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!“

“I had made a reservation for Thursday night, and that was probably a good idea. It was very busy when we arrived so we might have had a wait if I hadn't made a reservation.

I can see why they were so busy there; food, atmosphere and service were all excellent, easy to see why it's so popular.

We both had cubanos (I had the Classico and my husband had the Steak Sandwich), which were honestly so good. Portions are large, I had ordered a side of plantains but was under pressure to finish them after the size of the cubano!

It's loud in there, but you can still have a conversation. Funky energetic feel to the place, I really liked it, and would have no hesitation recommending.“

“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.“

“The vibe really puts me in the mood! It’s like a chilled and peaceful oasis in the bustling midtown. The food is very pleasant, creative, and delicious. I love the Cuban and Chinese fusion and it opens a whole new realm of flavors and tastes! The famous Cuban sandwich with marinated pork belly and the yuca fries are must try.“

“This place is definitely a bang for your buck! A lot of food for the normal entree price in NYC. The place is small and kind of tucked away in the East Village. The service was quick and tables were intimate. Pretty casual joint as well. Food is good! I recommend to the restaurant for their chips though either swap them for plantain chips or homemade to tortilla chips to go with their guacamole! Everything else was fresh“

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

“Incredible Cubano, excellent frozen margarita 👍🏻“

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

“Good food, good menu and good waitress“

“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.“

“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.“

“Every time I go to this location it feels like I'm going to my cousin's house! The workers are so friendly and I go so often that it seems they all know my name now lol. I'm just sad Wonder removed my favorite meal from the menu 😩 I will be reaching out to corporate because how dare they!? Lol The zesty Chicken bowl from Yasas is absolute GOLD in the form of food!“

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

“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.“

“OMG I was looking for parking outside of Sophie's, to go to a hospital appointment & I was like omg a cuban restaurant I had been craving a good Cubano Sandwich for about 5 yrs so I downloaded app & ordered.. by the time it was ready I found a spot.. it was very reasonably priced especially for Manhattan but most of all it was AMAZING... im literally waiting for my next appointment great food , clean environment & nice people“

“A good lunch choice with good flavor. And, so close to Grand Central.

I got the quarter chicken with Garlic Yuca. Their green sauce is so flavorful.

It so happened that my ordering app had an error and ordered 3 of the lunches and they were good enough to cancel the other 2.

Nice service!“

“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.“

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

“The mojo pork with moro rice was delicious, and I highly recommend it. I also ordered a guava and cheese empanada and got a beef one in my order instead. It was fine, but it wasn't what I really wanted. Word to the wise: pass on the tres leches. It's a flavorless cake with the wrong texture swimming in a pool of evaporated milk. The taste is wrong, the texture is wrong, and two of the three milks are missing.“

“Another fantastic lunch at Sophie's Cuban in Tribeca! The baked chicken entree is my favorite - nicely seasoned, tender, and flavorful. It comes with generous portions of sides that complement the dish beautifully. The casual, welcoming atmosphere makes it a great spot for a quick lunch or leisurely meal. Service is always friendly and efficient. Sophie's continues to deliver authentic Cuban flavors that keep me coming back. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!“

“A quaint little Cuban spot right on Fulton Street and close to Seaport, with good lunch deals and prices. There’s also plenty of seating inside if you wanted to eat in. We got the pernil with rice and plantains combo, and it was a decent amount for us to split. I would’ve liked more green sauce personally, but the meat was flavorful enough without it too. If you’re craving quick Spanish food, this is a good place to pop into“

“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! 😋😋😋“

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

“Awesome!!! Great food!!!!“

“Saw a video online for the breakfast burrito so I went to try it. I got a ice tea, empanada and burrito for 15 dollars the tea wasn't that great the empanada had great flavor and the sauce I was given was delicious the burrito was very small not like I saw in the video. The lady was friendly and they have a few seats if you want to sit there.“

“Al servicio de todos , y para todos“

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

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

“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!“
