Was looking for a Cuban sandwich and came across this place. The bellman at the hotel I was staying at also highly recommended it. I was a bit skeptical being from Miami and knowing a good Cuban sandwich, but I wasn’t expecting very impressed. The sandwich was so…good.
The space is a little tight, so it might make make it difficult to find a spot to sit, especially during the lunch rush. But I shared a table with another gentleman and gave us the opportunity to chat - that probably sounds like a nightmare for most people - but quite enjoyed getting to know a local.
Although I didn’t try the other food, it looked really good. Just make sure you get there early since they close at 5:00 PM.
This was my favorite place when I visited Times Square. I asked a bellhop where he ate when he got off work. This is authentic mouth watering Caribbean soul food. Not a fancy tourist diner. More of a real ethnic meal like when your at family and friends house. Tons of flavor and the people working were kind, funny, joyful and very outgoing. Will be my one “go to” place whenever I’m in town.
I have no idea what I ate. I only know it was lamb and chicken. The lamb had the most warm comforting flavor. Perfectly seasoned. DONT MISS THIS PLACE!
Cuban Sandwich and Roasted Chicken were amazing. All of them had great spices and a great amount of proportions. Also, the rice with blacm Bean and Cassava was definitely worth trying.
During lunch hour this place is madness so I would definitely recommend going right before the rush or towards the end which is around 1pm or order in advance. I only ordered a Cuban sandwich this time which was delicious. So simple but done very well. There's tables along the side for you to sit if you can get a seat. I would definitely come back to try other things like the oxtail platter.
What a lovely little authentic gem in Times Square. Delicious food. Make sure you know what you're doing when you order, they mean business. Very busy at lunch and they run out of certain things.
