WE ATE WELL while we were in New York. And in very good company. Our first dinner was at Rocco's Tacos in Downtown Brooklyn with dear friends Anne and Brian. Great place. Great food. But my favorite was my Dragonberry Mojito.
COMIMOS BIEN MIENTRAS estábamos en Nueva York. Y en muy buena compañía. Nuestra primera cena fue en Rocco's Tacos (Tacos de Rocco) en el Centro de Brooklyn con los queridos amigos Anne y Brian. Gran lugar. Buena comida. Pero mi favorito era mi Mojito de Baya de Dragón.

Ron:
DeleteThe mojito was delicious the first night, disappointing the next. It all depends on the bartender. Dragonberry rum, though, is delicious.
That's my kinda meal ... good food, good drinks, good friends!
ReplyDeleteBob:
DeleteAnd that ended our first full day in New York. It was perfect.
So THAT is what these are! Dragonberries! I have seen them at certain markets here.
ReplyDeleteThat guacamole looks wonderful! As does everyone/everything else.
Jim:
DeleteWhen I had the drink, I thought "dragonberry" was a made-up name. Then I researched it. I've seen these fruits, too (they're gigantic). Now I know what they are!
My friend and one of my commenters Preston lives in Brooklyn so I WILL have to check this place out when I go visit him. I LOVE Mexican and Latin food and Mojitos. It all looks deeeeeeeelish!!!!! Thanks for posting this.
ReplyDeletemistress maddie:
DeleteA great place. They're apparently all over Florida, too. I had grilled mahi mahi with a kale salad that was so good I had it a second time!
I never heard of dragonberries; interesting.
ReplyDeleteanne marie:
DeleteReally dragon fruit. I had never heard of it either, but I've seen it in markets.
Brian is damn hot - and you can tell him I said so!
ReplyDeleteRay:
DeleteI will! (And he's brilliant and a sweetheart, too.)
Looks AND a nice person to know? It's a combination which I wish was universal.
DeleteInspirational photos, Mitchell.
ReplyDeleteWilma:
DeleteInspiring you to eat? Cook? Drink? Or just be happy?
yes.
DeleteWilma:
DeleteGood!!!
Ive never heard of Dragonberry rum. Must give it a try.
ReplyDeleteStephen:
DeleteIt was delicious. There are so many good flavored rums. I've only learned about them in the last several years (caramel rum...).
Mmmmmmmm.....that food looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteJennifer:
DeleteIt's a great place and riotous decor.
Oh, YUMMM! That reminds me that I have some (not made at tableside, but close enough) guacamole in the fridge. Off I go for a nosh!

Judy:
DeleteJerry brought home a jar of guacamole from the supermarket the other day. Except for the lack of fresh chunks, it tastes just as good.
yummy food
ReplyDeleteGosia:
DeleteDelicious. We've been there 4 times now.

ReplyDeleteSpo:
DeletePerfecto. ¿Dos mojitos?
There's one thing I miss out here in rural France: a good Mexican restaurant. I'd even settle for a bad Mexican restaurant. Ok, maybe not. When we want Mex or Tex-Mex, we have to make it ourselves. Thank goodness for Rick Bayless' cookbooks! Still, with the ingredients we can find, we're pretty limited (although we can now get flour and corn tortillas in the supermarket). The food in your photos looks so tasty, all of it!
ReplyDeleteWalt the Fourth:
DeleteWe don't have good Mexican restaurants here either. Sevilla had a chain of three owned by a Mexican-American from California. They were excellent. As close as one could get to the real thing.
