Off the back, I have to say I have never actually sat down and eaten at The Creek and the Cave, but have ordered in a handful of times and felt it was worth a mention. You may have noticed this place is listed under burgers as well as Mexican, why you ask? This is because their Vera Cruz Burger is my favorite burger in all of NYC. This burger is flavorful and toped with jalapenos, and this flavor has been consistent. There is more to the menu then just that burger, but I usually stick with the burger. I have also had their tacos, which come in options of shrimp, chicken, steak or fish. I personally like the shrimp and fish the best, there is some sort of tangy sauce on these that are absent in the chicken and beef. In addition this place serves as a bar at nights and weekends, the ambience seems interesting from the times I have picked up. If you are around the area, this is worth a trip for the burger. Even if you are in Manhattan take the 7 Train 1 stop into queens, you will be happy you did.
