A Salvadoran story
There is a tiny restaurant called Los Hermanos Cafe at 142 West 9th Street. It’s in the middle of the busy intersection at Hamilton and Clinton St. right in-between Red Hook and Carroll Gardens. Though the space is small, the empanadas are excellent.
I spoke to Jonathan Flores, who works as a cashier at Los Hermanos. He told me about the restaurant and the special significance of its location. His uncle, Manuel Flores opened the restaurant recently. “My uncle opened the place up in March and I started working here right from the start,” Flores said. “At first it was just a few orders like tacos and quesadillas that were really selling. We’re just starting to get the word out about some of the other dishes since we’re still pretty new.”
The restaurant has breakfast options like omelettes, as well as burgers, nachos, flautas, shakes, and some more creative options as well. It is open seven days a week, from 11 am-5 pm on Sundays and 9 am-9 pm on Mondays-Saturdays.
