The roast pork is delicious. Moist and flavorful. As the others have said, the rice and beans are kind of on the dry side. The fried chicken, chicken stew and fried fish looked amazing!

The mixed rice (rice and beans) is good but on the dry side. Very good roast pork (pernil asado) as well as fried chicken. The mixed rice (rice and beans) is good but on the dry side.

The beans and rice have zero flavor and if you don't get there as soon as the beans and rice are fresh, the steam table just cooks the snot out of them until they taste like a cardboard mess. The pork swims in grease, comes out basically warm and greasy, and is not spiced well. This place sucks.

BTW.. I had walked by this place, but like you said.. I saw "American" "Cafe" and "Deli" and kept walking.. I'll be sure to pop in next time, as I'm on 46th and 5th.. (above the Barnes & Noble) - so this place couldn't be closer. A buddy of mine just turned me on to this blog.. this rocks.. BTW.. I had walked by this place, but like you said..

I'm a big fan of Margon and haven't heard of this place. I'll definitely give it a try. Crispy pork skin rocks. BTW, I'm actually going to be in Bali this fall. Where's the great suckling pig place you mentioned? Thanks. Great write-up. I’m a big fan of Margon and haven’t heard of this place. I’ll definitely give it a try. Crispy pork skin rocks.

Well, I was looking for some info about NYC (planning on going there in December) when I found your site and I would like to sugest you something. I dont know if there are any Portuguese restaurants in NY but try to find one that has "leitão" (sounds like laytow). It is a typical portuguese food. It is a young and very small pig, usualy roasted and super crispy served with some very fresh and gasefied white wine. Just try it. Hi there.
