Here’s some news that will be welcomed by any reader who has ever been hungry at Myrtle at Knickerbocker: beloved latin fry shop La Isla Cuchifritos is back in business and looking good after a long renovation!

La Isla Cuchifritos, which can be translated, delightfully, as “The Island of Fried Snacks,” closed its doors to the public over the winter. Renovation signs on the boards over the front of the corner shop caused many to fear that the no frills space with its takeout window and indoors dining counter would be replaced by another business.
