Cuban Restaurants near Hawthorne, NJ

“Drove by and decided to stop and get a Cuban sandwich for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Ordered and walked out with my order within 10-15 minutes, so service was quick and everyone I interacted with was very nice. It also came with fries which were crispy even after bringing them home in the takeout box. Will be a new go to spot for me when craving a cuban sandwich.“

“We went as an all girl night dinner. Atmosphere was warm and inviting. Food fabulous authentic Cuban cuisine. Drinks were delicious! Staff friendly and prompt. Will definitely be going again and again!“

“At Mercer County Park's Food Festival today, i had 2 of their empanadas, coconut shrimp and sweet plantains. They were the best empanadas I ever ate in my life- including in Puerto Rico! I wish they were local! The service was friendly and when I told them I loved their food, they were happy!“

“Ariel the manager is amazing Excellent food and great atmosphere nest of bergen county!“

“Good food, atmosphere, and drinks. Their empanada were very good, I like their spicy sauce, but if you are a bit more timid, mix the spicy with the mild for a great spice with a kick.“

“Pros: empanada trio - they fill those tasty pockets and the pastry is flaky and done just right. Highly rec the spinach and cheese, and picadillo. The corn fritters were bite size minis and yummy. I had the ropa vieja mofongos - muy rico. Hubby had the vaca con ropa - what a combo! The service was quick and friendly. The prices were reasonable and the portions were fair Cons: the air was a bit stuffy - the AC was on sometimes so it felt a tad too warm on a slightly cool early May evening. Parking is very limited and valet is $5. Street parking is also limited - hey the place is good so what can I say...booming business is a good thing, right? We're going back very soon. I want more empanadas and want to try their lechon“

“My boyfriend loves red snapper so I am consistently seeking places that serve it - on the bone where possible. We just so happened to be in the area when I found it on the menu. Went once and now regularly drive an hour just to come here for the red snapper and Pollo al ajillo which is my favorite (huge garlic fan). I want to explore other items on the menu but I can't because I absolutely love that dish. The happy hour during the week is also fantastic, he drives and I indulge in mojitos, which is a huge win for me. The happy hour apps are great too! We've tried them all.“

“Literally the best breakfast place in Lyndhurst. The sweetest staff and delivery driver. Never met a better place full of the best people.Kid-friendliness: They host 11-12 lunch times for the nearest high school and middle school. They are so patient and understanding of all the hungry students.“

“Stopped by for dinner with my husband. We ordered the ropa vieja with extra meat and a side of maduros. Service was excellent and the food was very tasty. We enjoyed trying all the different flavorful sauces even though the food didn't need anything extra! The portion of maduros was very large. We enjoyed everything overall! Next time I'll try and save room for dessert!“

“Every dish is delish! Try for yourself and you will see. I normally don’t do reviews but this place deserves it“

“Loved this restaurant!! The food was AMAZING, from the empanadas, to the mofongo, to the tres leches! We had a large table (9) and everyone absolutely loved their meal. The portions are big, which was great for the price. The ambiance was also great, as they played great music. They also put the birthday girl's picture on the menu he which I thought was such a nice touch. The service was as phenomenal, our waitress was patient and super sweet! I will definitely return soon. Restaurant is small, so I suggest making a reservation if it's more than 2 people.“

“I can't give a full review because it was my 1st time visiting the establishment. I can give a review of what I ordered & of the person that served me. Everything looked & smelled good. The person who served me was kind & friendly. I had the picadillo with white rice, sweet plantains, a fried yuca fritter, & a side of beans. It all was very tasty, with the exception of the fritter. My only qualm was the pricing for what I ordered. It came to $29, including 2 bags of cheese doodles.Would I go back... Yes. Everything looked vibrant & fresh... I wanted to try EVERYTHING.“
