Which is a smart idea haha! I mean really, anyone with a brain can find all sorts of articles detailing the fight and money involved in forcing all the vendors to get permits that are up to code. there really isn't anything logical or reasonable that can be said against such an obviously ridiculous claim. Not to mention how F-ing good some of the food is. The Barbacoa is the best I've had anywhere in the US. I am from LA, lived in SF, eaten in Sunset Park, Spanish Harlem, Queens Roosevelt actin, you name it, from the Mexican truck that is the furthest South on the far side of the fields, it is simultaneously crisped on the edges, gamey, fatty, meaty! OMG, drizzled with salsa verde and a few bites of Chicarron and carrots pickled with jalapenos... it's like being back in DF! Orale! jose sounds like someone who wants to keep the lazy manhattanites and Gringos out of his ‘hood!

I played a lot of baseball at the ball fields. As far as the central americans and mexicans moving in respect them and try to learn their culture. It is different from the Puerto Rican/Dominican communities where they have more of an Indian based culture while ours are more African I grew up in Red Hook, in the 60’s and the beginning of the 70s’, 466 Columbia Street, my cousins lived at 124 Bush Street.

Oh, and they actually do have city permits and have to pass DOH inspections. I'm not sure where you're getting your information.

This information is the best. I cant wait to get some good eats and take in some futbol!! Same question as Vivian...how long does the vendor season run. I was looking to venture down in early October? Also, can someone fill me in on the futbol schedule?? Do they play every Sat & Sunday, and what time??? Traveling from PA, so I want to make a day of it. Lastly, any other suggestions on activities in the area? Thanks! Hey Foodguy!!
