They've got fresh fruit smoothies with actual fresh fruit, a tasty avocado toast on some seriously delicious bread (pretty tiny, but only $5), and they are anti-plastic bottles, which is probably how we should all be. The caprese sandwich was a little weak for the price and tasted a little odd to me, but overall eating at La Fruteria made me feel much better about the giant bag of chips and the Frito Pie I ate later on in the day. I'd do it again. ____________ *A beach gut is like a beach body, but worse. If you're confused, ask me to show you mine next time you see me.

And if your beach body is not exactly on point (a generous understatement in my case), you don't want to stuff yourself because it's going to make your gut protrude even more prominently? So you should probably just get a juice or a salad or something? Well, I go in the exact opposite direction. When I'm at the beach, I want all the barbecue, and all the fried things. The Fletcher's outpost at the Riis Park Beach Bazaar serves the same great smoked meats that you can grab in Gowanus (and at the new DeKalb Market Hall), and it's everything I ever wanted. Pulled pork or brisket sandwiches on squishy potato rolls, piled high with tender meat, slaw, and topped with a bit of sauce. Perfectly crispy waffle fries virtually covered in fatty brisket (because meat fries are better than just ordinary fries). And of course, ribs (my favorite food). All of it served to me by a nice dude wearing a Meats shirt that looks like a Mets shirt. I regret nothing, and neither will you. (Oh, and if you want, you can pre-order whole briskets or pork butts, and serve you and everyone you know delicious barbecue on the beach.)

We spent about $35 on food and subsequently asked them to fill our cups with water. They refused. They have a sink right in their kiosk, and they refused to give us tap water. I explained to one of the workers, who seemed like a manager, that my kids were thirsty and that we spent all our money in his establishment on sandwiches and waffle fries. He still wouldn't give us the water. I further explained that I walked to the water fountain on the boardwalk, and only an undrinkable dribble came out. He didn't care. He claimed it was "health code violation" to give me tap water. I noticed that there were several gallon bottles of open barbecue sauce on the counter. It was 80 degrees out. I saw workers pouring the same bbq sauce on meat sandwiches. Isn't that a health code violation, storing food products at 80 degrees? In my opinion, Fletcher's management doesn't care about its customers, especially children. Luckily for us, a worker from the fried clam stand adjacent to Fletcher's overheard what was happening. She gave us water from the clam stand's sink. Avoid Fletcher's. Mean people.

Unfortunately a lot of the rolls we wanted to get like beef brisket and curry fish balls ran out, also too is the sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf. We ended up settling for roast pork rice roll, and a beef version, and lastly fish ball version. They make it from scratch which is nice to see while the ingredients are chopped up to small pieces. I do wish they put more ingredients in but for the price they charge (average of $2.75 per roll), no complaints there. There is one small table outside to eat in but no indoor seating or bathroom. I would give 3 strong stars.

I skip eating here as most of the menu is unhealthy but they do have some healthy things such as a few salads and fruit bowls. I've found the service here to also be ok.

What if I wanted hot sauce and or peanut sauce? Ample portion size but the plastic container is too narrow and makes the rice noodle lumpy. Large dried shrimp pieces but minimal radish or scallion, green onion. I know this is a cart but other establishments better in Ctown
