Jerk but if I'm not in the mood for the heat or just want to switch it up this is another amazingly flavorful option. -Jamaican Patty's All of them are great Spicy or Mild Beef, Chicken, Veggie I usually get a patty with my order and rotate my choice with my mood or what looks best that day. Final Thoughts If you haven't been to Rootsman you don't know what Real Jamaican Food is. Get here ASAP!! Caution: Food is Amazing & Addictive

    Really love the curry goat and chicken! The value is pretty good for the portions you get. Also…read morelove the jerk chicken patties.
