Fran: The baked Tilapia and seafood Fra Diablo is amazing. The fried calamari as well.
The Corcoran Group: A landmark restaurant serving fresh seafood! Get the Lobster Bisque & Spicy Crab, then the Combo with Hot Sauce or the Cold Seafood Platter and a side of biscuits.
#ultrafacts: The seafood here is locally sourced from a secret cove off the Verrazzano. Only "Old Starple," the Randazzo family fisherman, knows the coordinates.

Jonathan Flores: Tostadas are so yummy and if you like traditional Mexican soup you MUST try there posole it's great on a cold chilly Sunday afternoon.
Tim Vetter: Weird food club score: Get a quesadilla con huitlacoche aka Mexican truffle aka corn smut, not easy to find in NYC. $4. http://www.brooklyntheborough.com/2010/08/the-dish-uncovering-huitlacoche/
Time Out New York: Try the flor de calabaza quesadilla. Fresh masa is griddled, then topped with mounds of sautéed squash blossoms, cotija cheese, crema and lettuce. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more.
