Tina's Cuban Cuisine

This Midtown lunch spot operates with a cafeteria-style service, drawing midday crowds with quick-moving lines and daily lunch specials. Behind the counter, the kitchen packages up dishes like Spanish rice, ropa vieja, and chicken accompanied by a green sauce that offers a mild kick. There is a basic seating area in the back if you want to eat in rather than take out. While opinions on the seasoning of the meats are mixed, the setup is designed for a fast, straightforward meal.
