The traditionally Irish and Spanish Kingsbridge neighborhood has, in recent decades, been infused with Hispanic verve. One of the quintessential examples of the latter is El Economico, a Caribbean diner with a long counter flanked by red-leather-topped chrome stools, a faux-brick floor, off-white walls hung with large mirrors, and an enormous, backlit, red-lettered yellow menu board overhead. That final component lists (in Spanish and English) many home-cooked favorites from the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico: slow-simmered savory stews, simply roasted meats, and seafood in assertive sauces. Of particular, golden-fried chunks of chicken, and the pulpo al ajillo with its sucker-less cylinders of octopus tentacles swimming in an intoxicating sea of olive oil, minced garlic, and parsley.
El Economico Spanish American Restaurant is open daily from 7:30am to 11pm and is featuring karaoke nights every Friday and Saturday night till 4am (upstairs). We are also very family style oriented restaurant and are kids friendly. So we are filled with local and "stop by" families from different neighborhoods every Sunday for an unforgettable family brunch and dinner experience.
If you've never been to Latin or a Caribbean deli or a restaurant and want to try this southern kind of style food - EL Economico is a MUST to stop in and try.
