Zack Davenport

Seriously some of the best food I've had in LIC. The steak with espresso marinade melts in your mouth. The sangria is amazing. For dessert , the coconut flan takes the meal to another level. Amazing.

Percy Holmes

Medera Cuban Grill has great cocktails and the food is out of site!! I highly recommend making Medera Cuban Grill a priority on your must try list.

Chelsea

I love this place! Waiters are friendly ! Try the stuffed plantains , I had it with picadillo (ground beef ). Yuca fries w/ garlic were interesting, and if you go for brunch , try the Cuban French Toast .

Diego Ramirez

Delicious meal. Pork with green plantain and sweet plantain on bottom with black beans and rice . Very good meal

Rose C

The Madera Steak with Moro was absolutely delicious. The staff was extremely friendly and service was great.

Amit K.

Nice place, good food, albeit a bit over priced. I recommend the mussel appetizers which are served in a very yummy red sauce . But the sangria pitchers (we had two) were $36 each!

Erinina Ness

Macadamia crusted bass , lemon chicken , Cuban beef , almost everything is amazing! The best tasting black beans on the planet, seriously! The only bad thing I've ever had here is the sausage appetizer

Diane Chang

Two of us shared the lechon asado (asked for salad instead of beans) and a side of corn fritters and yuca fries . Excellent!!!!!!! Best Cuban meal we've had!

Brad Gerick

Friendly staff , good food, reliable happy hour , even with a modest beer selection . Also one of the classier , but still semi-casual places to eat on Vernon Boulevard.

Gustavo Gomez

Great tasting and very well priced lunch specials . Great decor.

Jose Taveras

The food, the location, the live music and the atmosphere was really good. Will go again.

Sofia Christopoulos

Food is great! Romantic Cuban restaurant with live music . Definitely going back!

Ms Helene

Dark inside. Friendly service . Weak sangria . Best tapas were grilled shrimp with mashed plaintains and mini cod cakes .

Alycia

Corn fritters are delicious although the second time they tasted as though they were reheated in the microwave. But also try the skirt steak and the grandma's pork Chops .

Diash Richards

Happy hour everyday, super cute romantic spot . Sangria is a must!!!!!

Nate S

Come here on a date on Friday or Saturday nights- there's live music . The mojitos were perfect.

James Ingrassellino

One of the best Cuban sandwiches I've ever had! And the mojitos were on point.

The classic sangria is delicious and surprisingly potent! The pecan crusted bass is really good, ESP the crema sauce on it.

Food out of this world, mojito is amazing

Christopher Cassetta

Great mojitos , skip the sangria . It's good, but too pricy for what you get.

Odette

The skirt steak was over done when I asked for medium rare. Steak was hard with a lot of fat. The Moro was a small portion. The flan was tiny.
