Cuban Restaurants in New York, NY

“Authentic as it can be. The food is excellent. The music was awesome and service was good. It was a little hot but the mojitos made up for it“

“The decor at Victors Cafe was absolutely stunning! I was pleasantly surprised by how beautiful and classy it felt, with a wonderful tropical vibe. Our waiter was truly phenomenal, constantly checking in on us and being incredibly attentive. And the food and desserts were simply amazing. I highly recommend paying a visit to Victors Cafe for an all-around fantastic experience!“

“What a gem. This cozy restaurant has everything I needed after a long day. The staff is friendly and polite. The space is comfortable - not too fancy and not too casual. Most importantly- the FOOD. The Salad Tropical was the most delicious salad I’ve had in my life - fresher than fresh with a unique and perfect blend of subtle flavors. I judge restaurants by their pork and the Lechon did not disappoint. Delicate flavorful seasoning complemented by tenderness. I will definitely remember this meal and recommend this place. Easily, I offer 5 stars.“

“Fantastic group dinner experiences. First with friends, and another time with coworkers. Happy Hour til 7pm has a good variety of food and drink specials. Great menu to share as family style The 2nd time I came, our group was able to enjoy their $45 3-course restaurant week menu. We had the pleasure of having Justin be our server on both occasion. Very attentive, great energy and sense of humor. Thanks for a great time.“

“I had no idea what to expect, so I was pleasantly surprised at how flavorful the fried chicken is and the sweet plantain was also excellent.

The servers were so pleasant. We had several come check on us during our visit, to make sure everything was to our liking. There are so many lovely dishes, I wish I was hungrier.“

“alot of food great staff food seasoned very well!!!!“

“Quaint spot in Soho, almost an institution. Small but lively dining room. One of my favorite spots in the neighborhood. Service was excellent, they took us even though they were closing. The burrito was great and the BEST Mexican Corn in the city, always cooked perfectly. Would recommend against and again.“

“it was ok .. i.have to say that the order we got had a funny smell as if it been reheates. el moro cubano dont taste or smell like that“

“We have never eaten there before and had an outstanding dining experience. Food was great and service was even better. Chef came out of kitchen and talked to us about the meal before he started cooking. We don't like onions and he made a special risotto for us Outstanding dining experience!“

“I ate at this restaurant during my Christmas vacation visit to New York. It is fantastic! The staff is friendly and welcoming. The food is so tasty. It was better than the big advertised restaurants. If you want a real delicious meal and some great music while you eat, go to this place. It's a hidden gem.“

“Awesome!!! Great food!!!!“

“The food was amazing had the Croquetas de jamón, empanadas de carne molida, and the pulled pork with garlic sauce which came with rice beans & plantains. The waiters were great & very attentive. Definitely looking forward to going back and trying some of the other dishes.“

“First time at Tina's... you know this spot is legit when all the local construction workers eat there too😋😋😋“

“Definitely worth visiting the food was delicious, drinks just right,* service warm and friendly and the ambiance nostalgic of Cuba. My server was from Guatemala not only was he excellent at his job he was a great ambassador to his native country. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Update this restaurant is still open and needs our business l visited today...see... updated pictures my meal was delicious as always I must say that I love the consistency of the menu.“

“I found this place through instagram and went in person had the sweet chilli wings and two empanadas, amazing! Loved it. Not a fan of the yuca fries they were a bit on the dry side but its always a hit or miss when it comes to Yuca / Yuca fries. The atmosphere was amazing, super clean place seems like a small family business loved seeing that. Truly recommend.“

“Great food and great service. The food reminds me of home and is reasonably priced. We keep coming back for the ox tail stew, ribs, beef steak, porkchops, dumplings and the boneless chicharonnes de pollo. Most meals are served with white or yellow rice and beans or vegetables. If you want to try something different, they have the beef liver and squid ink fried rice which remind me of squid ink Paella. The combination meals are a great option to try out different dishes. The staff and owners always greet you with a warm welcome.“

“The food was great. I got the classic Cuban sandwich and fries. The sandwich was a little smaller than I expected. The fries were excellent . The staff was fun to watch cause the were so busy , they were working together in unison and picking up each others slack when needed. The price for 2 Cubans and fries and a coke was around $30. Pretty typical of NYC.“

“the food was so good tasty and fast!! the pork was so tender and deliciois!“

“I was on the music tour and the band had gone to eat at the Café cello for breakfast and it was amazing the bacon egg and cheese on a roll was outstanding the coffee was great great price hundred stars. I need there every day if I could. PDC Nashville Tennessee“

“Wow wow and wow! I'm still trying to figure out how they made it taste so good. Their portions are substantial and their employees attentive. The experience at Sophie's Cuban Cuisine - Midtown West was excellent. Employees are assisting and pleasant. The employees were accommodating and the cuisine was incredible! I plan to visit again.“

“The staff is very friendly. The food is delicious. I am quite picky about how I like my coffee and I gave them instructions to make my coffee soft and with almond milk and they made it delicious, the young man always with a beautiful attitude I recommend that you come to eat here where there is a very pleasant and familiar atmosphere. Also excellent to take away and share a delicious Cuban dinner.“

“Absolutely wonderful customer service from all staff. The food is delicious!! By far, the BEST Cuban sandwich that I have ever eaten.“

“I love ordering lunch from Sophie’s frequently. We all love Sophie’s, since it has a selection of food for snacking, lunch and dinner meals. They treat there loyal customers well by providing $15 at least once a month, helping to reduce the cost of your meal. You never just buy one thing with so many delicious selections at affordable prices!“

“Sophie’s is a go-to for me when ordering small meals AND catering for my teams! The food is always excellent, the service and delivery is always perfect, and the communication is awesome!!! I absolutely love their food, and if you haven’t had their green sauce, you NEED TO! It’s the best of the best! I order often…sometimes for 5 people, sometimes for 150 people, and it’s always amazing!“

“Even foreign tourists can easily walk in and order.
I had a steak sandwich and the meat was delicious and I was very satisfied!

*The dining space is quite small, so it's better to go with the intention of ordering takeout.“

“love the atmosphere food delicious 😋 service is superb 👌 👍“

“This is a local Chinese/Peruvian food restaurant that gives new meaning to Chinese food! This fusion of flavors is amazing! I’ve had the steak with tostones, their chicharrón de pollo & many other delectable dishes. They also have a nice bar & make excellent Pisco sours which I can’t find in too many places! I live in Rockland County & the hubby & I take the trip about monthly just to eat here! Nothing fancy about the restaurant but definitely good eats! Highly recommend! The hubby &!I will definitely be back! 😋😋😋“

“Awesome!!! Great food!!!!“

“Don’t let this place fool you from its appearance because the breakfast is amazing. I love their bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on a roll with ketchup added. It’s crispy, fresh, and delicious. They have different lunch specials every day so be sure to check it out.“

“Delicious Peruvian and Chinese food. The service is very attentive.“

“Al servicio de todos , y para todos“

“We really enjoyed our dinner and drinks. The red hot sauce is the hottest I’ve tasted!“

“The food here is absolutely delicious — you can really taste the authenticity in every dish. The mojito sauce is out of this world and easily one of the best I’ve ever had. If you’re looking for real Colombian flavor, this is definitely the place.

The only downside is the service; it could definitely be improved. If you don’t speak Spanish, it sometimes feels like you’re a bit of a bother to the staff. It’s not enough to keep me from coming back, but it’s something to be aware of.

Overall, the food makes up for it — just be patient, and you’ll be rewarded with an amazing meal!“
