Serious EatsNovember 4, 2011Pernil with a Twist: Chunks of roast pork—the kind you want to pick out and relish separately. Among the onion slivers and jalapeno-green sauce, there are homely fried lumps of sweet plantain. Read more
Quick, hefty portions of delicious Cuban food. Breaded chicken, rice/salad and maduros are my go to. Get onions. You HAVE to douse it in that heavenly green sauce. For sandwich: Pernil with a Twist.
Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. My favorites are the baked chicken with Black beans and sweet plantains or the Pernil w/ a Twist!
funky flavorMay 3, 2017Great good and amazing empanadas. Not so cheap but the price is definetly worth it.
Steven YApril 4, 2014Great Cuban sandwich, but the place gets a bit chaotic during the weekday lunch hours; go crazy with the spicy avocado sauce - it's awesome- I live here. Everything is great. Preference for the roast pork, baked chicken, and pernil with a twist!
Ryan BrightSeptember 5, 2015Possibly the best Cuban sandwich I've had, large portions, and not a large price. If I worked near Flatiron, I would become mayor.
Lianna シJanuary 15, 2015Great for a quick bite, and easy on the wallet. The homemade lemonade is delish. Opt for delivery or take out during lunch hours.
Everything is delicious. And everything will put you in a food coma. And green sauce will make you smell awful in meetings, but you won't and shouldn't care.
Xande MacedoOctober 9, 2013If you have never been here before get the Cuban Sandwich and smother it with the Sophie's special green sauce. It's worth it.
All is great tasting and good priced but the Ropa Vieja and the Pernil are always well seasoned, cooked and moist. Like it here!
Harlem’s HungryMay 18, 2015My pork chunks were kinda dry which sucks because this place is all the race by the people from this area. A little extra mojito wouldn't hurt before serving#secondchance
Leave your passport at home and chow down on the Cuban Sandwich. Ground beef stew is amazing. Don't forget the sweet plaintains!
Maxwell ZDecember 11, 2012Might have the best Cuban sandwich in Manhattan. Don't forget to grab the spicy, avocado-y sauce.
I love their fried rice with yellow rice & black beans. Don't forget the green sauce
Julian ModestoAugust 15, 2014Get anything with pork or plantains; thus, I direct you to the Fried Pork sandwich.
Best Cuban sandwich in half mile radius. That green sauce is good.
This location no longer has table service but, customer seating is still available.
Good sized plates and good prices. Try the ox-tail! (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

"Amazing value, bold latin flavors for bland Midtown....and the price is right. Only downfall is they close early on Saturday and are not open on Sunday. The Chicken Pattys are amazing, greeen sauce!"

"This is a great place to hang out. The changing artwork in the main lawn is fun to see as well. It's a good place to go with a book and relax for a while, and often gets some light breezes through."
