    Best to order online. If you go in person and do not speak Spanish, they mostly ignore you. Standard operating procedure in Spanish Harlem

    Two of us ordered the Red snapper dinner and the Shrimp Mofongo, which was so much food that it lasted us 2 days.

    We were able to get a last-minute reservation at 7p on the Sunday before Memorial Day and entered…read morewhat was a pretty empty establishment. 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!

    I came here to leave a review and am so distraught over learning that this place has closed! It was…read morehands down one of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had - from the service to the drinks and the food. I dined there back in March and to this day I rave about the dish I had. The owner was extremely accommodating, pleasant and friendly. I hope they reopen somewhere else! He told us that he had another restaurant close by, I'll have to try that one if I can figure out the name of it.

    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

    Our 1st meal of our girlfriends' trip to NYC was at Margon. 3 of us shared two dishes for lunch…read moresince we weren't sure whether we could finish all the food if we each had our own. The roasted chicken was delicious- the meat "fell off" of the bone! The sides were pretty good too. The restaurant was very busy during lunch. We had arrived slightly before the large crowd/line. It was nice that there was seating available for those who wanted to dine there. The service was fast and the staff were friendly., Highly recommend checking out for some delicious Cuban food!
