Cuban and Dominican fare, famous for its Cubano sandwich
"Hours: 24/7 Open since 1995, this Cuban Dominican restaurant in Washington Heights draws a crowd with its bistec, rotisserie chicken, and many versions of mofongo. Floridita is best known for its Cuban sandwich, consisting of a fat stack of ham, pork roast, pickles, and Swiss cheese on crispy bread. There’s a second location in Inwood that has the same hours." - Emma Orlow
"This Dominican-Cuban diner is open 24 hours and is famous for its sandwiches—especially their Cubano with fatty ham, roast pork and swiss cheese. You’ll also find breakfast staples like french toast and pancakes, as well as dishes like bacalao and mofongo. If you want to customize a plate, you can choose from bases like mashed plantains and add toppings such as fried cheese and sausage." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, will hartman
"El Floridita, a Dominican-Cuban restaurant in Washington Heights, is known for their $8 Cuban, which is made on some of the most deeply garlic-infused bread we have ever had the pleasure of ingesting. But their Dominican food is also pretty good, like their mofongo with chicharron, and we love the servers, who might sing a line or two of Mamma Mia in Spanish as they bring you your lunch special. Add on the chicken pastelitos, which arrive at your table piping hot, with a blistered crust and a soft, tomatoey inside." - willa moore, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, sonal shah
"Along with a Claire’s ring for an elementary school crush, the best use of $7 we know of is one of the lunch specials at Floridita, like Dominican beef or pork and white bean soup with rice. But this Washington Heights spot isn’t just a useful takeout or delivery option at lunch. Its asopaos (and the rest of its long menu) are available for delivery from 7am-1:45am or pickup 24 hours a day." - matt tervooren
