At the Table: A taste of the Caribbean? Walk this way | The Daily Gazette

What fun it is for a foodie to be able to walk the length of a gas station on Altamont Avenue in Rotterdam, New York, and be able to enjoy a sampling of Caribbean cuisine! While the Schenectady area has been known for years for its Italian restaurants, current residents have begun discovering Mexican, Thai, Guyanese and Dominican restaurants occupying small spaces but making big contributions to local dining choices.
A quick, 100-foot jaunt can transport you to a feast of sweet or savory empanadas, yellow rice and crispy catfish to the exotic flavors of Arroz Amarillo con Guandules (Pigeons with Yellow Rice) or Mofongo con Chicarron de Cardo (Mashed Green Plantains with Fried Pork).

JOLIET, IL Tacos Tuesdays. Who doesn t love Taco Tuesdays? The last time I wrote about an authentic Mexican restaurant in Joliet, the leaves were still on the trees and I was able to enjoy my meal sitting outside. On Tuesday, I visited a place I ve never been before. It s along one of my favorite restaurant roads in all of Joliet, Ruby Street.
Tortilleria y Taqueria occupies the two-story brick building at the corner of Ruby and Kelly. It s address is 805 South Kelly Ave. You ve probably driven past it thousands of times and didn t realize it existed.
Gong Xi Fa Cai!
