Brunch 24/7. Starters, entrees, cocktails, desserts, staff, atmosphere, value = A+. Every time I'm here I order something different and it's always The Best Thing I Ever Had.
Avneesh KohliOctober 22, 2017Get the chilaquiles for brunch. They’re tasty, and a great excuse for eating nachos in the morning.
SimoJune 9, 2015The Huevos Rancheros tastes great. Two eggs on crispy tortilla! Friendly boss too! Coffee not bad at all!
Best diner in the city. Food is always good, drinks are too, especially considering the price, and it's open 24/7!
Amanda GluckMarch 22, 2015Whatever you order will be fantastic, but the yuca fries and the huevos rancheros are fantastic.
Village VoiceFebruary 7, 2014Village Voice is proud to welcome Coppelia to the 2014 Choice Eats food fest! http://bit.ly/1cRzdNV. The Havana Salad has made it on our top 100 Favorite Dishes list.
Fried anything is amazing here. Don't miss the calamari. Great drink list too.
Try the new pulpo chorizo sandwich menu item - omg who would have thunk it .. sausage + octopus lol
Clay FoxOctober 11, 2014You probably came for the cubano. Good call. It's fantastic. Don't leave without ordering the mac and chicharron though. It's amazing.
John OutwaterFebruary 1, 2015This place is so authentic and it doesn't even feel like they are trying. The service was awesome and the mac and cheese w/ chicharron was amazing.
Udi RubinSeptember 6, 2014We had fantastic sangria, great corn and beef empanadas. For entree I recommend "ropa vieja". Lastly the olive oil cake was spectacular.
Anna BlumeApril 3, 2018A Cuban diner with amazing food and service! The spinach salad with goat cheese is delish!
This 24-hour Cuban-inspired diner serves up the expected array of breakfast plates, as well as an excellent Cubano and Mac and Cheese with Chicharron.
HashtagNYUAugust 29, 2014This is not only a 24-hour restaurant, but a 24-hour Zagat-rated restaurant. Yeah, they’re legit. This Latin diner is said to have the best empanadas in the city! Read more
Réjane TMarch 29, 2012All I remember is that the two dishes and plantains we had (along w/ a mango cake dessert) at 3 am were amazing. You may or may not be pleasantly surprised w/ a comp shot of Patron...
AnikaDecember 29, 2015**Go for the breakfast foods & the mac & cheese - very good.** (Don't go if you're trying to be healthy. Don't go for the salads & sandwiches. Desserts look better than they taste.)
Bruce KahanerFebruary 8, 2014Sat at the counter on a busy Saturday. Ordered the fish tacos and lentil soup topped with crunchy bacon bits. Perfect quick, inexpensive meal.
Time Out New YorkOctober 5, 2011Try the Mac and Chicharrón, a double dose of pork with a silky mix of American and cheddar cheeses, spiked with spicy sambal. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more
Elizabeth OtaolaSeptember 7, 2015Open 24 hours... That is what I learned when I showed up with my friends at 3am. Cuban sandwiches are heaven, ask for the hot sauce if you dare
Lars PlougmannOctober 5, 2014If two or more people warn you about the habanero sauce, then be careful with the habanero sauce. It is a great habanero sauce, by the way.
The New York TimesNovember 29, 2011Recommended dishes: Eggs, guacamole, chicken wings, lomo saltado, ropa vieja, arroz con pollo, roast pork, chocolate cake with dulce de leche buttercream. Read more
Alex GronbachMarch 29, 2019Friendly and helpful service, great food, and a comforting diner atmosphere
Tyler CaineFebruary 1, 2015Let's talk burger. The shredded pork over a beef patty is intriguing, but the unseasoned meat and plain potato bun leave flavor falling short. The highlight was the smokey, spicy ketchup.
Can't go wrong here. Personal faves: cocktail - matador (best spicy marg), ceviche - best I've ever had, Mac & chicharron - OMG.
Elena V.July 9, 2011Love the refreshing passionfruit juice! Ropa Vieja tastes just like homemade & the desserts are great. The late night servers sometimes mix things up so just make sure they write everything down.
Sonny KwokOctober 12, 2015First off, 24 x 7, awesome, lomo saltado is great, ceviche and empanadas are all great!
Pictured: Flan with scoops of mango and coconut sorbet. Not on board with the flan as it's too thick and creamy.
First We FeastAugust 3, 2014The Frita Cubana Burger wins anytime of day, but the fact that you can get it at 5am is pretty awesome. Read more
Ernesto GutierrezSeptember 30, 2017The churrasco steak is the way to go. Very tender cut and the chimichurri sauce complements it nicely 👌
StonehengeNYCDecember 11, 2011A most wonderful place to stumble into at 2 a.m. The chicken arepa is a combination of salty, tangy, creamy goodness that you won't want to miss. Or revel in round the clock breakfast.
Devin ParkerJuly 4, 2018The empanadas are really good. French toast comes as just a small order. You ain’t get full if you order that. The white sangria was tasty.
Mayank MahajanJuly 30, 2017Reasonable prices and a huge menu of delicious breakfast and authentic Cuban food. Try the Cubsno sandwich!- Luna JayDecember 19, 2014Breakfast menus are great, especially the ones with Cuban toast! Very cute diner-esque vibe.. standard good Cuban place !
- Max WendkosApril 28, 2019Harold Moore, chef/owner of Bistro Pierre Lapin, recommends the Cubano sandwich.
Maria Emilia VargasJanuary 7, 2019Cheap. Fast. Delicious. Arepas are really good if you like them on the sweet side. Empanadas are on point!
Monti BrayAugust 24, 2014Don't even read past the breakfast options on the menu, you can't go wrong with midnight eggs and potatoes.
Mike ManjonJuly 29, 2016Great food, service and atmosphere and it's open 24/7?!? For a night owl like me this place is perfect!
Get the enchilada suizas (one of the best in NYC). Their hot sauce is habanero; so be prepared to go all or nothing.
Kimmie OhhDecember 5, 2019Get their Mac & cheese with chicharron as a guilty pleasure then get the aguacate Caesar salad so you won’t feel so bad.
Pratheeksha KSDecember 15, 2018What a great late night spot. 24h breakfast is amazing. Get huevos rancheros after a fun night
Amazing sweet potato fries! Go for the Pan con Lechon sandwich—garlicky mojo sauce spread, savory chicharron bits and pull pork amazingness.
Ms HeleneDecember 13, 2014Nachos-vertically stacked to maximize topping on crispy corn chips with cheese, beans, guacamole, beef chunks, queso & jalapeño $7. Avoid soggy yuca fries with oily dressing $5.
Pam De SilvaOctober 6, 2015Ask for their dessert menu and order a spiked milkshake! They're insanely delicious while disguising a decent amount of booze in them.
Jeremy JacobowitzOctober 11, 2014Had the Frits Cubans burger! Seriously good! Super juicy burger topped with roasted pork and chiccaron! Loved it!
HillelMarch 27, 2015Order the pernil or churasca. This place is legit. Chicharon for an appetizer with a drink is the way to go.
Tyler MuseSeptember 21, 2014All kinds of Latin food. Try the arroz con pollo or the lomo saltado. Great cocktails too and open 24 / 7
