I had lunch at this small UWS restaurant for the first time today. My roommate and I were impressed with the friendly wait staff, cozy setting, and the side dishes. I got the Bistec a La cazuela (Beef and Onions-good) and my roommate got the Ropa Vieja (Shredded beef--excellent), but what stood out were the plantains and the rice&beans. The fried plantains were on par with what I've enjoyed in Costa Rica as well as here in the States. For the price, hard to beat. We got out of there, tax and tip included for under $20. We're going back tomorrow for breakfast.
Pros: Side dishes
