Benny’s Cuban Cafe

Cuban restaurant · Ridgewood

"Year-old Benny’s serves something like a greatest hits of Cuban cafe fare, starting with a perfect Cubano (Cuban sandwich) featuring mustard instead of mayo, ham, swiss, pernil, and probably more pickles than are necessary. The ropa vieja (shredded beef) and frita vaca (fried beef with sauteed onions and peppers) are totally up to par, and don’t miss the fresh-squeezed juices." - Robert Sietsema, Andrew Karpan
