Margon

Cuban restaurant · Midtown West

"More Cubano places should put a slice of salami on their sandwich, like Margon does. This busy counter right off of Times Square is one of the area’s most reliable lunch spots, and they have a few tables where you can wait for your order—which should be that time-tested combo of buttery toasted bread, roast pork, ham and salami, plus pickles, swiss cheese, and mustard.  If it’s your fourth visit to Margon this week, the steam-tray options, like red wine-infused oxtail, roast pork, and rice that’s the color of an orange Fanta are pretty great too. The Order: The Cubano. As a bonus, it’s served with soup or rice and beans." - will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, bryan kim, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick
