Mojo Cuban Kitchen and Rum Bar · Midtown
Citrus and garlic run through the lechon asado, while arroz con pollo and the pressed Cubano offer two more familiar routes into the kitchen. Croquetas start a table well, and fried plantains bring sweetness beside the savory plates. The deep rum selection suits the menu naturally, turning a meal here into an easy survey of Cuban food and drink.
The Cuban Corner By Ta-Pas · Feldman's
Choose ropa vieja for tender beef in a rich sauce or vaca frita for meat with crisp, browned edges. Pernil, stuffed potatoes, croquettes, and tostones make it easy to assemble a varied spread before dessert. At lunch, a Cuban sandwich and cortado deliver the same character in a quicker format, while dinner invites a longer tour of the menu.
