We prefer organic and a menu that will have some interesting selections for my vegetarian friend. Ethnic is always a good choice.

(BYOB) They have great shwarma, chicken, and the sauces are so tasty! or if you want Mexican, another BYOB is El Meson.

That being said the food is excellent. My favorite dinner is the lamb shawarma combo which comes with falafel, stuffed grape leaves, babaganoush, hummus and a couple warmed pitas. Don't forget to ask for a side of the homemade hot sauce! Tue Nov 10 05:25:02 -0800 2009 5166803 172765 equal_Mark 3 5170052 My favorite also!

Wed Nov 11 08:25:46 -0800 2009 5172578 16458 jsfein 4 5178394 It's been a while, so I don't remember the menu, but it's genuine Mexican, not the Americanized stuff. We speak very little Spanish and had no problem.

We finally chose A Little Bit of Cuba off of 537 in West Freehold. The food was authentic and the portions were generous. A couple of us ordered Ropa Vieja, the house specialty.
