Hands down, best lunch place in Midtown. Fast service, friendly staff, large portions, and perhaps most importantly, Cuban food! Plus, I challenge you to spend more than $10. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Chicken Sandwich or chicken rice n beans is a weekly lunch option. Come around noon, Tina's can handle a crowd well plus the foods fresh! Green sauce is the new platters white!

'Amazing Latin American food for reasonable prices. Get the Baked Chicken. The Peruvian Aji green sauce on every table adds that extra flavor and spice and is to die for.' -- Veena, Account Executive

Initial visit made me presume this was just an inferior Sophie's knockoff. Came back, got proper lunch of Baked Chicken, rice, beans and was not disappointed. Definitely satisfies the craving

Delicious, quick Cuban for for lunch. Get any of the meat combos - it's enough for two meals if you want...or just eat the whole thing and take a nap.

Generous plates and gracious staff. Fast service and authentic. Whatever you order make sure to add a beef empanada.

Lunch hour is always packed, but these meals are huge and meant to be shared. Sometimes I cannot believe $10 can buy this huge plate of food in NYC.

Very attentive and friendly staff. The portions are huge! You have a great selection from chicken, steak, pork and sides. Enjoy!

Good café con leche. The empanadas (beef, chicken, and spinach) are great, too. Good and efficient service. Healthy portion size. Food is great for a change of pace lunch-time meal or business lunch.

The food here is amazing and quite the bang for your buck. My only peeve was the waitress trying to "subtly" kick us out every 2 minutes. She even took her tip off the table in front of us! How rude!

Great authentic Cuban sandwich. (Make it inauthentic by adding avocado!)

Like the Pernil (Roast Pork) with yellow rice and sweet plantains. Make SURE they give you the green sauce (unfortunately "limit two").
Annie Dell'AriaMay 27, 2011
Fried pork sandwich is the BEST. They load on the sweet plantains.
