Salsa Salsa

Location: Port Jefferson Village, New York.     Type of Food: Mexican


If you're craving a carnitas burrito or some other Mexican fare, and you can't get to Mexico pronto, you can go here to satisfy those cravings without wishing you could transport yourself instantly to Mexico. Nor will you be thinking you'll never come here again. It's pretty good for Mexican fare on Long Island and definitely better than anything you can eat at places like Baja Fresh. So give it a shot, and don't get hooked on the hot sauce (I always ask for extra!).

Rating: 4 out of 5 loaves. 

Baoguette

Location: West Village, Manhattan, New York. Type of food? Vietnamese

The menu is not that extensive but it has a bit of everything. Been here twice and it's not bad when I'm craving Vietnamese Pho. They also have banh mis (Vietnamese sandwiches) but I haven't had that. I read some reviews on Yelp and some people seem to think they're pretty good. I'll have to try them next time. Although I'm still looking for a wider spread of Vietnamese food, this will do for now. And the prices are reasonable (Pho is under $10). But bring cash as they don't accept anything else.

Rating? 3 out of 5 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

Robinsons Tea Room

Location: Stony Brook, NY. Amazing scones and lovely tea. Don't like their cucumber sandwiches though. :-D Be prepared for a wait when going around lunch time. Rating? 4 out of 5 loaves.

Z-Pita

Location: Port Jefferson Village, NY.

Usual lunch and dinner fare are Mediterranean but they have fondue nights and great breakfast too. Here's a picture of my Eggs Florentine. Yum!! Rating? 4.5 out of 5 loaves.

Crepes No Ka 'Oi

Location: Kailua, Oahu

Deeeelish!! That's all that needs to be said. And friendly!! We thoroughly enjoyed our crepes here, including the sweet crepe pictured here called "Lover's Delight". We shared this after a meal of savory crepes. Yum! Rating? 5 loaves for sure!!

Tiger Lily

Tiger Lily serves an abundance of vegetarian and vegan food, along with a few poultry options as well as various cold and hot drinks, including fresh squeezed juices. I love their Chai Lattes. This is a yummy falafel wrap. My favorite usually is the crab cake sandwich but I thought I'd try something new. FYI: this is a cash only place. Location? Port Jeff Village. Rating: 5 loaves. :)

The Point

Location: Montauk, NY. Variety of food from burgers to fish & chips to seafood marinara. Reasonable food at reasonable prices. Rating? 3.5 loaves.

Colosseo Pizza

Pizza doesn't get better than this around these parts. Colosseo has the best pizza for miles! Yummy New York style pizza. Location? Mount Sinai, NY. Bring some cash cuz they don't accept credit or debit cards. Rating: 5 loaves.

California Pizza Kitchen

I usually don't include big chain restaurants but considering I'm happy we have CPK to resort to when in search of good food in my area, I'm including this one on my blog! This is one of my favorite pizzas at CPK - the Jamaican Jerk Chicken pizza ! And I'm so glad they have a CPK here on the middle of Long Island!! This one is in Lake Grove, outside the Smithhaven Mall. Rating? I'd give it 4 out of 5 loaves. :)
