Red Hook Ball Fields

Went to Red Hook this past weekend. At the ball fields, there are about 12 food stands serving Central/South American food. The food was so good we over-ate. When I say stand, it's more like a table someone brought from home. The food also looks like it was pre-prepared at home and cooked at the field in some cases. We started with a fried potato ball with ground meat inside. Then we had seafood ceviche which came in a small plastic soup take out container. It was stored in a cooler and they took one out when you ordered. The seafood sitting in a milky colored liquid but when you taste it, it's lemony and very tasty. I'm not sure what's in the marinade. It was excellent and it only cost about $8. Everything was economical. We then had some spicy corn with lime and fresh juice. I had the cantalope. I tried some pupusas which was like a soft tortilla with cheese inside topped with pickled pink cabbage. Last item of the day was the goat taco you see above. The meat was so tender and not gamey at all. It was so good. On the table they had tons of sauces -- red, green, with veggies, green with veggies, etc. Someone asked the vendor which was mild, she said none. They don't eat anything mild. It all has to be hot. That's really cool. I like how they maintain tradition despite all the media this ball field has been receiving. I have something to look forward to when I go to Mexico.
