Felice Montague

Brooklyn Heights’ 13 Go-To Restaurants and Bars

"Head to this friendly Mexican option on Montague Street, tucked in a second-floor brownstone space. Focus on great tacos with really fresh, flavorful proteins like al pastor and fried fish, battered in Negra Modelo. Other hits include shareable apps like queso fundido and tasty empanadas, the latter of which comes with a trio of fillings (refried black beans, caramelized plantains, and Vermont cheddar). Gallito’s Kitchen prides itself on sourcing local ingredients from urban farms, so expect farm-to-table callouts on the menu and slightly higher (but certainly justifiable) price points than the average taqueria around town. There’s another, more casual outpost nearby, plus another restaurant in Fort Greene from the same owners." - Alexandra Ilyashov
