review:
Just
south
of
EWR
is
Elizabeth,
New
Jersey's
fourth
largest
city
and
home
to
so
many
Latin
American
communities.
In
addition,
like
the
Ironbound,
the
area
is
also
home
to
quite
a
few
Portuguese
and
Portuguese-Americans,
and
all
the
barbecue
that
typically
goes
with
them
in
New
Jersey.
Just
south
of
the
sprawling
cemetery
in
the
far
reaches
of
Weequahic
Park
is
one
of
the
best,
on
the
first
floor
of
a
long
building.
Besides
the
sign
in
front,
the
business
is
given
away
by
a
tall
smoke
stack
connected
to
the
side
of
what
otherwise
just
seems
like
an
apartment
building.
The
smells
of
cooking
meat
are
of
course
noticeable,
but
that
stack
is
doing
great
work
because
for
a
place
that
cooks
over
charcoal
indoors,
the
smoke
and
smell
is
well
under
control.
Taking
a
sneak
peek
in
the
back
is
recommended
to
check
out
the
automated
rotating
traps
that
spin
quickly
over
the
fire
as
not
to
burn
anything.
Orders
come
in
fast
and
furious
once
the
Elizabeth
lunch
rush
starts
from
tables
of
course
but
also
from
walk-in
customers
taking
big
bags
for
takeout,
and
from
a
phone
that
seemed
to
be
ringing
nonstop.
The
skilled
chefs
in
the
back
were
constantly
removing
and
returning
the
traps
to
fill
orders,
never
missing
a
beat
and
always
knowing
the
proper
times
everything
needs.
While
our
neighbors
at
other
tables
were
clearing
plates
on
their
own,
ours
decided
to
share
a
$21
order
of
beef
ribs
and
chicken.
With
so
much
happening
over
the
fire,
it
is
a
testament
that
all
of
the
meat
is
cooked
so
well.
