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!

Flavorful Finds with a Few Misses (and a Leap of Faith)
Craving some classic Spanish comfort food, I took a chance on this spot—even though it had a pending rating. Always a gamble, but curiosity (and hunger) won out.
🥭 Sweet Plantains – Perfectly caramelized with that soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture. A small bite that makes you pause and smile.
🍚 Yellow Rice & Beans – Aromatic, well-seasoned, and deeply satisfying. A solid foundation to the meal.
🥩 Shredded Beef – Tender and flavorful with a nice balance of seasoning. Definitely a highlight.
🍗 Stewed Chicken – Juicy, savory, and cooked just right. Would absolutely order again.
🐂 Oxtail – A bit underwhelming. Not as tender as expected and could’ve used a little more attention.
🍗 Baked Chicken – Sadly, the low point. Didn’t taste fresh and missed the mark.
Overall, I was glad to bring the food home and enjoy the variety. It’s a place with strong flavors and comforting sides—just be ready for the occasional letdown. If you're feeling adventurous and open-minded, it might be worth trying, even with that rating still in limbo.

Fast and consistently good food. They have a daily $9.99 special for lunch that's only available if ordered over the phone or walk in.

I got a large portion, but the flavors were hit or miss. Not very Cuban anymore.

Wonderful food!!!! Delivery food travelled perfectly.

It’s 12:30pm on a weekday and I order my food for pickup at, say, 12:45pm.

When I walk in, it’s the same every time: my order is ready, establishment is always busy but not to the point where all the seats are taken for dine-in, workers are super friendly even during peak time, and my entrée slaps (i always order something different)

The food is horrible, I don’t understand how anyone can eat at this place. I’m super disappointed. Yuca is never cooked or peeled properly, chicken breast is dry as hell, the sweet plantain is never ripe. Vegetables are undercooked. Mexicans cooking Cuban food is a NO, for me!
