Cuban sandwich was not bad - the bread was very thick though. the fried plantains were pretty good.

Cuban sandwich was kinda dry, the roast pork was overcooked, and the sandwich was understuffed. Mostly just bread. They also charged me a dollar more than the menu price. Meh. Can't see how some people are wowed

Delicious food and a super cozy environment. Felt like walking into my aunt’s kitchen with the whole family chatting and eating.

My partner and I arrived a few minutes before closing time and even though the door was closed, they decided to still serve us even when they were about to close. Not only was the service amazing but the Cuban sandwich that I had been craving for made my experience really good. The next time I come to New York, I’ll be planning on coming here again!

The employees/owner are so sweet and friendly. For a place to be so close to Times Square it’s really surprising to find, not touristy at all. Cuban sandwich was amazing so juicy and perfectly flavored. Simple, easy, true to Cuban food. They know what they’re doing. Highly recc

Cuban Coffee Media Noche Roast Chicken Flan Banana Shake
Located in Midtown Manhattan is a Cuban restaurant that may be a hole in the hole, but its plates are more than superior.
If you need a quick energy boost, this hot caffeinated drink will do the trick. In addition to having coffee and expresso, there is also steamed milk, sugar, and cinnamon.
This is equivalent to having a Cuban Sandwich, just without the salami. The delicious sandwich was served on Cuban potato bread.
The juicy, tender chicken falls right off the bone. This main course also included plantains, yellow rice, black beans, and pickled red onions. While I was skeptical about trying pickled onions, I learned very quickly how tasty this was.
And don’t be bashful with your helping of hot sauce; the more the merrier.
The homemade dessert is a Spanish version to custard, but denser. You can never have enough caramel sauce.
I went bananas over the banana milkshake especially when there were tiny pieces of the chopped fruit in this refreshing tropical drink. As a bonus, I was given an extra serving that was leftover from the blender.
If you come during the week, take advantage of their discounted prices offered on specific week days.
It was a great experience dining in this locally owned casual style restaurant.
full of peoplw when visited on saturday morning. cuban sandwich was delicious.

The best Cuban restaurant we tried in New york! Atmosphere is eatery style but still given them a 5star because they maintained the cleanliness and condiments are available on every table. The staffs are so kind and warm, they knew that we are travelers visiting the city, they were so patient and even gave us free food as a sampler to taste! They are their special items on the menu, different everyday. We came here on a Monday for their Ox Tail! The BEST! Soooo tender and the sauce is amazing! Plus the plantain and black beans on the side compliments the dish so well! They also have Cuban coffee which we really love and a must try too! Every cup is freshly brewed so you may have to wait a bit but its all worth it!

Margon is the real deal. Shrouded in the shadow of the Gaudy Cuban tourist trap accross the street, this place is serious eats. If you're from Tampa or Miami and have searched high and low for that perfect (or close enough) cuabno... Look no further. If you're a bit off the path from East Harlem but want counter service rice and beans with gravy and oxtail, Margon got you. The staff here are lovely. Always inviting, smiling, and friendly. I love Margon. I take all my out of town visitors here for a REAL NYC experience.

My son found this place. A true hole in the wall that is as good as any Cuban food I have ever had and I promise you I’ve eaten yummy Cubano’s, and Oxtail from the islands , Miami and …Blauvelt, NY. This place is as authentic as it gets. For a restaurant to be here for over 56 years says it all. This place is a must.
