Times Square NYCJuly 16, 2012The goat cheese and spinach empanada hits the spot after a nine to five.
The Tank NYCMarch 10, 2012We've learned to line up at 4pm to beat the crowd for $1 empanada Tuesdays. Our favorite is the cuban when it's available!
They know how to make cafe cubano. Perfectly sweet. Genuine.

Jeroen RosenbergMay 29, 2011Order the "ULTIMATE" mojito. The 10 cane rum from trinidad tastes awesome. Go on saturdays and enjoy the live music.
Smooch BoutiqueAugust 21, 2010Excellent food... Had tostones rellenos, seafood paella and white sangria. All of them were A +!!! I would recommend this place to anyone.

Olivier LambertsSeptember 19, 2014Shredded beef was delicious. Had to wait rather long for our mojitos.
Fizzie WaterFebruary 15, 2016It's basically frozen food reheated for tourists. Great atmosphere though, so a good place for drinks.
Great spot in midtown. Great MOJITOS and the food and service is very good.

Try the pomegranate & blackberry mojitos!!! Also... Get the pitcher, so worth it!
JiyoungNovember 13, 2018Service is lukewarm and the paella taste like Uncle Bens rice. Empanadas are delicious though.
Get the mojito or a splenda mojito. Best in the land!And cute swizzle sticks!
dara lynneJuly 27, 2011Pretty decent Cuban food, large portions and good service. I recommend the stuffed pepper!
BaratundeMarch 24, 2011First and possibly only good meal I've had in Times Sq. I think this place exists at a fold in space time. It's probably technically in the Bronx
Richard RevillaDecember 14, 2020Food is ok, prices are very good for time square but place is showing it's age.
