There’s nothing like some late night grilled meat from these people. Wow. It doesn’t get more tantalizing than this.

It can be slow on a busy 2am, the chicken was good and so is the papaya with milk. Price is good, for $ 6, you get a full meal

I love shish kabobs! I can eat them all day!(I really can though) they are $ 3.00 for one. It’s a little pricy but that’s life! They are so good. You can order them through the window, and be on your way with meat on a stick. I usually go to Astoria for souvlaki but the Colombian version of a shish kabob works! Instead of a slice of Italian bread you get an arepa. Pretty good my friends!

It was like a typical late night in Medellin, Colombia, where outside clubs and bars, street vendors sell all kind of «chuzos»(literally«skewers») or what others will call«kebab». Only it is in Queens, New York and at one in the morning, the place is packed with a lot of people, not necessarily club-goers. As the scent of grilled meat wafted in the air, we ordered the chuzos de pollo and chuzos de salchicha, which are served with arepas(cornmeal patty). The chuzos de pollo(skewered chicken or chicken kebab) were tender and one can tell that it made good time in the marinade and that the marinade had some cumin in it. :) The chuzos de salchicha(sausage) had a bit of a hot and spicy taste that was perfect for that late night food craving. The cheesy, salty and sweet arepas con queso proved to be my favorite. :) Its combination of sweetness, saltiness and creaminess is irresistible. Los Chuzos de Algo Mas(literally skewers and more) also offers fresh fruit juices and smoothies as well as some dessert items. I made a mental note of that but there is a bigger probability that next time, we’ll try the chuzos de res(beef kebab).

This was one of the stops on a Unilocaler’s UYE Taco Crawl. We had already stopped at all the taco trucks near the 74th St station and we were wandering aimlessly down the street when we spotted this place. A true gem. They serve arepas, but not what you think. They serve chuzos, which are basically kebabs that come with a toasted arepa. I shared a chuzo with a friend and although I normally don’t like meat, this place made a mean kebab. The meat was tasty, moist and grilled perfectly. You order from a window and eat it the kebab right by the window. A great culinary and cultural experience One of my favorite stops on the taco crawl.

If you are looking for a Colombian cultural experience — come to this place. I had a beef chuzo(shish kebab — $ 3) from the window which was pretty good, then walked inside to check it out — yeah — its small but its a tight spot where everyone is truely a local(jackson heights latino) — i ordered a strawberry fruit juice — $ 3 — cheaper than getting one in Flushing, and they actually use real fruit.

A sign advertising arepas and chorizo caught our eyes, and we went into this tiny eatery. We shared one cheese arepa and a fresh fruit juice with strawberry, pear, and orange. Both cost only $ 3, an especially good price for fresh juice, and were devoured in seconds. There is a window for ordering from the street.

This is basically a juice bar /snack shack. I didn’t taste the snacks but I saw Arepas, sausage, chicharron. It all smelled great. I went for the fresh squeezed juice. They didn’t have anything that tickled my fancy. So I ask for a Dominican drink in a Colombian establishment lol… MORIRSONANDO! Well. Fresh squeeze orange juice with some pulp… grains of sugar that aren’t completely melted… condensed milk…=DOPETATIOUS!!! Holy smoke. Just knowing that the juice was fresh made my day. Why three stars? Place is tiny. Like. Really tiny. Like two stools and a bench. I saw a moldy orange. My drink was small for three bucks. But it was still worth it. Awesome.
