With the Universal Hip Hop museum located a mile away, Beatstro may just be the epicenter for amazing music, food, and culture. The brainchild of Alfredo Anguiera, and partner Junior Martinez, this is cooking that speaks to the borough's rich Puerto Rican and African-American presence.

The entrance foyer features bright green walls and shelves lined with LP’s. Behind the velvet curtain, you’ll find a stylish room donning the artwork of Andre Trenier and photos from local legend, Joe Conzo. Yet, the best part is the food. The menu, complete with a blend of cooking styles, highlights pork rinds with barbecue seasoning and lemon, as well as golden-fried green tomatoes. Save room for the mojo chicken, with roasted potatoes, collard greens, and salsa verde.
