"The fried green plantains here are probably our favorite dish on this list, and maybe of all time. They come heavily doused in mojo de ajo, yet are so crispy that you might end up recommend eating an entire platter (effectively starting and ending your meal here). Despite the chandeliers and big mirrors, this East Williamsburg spot is good for a quick, casual meal, and you’ll see lots of solo diners watching TV and eating sesame chicken at tables decorated with different Latin American flags. The plates are huge and you’ll likely end up with leftovers, so plan (and rejoice) accordingly." - willa moore
