"Co-owner and manager Guadalupe Rivas, who has worked there for over 40 years, says that they make everything with love, striving to do the best they can and make people happy. Rivas, better known as Lupe, continues a family-owned tradition since the restaurant opened in the 1970's, when she and her Dominican husband Rafael took over the business from a set of Cuban cousins."
"Margon's Instagram page describes the food as Dominican Cuban cuisine, but the bulk of the menu (and the praise online) revolves around their delicious Cuban dishes. Most diners who frequent Margon are office workers seeking a filling and delicious lunch at a reasonable price point. There are also New Yorkers looking for a homey Cuban meal, with a few tourists mixed in here and there as well due to its proximity to Times Square."
Margon is a small, family-owned Dominican-Cuban restaurant located on West 46th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues near Times Square. The restaurant offers no-frills, authentic Cuban dishes that stand out in a neighborhood not known for great cuisine. Co-owner and manager Guadalupe "Lupe" Rivas has worked there for over 40 years and maintains a family tradition dating to the 1970s. Most customers are office workers seeking filling, reasonably priced lunches, alongside locals wanting a homey Cuban meal and occasional tourists. Signature items include Cuban sandwiches and a popular Monday oxtail special braised in red wine.
