Ranu RajkarnikarMarch 21, 2015Cozy little Cuban place, the calamari and red snapper are delicious! Love the plantain mash and rice and beans. Brunch is fun too and they have an unlimited option.
msMarch 11, 2015Personal favorite brunch place. All of the food is great (plantain omelette!!) and the all you can drink brings endless mimosas, sangria, margaritas, etc. all of which are great
Graylyn RooseAugust 1, 2017Nice spot for brunch with a large menu and a good unlimited drink deal! Music is a little loud. Try the sweet plantain omelette with chorizo and ham on the side. Bloody Mary is good too!
Hilary MarchJune 5, 2014Great deal, if you go for brunch you can get a rotation of endless drinks (for two hours) they're very attentive with refilling. The lobster Benedict is heaven.
Try the camarones havana vieja - shrimp, fried cheese & plaintains. What more can you ask for?! A glass of the white sangría of course!
Monique SmithFebruary 25, 2017The bottomless brunch is AMAZING! It's worth every dollar. Plus they have a champagne mojito... how much better can you get?!
Javier AndresApril 1, 2018Honestly - I’m drunk AF. The food is on point with Cuban cuisine - && im drunk off the unlimited drinks. Live ya life hunty - cus they support the foolishness
Brendy IglesiasMarch 28, 2013First authentic Cuban spot I've found in NYC, take it from a Cuban! The arroz con pollo was delicious. The ropa vieja was just like they make back home.
Tony XerriFebruary 27, 2012Cuban gold. Go for brunch where $23 gets you an entree and unlimited cocktails. Their recently added Lobster Benedict will have you speaking spanish in no time. Shame the music is on an ipod loop.
Angie JenieMay 20, 2017Quaint, intimate and delicious! I like the skirt steak and the mimosa. The sangria was also great.
Adam HillAugust 7, 2014The churrasco (skirt steak) was pretty rockin here...giant and delicious...really everything at our table was very good
Awesome spot! Unlimited drinks, drunch on fridays & amazing food. Can't go wrong! Highly recommended
Victoria U.February 16, 2015The brunch is crowded but is definitely a great deal. Small place with mediocre service but they have champagne sangria and good food.
Asli SSeptember 16, 2016Food was delicious. Place is tiny though and of course gets incredibly noisy and crowded for brunch- TerrellJanuary 7, 2014Deal: AYCD mimosas and sangrias with a Cuban dish for $23. Yelp rating: 4/5 stars Bonus: Brunch is also available on Friday!
Veronika SonsevMarch 30, 2013Omg...the yes leches is amazing. And i still think the oxtail is the best in the city.
Ashley L.January 14, 2012The vegetarian entree is amazing! Avocado, pineapples and cheese salad, rice & beans and sweet plantains = Win!! Great Restaurant!
- Lindsay CMarch 9, 2015This small spot gets crowded - highly recommend making a reservation (by phone only).
TLinTransitAugust 20, 2011Don't sit outside for brunch around 1pm. The lady upstairs waters her plants and sprays dirt all over your food/clothes! Cortadito is willing to replace all your food/drinks though!
CrowdscoreSeptember 29, 2011Unlimited drinking brunch! Need we say more? Check out their weekend specials and the very hospitable waitstaff at this Cuban hotspot.
Claire J SongJuly 17, 2015top-rate Cuban food and an hour and a half of unlimited mojitos, margaritas and mimosas for $29.95
Alyssa VansickelFebruary 24, 2015Biggest issue here was they sat 8 of us into 1 small table. We couldn't fit and the waiters kept hitting us when they walked by. Also the music is all over the place and super loud.
- Veronika SonsevMarch 9, 2013The ox tail is the best Ive ever had. Yum! Also, totally agree that yuca fries rock.
ZenFoodsterAugust 6, 2011This Alpha-City Cuban offers an EVERYDAY AYCD bunch: $20.95-$22.95 gets U an entree + unlimited drinks (sangrias, mimosas, & bloody Marys)- Nicole YaleNovember 9, 2013Brunch: 1.5 hours of drinking (tropical mimosas, sangria, champagne drinks) - $30
Al AlvarezFebruary 17, 2013Ropa Vieja was good. Palomia was a flank steak, 1" thick (incorrect) and was not cooked in onions and garlic. It's some sort of Latin, but its not cuban. That said the food was good, just not cuban
Patricia and Ricardo are amazing. Weekends are too busy. Go mid-week for a great meal and experience.
Tomantha MercedesFebruary 3, 2013Go to cuba on the west side! This place is unlimited for pnly an hour!!! Better deals to be had! !
Martha QuirozApril 12, 2015The wait is long the space is limited the service is shit. They are more concerned with turning a table then giving you good service or decent food. Never going back.
AllisonMarch 30, 2015If you want to be four people squished into a booth for two and then told "times up!!" after one and a half hours and basically to get out, then definitely come here.
Aaron MajcherSeptember 15, 2013Sit outside if possible for brunch, unless you wanna do some brunch time clubbin'
- Patricia and Ricardo are amazing hosts. The classic churrasco with rice and beans is simple and wonderful!
NaeMarch 27, 2016Food great... Drinks mediocre... Took little over an hour to be seated even with our reservations 😒
