The flavors here are authentic. This was always my secret lunch spot when I worked nearby. A Pernil sándwich and a side of plátanos. While today I usually do take out they still have tables inside.

Try something different and check out this amazing, friendly Cuban establishment. Not many places to sit, but great place to grab a quick fulfilling bite to eat, when you’re on the go.

No frills resto serving some delicious Cubano food. I had the fish stew and it was delicious.

Mediocre Cuban food, not the most authentic.

I wouldn’t go back because of the service alone. I wasn’t even greeted when I greeted the ladies working. They laughed and spoke in Spanish which they shouldn’t assume people don’t understand. My food was thrown on top of each other and I wasn’t asked which beans I wanted. The food had good flavor but I had lost my appetite before I even tasted it. I threw the pernil out. It’s actually tasted old. This was just my experience and my taste buds. God Bless.

I Decided to give this place a try since I was in the area. I love Cuban food so I was excited to try the food. I ordered the pork chops with yellow rice and vegetables with tostones. I also ordered the baked chicken with rice and beans. I was surprised the yellow rice was very bland it had no flavor. The pork chops were baked and they were really tough it was hard to bite or even cut with a knife. I was disappointed because I couldn’t enjoy the meat. The vegetables were good. The tostones were also good. The staff were polite and friendly.

Cuban food right in the heart of mid-town, competitor to the other Cuban chain in the city. We ordered the Cuban sandwich and the oxtail with rice and beans. Friendly staff and good food, my only gripes is that the sweet plantains were not cooked as much as we prefer it. Other than that, the food is very good.

Staff friendly but sides are larger than meal which is why I can’t give a higher rating. I definitely did not anticipate getting full off rice.

Every time we visit Manhattan we make sure to stop in. It’s the best Cuban food ever. Be sure to get a freshly squeezed lemonade. You can get food to go pretty quickly or sit down for table service. Casual and quick.

I was looking for authentic Cuban food and I found this place in the corner of 34 street at Madison Avenue.
