I wandered in here with luggage over extended and the type of hungry that gives you a blinding headache. I ordered quickly, but realized I had made a mistake when they brought it out (vegetarian). They were very kind and quickly made and brought out what I had meant to order. Coffee is exceptional and food was devoured.

I love this place, was the last recommendation to come here by a late friend who passed (womp womp) and we finally got to go. His recommendation did not disappoint - the customer service was so incredible, the employees all so kind! The Media Noche and the Cubano were incrrrrredible. Media Noche had a slight sweetness that tickles the tongue and the Cuban was just savory and perfection. The croquetas de jambon y queso were the besssst, the sauce they came with was definitely reused on our sandwiches because it was so good. Will rave about this place!!

I was excited to try this and my expectations were a bit too high. My partner got the cuban, and it was fine, nothing special. I got a bowl and it was sooo bland. The avocado tasted like what you buy at whole foods - all you taste is the sourness from the preservative to keep it from going brown. Underwhelming and we won’t be returning as the prices don’t reflect the quality. I am latina btw maybe thats why i expected stronger flavors.

Had this saved from the NYT “57 sandwiches that define NYC” list and decided to try it after I was in the area.

I got the Cubano, and I was hoping it would be a lot more flavorful. Cute spot, but I unfortunately wasn’t impressed with my sandwich.

The server waited 15 mins to give me a tostada . That’s all I ordered. And when I asked on the status , she saw it sitting there just sitting on the counter getting cold. She grabs it and and forcefully handed it without even looking in my direction. This is type of place where you learn customer service . Hire someone else guys. You lost a customer over hiring entitled people.

Have tried a lot of the menu... the Cuban sandwich isn't a world beater but it's still solid... nothing on the menu will disappoint you that's for sure. Really nice people and cozy cafe with great music

Incredible place with phenomenal food and good ambiance and music. My favorites are the croquetas and medianoche. The consistency of the coffee drinks varies but one of the times I had the iced mocha is one of the best I ever had!

Tico's makes hands down the best cuban sandwich in nyc by far. As a miami Cuban, ive been searching for a place this good gor years. Actually authentic and perfectly executed 💯💯

Really cute spot that I was excited to try. My partner got the Cuban and wished it had been cooked more. I got one of the bowls and it was really bland. We then ordered some sauces on the side, which made it so much better, but it was $1 for a tiny side of sauce and we had to bug them a bit to give us the sauce so we could finish the meal. Not bad, but just underwhelming
