Came here for the first time. The building has a great indoor and outdoor area and a pleasant design. Great for families. Didn't go to the bar this time, but the Cuban food was great!

Just what this corner needed! I visited during the grand opening weekend and was so impressed with the design, layout (the space feels HUGE) and incredible selection of food carts. They have a well-stocked bar with friendly bartenders, coffee shop (I arrived too late in the day to try it, unfortunately), and two different play areas for kids. I tried the Korean cart and the dumplings were delicious. I'll definitely be back to try the rest of the carts.

Great ambiance and selection of carts. I’d love to see the carts use containers that are compostable and/or curbside recyclable here. All the ones I saw aren’t accepted in curbside recycling. So much unnecessary plastic pollution.

EDIT: Thank you for your response. I’d love to see compostable and easily recyclable containers become the norm. A cart pod with re-usable dishes and a centralized washing system would be even better. This, of course, is something you have the power to create and enforce with your tenants. All the packaging/soon-to-be-pollution we’re so used to now has its roots in the advent of fast food. It’s time to stop doing business this way.

Great spot for a fun drink and your pick of many good food carts. Spectacular seating options, inside or outside and great parking. Nothing bad to say, highly recommend.

Clean and large spaces for families. They have outdoor and indoor areas and have fans and heaters in the outdoor space.

Has a cute little play space for kids which is awesome.

Great food options to round off.

I'm so excited to have the food carts nearby! So many options, there are options for the pickiest eaters. Parking is limited, though. There’s a second lot across the street, but crossing the busy intersection with speeding cars feels unsafe. I really wish they would add a crosswalk farther east on Holgate.

where to start, we are big good truck goers. A family of 5. makes it great when everyone can get what they want. This place is beautiful, they had a handful of trucks (more coming) but the options were definitely a mix. Something for everyone for sure. The Cuban food truck is a 10/10 highly recommend! The Cuban sandwich was the best sandwich ive had in a long time. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. My husband and kids had burgers, corn dogs, and chicken strips. The burgers were huge. super great flavor, (adding lamb burgers to the menu soon) super excited to come back to try those. Lets talk drinks, I like a good spicy cocktail, however most "full bars" offer Tabasco to spice up my drink. I hate that. I prefer a spicy tequila or a muddled jalepeno. This place has bitters. This was hands down the best spicy margarita (the house margarita with spicy bitters) that I have had since I've been out here. They have have a changing station in the bathroom. a pinball room, and a kids toys section. For families like us, little kids, picky eater, the FULL bar. This is by far the best food truck place we have went to.

Such a great reuse of an iconic spot. La careta stood boldly on that corner for so long and was such a great loss when it closed, this has created a wonderful new life for the lot. There are about 10 currently and space.for a couple of more. A super cute game room, Moody's coffee and a nice bar inside. There is a decent amount of parking on site and more available across the street. They have a teeny kids corner and a good number of seating between indoor and out. Excited to see how this space develops.

Love this place! Right in the hood! Delicious food, beautiful aesthetic a great bar. Game area with pinball great for families, friends, kids and Ive even seen dogs. Have yet to try Moody’s the coffee spot, but on my list.

We first went and got the Nour Thai , Bollywood Dhaba Indian, And Havana Cuban
And all raved delicous and great beer.

And we went back and just had Bollywood Dhaba again, and it was so good.

It’s a must try. So happy theres a place here, as we really miss La Carreta RIP 😢, so its nice to now have Brooklyn Carretta

Thanks for making a new fun hang out!
