Tina's Cuban Cuisine-Union Sq

Really good Cuban home cooking! Cuban sandwich w/ fries is only $11. The pernil is great. Would highly recommend to anyone

I got the pollo de fricase with yellow rice and maduros, everything was out of this world! The service was great - the woman assisting me was so nice and my food was prepared quickly. The chicken was so flavorful and moist, it fell right off the bone. The hot sauce was amazing too, and all for a great price!! I will definitely be going back.

I stopped in here earlier today for lunch I had a Cuban sandwich with an order of fries!!. I have to say I absolutely love the Cuban sandwich i thought it was amazing!. Then came my 2nd stop in one day for dinner!!. I ordered four Cubans again my family loved them as well!!. We look forward to coming back!. Glad they’re on my street in the city!.

Tina's Cuban cuisine is a hidden gem in Union Square. The food is packed with flavor, and there’s a good variety to choose from. I love that the wait times are so short, you can get in and out quickly without sacrificing quality. The prices are also very reasonable, especially for the generous portions. This spot is perfect for a quick and satisfying meal!

Was not expecting authenticity, glad it wasn't commercial. Food was outstanding, Chiefing on some "Jack Herer" pondering 🤔 what my taste buds experienced. Cuban food ie "Roast Pork, Black beans and rice with sweet plantains pair well with Jack Herer Marijuana strain. I look forward to my next visit. If your looking for some good old fashioned home cooking ie " SOUL FOOD" this Is the spot. To everyone in the 420 community via NYU "don't cheat yourself TREAT yourself to some righteous Cuban food before and after gardening #420 #JackHerer #Tina's is L.E.G.I.T 420 friendly #RESPECT

I can't say enough good things about Tina’s! The food is absolutely delicious, with plenty of great dishes to enjoy. The service is impressively fast, which makes it ideal for a quick bite in Union Square. The prices are affordable, and the portions are just right. If you’re in the area, this place is a must try!

A gem of a restaurant for anyone looking for authentic, delicious, and affordable Cuban food conveniently closely Union Square. My personal favourite for the tastiest empanadas in town. Also highly recommend the Cuban sandwich, it’s perfectly layered with all the right ingredients so every bite of it is just awesome.

Like the food very much. PROBLEM: this location has been closing early. I have gone several times around 7:15 pm and the gates are down. What is going on? Have you changed your hours to close at 7:00pm??

Okay imma keep this short, sweet plantains and simple. The food = really good. I got the flounder meal with fresh maduro plantains & veggie yellow rice. The flounder was fresh, crispy & juicy to finish the trifecta. The maduros are thick but they were soft and sweet as advertised. The rice was great, & i loved the added veggies to it, including the white onions. Overall i give this plate a 9.5/10 because of the added green sauce. Couldnt ask for a better lunch to end 2024!! The location is just off Union Sq. Park & in a safe area(important)! The spot looked like a local spanish spot in your home town or country. Nothing crazy but deff a good amount of seats to enjoy a sit down meal. The environment was clean as well in which made me assure my meal was safe lol. Thanks and Happy New Year to my Cubanos!

I'm a New York native of Cuban ethnicity and authentic Cuban restaurants are very few so whenever I stumble upon one I make it my business to go in and see if they have any of my favorite familiar Cuban staples and this place did not. I requested croquettes, but they don't serve them. When I asked for a materva, the staff member didn't understand me, likely because she wasn't Cuban. It seemed like none of the employees were. I left feeling really disappointed! If you plan to sell "Cuban" cuisine, it's essential to offer genuine Cuban dishes and products.

Got a Cubano that was good alittle pricey for what it was but service was nice and fast and a lot of room to sit and enjoy

Just stopped in for the first time. There were two bagel stores here before that never lasted and we already have a good number of bagel stores in the neighborhood so this was a great addition. I ordered the Cuban sandwich, which was perfectly executed, in particular, the quality of the pork which stands out as tender, well-seasoned and flavorful. The staff were friendly and helpful too, and did not take long. There are a lot of options in the menu and I hope to be back to try out in the future. Great fast casual spot.
