This is truly one of the best places for authentic Cuban food. If you are a seafood lover, the shrimp ceviche is highly recommended as a starter, followed by the Varadero rice
with shrimp and shredded chicken. If that's one too many shrimp dishes for your palate, go for the traditional cuban ropa vieja consisting of cuban shredded skirt steak with rice and beans. Their wine list is pretty decent, I recommend a bottle of the reserve, but of course you can't skip the sangria when having good cuban food.
The only complaint I have is on the service. Been there 2x and only one waitress for tables, even though the place is small and intimate, one waitress / waiter is just not enough especially on a Thursday / Friday night.
Enjoy!
Pros: Food
Cons: service

The food was creative and flavorful. I especially enjoyed the Onion Potato Tart, different and delicious! My dinner party was treated well, the service was really good and the staff friendly. You do get just the right amount of food for the money...I will be going back!
Pros: located near other great restaurants in the area
Cons: since it is located on the UWS, parking is going to be tricky

This place not only has a nice atmosphere but good food. While its best going during the summer since they open the doors and it feels like you're sitting outside, they also have music playing. The food is to die for if you're a fan of latin food. I recommend the pernil and as appertizers either the pasteles, alcapurrias or empanadas. Good drinks as well, great for couples or families. Also afforable prices and the service makes you feel like you're eating a mom's house.

I've been coming to La Taza de Oro for decades. When I lived in Manhattan, it was a once a week thing. Or even more when a friend would bring takeout to me at work. It's latino comfort food. Not much to look at, but plenty to eat. As others have mentioned, the rice and beans can feed a family of four. Don't even think about cleaning your plate. They'll have to roll you down 8th avenue afterwards. It's classic Puerto Rican / Dominican home cooking. Pork dishes to die for. Steaks, soup, plantains. All yummy! The decor has been the same for as long as I can remember. Cheap, good, and plentiful!
Pros: food, price, not high falutin', comforting
Cons: not much for ambience if that's your thing

So you wanna dine on some amazing Cuban-n-Caribbean food with some scuba-diving librarian? I know! Who doesnt. The problem? The shush! police dont allow you to eat or drink in a library, let alone cook up some good ol rice-n-beans. What to do, what to do? Heres your eureka, dude: Bring her to Margon. Food is awesome. Ive got the research to prove it. Yeah! I heard even Jupiter and Yankelovich ran taste tests. The verdict? Delicioso. Margons go the best damn Cuban food this side of Guantanamo. Trust me. You wont need a military tribunal to find Margon guilty as charged, of being sinfully yummy. So go out there, grab your favorite green-haired librarian, and drag her out to Margon. Nine out of ten librarians agree: A trip to Margon is, er, overdue.

The vibe is very welcoming with its beautiful interior decorations and an open kitchen. The entire staff was extraordinarily professional. All were friendly and alluring. Our server was knowledgeable, articulate and enthusiastic. All eight of us had the ?Pre fixed? menu, it?s a four course meal where I can say was its money?s worth -- every course was superb. Even the birthday song was different & great. I can't wait to get back and do it all over again!!!
They also have a lounge where we proceeded afterwards to relax, listened to music and enjoy the ambiance. I recommend SAZON to everyone, especially if you are in the tribeca area!!!
Pros: FOOD, DRINKS, MUSIC, BIRTHDAY SONG

This place is truly a hidden treasure. I work 2 blocks away. I discovered the place a couple of months ago and now eat there 2-3 times a week. The food is authentic, excellent home-made Cuban. The rice is cooked and spiced to perfection (#1 test for good Cuban food !), as so are the ropa vieja, picadillo, beef & onions, etc. The place is nothing fancy, but the food rivals any of the top Cuban restaurants in NYC ...
Pros: price, authenticity, flavor
Cons: , decor
