"Far Rockaway might not exactly be a food destination, but the local Surf Club has helped send droves of hungry beachgoers there. The chef behind the shuttered Rockaway Taco has taken up shop in a food truck in the back garden of the hippie-ish dive. The cheerful bartenders make a stiff margarita, and the outdoor space is a tranquil setting for scarfing down the California-inspired fried fish tacos, at least until peak bathing suit season hits and the lines nearly spill onto the sidewalk. Cash only." - Paul Schrodt
