    Clearly, I loved the sandwich, lol.. Good fries
    Shay D.

    My first time having anything from here and not my last. I ordered on a whim on Uber Eats because I was craving something delicious yet healthy. The oysters mushroom sandwich was *chef's kiss*!! Fried,yet not greasy and seasoned to perfection on a pretzel bun. The accompanying sweet potato fries were quite good and not soggy... I've experienced this more times than I can count. I'm intrigued and looking forward to ordering something else off the menu.

    If you're in the Canarsie area, you HAVE to check out Spread Love and Eat--this place is a true hidden gem! I recently tried the spicy chicken wrap with a side of sweet potato fries, and everything was absolutely delicious. The wrap was packed with flavor, and the chicken was perfectly seasoned and tender. The sweet potato fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside--exactly how they should be! What really sets this spot apart is the homemade sauces. They make everything in-house, and the combo of BBQ, cilantro lime, and spicy sauce is amazing. I found myself dipping everything into them--they just complement each other so well! The flavors are bold, fresh, and vibrant, and you can taste the quality in every bite. The owner was super friendly and welcoming--he even told me that the BBQ pesto salmon is one of his personal favorites, so I'm definitely coming back to try that next. It's also nice to support a Black-owned, Caribbean-owned (Haitian-owned, specifically) business that's putting love and care into every dish. The whole vibe of the place is really inviting, and you can tell they genuinely want to serve good food to their community. I ate the whole wrap and fries--no regrets! Can't wait to go back and try more of their offerings. Highly recommend it!

    Not going to lie, when I saw the lace and how small it is, I didn't expect much. However, I was blown away by the service and the food. They were very kind and made suggestions to my food. I hate mushrooms but eating the Kentucky Fried Mushrooms was very delicious and change my mind, slightly. The Pan Seared Steak with the fries, divine! Will definitely go back and suggest this place to everyone!

    04/22/23: Supporting local neighborhood business. Stopped in to pick up food for my son. Decided on the shrimp tacos. Menu sees Ma to have expand since the first time I tried. Staff pleasant. Small and cozy with about 5-6 barstools. Items range between vegan and healthier side. Tofu scramble, cauliflower sandwich, vegan tacos. Has creative items such as churro pancakes may try one of the days. Food prepared fresh to order. Shrimp tacos were ok. Nothing over the top but a good option over McDonald's or bodega sandwiches. Will return for other options.

    My friend Pinar and I recently found this gem in Brooklyn during a birthday weekend in the city. The owner, Rony, turned out to be the true jewel of our entire four-day vacation. We visited twice--once for dinner and once for a late breakfast/early lunch--so we tried many items. Rony is a Haitian American veteran and symbolizes what makes our country great when it's truly realized and accepted. Now, on to the food... During our first visit, we tried the Toona Salad, the vegan steak with steamed rice and green beans, and the plantains. During the second visit, three days later, we ordered the chickpea curry, apple oats, and the tofu scramble wrap. You can tell by the pictures how delightfully everything is presented, and the flavor was a hundredfold as good. I'm not vegan or vegetarian like my friend, who has been vegan for many years, but I wasn't missing anything. I've loved mushrooms and tofu my whole meat-eating life, and when correctly marinated and prepared, both are textural marvels, ranging from delicate and custardy to deep-fried and crunchy. Their unmatched flavor-absorbing powers make mushrooms and tofu a blank canvas waiting for the artist to make their mark. Rony Theodore is such an artist; he created all of these wonderful flavors and recipes. I can see why, as we enjoyed our meals, there were people constantly picking up to-go orders. He never missed a beat acknowledging their presence and keeping the customers engaged during our entire visit, both times. The staff is friendly and top-notch; you can tell they feel appreciated and part of the family. The chickpeas in the Toona Salad provide a low-glycemic protein option that I couldn't have imagined before trying it. Growing up military, I've had my fair share of tuna sandwiches, and I'm happy to have the chickpea version from now on. The plantains and their special sauce weren't sweet or glazed like I've had in the past, and I appreciate being able to enjoy them lightly fried without any extra sugar; like Rony, they're sweet enough as they come. The chickpea curry was super flavorful, and the texture was perfection. The green beans were sautéed flawlessly both times and flavored with garlic, as they should be. I only had a bite of the apples and oats before Pinar polished off the entire bowl in under four minutes--seriously... I'm mad about it. Did you only need a great latte? Don't miss out on the God-tier espresso machine and burr grinder; the staff is trained to make amazing macchiatos along with several other espresso- or coffee-based beverages. Also worth mentioning are the various coconut waters in the fridge towards the back of the restaurant. I've never been a fan of coconut water, but I bought a case of the bottled version because it's really like having someone hand you a coconut with a straw during an island getaway. Hearing the Haitian language spoken by Rony to his staff gave me some smooth-brain feelings; it's such a beautiful language. I'm fairly certain Brooklyn has a plethora of Caribbean-themed restaurants, but with respect to the others, this one stands out well above anything I've tried before. You can tell this establishment appeals to a healthier crowd, being located directly across from a large gym. Everyone is friendly inside and out, and all of the locally made artwork will keep your attention as you wait for your meal. Stop by on your next trip to Brooklyn and do yourself a favor: spread the love and eat healthy. You won't miss the calories or the cholesterol, and you might make a friend for life, as I did.

    Cauliflower Sandwich/ With Fries

    The best sandwich I've had in a long time. About halfway through I thought to myself this is better than eating chicken because I feel so much lighter eating it, it's softer, and it taste just as good if not better. Their sauces are great, and I really like the bbq sauce they use. Really fresh food with great seasoning. I'll be dining here again. Service was also great, with my server noting if it was my first time and recommended that I should sign up for their rewards which was really nice. The ambiance was great, from the art to the flowers. And they had samples out for their lemonade which was flavorful and mild.

    Food is great. Staff is excellent. It takes a little while to get your food because it's all made fresh.So ordering ahead is a good idea. No Mc'y D's here but well worth the wait !!! I asked if they had a sampler plate ...BECAUSE I WANTED TO TRY 5 DIFFERENT THINGS !!! Next time...Kentucky fried mushrooms. Oh yeah...FOOD WAS AWESOME !!!

    I was excited when I saw this new spot show up in the neighborhood. Much needed addition to the neighborhood. It opened April 1st and yesterday I got to try them out. On the menu there are sandwiches, salads, and warm bowls. The selections are limited but looked good. I ordered the salmon pesto bbq sandwich. It took some time to prepare, everything was being prepared fresh. The sandwich was nicely packed with a flower. The sandwich was delicious. Salmon was cooked to perfection. It was a bit pricey but I would definitely have this again and try other items from the menu.

The homemade corn tortillas were fresh and flavorful, and the adobada was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with flavor. I also tried the carne asada tacos, which were good but definitely overshadowed by the adobada. Each taco came topped with onions, cilantro, guacamole, and salsa. Just a heads-up--the salsa packs some serious heat! Overall, this place completely lived up to the hype. If you're in the area and don't mind waiting in line, it's absolutely worth it.

We had our usual list of spots in Midtown East, but this time we wanted something a little different. We ultimately landed on Mexican, however even then there were several spots to chose from. One of my colleagues found CdM, and since we had nothing to lose we decided to check it out. In terms of physical space at CdM, there is very little; this is actually a walk-up spot hence it is solely a takeout restaurant. The menu is pretty straightforward - lots of Mexican staples with a good variety to choose from. The burrito bowl looked good so I decided to go with that - I was given choice of protein (I chose pastor) and types of beans (I chose black). The bowl was really good - all the ingredients tasted fresh and they were generous with the portion. They added sour cream to the top of the bowl and it came with a side of salsa verde which I thought was a nice touch. We also ordered some bags of tortilla chips to share - these were my favorite kind as they were semi-thick and super crunchy. Overall, I had a solid experience at Cinco de Mayo. It definitely hit the Mexican craving spot and I would have no qualms returning for another meal.

The birria tacos were really good (or so my son said) but sadly the taquitos were terrible. They literally just had unseasoned shredded chicken (but serves me right for ordering something so basic).

I managed to choose the two best-sounding items I could find, and honestly, they were so bland I don't even remember what they were. The setup and decor were basic. This spot could be a fun hangout, but it would take a better menu and staff who actually seem to care. It feels like just another restaurant that's lost sight of creating an actual experience for guests. The lack of vibe is obvious--if you don't want customers, just say so. I'm giving 2 stars out of respect for the fact that people have to work for a living.

I didn't see any but saw buckets for umbrellas. I opted not to leave it there since I didn't wanna forget or risk someone taking it. I took it upstairs with me. My friend had arrived and was seated. Apparently, they do offer sleeves because she got one. But the 3 people who were at the hostess booth failed to offer me one. The beautiful ambiance will get your attention immediately. It is a stunning space. The tableware was gorgeous as well. We waited for our last friend to arrive who was almost half an hour late before ordering (we thought she'd arrive sooner). Our server, Matias was gracious about it the whole time. What we ordered: Drinks: Passionfruit Margaritas & Mojito - we were happy with them. Tlayudas, Guacamole y Salsas - this was really good and a great option for the table to share. The homemade chips alone were excellent. Liked all the different dips. Guac could've used some cilantro and more acid/spice. Tán Ceviche - I loved this. Super fresh and great flavor. Could use a touch of acid. My entree was the Shrimp & Crab Enchiladas - This was pretty good. The sauce could've used some spice and some acid to cut through the richness. My friend ordered the Yellow Corn Soup as part of her meal and she did not like it. She said it was too sweet which I thought was strange. I tried a spoonful and I agreed with her. It needed a savory note and again, acid would've done wonders. Also, the crab was a bit fishy in this. She enjoyed her tamal though. I tried a touch of the sauce and it was delish. My other friend had the Quesabirria which she was also happy with. To sum up: Ambiance: 5/5 The space is undoubtedly gorgeous. Food: 4/5 Beautiful presentation on everything but each dish lacks an element or two to make it a home run. Staff: Wait staff 5/5. Downstairs staff (greeters/hostess) 4/5. Needs to be more on point like offering customers sleeves for umbrellas or pointing out the buckets to put them in. At some point through our entrees a group of 3 women were doing a 10-minute photo shoot by the stairway where our table was. Absolutely inappropriate behavior and a manager should've stopped it. Camera flashes all up in our faces while we're eating wasn't cool. Overall, still a great elevated Mexican cuisine option. The slight tweaks would make this a 5 star place for me. I'd return to try more things.
