Valerie SMarch 31, 2017Spanish-inspired menu with super fresh ingredients. Very reasonably priced (and tasty!) lunch menu with large portion sizes. Can't go wrong with a burrito or burger.
- Tiam SchaperJanuary 12, 2015Every time I come here I always get a burger. They have a lot of variety here and they are all great. The best fries in the world are here also. And be sure to try the homemade guac!
Christina ChinFebruary 16, 2016Got manhattan burger, hollywood fried have chimichurri seasoning and parm, yum. Cubano seems like it's better as an app for 4 ppl then entree for 1
LindsayOctober 21, 2012Enjoyed the spicy guac, surf and turf with ribs and salmon, and burger was very good! Met the owner and he's a great guy. Will be back to support this new neighborhood spot
PhanessaMay 12, 2015The Cuban Classic for two is out of this world delicious, could probably feed 3-4 people (the leftovers are perfect for breakfast the next day...)
Ms HeleneDecember 17, 2012Roast chicken with glaze and 2 sauces was great - juicy, tender, generous and served on a waffle with choice of side. Steamed swiss chard was better than it sounds. Good value for $17 most entrees.
Shannon GalowskiNovember 16, 2014Amazing brunch - the breakfast burrito was delish! And so was the market salad. Great Bloody Mary's also
- jena savioMay 6, 2015Burgers are some of the best in the neighborhood, and the fries are simply addictive. Decent happy hour deals in bar area too.
- PhanessaAugust 2, 2014Great neighborhood place to people watch and eat a solid meal. The AG Classic Burger is possibly the best burger in the city and not overpriced.
Stephanie MetcalfJuly 2, 2012Don't assume that this place will be bad just because it is in the spot where restaurants go to die - it was delish! Get the guacamole! Will definitely be going back to try more dinner options.
Huey OOctober 8, 2016Definitely get the fancy guacamole. And the burgers. Then ask for the dessert menu- most creative display ever!
Jefferson BurrussDecember 7, 2013The fried plantains and pickled onion are not on the weekend brunch menu but order from kitchen with your Cuban sandwich.
Jess RDecember 1, 2015One of best guacamole! The fish tacos were pretty good. The other 2 people I went w got Tuna melt which they agreed was not good but who goes to a Cuban restaurant to get tuna melts?
The chopped salad is an excellent lighter option amidst the burgers and tacos. It's really fresh and delicious!
Marcela DPOctober 30, 2013Great guacamole! The Cuban dish for two is also amazing. If you go for brunch, the Huevos Garcia are a must
Jody NelsonSeptember 7, 2014Baja Fish Tacos, Fried Calamari, Fiery Bloody Mary and a Peach Belini... Yes please!
Lauren OrlandoApril 19, 2013Freddy is the best server! Sangria and margaritas are great! The royal burger was the best burger I had in a loooong time!!!
Stay away from the breakfast burrito. Barely any bacon or guacamole and imitation cheese? . But the Huevos Rancheros is a winner. Waitress was really nice and gave us a free side of bacon. 8 of 10
J. C. SmithMay 23, 2014Cubano, fish tacos, torta. And the salted caramel shake!! Great service. Great guacamole!!!
Jaycob BurnsOctober 27, 2014In addition to the Cuban-ish menu, they have a good burger game and booze milkshakes
Peter IkladiousNovember 19, 2016The service is slow and waiters don't know the menu. Considering it's an eclectic/fusion menu, you may need some guidance. In the end the food is OK, but generally unexciting
HamilleFebruary 28, 2015So simple to get the free deserts. A good and pleasant point to take a break and stay warm in the winter.
Get the turkey burger and pretend it's thanksgiving year round. It has cranberry spread and stuffing.
Honestly, these are the best burgers in New York but no one ever comes to UWS. SO GOOD
Emma LaurenFebruary 21, 2013Great service (Jeff in particular) and probably one of the best burgers I have ever had
Damian MerloDecember 27, 2015Awesome burger, fries with garlic and parmesan cheese are to die for!!!!
Delicious food - if you don't mind waiting a bit. Service can be slow, but it has improved!
Richard BlakeleyOctober 13, 2013Great place for large and delicious cocktails, try the Knob Creek Manhattan.
Scott WalodeJuly 29, 2012Great meal, the cubano sandwich was amazing. Service was of the hook, Melanie is the bomb!
Holly FrostSeptember 10, 2012Staff was nice but the service was atrociously slow. Bloody mary was great. They ran out of most menu items, so we re-ordered, then got all the dishes we ordered originally as well. Good lord.
You MUST try the specialty cocktails!! The Upper Westy and the peanut Envy are delicious!!!
- Nicole LeeJune 7, 2016People just come here for the ambience. Neither strawberry fields nor cilantro daiquiri tasted like their name sake ingredients. Fries came out cold. Even IHOP can provide hot fries… Just saying
- Nicky MJanuary 20, 2013Paella was good but unlike a real Spanish paella. Ropa vieja is a Cuban dish but again an ok version. flan or was it bread pudding? Good service but clearing and mgmt of dishes was not
Erika LynnAugust 24, 2012This place is so-so. It's a great atmosphere but the food is lacking quality. My red snapper mini tacos were cold and the tortilla dough was chewy. The seafood in the paella was good but not great.
Super nice but super slow service. Get the guacamole - chunky and delicious.
