Los Chuzos y Algo Mas — Restaurant in New York

Exploring Roosevelt ave for spots to eat brings me to Los Chuzos Y Algo Mas in Jackson Heights, Queens

This hole in the wall Colombian spot has great food on the go and non -stop stream of customers.

Chuzos are meat skewers grilled over charcoal. Had cerda (pork) and chorizo skewers. Liked them both, but the chorizo was really good. It comes with a mini arepa.

Loved the Macitas, sweet corn poppers. Sort,flaky and really tasty.Took some home as well. 3 for $1

The choclo arepa was great! LIght and sweet, topped with cheese.

Definitely check this spot out. get a Colombian snack and if you're lucky, like me, will find some local Colombians to chat with.
