Bargain Eats: LOBSTER MONDAYS!!

It was my turn to pick up S. from her gym class yesterday and bring her to her weekly after-school German language class a few blocks away. By the time she got out we were both starving, so we decided to check out Mo's Caribbean which was located within the vicinity. Mondays was their Lobster Night special. Mo's Caribbean Mexican Grill is located at the cor. of 76th Street and 2nd Avenue

The steamed lobster (sorry, no broiled) was served with drawn butter and a wedge of lemon. It's not City Island quality but for $9.95 (single lobster price on other days: $17.95), I ain't complainin'. Upon my request, they also gladly cracked S's lobster shell for her. Each table had a complimentary basket of chips and salsa. If you ask for more, it'll set you back $2.95. Sides are extra: Mixed green salad was $2.95 and the waffle fries, $4.95. For budget-conscious patrons, they also have $1.00 tacos every Saturdays and Sundays.

The drinks are really good - and cheap! They have Happy Hour from Mondays to Fridays from 4P to 7P wherein all drinks (including top-shelf) are half-priced. That means S. got to guzzle her Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri for $2.50 and I had my Frozen Strawberry Margarita for 3 bucks! CHEERS!!
