Editorial Review for Cubana Cafe – by Karen Hudes
In Short
Set below the sidewalk, this restaurant and bar has high windows, a turquoise tiled bar and yellow and pink walls to let in the sunshine. Caribbean music and fruit-print plastic tablecloths further brighten the setting for Cuban plates. Ropa vieja and stuffed poblano chiles join picadillo Cubano, a beef hash flavored with raisins, olives and yucca, and garlic-and-lime marinated chicken breast, along with seviche, roasted corn, and the always-popular pressed Cuban sandwich.

I was with a friend on a Saturday wandering around Soho. We were looking for somewhere to eat and found this place. We were amazed at how inexpensive the prices are. We had a pitcher of Sangria that was full of apples. It was the best! At the waitresses suggestion, I had pounded chicken with mangoes. It was very flavorful and came with rice and beans for only $10. The place is small, but the atmosphere is very cozy and comfortable. Service was excellent! Highly recommended and inexpensive for Soho! I will definately go back.
Pros: Great Sangria, inexpensive
