Tina's Cuban Cuisine New York Reviews
Just enough creativity without being weird. I must point out, the proprietors are truly delightful people. The food never disappoints. The service never falters. The prices never shock. This place rewards those who love food. The overall visit was wonderful.
My honest opinion is that you should try this place. The staff shows remarkable kindness and spending time there feels truly inviting. The flavors were unbelievable! The food impresses for taste while offering freshness and nutrition. This place is impressive and will become my regular choice.
I ordered the baked chicken, rice &beans with sweet plantains and it was absolutely delicious. The food was hot, fresh, and seasoned to perfection. The staff were also very kind and fast for the amount of people that were ordering. The only bad thing is that their 2go containers are very flimsy and don’t close making the food spill in the bag. I will definitely be back! Thank you
Tina's was the perfect place to find on National Cuban Sandwich Day. The staff was so attentive, efficient and welcoming! All good but the food, well, it came back to Jersey and my wife could not believe how well balanced the empanada was (dough to filling) and she loved the flavor of the Cuban sandwich. Mind you, she's been making Cubans for almost 30 years. I agreed, only after she mentioned it. Buena gente, buen provecho y un ambiente Cubano for Manhattan Perfecto. ¡Se la comiéron!
I get lunch here pretty often and it’s consistently tasty. They give generous portions of chicken, salmon, rice, beans. I really like the plantains as a side. The staff are friendly and the store is pretty well organized for its small space. I like the green sauce but be careful with it if it’s your first time- it is a little spicy.
Have been coming here the past few weeks and really enjoy their empanadas. Today the chicken empanadas were a bit more saucy which I really liked compared to our last visit. But both beef and chicken are equally delicious. Perfectly crispy, doughy and flavorful. Their green sauce gives you a nice kick. Sadly our usual order has doubled in price. Understandably. We will continue to support your establishment as much as we can afford because my family truly loves it. Hope others will too. We thank you for being open during this crisis. Keep up the great work!
While primarily a takeout place, indoor seating is available at the back. $17.47 (tax included) gets you a main dish and 2 sides. The portion size is adequate with flavors best described as hearty home cooking. With the pernil (roast pork) make sure you ask for the green hot sauce and the pickled onions. And where else can you get fried yuca?
Food was decent but I think they tame down the flavors for American taste buds.
Ordered the pork chops with rice and beans and green plantains but they missed the beans. Called them and they offered to delivered the bean to me but at this point when you are hungry and ready to eat doesn’t matter because by the time the beans would arrive the rest of the food would be cold and saggy. Overpriced for sure. How can they consider rice and beans a side for a platter. What kind of combo is that?
I had an incredibly disappointing experience with Tina’s Restaurant delivery service. I placed an order for my brother, who was receiving chemotherapy at Memorial Sloan Kettering (160 E 53rd St.), and the delivery driver refused to bring the food beyond the lobby, despite my clear instructions. When I explained on the phone that my brother was too ill to come downstairs, the driver simply said “lobby” and hung up on me. I had prepaid for the order and included a 20% tip, thinking the service would be respectful. Instead, it was rude and inconsiderate. I called the restaurant to request a refund for the tip, considering the circumstances, but they refused and were just as unhelpful as the driver. If the restaurant is unable or unwilling to deliver directly to patients at this location, they should have notified me before accepting the order, like other restaurants have done in the past. The insensitivity and lack of customer care from both the driver and the restaurant were shocking. I believe my request for a tip refund was reasonable, given the situation, but the restaurant’s refusal speaks volumes about their poor service. I do not recommend Tina’s Restaurant to anyone, especially if you’re looking for a reliable and compassionate delivery service.
They are temporary closed. Google page is not updated. Walking like 40 Minutes to visit but when arrived this place is closed..
They don't even care to know the dishes how it's called by Cuban culture, and it's supposed to be Cuban cuisines. terrible customer service and very small portion for the price
