REVIEWS:
A definite hole-in-the-wall, with a great deal located in all place Soho, I have never seen a greater deal then La Conquita. For $7 the counter guys will pack a huge plate of food good for two, chock-full of rice, beans, stewed meat (beef, oxtail, or chicken), roasted chicken and my favorite the deep fried pork. Not sure if there is a limit to how many items one can have but it seem endless. I got the white rice, with beef stew, plantains, one fried pork chop and beans, ask for gravy and onions it really adds to the meal. Go there when you’re famished if not I think you can get a smaller plate for $5 but have to tell them you want a small order. Do go in the early hours because toward the end of the day everything will run dry – fast. The rule of thumb is when they finish serving all the food that’s when they close.
RANTS & RAVES:
Not great for sit down, it is tiny so take it to the park or eat standing either way it’s way worth it. (212) 226-9835
