replying to u/helloimzan: Caracas in the east village - I know there’s a seasonal outpost in rockaway beach, but the sauce is not the same :(

replying to u/sharpless140: They have a location in rockaways open during the summer, i like to time my beach days so i get dinner there before taking the ferry back. I think they sell bottles of their yellow sauce.

replying to u/VenetaBirdSong: The location in Williamsburg too. I probably ate there close to 100 times since the late ‘00s. Crushed when they closed. The Rock location doesn’t have my favorite (la sureno)
“There was a year where I used to go to the east village location bi-weekly, either solo or with one other person - and whenever a larger group gathering would happen, I’d always suggest the Williamsburg location (for the better seating) - one way or another, I was going to have Caracas 😂”

replying to u/dinky-park: - Uncle Boon’s. Thai Diner has a few shared dishes cause they’re from the same owner, but it’s nowhere near as good - Caracas Arepas Bar. Haven’t really found anything that hits quite the same yet - Odessa: Miss a decent 24/7 spot - Old Superiority Burger: I know the new spot opened up, but it’s just not the same anymore. The prices have tripled and ruined what used to be an affordable tasty option
