“We loved this place, but they kinda forgot us for awhile so it took our food an hour to come out. Our server got our drinks and appetizer so fast, then he disappeared and someone else finally came and took our order and gave us water. But they were all very friendly and it was a very fun place with great food. Loved the garlic chicken and def get a side of maduros! So, so good. Chicken was fall apart tender and garlic sauce was outstanding. My boyfriend loved his meal tool, ground beef with an egg on it. Delicious mojito too! One caveat- it's VERY loud. We loved that, the live music was wonderful. But even before the music it was very loud music they played in the restaurant. It was fun, but be prepared for noise. Enjoy!“
“Benny's Cafe! What a delight the first time we ordered a Cuban sandwich ufff it is a delight the second time we repeated it with some delicious croquettes and at the end a delicious coffee and cheese empanadas! Thank you Benny for your great attention to all of us! What a wonderful and cozy place, the attention is 100/10, the food is beyond words, delicious❤️“
“Victor s Cafe is by far one of the best restaurants in NYC. From the friendly staff to the oustanding food n drinks. Met with a few old n dear friends of mine. No better place to meet than one of my favorite restaurants.The waiters Darwin and Carlos (Charlie); were friendly , attentive, pleasant, efficient and so willing to make sure we had an excellent dining experience .Continuously checking on us and making sure all was well. The food was amazing; the drinks were phenomenal. We ordered a pitcher of both ; white and red Sangria.We were all pleased with the dishes we ordered. From Sea bass and Shrimp dishes; to Pernil(pork) and Ropa vieja (shredded beef). The flavor was on point and all the food was eaten. Empty plates from all 4parties. The chef Jose Luis was kind enough to come out to our table and we were able to personally thank him for a job well done. My friends will definitely be back to Victors Cafe. They will as well refer people they know to come and try some good food s ; whenever in NYC. A reservation is something I would suggest for it gets pretty crowded. The atmosphere / ambiance is wonderful and a place you would be happy to have been able to experience. I have been coming to Victor s cafe for years and truly it’s a place that doesn’t disappoint.Enjoy your visit there; an experience you will most certainly remember. Last but not least; order the sampler for appetizer. It will give you a taste and variety of different and delicious foods.“
“We staying next door at the Muse and I walked the 20 steps to Margon to get a cafe con leche and tostada cubana. I was blown away. As born and raised Miamian, I can honestly tell you that the best cafe con leche is found at Margon in Manhattan. Hands down. And the ambiance reminds me of the old-school cafeterias and bakeries my grandfather and dad would take me to as a little girl. Keep doing what you’re doing .. loads of blessings and suerte, your way!“
“I got recommended this place by someone who has Cuban background, I figured, can't go wrong with it! I called in to pick up my order, the guy who answered my phone was very friendly and very welcoming when I arrived at the restaurant. I thought the price was on the higher side but the sandwich was so big that could serve 2 people and delicious! I'll definitely be back!!“
“I had lunch at this hidden gem. The restaurant is super nicely decorated and gives a very warm and welcoming feeling.The food is the perfect combination of Cuba and Asia. I highly recommend the spring rolls and wontons as appetizers. The lobster noodles was great as well.“
“Had a perfect experience at Bstro 38. Food was tasty, full of flavor, well cooked, and great quality. The drinks were flawless, well balanced and strong without the alcohol being overpowering. The service was impeccable-- excellent restaurant service standards. Our server (Starling) was friendly, attentive, and checked with us in a good cadence. The staff worked really well together and created a great experience. The space was dimly lit. It was inviting, warm, and casual.“
“From former owners of cafe Cortadito, Husband-Wife combo Patricia and Ricardo have returned with a truly remarkable restaurant in a tremendous location on the lower east side. There are no bad dishes here, but some standouts include the plantain chip guacamole, steak and eggs and the Cuban sandwich. This is my favorite restaurant in nyc !“
“We came for drinks during the happy hours. This place was packed with people. We had mojito and virgin pinacolada. The drinks were absolutely on point! I'd definitely come back for some drinks. Pina colada tastes like dessert! Creamy and dreamy ?“
“Really loved everything about this place. I ordered the Picadillo (photo) and it wasn't as flavorful as I'm used to, main reason for the star loss. But everything else was amazing: cocktails, churrasco steak, tostones with cilantro dip sauce, guava bread pudding, Cafe bombon!! There was also live music which was a pleasant surprise!!! And service was awesome. Will definitely be back“
“The food here is always 10/10 the rotisserie chicken is always crispy and delicious, and the rice and beans are always hot!! The little onion sauce is DELICIOUS!!! It’s spicy and makes the food super super good! I definitely recommend this place! Also the prices are really really affordable!!“
“Great place for entertainment, food was good. The drinks were sweet so you barley taste the alcohol, it was ok. Great customer service, the waitress was very nice in letting us stay until the band came since they was running late. Hopefully they expand into a bigger location for dancing space.“
“Havana Restaurant consistently delivers an outstanding experience! The customer service is exceptional, the atmosphere is always inviting, and the food is consistently delicious. It’s one of my go-to spots for lunch meetings with clients. I want to commend Manager Brandon for his exceptional leadership, and the amazing staff for their exceptional service. Don’t miss their fantastic Freestyle Thursdays event! Highly impressed with the overall excellence.“
“Chino Latino food, a delectable fusion of chinese with latino influence. I really liked the old school vibe, kinda retro from grandad days. Food is tasty and portions are large, so come here when you are hungry. Crispy chicken crackling, served with fried rice is a favourite and don’t forget to ask for the yummy green sauce. I travelled like halfway round the world to this place when i first spotted it on instagram.“
“Was pleasantly surprised when I first saw them open. Had been looking for a new place to eat and La Caridad 72 did not disappoint. The food is, in a word, Delicious!!! It's been a real joy sampling the many culinary delights found on their diverse menu. They have something tasty for every type of palette. Recently tried their beef stew and I can't stop thinking about the sauce. Utterly amazing!!! Between their wonderful food and their friendly, top notched staff, you can not go wrong dining at La Caridad 72. Bring your friends. Bring your family. Bring your kids. You WILL NOT be disappointed!!! Enjoy, I did :-)“
“Cuz I found out this place is this to the when I started seeing this place I started buying from it since 2000 I've been buying my Cuban sandwiches my rice and beans and my assorted foods and it's great it's never changes the people are nice excellent for our neighborhood we have something good every neighborhood got his own restaurants 188 has one and I appreciate it keep on doing good work“
“The most outstanding catering that I've ever ordered. You wouldn't think to go to a steakhouse for Rigatoni Bolognese and eggplant parmigiana but MAN! 354's version was next level. Every item that I ordered for my team was a 10 out of 10. The restaurant itself has a great vibe, but I'm telling you - the catering is where it's at! Great job 354. ??????????“
“My fiancé and I have been walking past this location for over a year and finally found the time to go in. Once we walked in and noticed that there seemed to be a lot of “regulars” that knew the staff, we knew were in a good place! The food and service is fantastic. Everything that we had was full of flavor and melted in your mouth. We started with the stuffed green plantains with shredded beef and then had the Lechon Asado con mojo criollo and Rib eye steak with a side of sweet plantains. The staff is very friendly and attentive. They were very appreciative of our compliments. The only thing we regret is not going in there sooner!side note: the skirt steak must be very good because 5/6 people next to us ordered it for their dinner!“
“Service was very polite and fast, food was fresh and tasty as well as plentiful. We had leftovers. We also got a discount for paying cash.Vegetarian options: They have Beans, Waterdress, Salads.Wheelchair accessibility: Walkin entrance no stairs.“
“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.“
“My husband and I went to Zona De Cuba for our 25th wedding anniversary ❤️ Everyone was wonderful! From the door man to the restaurant worker's ❤️ We enjoyed ourselves So much! A little expensive, but when Everything is good Vibes it can't be matched! The waiter even made a surprise dessert for us? I would love to go again ❤️ #LoveZonaDeCuba ?“
“Ronnie was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. He took the time to explain the different dishes and made recommendations based on my preferences. He checked in regularly to see if everything was to my liking and refilled my drink promptly. Overall, his service was top-notch and really enhanced my dining experience. I will definitely be returning to this restaurant thanks to Ronnie's excellent service.“
“My go to spot for Latino food in the area. One of the more expensive options in the area but it's worth treating yourself once in a while. Probably slightly more expensive than the higher quality halal carts out there. Spent $17 for my meal. As always, it's was cooked to perfection. Only complaint is that I wish I had some of the crispy skin from the pernil. All in all, great Cuban spot with plenty of options.“
“It's a small but charming little Cuban Cafe and Restaurant. Seating is limited to a cozy corner with a compact sofa and chairs. The coffee is delicious and Breakfast. The rest of the menu are fried delectable Latin meats like pork, fried plantain, longaniza etc... They also have options to order large trays, which is perfect for party's.“
“Probably one of the best Cuban restaurants I have ever been to. definitely my go to they messed up my drink today but they usually don’t mess stuff up. If you’re in the area check them out.Wheelchair accessibility: Outdoor seating and ramp going in“
