    Guacamole is chunky and flavorsome with corn, plaintain and yucca chips $11. Ceviche was too acidic. Plantains and dessert great. Happy hour ends at 7 for $7 cocktails usually $12.

    This 24/7 Cuban diner has saved me from many hangovers. Great vibe, even at 3am. The churrasco (grilled skirt steak w/ moros and sweet plantain) is delicious; ask for rare and you will get just that.

    This cookie & ice cream with espresso topping is delicious. Also, what I wanted for dinner wasn't on the menu, so our server Juan Carlos created a meal for me. Service & food are excellent!

    Instead of serving the usual menu of American, Italian, and Greek commonplaces, it seeks to transform the diner institution into a pan-Latin phenomenon, offering such dishes as sancocho, pernil, etc. Read more

    this is a solid restaurant, full stop. but among the cities 24-hour options, if is elite. there is no need to look past the starters and sandwiches, all of which will leave you satisfied for $8-$12

    Wow get the Mac and cheese (psss there's pork in there, fat and shoulder) because it is delicious. All breakfast options are under $10 and are available 24/7. Try the oxtail empanadas, so good!

    If you like burgers its imperative you try Frita Cubana! It melts in your mouth! My burger was bloody for me so if you want to avoid the bloody juices ask for well done. The beef empanadas are delish!

    Must get the Lomo Saltado - Peruvian stir fry beef short ribs, red onions, tomatoes, fries with a light soy sauce, ginger, sambal and rice. Meat melts in mouth and packed with flavor. #nom

    I adore this place. But don't get too swayed by all the mentions of the mac and chicharron. Focus on the cubano, steak, or huevos and then add whatever you want (and all of it) on the side.

    In a wonderful development, the home made hot and habanero Toloache sauces are now available for sale to take home, $5 a bottle. Go great on the fish tacos.

    The roasted chicken with the cilantro sauce was a moving experience—not something you'd expect from a chicken dish. Spice and flavor permeated throughout. I'll probably frame my photo and hang it.

    Highly recommend the Alitas 100 Curtis, chicken wings with a chocolate chipotle glaze, the chopped chicharron salad and the Hemmingway cocktail. A neighborhood fave with reasonable prices & fun vibe.

    very festive spot. sangria was so so, but the meal was on point. calamari was incredible. flounder ceviche was also good. Boneless red snapper wasn't all that boneless, but was very good. i'll be back

    If you’re in the mood for French fries, try some tostones instead. They’re delightfully crispy and salty, and served with olive oil

    The yucca fries were so great and filling. Oxtail empanada with hot sauce was so good! Definitely ask for hot sauce to eat it with!

    Cubano: Harold Moore, who seeks out the Cubano, made with tender, garlicky roast pork, ham, Swiss, house-made pickles, and a gentle brush of mustard. All that gets pressed hot and caramelized.

    pernil (roasted/shredded pork) is solid -- served on boiled yuca and topped with pickled onions and chicharrón. get some extra moro on the side. and a quilmes beer.

    The dulce de leche milkshake reminded me of the carefree all-american childhood I never had (because I'm not from here). Their excellent michelada reminded me not to mix lime and milk in a meal.

    This place is consistently awesome -- cheap (for the neighborhood) eats & a quality happy hour - 4pm-7pm and until 11pm on Mondays. Try the Hemmingway Royale cocktail, any of the salads, & the wings!

    Amazing combo of traditional diner and above city standard Latin food. All the homey dishes are great, but so are the cocktails! (Matador in particular)

    You can't go wrong with the empanadas or the lomito (with eggs for brunch or traditional style for dinner). The prices are ridiculously affordable given the portion sizes and quality. Open 24 hours.

    Organic turkey burger with a pickle was tasty and sizeable. It's also a good choie if you're looking for something light. I had the Guayabera drink (gin) and it was okay as far as an $11 drink goes.

    Huevos Rancheros, served over a crispy corn tortilla and flavorful moros, are especially good. Two fried eggs atop are splashed with a tart salsa verde and pickled onion, crema and queso fresco. Read more

    Mac and chicharron was DIVINE, and some of the best yucca fries I've ever had! The cocktails were amazing as well (though the mojitos were quite sweet).

    Oxtail empanadas are so yummy. Ask for the red hot sauce cause they need a little spice. The goat cheese salad is one of the best I've ever had! The Grand Palomo is super good too.

    Cubano cubano cubano!! Literally the best thing I've ever put in my mouth. It got to the point where I didn't want to eat anymore of it because I knew if I did there wouldn't be any left. Eat slowly!

    Roast pork and garlicky mojo in a pan con lechon would be enough on their own, but the addition of chicharrones pushes the porcine quotient over the top, while pickled red onions cut all that richness Read more
