The rice and beans are delicious. As are the empanadas (beef and veggie are my faves). The maduros aren't syrupy sweet and cooked perfect and the aji verde is AMAZING and packs a lot of heat. The soup is a little salty and I find them to be a little pricey, but very good. Service also turns to sh*t during lunch time. Everyone behind the counter is preparing delivery orders and there's often a bit of a wait. Great overall!
Decided to try here as it is a 30 second walk from my office. I used their online ordering system to place an order for steak with onions and 2 complementary sides of yellow rice and fries. I was told to pick up after 20 minutes, but the food was already ready for me when I arrived 15 minutes after ordering. Yay for fast service!
I worried that they had forgotten to include sauces for my steak and fries, but when I opened the bag I saw that they had given me generous amounts of ketchup and their special, slightly spicy green sauce.
The food wasn't anything particularly special. I did like how thin and non-chewy the steak was, and I also did appreciate the onion's thickness, but otherwise, the dish was just as you would expect a dish of steak + onions + yellow rice + fries to be. Not anything less, and not anything more. The portions are generous though, so even though you are paying $10 for a basic meal you can cook at home for less, you'll at least feel satisfied and full. I will be back though, to try their famous pernil dish:)
Whenever you order food on a rainy night you expect the delivery to take forever and this was definitely not the case. I was pleasantly surprised when my food arrived so quickly. I had the shrimp with rice and beans. It was really tasty but some of the shrimp had the dreaded black line in it still. My bf had the pork and it was delicious. If you are looking for some quick Cuban food this place is definitely worth a shot. I would most likely go with the pork the next time we order from this spot.
I have not had Cuban cuisine as often, but Sophie's came highly recommended by my colleagues. I ordered an entree, which comes with sides for $10.99. The breaded chicken was a huge, satisfactory piece along with green salad and fried green plantain. I was definitely impressed by the rich flavors of my meal. I definitely applaud their efficient delivery.
Lapin loves this place. Every single time he is in the area, he somehow or another ends up with a bag full of food from this store. He loves the pernil with rice and beans. I have tried a couple of things from here and I prefer the empanadas with tons of green sauce. While, this is a favorite place of our to stop for a snack or dinner, the service is always lacking. The waiters and servers are almost always rude and so cheap with the green sauce. Seriously, if I order fried chicken with rice and beans and three empanada, one little tub of green sauce is not going to do. If buy the green sauce separately, they give you in a foam cup (the price always changes) which spills before you even leave.
I've only ever gotten delivery from here but I really like this place.
Food comes when they say it will and is always hot.
I come from a Puerto Rican family so I basically can't resist pernil every time I see it on a menu (which thankfully isn't often-it's pork so it's bad for you)-anywaaaay, I always order the pernil with yellow rice, platanos maduros (these are sweet but they have salty ones-tostones-as well) and a side of avocado…it's great here! Everything tastes fresh and well seasoned. They also have Cuban classics like ropa vieja here which I hear is very good.
Overall, this is some good comfort food done in a Hispano-Cuban style-I probably order from here once a month and love it!
Pretty neat place with good food, at least from what I ate. I had a turkey sandwich and one chicken and beef empanadas. The turkey sandwich is pretty good. Having empanadas for the first time I definitely liked the chicken empanada. I wasn't a fan of the beef because they put green olives in it.
I also loved the green sauce that they give you. It's spicy and sweet, awesome for the sandwich or the empanadas.
I feel mixed about my experiences at Sophie's Cuban.
Five stars: really fast delivery, inexpensive, massive portions, the green sauce served on the side is ADDICTIVE, the maduros (sweet plantains) were excellent, and the ropa vieja entree was incredibly flavorful.
However, the other entrees I have tried in the past were not nearly as good. The pernil was watery and bland. It doesn't come with any crispy skin, it's just the pulled meat. Not a huge fan. I've also had the shrimp in garlic sauce. The sauce is good but the shrimp were tiny, overcooked, and chewy. The side salad was lacking too, and was a bowl of watery lettuce.
Don't get me wrong – for some inexpensive, quick Cuban food and piled plates of rice and beans…this place hits the spot. But I would stick to the ropa vieja in the future.
