Biking makes me hungry. And after I’ve done a few loops in Prospect Park on a Saturday (or Sunday), it’s often a taco or huarache from the Red Hook Food Vendors that I crave.

It’s all authentic Latin food — very fresh, perfectly salty, and ideal for scarfing down at a picnic table with your bikes parked next to you.

After our ride this afternoon, we pedaled the 2.5 miles over to the Red Hook ballfields and tried a few dishes we hadn’t on past trips.

Head to the corner of Clinton and Bay Sts. in Red Hook. You can’t miss the trucks.

This time, we hit up the apparently un-named truck at the end on Clinton Street for some delicious flautas ($4). Added some picked onions and roasted poblanos, which gave it some nice acidity.

Country Boys is probably the most popular truck — known for its huaraches. Today, we got chalupas ($6). One with shrimp, one with beans, and one with pork.

There’s plenty to do in Red Hook, so if you’re still up for a little exploring (and still a little hungry) be sure to check out:

• Steve’s Authentic Key Lime Pies
• The new Red Hook Mercado
• Louis Valentino Jr. Park, which has great views of the Statue of Liberty and Governor’s Island.

Any other hidden gems in Red Hook we should know about?

Have you been to the Red Hook Food Vendors? What did you eat??
