Sophie's Cuban Cuisine

The food was genuinely disappointing. Everything was extremely dry, the pork, rice everything. Like it had been sitting out for hours with no care put into freshness or flavor. Each bite somehow managed to be blander than the last, and even the sauces couldn’t save it. Portions looked decent, but none of it was satisfying—I left still hungry and annoyed. Overall, the quality did not match the price or expectations at all. I wouldn’t recommend coming here unless you enjoy dry food and leaving unsatisfied.

Had a tasty meal here, the portions were huge, but the empanada tasted like it had been made over a week ago.

My team would often order from Sophie’s catering menu (pre pandemic). There was something for everyone and helped after lunch agendas to seem more doable There was always more than enough. It felt nostalgic to pop into this location for empanadas before heading over to Grand Central. It’s in a great location and although on 6th Avenue, the environment was clean and pleasant. The employees are friendly enough and definitely attentive. It’s worth visiting for a quick meal, eat in or takeout. Thank you.

Sophie's exceeded expectations, living up to the glowing recommendation from a friend. The star of the show, without a doubt, was their empanadas. I tried both the beef and the chicken, and each bite was flavorful. The beef, in particular, stood out with its well-seasoned perfection, earning the title of my personal favorite. Aside from the fantastic empanadas, I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the bathroom. It's a detail that often goes unnoticed but adds to the overall positive dining experience.

Don't even think about coming here 12-1Pm. Lines are crazy for subpar food. I only got this because I was soooo hungry and needed food in my belly because I was going out after work and didn't want to with an empty stomach. This hits the spot when you have nothing else. Food isn't that delicious. And always makes my stomach hurt. They reduced the size and quality of the empanadas. They always have a weird burnt taste without the burnt look. Lastly, staff here is never friendly. The guy in the back sandwich making area is kind. But the ladies on the line making the food and cashier have never been nice to me. Sadly I need to just take it and not take it personal because this is only good cuz of convenience and when there's nothing else. I just wanted some plain arroz morro - first off she
