Moro (black beans and rice)  with bacalao.
Ivie P.

I walked passed this place many times on Broadway. This establishment has been here for years and always has great reviews. Today, I decided since it's Friday, not to cook and order take out food from this eatery. I asked if they have octopus salad. She show me a small container and said yes, that it's this one. I looked at the opaque container and asked both persons behind the counter in Spanish it doesn't look like "ensalada de pulpo" (octopus salad). Both said it is. I asked how much and told it's $11.99. OK , so we're still in a pandemic and with the economic inflation problem we're having, I realized price went up for that small container. I ordered 2. I also ordered moro (rice and black beans mixture, culinary known as Moors and Christian rice) and bacalao (vizcaino style that is basically stewed codfish). The octopus salad, rice and codfish cost $37.97. All 3 dishes, are generically Cuban/Basque cuisine that I personally know how to prepare and cook to perfection, regardless if made at a Latin Caribbean eatery whether Dominican, Puerto Rican, Haiti or Cuban restaurant, the basic preparation of ingredients are the same. It can be tweaked but the dish concept is practically the same. When I got home and open the container of octopus salad, noticed it is not octopus, but calamari. Calamari is NOT baby octopus. I tasted it and did not have that ceviche flavor that is known for octopus salad. It was very bland and disappointing. I had to go old school, and add olive oil, white vinegar, fresh lime, oregano, basil, tomatoes, more chopped onion and most importantly, the Goya adobo seasoning to provide that authentic ceviche flavor that is known in octopus salad and noticeably missing. Only thing I didn't have available to add, was cilantro. OK so now I corrected the flavors to the existing calamari to have it taste like an authentic octopus salad. I had to redo the dish because they told me it was octopus salad, when it was not, in flavors nor ingredients. Although I have the ceviche flavors corrected, using calamari does not give it that gastronomic experience I was expecting. The rice and bacalao were passable. As for the "octopus salad", it's very disappointing that the staff would incorrectly identify as such. As for revisiting this place to order food again.... It's a NO from me!!!!

Asopao de Marisco (plated at home)
Karina T.

My bf & I were in the mood for some seafood soup so we decided to place an order with Junior's. We ended up calling before placing our ordering on Ubereats to inquire about the soup sizing. The person who answered was nice & informative. We ended up going with a large Asopao de Marisco. I was really impressed with the size and amount of seafood it included. It came in a 32 Oz container, with a smaller 16 Oz container all for $25. The soup overall was delicious. They were very generous with the seafood servings it had 2 lobster tails, a few small crab legs, clams, calamari, and plenty of shrimp. The only thing I wish was that they were a little more generous with the rice, maybe giving the option to add on a side of rice. On Ubereats they don't have too many side options. Overall I'm adding this place to my takeout roster whenever I'm in the mood for some seafood soup, definitely recommend!

I love Juniors. Why? Food is pretty much always fresh as it always has customers coming in. It is primarily a seafood restaurant, while I am not big on seafood my friends who have tried it have enjoyed it. I just usually get the grilled chicken breast with onions combo ( either veggies carrots and broccoli) or with mash potatoes. This combo is generally $8-$10 and they give a lot of food. Place is perfect when you come out of one of the local gyms and are trying to get something quick, but healthy. It's very narrow so there isn't much space to sit and eat. Think of it as a "to go" restaurant.

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.
