Another Friday night, realized I hadn't had a Cuban sandwich in months and was lucky to find…read moreBenny's Cuban Cafe within delivery limits (lucky me!). Happy to see the restaurant offering specials so I ordered Cuban sandwiches, Bacalao(fried cod fish), Cuban ham croquettes, Yuca fries(came with red onions) and regular French fries. The Cubans' roast pork was well-seasoned and accompanied with plantain chips, all items brought a delicious sauce, and fresh garlic, nice touch. The Cubans were 4/5, the Bacalao were 5/5, as were the Yuca and regular fries. I personally prefer different bread, with more pickles and ham, but definitely recommend this place and will plan a visit to dine-in, to try their fresh juices and other menu items. I ordered delivery so could not report on service, beyond everything was well-packaged with care.

Cuisine: 7 Service: 9…read moreDecor: 8 Value: 7 Overall: 8 Stopped by this Cuban restaurant that's been around for over 3.5 years. The Cubano sandwich is massive enough to feed two people. The flavors are a little off for me, but still a good version. The ropa vieja also lacked a little something, but they use tri-tip instead of the usual flank steak, which felt more tender. The owner Benny was also kind enough to give us some free desserts to take home, which were pretty good. With that said, what intrigued me the most was the interesting story about how Benny fell into this restaurant situation after swearing he would never be in this industry again. He is a strong believer in supporting the community, and has a nonprofit called Hungry Monk Rescue Truck that deals with food insecurity in NYC. We need more people like him in this world. Let's show our support for a business we can be proud to dine at.

The Cuban has great service. Came here once for brunch and once for dinner…read more Brunch was excellent and they have a nice brunch menu. We were seated upstairs because they had a large party downstairs. They have a fun Happy Birthday presentation as another table was celebrating someone's special day. The dinner food was tasty, BUT, everything was a bit overly salty and it made me very thirsty. I am not sure if it was an off night or if the food is normally so salty. We may give it another try in the future as I do love Cuban food.

I went a couple of months ago, so I can't remember my server's name but she was very personal and great to deal and talk to. I believe her name was Darla/Diane/Martha. I believe she said she was the manager. So I told her I LOVE huge portions and LOVE the hottest spices. She made a deal with me if I could eat a dish that no one could finish in a sitting. And if I did, she'd give me a shirt. Sure enough, I finished it and wanted my prize. They were out of shirts so she compensated me with a hat and sombrero for my date. The place was nice, clean and the food and service was exceptional. The only gripe is the small parking lot that only had 9 spots, but I didn't mind parking across the street. So thank you Darla/Diane/Martha for the service, food and being an amazing host with personal attention and being social. I'll be back and try to get that shirt next time.

This place was hopping for a Tuesday night and the Latin vibes were vibing. We were seated upstairs and even though it was a lively night I was still able to have an intimidate convo with my friend. The menus were digital and lit up when you opened them. It was such a cool touch. Delaney was our server and she was THE BEST! She definitely needs to win Server of the month because her reccs were spot on. She also spaced everything out perfectly, allowing us to have time to catch up between courses. Finally, she made me a lemonade that wasn't sweet at all and I appreciated her for this. The food was unreal. I mean everything was incredible. We almost liked the plates it was so good. I'm going to make it more of a point to come here.

Notes- Most dishes are a bit more, so see the photos, but not by much…read more I have been to this Ecuadorian restaurant twice at this point, though last time was long enough ago that even with my usual vast food memory, I barely remember what we ordered outside of it all tasting good. The most recent time was a few days ago, and it was excellent. The staff is nice, and the portions are generous for the price point, with two of us taking home leftovers out of the four people dining. To drink, three of us had shakes, or rather batidos, with the prices being $7 en agua or $8 en leche. I went with Lulo, which is listed as Solanum online, but really refers to naranjilla. As per the name, it means a little orange, but it is closer in flavor to a mix between pineapple and lime. Others had Maracuyá/passion fruit and Guanábana/soursop, and everyone enjoyed their drinks. They gave us some chulpi/corn nuts on the table, along with some aji verde, a lightly spicy green sauce which went with some of our heavier appetizers. Our heavier appetizer was two orders of the Bolón Mixto for $10. Bolon refers to a green plantain ball, and they offer the traditional cheese version along with chicharron, or with camarones/shrimp. The mixto combines the cheese and pork, and it was delicious, but very filling. One was more than enough, but we still enjoyed it, with the aji verde helping to reduce the overall richness. There was also the $6.50 Yapingachos/Llapingacho, or pan-fried potato cakes. These came two to an order and came topped with an onion and tomato salsa, along with some lettuce below. The potato cakes were a lot lighter by comparison to our other appetizer, but still flavorful. I would recommend them, as with other people who go here. Our smaller main dish was the Ceviche de Pescado for $17.00, or fish cocktail served either with rice or, as our choice, chifles or fried plantain chips. This was also available as a mixto, but I didn't order it as I have a pulpo allergy. There was a large amount of fresh fish inside for the price, making it very worth it. As with most ceviches, there was some sourness from the lime along with some fresh chopped herbs, onions, and tomatoes. It lacked a bit of heat I usually prefer, but I still liked it, and the whole thing was devoured quickly. Our other main dishes were all $19. My favorite of the bunch was the Seco de Chivo, with goat stew slowly cooked in home-made sofrito and beer, served with yellow rice, sliced avocado, and sweet plantain. The goat was cooked down until it was extremely tender, but still had a bit of chew, and there was a good amount of meat, even with the amount of bones in there. The broth was savory and mildly sweet, being warming, comforting, and perfect on top of the rice. This was excellent. For most of the other group, their favorite was the Chaulafan, a mix of stir-fried rice with chicken, beef, shrimp, egg, and veggies served with sweet plantain and avocado. The rice had a nice texture with some lightly crispy portions and was mildly salty. The meat inside was mostly very tender, regardless of what meat it was. This was excellent as well. The remaining dish was the Sango de Camarones, listed as a tropical dish and a purée of green plantains, slowly cooked in peanut sauce and shrimp, and topped with citrus red onions served with yellow rice and sliced avocado. The dish had a unique, almost gruel-like texture, which was a bit off-putting to some, but others like myself liked it. The shrimp inside was tender, and the dish felt a bit richer than the other mains. This was probably our least favorite main, but it was still good. We were quite full, but got some $7 Flan for dessert, which is in-house made. It wasn't overly sweet, which is my preference, and the texture was semi-soft. It was a good version, and the portion was large for the price. We liked this as well. Not many complaints here. Friendly service and good, reasonably priced food.

The chicharrones de cerdo and chicharrones de pollo are honestly some of the best around -- super crispy, flavorful, and always fresh. The taste is excellent every time. The prices are definitely a little higher compared to other places, and the portions aren't the biggest, but the flavor makes it worth it. We usually dine in and also order takeout, and the experience is always good. The place is clean, service is friendly, and they move fast. The only downside is the parking -- it's tough in this area, especially during busy hours. But even with the parking situation, this spot is still absolutely worth the visit for great Dominican comfort food.
