Dining Out In Boerum Hill, BOCOCA, Brooklyn New York

 January 31st 2007

According to Jeff of JeffGrandis.com “ Smith Street has a high concentration of many different restaurants and cuisines”. Jeff goes on to say “ probably the best selection of restaurants in all of Brooklyn can be found in BOCOCA – ( Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens ).

One of the best restaurants in the area is Cubana Café located at 272 Smith Street, between Sackett and DeGraw Street.

If you like to drink Mojitos, then this is the place for you. The mojitos here are the real thing with all fresh ingredients and made to perfection. The atmosphere is lively and always festive with Great Cuban music playing, Steve, the owner, greets you like family and absolutely great food, priced moderately.

There are always plantain chips and spicy dip complimentary to get you started with your mojito. Once you have had one or two mojitos then your taste buds are in for a real treat with any of the great appetizers. The corn on the cob with the chipolte (excuse my spelling if incorrect) sauce is superb. The corn is always sweet, the sauce with cheese on top is always a hit. (Read the article)
