Yep, Tina's and Sophie's.
We ate at Tina's yesterday (23 W. 56th.)
They call it Cuban, but it's Puerto Rican.

Based on what? It's not like Cuba and Puerto Rico are that far apart... Both Caribbean islands with similar cuisines.

I am saying basically that someone looking for a Puerto Rican restaurant will not go far wrong with Tina's or Sophie's.

For their location, I think they are overpriced.
