Looking for a place to eat?

This is a list of restaurants my friends and I have eaten at over the years - most of them are located around the Los Angeles area but I've begun to post places in my new locale - New York (mostly Long Island and NYC areas as well as some places in Upstate New York). Some may not be the same anymore but some of them are, so take a chance and a risk. :) If you've been to some of these, feel free to add your own comments. Oh, and ratings are out of 5 loaves. :) Yum-yum! Let's eat!

Pollo Rico Latin Bistro

Location: Centereach, NY Type of food: Latin

If you're looking for some good latin food in the middle of Long Island, this is the place to go. Their portions are always generous and their food always good. They have a large selection of dishes and we haven't gone often enough to try a lot of things (plus when my husband goes, he generally gets the same thing). :) But everything we've had there has been good, including their salads. Of course, having a caipirina doesn't hurt either. :) Out of all the latin food we've tried in the area, as far as restaurants go, this place is the best. Rating: 4 loaves.

Don Quijote

Location: Miller Place, NY. Type of food: Mexican/Spanish/Latin

The salsa here is reminiscent of Meson Ole's salsa -- not good salsa at all. I start with this because there's another restaurant where my friends and I get together for a half-pitcher of sangria and discuss how dismal the salsa really is. I didn't take any photos (I forgot) but the two dishes that were ordered were the pork and the seafood enchilada/tostada combination. The combination was satisfactory but the pork a bit dry. It's okay if you want some sort of Mexican/Spanish/Latin food but I can't say that it was really good. There are other places within a 20-mile radius that I'd rather go to. I'll try to post all of them. Rating: 2 loaves
