Chosue, what are you talking about?? The drive thru service at the Pollo Tropical in NJ is the fastest in the industry. I only have a few minutes for lunch and choose the drive thru because it is fast. I love Pollo Tropical.

haha… i would have loved to hit up joe’s, but it was Winter Music Conference the weekend I was there, and there is no way I was going anywhere near the beach!

Whatâ€”no Versailles when you went to Miami?! Have you ever been to Ceviche House in Kendall? Muy Buenoâ€”it is Peruvian. Just skip the desserts.

And you didn’t hit Joe’s Stone Crab? I’m with Angie’s Matt on Flannigansâ€”they have the greatest garlic wings ever! What kind of Floridian are you?

I’ve been to the Pollo Tropical in NJ..I hated it. It was slow- they took over 30 minutes and lost my order. It was boring food. I will never return. There is much better, more authentic latin food right here in midtown and definitely in Queens.

I don’t know if you were a fan of the rascal house down in Miami, as I was, but it looks like it’s been closed for good:

There’re bunches of Cuban places in Union city NJ. You should google for them. The block is call Bergenline ave. There should be buses that goes there from NY.

I’ve been to the Polo Tropical in Jersey, but you’re right that it doesn’t hold a candle to the midtown cuban fare.

hey zach, i get media noches frequently at havana central (north side of 46th b/w 6th and 7th) when my coworkers are company carding it… it’s kinda themey in there, but they show soccer games at the bar so i’m down. on the lunch menu, a media noche is around $8. pretty tasty, and it comes with these bangin sweet potato fries! holla!
