I don't know enough about Cuban cuisine to stipulate to its authenticity, but all I know is that the Cubano sandwich is really good for what it is! The bread is perfect toasted - crunchy yet still soft. Generous amount of protein. Just the right amount of mustard. Don't understand the mediocre rating; They're so much better than Sophie's, which has only disappointed me

Tina's Cuban Cuisine is a great spot for lunch. They offer a sandwich line and another line for hot items. I got the fricase de pollo con arroz y tostones. I also ordered tamarindo juice. The chicken was juicy and tasty with the flavors dripping down to my rice making my rice a flavor fest. The tostones were tostones I don't think you can mess that up and the tamarindo juice could be too sweet for some but I enjoyed it. I will be visiting again for lunch very soon.

I stopped in earlier at the new 14th street location for lunch I had a Cuban sandwich with an order of fries all of which were amazing!!. The Cuban wasn't too greasy and perfect/easy to eat!!. Then came my 2nd stop in on the same day for dinner!. I once again ordered four Cubans my whole family loved them and we look forward to coming back!!.

This is a great spot to pick up a quick lunch. When you enter, it's buzzing with the chatter of the corporate lunch crowd. The moment you open the door, you are surrounded by the aroma of traditional Cuban spices. The staff works fast but is friendly. I've been coming here for years, so the sandwich makers know my order by heart. I particularly appreciate this place as a vegetarian - though the veg options are limited, I keep coming back for the veg sandwich - with swiss cheese, avocados, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, mayo, and Cuban spicy green sauce (I skip the seasoned onions). I've been coming back again and again since 2013. If you plan on being a frequent visitor, don't forget to get a point card. If you want to dine in, first you have to stand in line and buy your food, then you can go sit in the space in the back - the setup of the seating area is small and basic, but it makes sense given how crowded the place otherwise gets during the lunch rush.
Excelente food, and the costumer service is exceptional. If you really want authentic food, Tina's is the place to go yo.

4 stars because you can't find this great of Cuban food for this level of service, amount of offerings, price, and portion size at another spot near East Midtown. I've Ordered: *Veggie Plate (3 sides): Maduros, Yellow Rice, Potato Salad (don't judge, i was craving it once i saw it lol) *Side Salad*Tostones *Cheese Empanada + Spinach EmpanadaNotes: *Potato salad is a skip.*Tostones were good/okay *Must get the fried fish or salmon next time *Yellow rice was so fluffy, perfectly cooked *Empanadas were crispy af with delicious cheese inside *GREEN SAUCE IS THE GOAT. ask for extra. the white, garlicky, toum-like sauce was amazing as well.
