Chicharrones de pollo sin huesos, fried plaintains
Kit Michele G.

This place is good! I had the camarones al horno and finished every bit. The garlic sauce is seasoned soooo well, my only wish is that they put more sauce at the bottom. It was so addicting that I was scrubbing that pan clean with every last bite. The fried plaintains are also excellent, reminds me of how my grandma used to make them. And the chicharrones de pollo sin huesos were also good, maybe a little more seasoning but still excellent. The ladies who helped us out were so welcoming and kind. Would definitely come back to try other dishes!

The rice and chicken tasted really good... the chicken was cooked beautifully; please see the pictures that I uploaded so that you could see how easily the meat came off the bones... hahaha! The beans had a poor flavor. As someone who grew up eating beans, these were disappointing! Also, the young man who served me was nasty; he seemed miserable.

My favorite Spanish restaurant in the 207 location. The food is very good and price even better. I been coming here since a little girl with my dad the staff are so nice and attentive. You cant be disappointed the food here is always good i never had a problem coming here. The great thing to after Sunday church you can come with a group and get large portions of food for the best value ever. Also they got lunch specials just goo and try it! :)

a plate of steak and mashed potatoes

the food was nasty ,i ordered a steak with mash potatoes and the steak had more fat than meat and the mashed potatoes taste like instant mashed potatoes my meal was horrible and I did not in joy it . The guacamole with chips was the only good thing as well the drinks .the ambiance is all cute and picture worthy but my first meal I had was trash,I was so excited to try this new restaurant because it was my birthday and I saw a lot of reviews,I decided to go there and I didn't feel the vibe I wanted to feel .when eating of the roof top and drinking the bathroom is going down the stairs I almost fell going up and down the stairs that is very dangerous for people who are drinking and they need to use the restroom.the restaurant is a little pricey.

Margon - Cuban sandwich

Sometimes you don't need a fancy reservation... you just need a tiny spot, loud kitchen, and food…read morethat hits like a heavyweight champ. 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

There were lots of choices available - we chose the fried chicken chunks and the Cuban sandwich. All were very tasty - would have been awesome if the chicken pieces were boneless but it was still good regardless. We were able to sit down and ate the food there to keep it nice and fresh.

This restaurant is hidden in the middle of the block on 9th Ave. The staff is always friendly and…read moreservice is always stellar. Today we had the pleasure of having Wagner waiting on us. Wagner was great a wonderful personality and he made sure everything was to our liking checking on us periodically. I have been here before (the first time we did assorted appetizers) so but this time I dove into the dinner menu. The oxtail pasta was absolutely lovely, the meat was tender and delicately seasoned. I had the steak (I prefer my steak more on the well side) and the chef managed to keep it positively tender and juicy. Perched on top of a few slices of fried casava slices and a small side salad. You can never leave without trying the flan it's one of the best I have ever had. Service was quick and food was bought to us piping hot. The only down side is they oddly don't make pina coladas (it's the only thing I drink) and the restaurant was a bit too cold but other than that it was a lovely birthday dinner for my friend. Buena Vista is small and popular so I strongly suggest you make reservations if you plan on eating here.

Short on time, with just 40 minutes to dine, we thought we'd be wise to limit ourselves to starters and drinks. Greedily, though, we asked our server Carlos if he thought we had enough time for entrees. He said let's try! Trusting his wisdom and his consultation with the kitchen, we ordered the beet salad plus the langostino ravioli and the Chilean sea bass. To drink we had a strawberry martini and the guava and basil margarita. Every morsel was delectable. All of the dishes were colorful and interesting and robust with complex flavors and textures. The fish was cooked perfectly, light on the tongue. My daughter did ask for an adjustment to her drink upon first sip, and they accommodated graciously. We enjoyed our meals at an easy pace, got the check while finishing our drinks, paid via QR code, and made it to the show with 15 minutes to spare, satiated and satisfied. Regrettably, we didnt have time for dessert. So, good reason to go back SOON.

It's spacious and there are lots of tables and seating for large groups. There were only a few other patrons at the tables but at the counter I could tell from conversations a group of regulars. It's the kind of place that's definitely a neighborhood meet up spot. My server said I could sit wherever I wanted. I ordered black coffee and mangu with fried salami. I wanted sustenance and stick to your rib kinda food as I had a long day ahead in the nasty weather. The menu offered lots of choices. My food took about 15 mins to arrive. I wasn't in a rush . My mangu was prepared fresh, I could tell by the lingering steam that maintains its vigor till the last morsel. The pickled onions were really done nicely- the perfect amount to acidity I enjoy . My salami was not overly salty . I really felt like cuddling up in a blanket and staying in after that comforting homemade meal . I'm going to come back to try ptjer items when I'm in the area again. My server was attentive and checked on me several times. Overall a great experience. One thing to note is that tje bathrooms are located down a very steep flight of stairs and there no elevator, so access is limited.
