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!“

“My ethnicity is Cuban American and this restaurant checked off all the boxes for me.
I ordered the Oxtail which they served me 4 large pieces that were very flavorful and tender.
Yucca fries were nice and crunchy , I requested a small bowl of Cuban mojo to dip my yucca fries.
The white rice and black beans were very good.
Staff very attentive.“

“Yesterday, I took my sister here for her birthday! We arrived around 5:30 pm and was immediately seated in a cozy little section in the back! Our server, Justin, was phenomenal and kept us laughing the entire time. We started off with the hot appetizers (chicken empanadas, crispy, shiitake wontons, and grilled shrimp with garlic mojo) -everything was delicious. Afterwards, we ordered the steamed shrimp wontons and our main course Bian Pao Salmon along with the ma-po maduros. Great food, great service. The overall experience was definitely a vibe. We will be back. Thanks again Justin for making our first visit to Calle Dao memorable.“

“The French toast stuffed with cream cheese and berries was fabulous!“

“Incredible Cubano, excellent frozen margarita 👍🏻“

“We were stuck in traffic, and I changed my reservation from 5:15 to the next available at 6:15. I knew we would be cutting it close for our 7:30 show time, but I knew we would never make 5:15. We arrived at the restaurant at 5:45, and I asked if we could be seated early. We were told no. OK, went to the bar for a drink. At 6:10, I went back, and we were brought to a table. My husband commented that he had noticed that table, and that it had been empty the entire time we were at the bar. We wound up having to rush through our meal and skip dessert (we had ordered the price fixe menu). I know that busy restaurants have to have policies in place, but we really would've appreciated the courtesy since there clearly was an available table.“

“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“

“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.“

“Good food, good menu and good waitress“

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

“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.“

“The restaurant combines quality with entertainment. This place offers tasty meals, fair prices and excellent customer care. The restaurant personnel work rapidly and kindly. I located a truly special eatery!!! Drop everything and go to this place!“

“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.“

“My meal at Sophie's Cuban Cuisine - Flatiron showed why people recommend it. The serving sizes here are enormous. Their service creates return customers. This spot maintains fashionable elements and tidiness. This spot earns exceptional recognition.“

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

“This restaurant has become my go-to recommendation. These employees show remarkable warmth and treat me like a regular. The food delivers flavor satisfaction and portion generosity. Tasty meals, fair costs and employees who really know their job. This place offers dependable satisfaction.“

“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.“

“My favorite hands down are the empanadas chicken or beef. They are delicious. And the green sauce remains acSophie's standard. I can't leave without getting a couple of them. I find the main course food selection tends to differ a bit from different Sophie's I have visited in the past but their cuchifritos (appetizer items) I have no complaints..“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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! 😋😋😋“

“I was Making a delivery to a nearby restaurant and I noticed Jennifers cafe . All I can say is WOW! . Great food. Chef makes you laugh and makes you feel like family . The lemonade and ice tea are great. Also ordered a crispy pork sandwich and it was delicious . Highly recommend.“

“Awesome!!! Great food!!!!“

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

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

“Al servicio de todos , y para todos“

“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!“
