We came here after a comedy show and lucked up when we found out it was also Latin restaurant week. I've never been to this location but the lobster noodles is just as delicious as the Bryant park location. I had the shrimp wontons and the lobster noodles. My date had papas relenas and the steak with rice and beans. Our meal was delicious but could have been warmer. We had delicious mocktails, we had a slight inconvenience with our steak being overcook but the manager took care of it with no questions asked. As always, I highly recommend. It was quiet for a Saturday night, much more calm than the Bryant park location.

Andrés was our server and he took very good care of us. They also have a deal for brunch on the weekend for all you can drink plus 1 appetizer (or dessert) and then 1 entree. The ambiance is very tropical and immersive to the culture of the food. I would highly recommend coming here on a regular basis to try all the different foods.

We went on a Wednesday around 6pm and there were lots of tables available! The interior is very beautiful and the aesthetic was a cool fusion of Cuban x Chinese. Since it was still happy hour, we ordered the lechon on tostones and were not disappointed. The waiter also recommended the Cuban sandwich spring rolls and that was delicious too! Additionally, we got the crispy pig's ears which was my favorite appetizer out of all of them -- crispy and so flavorful. The yucca fries were the biggest disappointment. They were hard and not flavorful, as if they weren't fried long enough or seasoned enough. We also got the black rice seafood paella which was small but packed full of flavor and seafood! The ropa vieja noodles were good, but the portion size was too small. Both of them were over $30 which was a bit pricey.

I love this restaurant. I had previously dined at the Bryant Park location and now I am trying the Chelsea location. It did not disappoint. The ambiance is warm and inviting. The hostess and servers are friendly and helpful. It is the unique and tasty menu that is the winner. It was Sunday brunch so I started with the Guava Screwdriver and the Cuban Sandwich Spring Rolls. Nice. Switching to a Mojito (you can change drinks during the bottomless hour). My main course was spicy pork sauce over plantains with a sunny side up egg. Delicious. My only suggestions are a larger dessert menu and a new location in the L.A. area.

We visited a few days ago on Sunday evening, a party of 6. Luckily there was no wait and we were seated quickly. The hostess was very kind and asked if we had a preference for high chair placement. We were not offered menus but noticed card holders with QR codes on them to access the menu online. I enjoyed the Max Ver as did my sister-in-law. My brother tried the Opium and said it was good. We had shrimp wontons for an appetizer but we ate them so quickly, I don't think I got a photo lol. They were really flavorful and had a tiny kick. If you like spicy food you'll like them. If you don't, you might like them too, my son did. Everyone really seemed to enjoy their main entrees and it was nice that there's a variety of foods to choose from. The evening ended with my nephews high chair breaking . One minute he was in the chair and the next he was on the floor. Thankfully he didn't get hurt but it was a bit of a damper on the evening. When we were in the restaurant we realized that our last visit here was almost 5 years ago to the date! I don't think we'll wait that long to go back, but we'll definitely skip the high chair next time.
