The pernil (garlic-rubbed pork roast) is superb, and so are the roast chicken, tripe and pig-feet soup, and oxtail stew, served with white or yellow rice, black or red beans. Read more

Great hole on the wall near Times Square. The food is affordable and the quality is good. They serve cafeteria style. The thing to get is the Cuban sandwich.

Grub St.: This bustling old Latin luncheonette (bright red counter, bright yellow menu board) dishes up good cheer and soulful chow in equal measure, and also smooshes the city’s second best Cubano.

One of my favorite places in NYC. I’ve been coming since 2004. Faves are octopus salad, roast chicken, soups, the best Cuban sandwich, oxtail

They have daily specials on weekdays from 1030AM-5PM. They’re closed on Sundays. Portion sizes are huge! The workers are friendly too!

We never expected to find an authentic hole-in-the-wall in Times Square, but we’re so glad we did. And this crispy, meat-filled beauty is well worth braving the crowds. Read more

Everything is delicious. Been coming here 2 to 3 times a week for past month or so and it never disappoints. I'm not Latin but I would assume this is what latin home cooking is like.

Best Cuban sandwich in NYC! Great bread that is appropriately flattened. Filled with unctuous pork & salami and improved with tangy mustard and pickles.

Don't be late to lunch. They have the most incredibly juicy tender chicken, the kind you can gently pull off with a plastic fork, without needing a knife. But it gets a tad bit dry as the day goes on.

Coffee and waitstaff are awesome, so are sandwiches. An oasis in an otherwise horrible part of town. Delivery guys having a beer after their shift, this place is just awesome.

Delicious food and very friendly staff! We loved the breakfast and the coffee as well as the lunch. We came three days in a row and had a good time

Cuban Sandwiches. Mini-kitchen for churning out porky delights. There's a griddle used for melting cheese onto each roll so they're good and crunchy before they're stuffed with meat, pickles. <10$

The BEST Cuban food in the Times Square area! You have to try this Latino food, and cheap prices! If out here for lunch might want to get 2 Coronas for $5 bucks Cuban Sandwich, the BEST of the BEST

Most hidden gem for a true cubano. Worth going through Times Square to get one.

Best Cuban I've had in the tri-sate! The chicken chunks with their garlic sauce is amazing & authentic! My co-workers and i go to spot every Friday! 👍

Cuban sandwich or rice and beans (I like the Moros, mixed white rice and black beans) with either roast chicken, pernil, octopus salad, or oxtail

Fantastic Cuban food. Also great Manhattan experience. Very small and crowded, get food to go. I recommend the pulled pork or pork sandwich.
Norman EllisNovember 13, 2011
When I worked in the area this was my go to place for lunch. I eat here anytime I'm near. The price is right and the food always delicious. Whether its pulpo, bacalao, or pernil it's all good!
Argelys OriachSeptember 16, 2016
Relatively inexpensive as the entree portions are huge. The cuban sandwich is great! The rice and beans are also delicious.

Oxtail and cubano are amazing. Good with coconut soda

Cheap hole in the wall diner in the heart of midtown, an unlikely but delicious source for Cubanos and other sandwiches.
Rosemary DorsettJuly 27, 2013
Delicious dive for amazing Cuban food - all under $10. Go for the cubano sandwich or crispy chicken with a side of beans.

Authentic and friendly. We weren't sure what our kids would eat, so they gave us some extra samples
Jeff SchroerAugust 23, 2013
Best Cuban sandwich in the city. Order directly with sandwich guy up front, pay at register. compliment with housemade lemonade.
CheapismFebruary 25, 2011
Go here for fresh, flavorful & low-cost Cuban fare. Get a meat-packed Cubano sandwich w/ rice & beans ($9) & try the octopus salad ($6.75). Read more

Small tip. If you get coffee know we they ask you about sugar know that one spoon of sugar is a heaping helping.
Jeff SchroerApril 25, 2014
Order the Cuban sandwich immediately upon entering at counter on left. Pair w/ lemonade. Best cheap lunch in Times Square.
Barry KwokJuly 23, 2019
The rice and plantain sides are so good that I’d be happy with those as an entree.

I’ll say it again. Only reason to go to Times Square as a NY’er. 🙏🏻👌🏻

When you get the Wednesday shredded pork special, say "yes" to the red pickled onions and ask for an extra little container of the side sauce. The pork doesn't NEED the sauce, but it's still great.
Alex CanningOctober 22, 2016
Cuban sandwich, great any time
Nicholas OlsonOctober 8, 2013
Great Cuban sandwiches, been coming here for years. Today they were charging people $1 extra for "tax" though, seems sketchy.
Midtown LunchJanuary 12, 2012
If they have the octopus salad, get it! Also love the chicken chicharrones and their sandwiches up front. Read more
