    Ask for the Mofongo! It's an off menu item that is too delcious to pass up. Mashed plantains with shredded meat served with plantain chips to scoop. You can get it as an appetizer or main meal.

    Coconut shrimp, avocado salad & Churrasco. That's all you need to know. I have been coming here with my mother for probably over 10 years. It's always a sure thing. Oh and the plantains w/ garlic oil.

    Get the mariquitas (thinly sliced, crispy plantain chips with garlic mojo) & the churrasco (skirt steak with chimichurri & cebollitas). The Pollo Jamaiquina is basically jerk chicken.

    Everything in their menu is good. Try their mariquitas, bacalaitos and empanadas. Their staff is very attentive and courteous.

    Best of the 3 locations in New York. Prepare yourself for large portions and lots of salsa music. The red sangria is a must, by the pitcher, it's sweeter that way ;)

    The food is amazing!! Coconut mojiito is hands down the best. Small so there might be a wait but it's truly worth it

    The pollo con camarones is the best plate I've ever had in my life! The garlic-wine sauce they use is orgasmic! Literally!!! As for desert, definitely try the pastelitos, highly recommended.

    The churrasco was unexceptional...every Latin restaurant has a churrasco so don't bother it's really unexceptional Tne ropa vieja on the other hand was exceptional. Order the sangria no appetizer..

    Try their Ropa Vieja and Tres Leches cake. Their sangria was a tad too sweet. Other than that, good atmosphere and service.

    Nice and intimate Cuban Cuisine. The Ropa Vieja is excellent, the Flan for desert was awful. But overall it's a good restaurant...

    Didn't really like the food, the rice and beans is bland, it's like a chunk of sodium. The Sangria on the other hand was Delish!
