Roosters Caribbean Tapas Now Open On 5th Avenue

Roosters Caribbean Tapas Now Open On 5th Avenue
Roosters Caribbean Tapas, 651 5th Avenue


Looks like the space at 651 5th Avenue, between 18th and 19th Streets, is a natural fit for those hoping to serve the neighborhood little bites, as another small plates place has set up shop there.

The space, formerly home to Sekt — which closed after less than a year — is now Roosters Caribbean Tapas, which opened last month. They’re serving up a menu meant for sharing, featuring some traditional-sounding dishes, from stew chicken to jerk pork to “calypso” catfish, with prices ranging from $7-12 for each plate.

It’s open Tuesday-Friday 5-10pm and Saturday-Sunday 3-10pm, and we spotted a Groupon for them that’s up right now — $12 for $20 worth of tapas, $24 for $40 worth for four or more people, or $14 for $24 worth for takeout. Note that it’s cash only.

We haven’t had a chance to stop in yet, but the photos on their Facebook page make it look pretty tasty — has anyone stopped in yet? What did you think?
