Sophie's exceeded expectations, living up to the glowing recommendation from a friend. The star of the show, without a doubt, was their empanadas. I tried both the beef and the chicken, and each bite was flavorful. The beef, in particular, stood out with its well-seasoned perfection, earning the title of my personal favorite. Aside from the fantastic empanadas, I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the bathroom. It's a detail that often goes unnoticed but adds to the overall positive dining experience.

My team would often order from Sophie’s catering menu (pre pandemic). There was something for everyone and helped after lunch agendas to seem more doable There was always more than enough. It felt nostalgic to pop into this location for empanadas before heading over to Grand Central. It’s in a great location and although on 6th Avenue, the environment was clean and pleasant. The employees are friendly enough and definitely attentive. It’s worth visiting for a quick meal, eat in or takeout. Thank you.

Went to pick up lunch with coworkers. The line moves quickly. There are two lines, one for the hot food and the other for sandwiches; they also have two touch screens to place your order if you don’t want to stand in line and wait. Glad I went today cause it was oxtail stew day (M/W/F) which is delicious along with moro rice and veggie medley. Their green sauce is the best and goes really well with the plate and empanadas (esp the beef empanadas). Coworker is obsessed with their ropa vieja so give that one a try if you don’t like oxtail.

I haven’t physically been to this location. I usually order delivery. The food is always delicious, hot and enough for 2 people to eat and be full. This is my go-to order place.

I tied this place with my co workers, the place is really easy to find. Very short walk from work . The restaurant is nice , they have the salad bar and sandwiches bar together. We opted for the entree section that had variety of things to pick from. You get a choice of 3 sides and a meat. The food is well seasoned , for my first try of Cuban food I loved it ! They also have some pastries that I would love to try later.

The best Cuban food in Manhattan! This place is a staple in the midtown area for lunch for all those who work there. Very authentic with sandwiches, daily specials, and standard menu lunch entrees. Pick a meat and 3 sides or get a delicious Cuban sandwich made the right way. Everything here is amazing
