Small, family run Mexican restaurant with a good menu of tacos, burritos, tostadas, tortas, and quesadillas, along with a great selection of brunch and dinner entrees. Fairly priced, request homemade tortillas for an additional fee (so worth it!)
Bordered by beautiful Prospect Park on the West, Crown Heights is the home of the world-renowned Brooklyn Botanic Garden (Cherry Blossom Festival, anyone?) and Brooklyn Museum. Transit is abundant—the A/C/2/3/4/5 trains all run through this growing neighborhood. Take a stroll through Franklin Ave. to get a taste of Barbocino's famous wood-fired pizza or stop by one of Crown Height's many Caribbean restaurants.
