Sophie's Cuban Cuisine (45th)

The Cuban Sandwich was good, but did not have any ham. The pork was tender and flavorful. Wish you would have ham croquetas and Mamey for a delish shake. Also the frijoles negros we're a bit too watery.

One of my favorite lunch spots. I always get roast pork with plantains and rice and the portions are so generous (I could maybe do with more plantains) that I often save a third for a mid-afternoon snack. It’s not the best Cuban food you’ll ever have in your life, but if you’re in the area/you work nearby, definitely give it a try!

Great Cuban sandwiches and when ordering the Pernil with yellow rice and red beans make sure you get their homemade green sauce to go. Just remember that it's much spicier then in past years so watch out. They also make a kickass Cafe Con Leche as well. The staff is friendly and accommodating when making your order. Don't forget to check their website for opening and closing times because they may vary. Highly recommended.

Pros: delicious, flavorful food with diverse options huge portions (if you're lucky with the employee that's serving you) convenient location as it's near the rockefeller and time square train stations the space is clean and nicely lit cons: moody female workers. there is one guy employee who is cordial and professional. depending on the employee, they are very inconsistent with their servings. this needs to be looked into further because people are not getting their money's worth. especially with the recent price hike. expensive drinks slight inconsistent food quality. sometimes the rice will be stale or the chicken will not be as flavorful as it usually is. however, this situation happens very rarely. basically some of the employees need to be fired

Quick service, a bit rushed due to lunch hours. Nice seating areas and solid food.
