We’d travel from another borough and dodge grown men in Batman suits for the Cubano at this busy counter-service spot near Times Square. The bread is crusty, soft, and not too thick, and there’s just the right amount of cheese, and a slice of salami for added saltiness. The sandwich is only available before 4:30pm, which is when Margon closes for the day. The rest of the Cuban dishes are served cafeteria-style. The shrimp ceviche and octopus salad only remind us of better versions out there, so stick to hot items like red wine-infused oxtail and fried chicken chunks. Get in line, point to what you want, and snag one of the dozen orange tables if you’re eating in. Check the specials before you come—the selection changes daily.
