I've passed by Sandwichón Café countless times driving up and down Harlem, so we finally decided to…read morestop in for lunch--and I'm glad we did. At first, I was a little unsure how it worked since there's a service counter, but staff quickly greeted us and showed us to a table. Table service was a pleasant surprise. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, walking us through an impressively extensive menu. I ordered the Double Medianoche--pulled pork, ham, mustard, Swiss cheese, and sweet pickles, all pressed panini‑style. My friend went with the Pan con Croqueta, a ham and cheese sandwich topped with a ham croquette. For anyone unfamiliar (myself included), croquetas are minced pork that's breaded and deep‑fried. Both sandwiches were solid, but the Medianoche was the clear winner for me--warm, flavorful, and perfectly pressed. With so many options on the menu, there's plenty more I want to try. Friendly staff, good food, and a comfortable dine‑in experience. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. There at least two signs advising they will charge 18% gratuity to tables of three or more and will not split checks for three or more.

As far is food is concerned. you will not be disappointed, but service is extremely slow,…read moreespecially for breakfast. This is about the 3rd time we come in and they have one employee working the register and acting as server... when that line gets busy taking orders, you can forget about service at yours table or getting food that has been sitting for a bit. Will never understand why they don't prioritize dine in customer care. Took about 30 minutes to get our Room temperature steak and eggs, never got my corn fritters and they do not particularly care since this has been going on from beginning and they do not address it. Think I will go up the street to Sandwichon for breakfast going forward

Antonia is the best part of this restaurant. She's a sweetheart and has a wonderful personality, and really takes care of her customers. I actually didn't know La Palma moved locations until very recently, and I was so happy to find out they're still around. The new location on Grand is so bright and open compared to the Homan location. The food is just as delicious as before! I had a steak jibarito with arroz con gandules, and I was SHOCKED at the portion sizes! I could barely finish one half of the jibarito. My husband's lechon was super tender and flavorful, too. I'm so happy to know this restaurant is still around and that they still cater! I'm already planning my next event to cater through them.

Beware..... of yourself…read more Palm Sunday one of the busiest Sundays of the year. Most cafes get hit with the after church crowd. I sat by the back wall and witnessed what hostesses, waitresses, waiters, cashiers, chefs, cooks.... go through. A table became so selfishly rude and impatient. A restaurant full of people. *** if a restaurant is full and has a line outside... as a foodie.... that's a GREAT SIGN*** It reminded me of the times, I was rude, full of myself, immature, selfish, impatient, obnoxious, ridiculous, wrong!!!! I wanted to defend the staff so badly, I wanted to step up and say something. But instead I observed how poor of a customer we are and have become. All in all, the 2 waitresses, were humble, quiet, patience, pleading with the crowd, smiling, trying, cleaning, answering calls, welcoming each costumer/s, taking orders, preparing online orders, attending to each table promptly. Our food was timely, delicious, affordable, amazing. More importantly the staff on point is AMAZING!! I hope you each search your heart, think!!! One day your loved one, child, grandchild, yourself... may be in a similar situation. Treat and appreciate your waiter/s, delivery person, cashier..... and bless them. Thank you for an amazing meal each and every time. I hope the owner, appreciates and compensates the waitresses. You don't need to go bankrupt.

Crispy on the outside softer in the center. Ordered drinks. wait wait wait- even though we can see our server chatting at the bar. Not a good start Mine were totally crisped to death. Hard to cut with a knife without pieces flying across the table The empanada were fried. Really fried. Which ChatGPT tells me is the columbian way . But hard as rock Tried to not let this ruin the night. But was not successful. I am pretty sure these were not fried for the first time. ,. But second time around . Morale of the story, my wife will come back for chicken, I won't go near the place again.
