“We loved this place, but they kinda forgot us for awhile so it took our food an hour to come out. Our server got our drinks and appetizer so fast, then he disappeared and someone else finally came and took our order and gave us water. But they were all very friendly and it was a very fun place with great food. Loved the garlic chicken and def get a side of maduros! So, so good. Chicken was fall apart tender and garlic sauce was outstanding. My boyfriend loved his meal tool, ground beef with an egg on it. Delicious mojito too! One caveat- it's VERY loud. We loved that, the live music was wonderful. But even before the music it was very loud music they played in the restaurant. It was fun, but be prepared for noise. Enjoy!“

“Victor s Cafe is by far one of the best restaurants in NYC. From the friendly staff to the oustanding food n drinks. Met with a few old n dear friends of mine. No better place to meet than one of my favorite restaurants.The waiters Darwin and Carlos (Charlie); were friendly , attentive, pleasant, efficient and so willing to make sure we had an excellent dining experience .Continuously checking on us and making sure all was well. The food was amazing; the drinks were phenomenal. We ordered a pitcher of both ; white and red Sangria.We were all pleased with the dishes we ordered. From Sea bass and Shrimp dishes; to Pernil(pork) and Ropa vieja (shredded beef). The flavor was on point and all the food was eaten. Empty plates from all 4parties. The chef Jose Luis was kind enough to come out to our table and we were able to personally thank him for a job well done. My friends will definitely be back to Victors Cafe. They will as well refer people they know to come and try some good food s ; whenever in NYC. A reservation is something I would suggest for it gets pretty crowded. The atmosphere / ambiance is wonderful and a place you would be happy to have been able to experience. I have been coming to Victor s cafe for years and truly it’s a place that doesn’t disappoint.Enjoy your visit there; an experience you will most certainly remember. Last but not least; order the sampler for appetizer. It will give you a taste and variety of different and delicious foods.“

“We went for brunch and got the croquetas, the tortilla cubana, and the huevos rancheros. The tortilla cubana (omelette with chorizo, manchego, and spinach) was great, but the potatoes served on the side were just ok. The huevos rancheros were good as well. The croquetas were very heavily breaded -- I would not order them again. I had the passionfruit mojito, which was good but a bit too sweet for my taste. Service was good!“

“Came here for brunch. It was mostly empty, but I kinda liked it that way. No loud music, just vibes lol. The food was ok. Portions were kinda small. I opted for the add on of the yucca fries. They were good but it was like 6 pieces. They were big, but left me wanting more. I didn't have it, but the bottomless brunch seemed like a good deal. The food was good, but I felt small portions and I left hungry. I feel like this would make a better happy hour spot. Plates feel smaller and the drinks were good. The bathroom while clean, smelled like urine. I was gonna give 3 stars but gave 4 because service was good.“

“We staying next door at the Muse and I walked the 20 steps to Margon to get a cafe con leche and tostada cubana. I was blown away. As born and raised Miamian, I can honestly tell you that the best cafe con leche is found at Margon in Manhattan. Hands down. And the ambiance reminds me of the old-school cafeterias and bakeries my grandfather and dad would take me to as a little girl. Keep doing what you’re doing .. loads of blessings and suerte, your way!“

“Had a perfect experience at Bstro 38. Food was tasty, full of flavor, well cooked, and great quality. The drinks were flawless, well balanced and strong without the alcohol being overpowering. The service was impeccable-- excellent restaurant service standards. Our server (Starling) was friendly, attentive, and checked with us in a good cadence. The staff worked really well together and created a great experience. The space was dimly lit. It was inviting, warm, and casual.“

“Birthday Dinner in NYC and I was so pleased. My and my Shuga bear stumbled on this place just walking around with grumbling tummies. Saw some folks leaving and they swore we'd love the food. Went in and the hostess greeted us so warmly and I shared it was my birthday and she made sure we got a seat without reservations. Seated promptly but wasted no time being served up a couple of Havana Hurricanes. Next I ordered the oxtail stew and my husband had the Mia Y Tierra (surf n turf). As the live Cuban music played in the background we were dancing in our booth and having a great time. These plates filled with deliciousness appeared before us and all you saw were forks flying back n forth in one another's plates. The oxtail stew had a sauce that was poured table-side and it was filled with flavor. I couldn't eat it all but that didn't stop me from trying. I can't even explain the house party that was happening on my tastebuds. My husband's dish was equally delicious with the chimmichurri on a perfectly cooked steak and shrimp full of flavor. Let's not forget the yellow rice and black beans that stood out all by themselves. Finally the party came where I was sung to and adorned with my own Panama Fedora. I will definitely be back for it all if even in NYC again.“

“Came here around 8pm on a weeknight without a reservation and were able to get seated right away. The vibe of the place was great and the service was prompt, but I am giving this place 4 starts because the food was absolutely mediocre and overpriced for what it was. I got the salmon and it came with white rice and bok choy. There was absolutely no flavor to the white rice, it was just a big serving of white rice. The bok choy was steamed and lightly seasoned and the salmon was good, but nothing special. That dish was priced at $33 and was mainly comprised of white unseasoned rice. Maybe their other dishes are better, but the salmon was not worth that much. Also, this is a Cuban restaurant, but the Cuban sandwich was only available for lunch“

“Amor Cubano is a nice small place with tasty food, we walked in with no reservations it was a nice calm relaxing place to sit, eat, chat and enjoy some music. It wasn't that busy about 5 couples/friends we're all seated in different areas so it wasn't packed we ordered to eat el cubano, and 2 ropa veija, 2 pina mojitos and 1 passionfruit mojitos. They put a lot of leaves in the mojitos lol just a heads up. Food was delicious the green sauce amazing everything was yummy worth it but there was literally only 5 couples or friends in the entire place and they took so long to bring out our food and they kept forgetting our sides and we kept having to remind them, but it's cool it was worth the wait definitely recommend you to go ahead and try the food for sure will not disappoint.“

“From former owners of cafe Cortadito, Husband-Wife combo Patricia and Ricardo have returned with a truly remarkable restaurant in a tremendous location on the lower east side. There are no bad dishes here, but some standouts include the plantain chip guacamole, steak and eggs and the Cuban sandwich. This is my favorite restaurant in nyc !“

“Chino Latino food, a delectable fusion of chinese with latino influence. I really liked the old school vibe, kinda retro from grandad days. Food is tasty and portions are large, so come here when you are hungry. Crispy chicken crackling, served with fried rice is a favourite and don’t forget to ask for the yummy green sauce. I travelled like halfway round the world to this place when i first spotted it on instagram.“

“Was pleasantly surprised when I first saw them open. Had been looking for a new place to eat and La Caridad 72 did not disappoint. The food is, in a word, Delicious!!! It's been a real joy sampling the many culinary delights found on their diverse menu. They have something tasty for every type of palette. Recently tried their beef stew and I can't stop thinking about the sauce. Utterly amazing!!! Between their wonderful food and their friendly, top notched staff, you can not go wrong dining at La Caridad 72. Bring your friends. Bring your family. Bring your kids. You WILL NOT be disappointed!!! Enjoy, I did :-)“

“I don't know enough about Cuban cuisine to stipulate to its authenticity, but all I know is that the Cubano sandwich is really good for what it is! The bread is perfect toasted - crunchy yet still soft. Generous amount of protein. Just the right amount of mustard. Don't understand the mediocre rating; They're so much better than Sophie's, which has only disappointed me“

“My go to spot for Latino food in the area. One of the more expensive options in the area but it's worth treating yourself once in a while. Probably slightly more expensive than the higher quality halal carts out there. Spent $17 for my meal. As always, it's was cooked to perfection. Only complaint is that I wish I had some of the crispy skin from the pernil. All in all, great Cuban spot with plenty of options.“
“It's a small but charming little Cuban Cafe and Restaurant. Seating is limited to a cozy corner with a compact sofa and chairs. The coffee is delicious and Breakfast. The rest of the menu are fried delectable Latin meats like pork, fried plantain, longaniza etc... They also have options to order large trays, which is perfect for party's.“

“Tina's Cuban Cuisine is a gem that offers an authentic Cuban food experience. Despite its humble and snug surroundings, the warmth of the atmosphere invites you in for a culinary adventure. The dishes are a vibrant celebration of flavors, with each plate beautifully presented and bursting with the zest and spice characteristic of Cuban cuisine. The ropa vieja shreds tenderly at the touch of a fork, and the tostones are delightfully crisp. Tina's may be modest in size, but it's grand in taste and spirit, making it a must-visit for anyone craving a genuine taste of Cuba.“

“I'm all the way in my feelings missing my favorite NY food. This by far is my favorite spot in the city for Cuban cuisine. They are quick and easy and the food is always yummy. The grilled hot chicken and Verde sauce is absolutely yummy. Love them #givingempress ?“

“My team would often order from Sophie’s catering menu (pre pandemic). There was something for everyone and helped after lunch agendas to seem more doable There was always more than enough.It felt nostalgic to pop into this location for empanadas before heading over to Grand Central. It’s in a great location and although on 6th Avenue, the environment was clean and pleasant. The employees are friendly enough and definitely attentive. It’s worth visiting for a quick meal, eat in or takeout. Thank you.“
