MEXICO
Tucked away on Beach 96th Street
[UPDATE: CLOSED]
On a summer day that involves the beaches in the Rockaways, there is no post-sun eatery around the area better than Rockaway Taco. When the sun is setting, the colorful little shack almost seems a little magical with all the plants and vegetables growing on, in, and around the building.

The tacos are nothing to write home about, but for $3 you do get a larger than usual snack. The tortillas come from a package (standard in NYC even at authentic joints/carts), but the vegetables and toppings are all fresh and probably picked on-site. Add a spoon of guacamole for $1 extra to any taco. The board seemed to be erased and written over, so the three available selections might very each day.
Tilapia makes for a tasty fish taco w/ guacamole
They have a small little garden with a few seats, but standing in front and munching while standing is just as pleasurable. The people are friendly, and the whole setting is very chill. And hey, if you need surfing lessons, there is a small bulletin board to find that as well.
Besides the new eateries, you have to check out Belle Shores Condos on 100th Street (just 3 blocks from the main concession stands). Beautiful finishes, tons of cool people live there, great community, lots of group events, great prices on condos right across from the beach! www.belleshorescondo.com
