I don't eat out to often, and my roommate wants to know where to get Latin food (Plantains and Pollo and such).

So I turn to you, T-dub!

[Edited on July 31, 2008 at 9:07 AM. Reason : Plantains]

Jamaica Jamaica in RTP is pretty good, it's right off..... I think Exit 278

Nothing fancy but the jerk chicken and plantains are good

7/31/2008 9:06:31 AM

Thanks, dude!

7/31/2008 9:10:55 AM

Jamaican =/= Latin

7/31/2008 9:26:32 AM

^ha! I was thinkin' the same damn thing.

7/31/2008 9:27:09 AM

Yeah yeah but I don't know of a Latin place and they have plantains at least

7/31/2008 9:30:15 AM

there's always Dos Taquitos.

7/31/2008 9:31:01 AM

imo jamaican > latin

7/31/2008 9:31:20 AM

yeah, but the point is...it ain't comida latina

7/31/2008 9:32:26 AM

DON'T DO IT MAN!!

REMEMBER THE TOMATO SCARE!

7/31/2008 9:34:25 AM

What are the parameters of so called "latin food"

7/31/2008 9:35:18 AM

at a mexicans house

7/31/2008 9:35:36 AM

If you want diarrhea just take a bunch of exlax. It's cheaper and you don't have to leave home.

7/31/2008 9:36:45 AM

Prolly tastes better too. Won't burn on both ends

7/31/2008 9:56:32 AM

are you really such a faggot that a little pepper makes your ass burn?

besides, "latin" food isn't really that spicy

I go to Cabo Rojo on the corner of 26th and 10th... but that doesn't help you
see, man - this is why Raleigh sucks

these fucking unhelpful gants and the simple fact that there is a startling lack of diversity

7/31/2008 9:59:15 AM

oakwood cafe

7/31/2008 10:01:24 AM

yeah you can get some Cuban food at Oakwood Cafe

that's the first good suggestion in this thread

thanks, guy

7/31/2008 10:04:01 AM

snewf is being a food snob again

7/31/2008 10:04:02 AM

i just go for the waitresses

7/31/2008 10:05:10 AM

no I'm not

where in Raleigh can you go get Vietnamese food?
or Ukrainian food?

there ARE differences between cities
I invite you to travel more

7/31/2008 10:06:01 AM

yeah, but this is AMERICA

so i'm going to eat AMERICAN food.


like pizza, lo mein, and hot dogs!

7/31/2008 10:09:10 AM

and tacos

7/31/2008 10:09:50 AM

get some fish tacos.

7/31/2008 10:14:15 AM

there's a good el salvadorian place on capital right across from guitarcenter. i can't remember what it's called though. el something.

No...but the last spicy thing I ate was from BWW Blazing wings I did the little challenge thing 3 different times, since then I can't eat spicy anything...even texas pete kills me. So I fucked something up with my stomach.

There is a Viet place over by South Hills that's pretty good.

There is also one off Capital near Crystal Palace. ITS GREAT!

7/31/2008 10:19:29 AM

Vietnamese: Pho Cali on capital just past cook out, Dalat in Mission Valley, and there's another place up in the same shopping area as Crystal Palace buffet.

Pho Cali brings it, though.

7/31/2008 10:20:30 AM

no doubt Vietnamese food is good

is there a Turkish restaurant?

7/31/2008 10:21:20 AM

neomonde on beryl is the best mediterranean place i've found in the area so far, while we're talking about random other kinds of food.

7/31/2008 10:22:40 AM

^^^that place is South Hills is Thai Villa
^^I laughed when you said Dalat is good Vietnamese food.

The best Viet food in this area (as good as you're gonna get around here) is Green Basil on Capital.

[Edited on July 31, 2008 at 10:23 AM. Reason : .]

7/31/2008 10:22:45 AM

I never said Dalat was good Vietnamese food

never been there

7/31/2008 10:23:42 AM

is pho cali legit?

I love that place.

7/31/2008 10:25:02 AM

LOL @ Jamaican

They speak English in Jamaica.

7/31/2008 10:25:21 AM

RIGHT NEAR DA BEACH


BOYEEEEEE

7/31/2008 10:27:09 AM

Pasca for cena and vesperna

7/31/2008 11:43:35 AM

with the places around Raleigh you are just going to get TexMex. Sorry. No good authentic food.

7/31/2008 11:45:35 AM

It's aight. There's no "good" Viet restaurant in this area. That's why I go home when I want Viet food.

7/31/2008 12:05:16 PM

well give me your mother's address then

7/31/2008 12:25:37 PM

Lime and Basil in Chapel Hill has good pho but I have no idea how authentic it really is

7/31/2008 12:43:16 PM

there's a cuban place just outside downtown Cary

forgot what it is called

7/31/2008 12:52:50 PM

There are no good Roman places in Raleigh.

7/31/2008 12:59:51 PM

^^ Havana Grill??

7/31/2008 1:02:16 PM

There are no good Bojangles' in Raleigh

Where's my fucking BBQ sandwiches, BLTs, Cheddar Bo biscuits, and Buffalo Bites?

anyone else recognized this disparity between Bo's here and in the east?

not really authentic at all. I took a Viet friend to eat there one time, and we both agree that the food was pretty bad. Again, good or bad is also based on your taste and preference.

7/31/2008 1:26:07 PM

Et tu Caesar Salad?

7/31/2008 1:27:50 PM

I saw a resturant in wake forest that serves mexican and chinese food. What the hell?

7/31/2008 1:50:32 PM

Fusion cuisine.

7/31/2008 1:50:58 PM

^those are the worsts.

way back in high school i used to wait tables occasionally at a family friend's chinese place. they were from taiwan and all but maybe 2 of their cooks were mexicans

so i dont see this being too far of a stretch.

7/31/2008 1:55:38 PM

haha I kind of like both types of food, it just seems like it would be a weird combo of smells in the place. I hate leaving some asian resturants and you cant get that smell of the place out of your clothes but thats more of a problem at Kanki. Also, most cooks I've seen, especially around State are Mexican.
