There were only 2 other parties seated and we were seated immediately upon arrival. It's fairly dark inside and the decor reminds me a bit of New Orleans. I enjoyed the ambiance. The drinks were great! I had the cocobella while he had margaritas. The table bread was hot and fresh, so make sure they bring it to the table for you. We had the mussels for an appetizer, lamb chops and bass. EVERYTHING was excellent! The flavor of the broth for the mussels was Devine, so much so my husband used his bread to sop up all he could. The bass had great flavor and came with sautéed spinach that was well cooked. It initially looked like a small portion but turned out to be plenty. The lamb chops were cooked to the requested temp and seasoned well. We left no crumbs. This one is definitely worth a try!

We had the taco Tuesday special, 3 tacos and a margarita for $20 (a few dollars more for flavored margaritas) as well as the corn. Tacos were tasty and I loved that the corn was on the cob but it was cut in fours. One of the best parts was how fast the food came out since we were going to a 7pm show in the area. Solid choice for the area.

The place was decorated on the higher end of Caribbean tastes and drew in a diverse crowd. Will definitely be back. Chef was on point! Thanks guys!

I arrived shortly after they opened at noon and seemed to hit the middle of the lunch rush. There was only one server working, but he did a great job keeping up with the crowd. He was friendly, attentive, and surprisingly quick despite being the only one on the floor. I ordered the curry corn and the Pasta Rasta with salmon, and both were flavorful and satisfying. I was really looking forward to trying the rum cake for dessert, but unfortunately they were sold out by the time I asked. Overall, a solid meal with great service, and I'd definitely come back, especially to finally try that rum cake.

Walked into Margon Restaurant in Midtown and instantly felt like I found one of NYC's secret cheat codes. Small space, big flavors, zero nonsense. The kind of place where you're elbow-to-elbow with strangers but everyone's united by one thing... serious hunger. Ordered the Cuban sandwich -- pressed, crispy, loaded with roast pork, glazed ham, Swiss, pickles, and mustard. One bite in and I stopped talking... which never happens. This thing didn't just deliver... it showed up early and over-prepared. Then came La Bandera Dominicana Braised beef swimming in savory gravy, yellow rice piled like a mountain, black beans doing their thing, and sweet maduros sitting on top like the victory flag. Simple. Comforting. Dangerous... because now I want it every week. Place gets busy, gets loud, gets chaotic... but it moves like a well-oiled machine. Years of experience and zero attitude. Just good people making great food. In a neighborhood full of tourist traps, this hole-in-the-wall is throwing haymakers. Sometimes the best escape in NYC isn't a rooftop... It's a Cuban sandwich and a plastic tray. And honestly... I'd pick that every time. #nycfood #hiddennyc #midtowneats
