The 21 Best Restaurants In Ridgewood - New York - The Infatuation

"Hellbender gets some flack for being one of the more expensive options in the area. But the prices are about in line with those of sister restaurant Rolo’s, and the quesadilla with juicy picadillo and chorizo-spiced lamb tacos ($16 for two) are unequivocally some of the best bites in the area. The hybrid restaurant and cocktail bar, with its taxidermied jaguar and sleek yellow booths surrounded by brick walls, is all a bit Manhattan, but it’s also a good time. Pop in for drinks, snacks, or a full dinner, and order a pitcher of margaritas for the table." - bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, will hartman
