I have eaten my way through every corner of New York City, but this Brooklyn neighborhood joint just completely blew me away. Tucked away in Park Slope, there is a spot serving up Dominican street food that is so heavy, cheesy, and packed with flavor it will make your head spin.<\/p>\n
The spot is called Antojitos BK. If you are looking for massive portions and unbelievable flavors, you need to get here immediately.<\/p>\n
The Patacon of Your Dreams<\/p>\n
It all starts with their insanely popular cheeseburger patacon. They take two massive sweet plantains, smash them flat, and fry them until golden brown.<\/p>\n
Then comes the cheese. They lay down a serious amount of cheddar cheese. They load it up with perfectly seasoned, chopped ground beef, ketchup, their signature chimichurri sauce, cabbage slaw, and fresh tomato.<\/p>\n
They top it with the second smashed plantain and slice it in half. Look at that pull! It gets a final heavy drizzle of sauce and parsley.<\/p>\n
It is sweet. It is savory. The crunch of the fried plantain with the melted cheese is an absolute game-changer.<\/p>\n
Next-Level Plantain Cups<\/p>\n
If you think that is wild, wait until you see their pernil mofonguitos. They start with fried plantain cups.<\/p>\n
They squeeze in a layer of chimichurri sauce, then pack them with juicy, slow-cooked pernil pork. More sauce gets drizzled on top, followed by a thick layer of creamy alfredo sauce.<\/p>\n
They pile on a mountain of shredded cheese and melt it on the grill.<\/p>\n
Look at that cheese stretch! The pork is incredibly tender, and the rich sauces make every bite feel like a holiday. These might actually be my new favorite street food.<\/p>\n
Smash Burgers and Epic Chimi Sandwiches<\/p>\n
They also do a double Dominican smash burger that is pure madness. It features two cheesy smashed beef patties, a smashed sweet plantain, a thick slab of fried Dominican cheese, chimichurri cabbage slaw, tomato, and tons of sauce.<\/p>\n
The result? Incredible.<\/p>\n
For the finale, we had their famous cubano sandwich. It is piled high with melted mozzarella, cheesy slow-cooked pernil pork, chimichurri sauce, pickles, grilled ham, and more sauce. They press it on the grill until it is perfectly crispy.<\/p>\n
The flavors at Antojitos BK are outstanding. Don’t walk, run to Park Slope.
