“The live Cuban trio was fun, if loud. The black beans met all expectations, the skirt steak was tender and lovely, the salmon was fine--the peppers and onions surrounding the salmon were great. The whiskey sours were on point and very good. Great little spot north of the theater district. Definitely recommended.“
“Love! Love! Love! I come atleast once a week for the last 2 years! it’s a friendly environment and the fooood is everything. Yonkers finest margaritas for sure I highly recommend ask for pavel she’s definitely the best bartender!!!! ???“
“Had a nice dinner with exceptionally good service, specifically from a waitstaff named Shante. She deserves 5 stars. The mojitos were quite good, but for $18 I would say that they we're not worth it. The interior is pleasant and has some nice colors. The back room seemed to have great energy, even on a very rainy day. The only thing I didn't like was that I got the Pollo Manigua, recommended by male waiter, who was also nice. It incredibly good, but I would call it a rip-off. Only because they simply don't give enough chicken.“
“The Blended Bistro is amazing. Everything I’ve had has been absolutely delicious. My favorite things are the ham croquettes, the Cuban chicken sandwich, the pernil and I can go on!! If you haven’t been there this is a place you need to run and check out. Staff is great, place is adorable, cozy and feels like home. Owner Maddy, has knocked it out of the park with all her recipes.“
“We staying next door at the Muse and I walked the 20 steps to Margon to get a cafe con leche and tostada cubana. I was blown away. As born and raised Miamian, I can honestly tell you that the best cafe con leche is found at Margon in Manhattan. Hands down. And the ambiance reminds me of the old-school cafeterias and bakeries my grandfather and dad would take me to as a little girl. Keep doing what you’re doing .. loads of blessings and suerte, your way!“
“Thank you for not disappointing. My friends and I had a girls' night, and they had not known this existed. They were happy with their meals and impressed with the place.I had been here twice, and the 3rd time was still a charm.Gives the other Cuban places a run for their money.“
“I had lunch at this hidden gem. The restaurant is super nicely decorated and gives a very warm and welcoming feeling.The food is the perfect combination of Cuba and Asia. I highly recommend the spring rolls and wontons as appetizers. The lobster noodles was great as well.“

“Cuban restaurant in Bergenfield, NJ Cuban family restaurant in New Jersey with ample parking space. My wife and I were greeted and served with great kindness by an efficient and bilingual staff. The restaurant is spacious, and its ambiance is refined. Its décor combines a display of original works by Cuban painters and Oriental vases. The menu, prepared by a Cuban chef, is diverse, with various starters, main courses, and desserts. As main course I ordered lacón, the kind I remembered eating in Cuba, which is not easy to find in New York. My wife had sea bass. Our dishes were all very good. We were very pleased. My wife favorite was a starter called “Discovery”. I particularly enjoyed the flan. Our only recommendation has to do with the music, which was only Salsa while we were there. In our opinion, the addition of other types of Cuban music could enhance the experience. The owners do not have a liquor license yet. Forewarned, we were able to bring our own bottle of wine. We had a great time. Highly recommended.“
“I think this place must have completely changed their menu, because it was absolutely not Cuban, except for an empanada appetizer and plantain sides. It was expensive New American. The description and images are wrong. Look at the latest menu before deciding to go here.“
“If you love Spanish food, especially Cuban food, then this is the place for you and your family. My one big gripe is the seating is too close to each other. I don't like having to hear private conversations of other diners. Either expand the place or minimize the seating. This is an issue at ALL their locations. Also, it's difficult for someone in a wheelchair to get around.“
“Very nice,.semi elegant riverfront spot. Outdoors indoors. Large and comfortable. Views of the Hudson and midtown. Excellent staff and service. Paella was very tasty and huge, could feed two. Rice maybe parboiled? Excellent taste and ingredients. Croquetas were a 8 of 10....only tens are my wife's own. Worth trying . Crunchy, tasty.. pimentón taste? French fries were sooo good. Saw them nearby and had to order them. Wife's Ropa vieja was truly excellent. Accompanying rice was merely ok, had better at regular Dominican joints. Lacked oil? Cuatro leches desert was very good. Sangria and malbec were good. Not cheap. 18,% Tip was added to bill, is that legal? Manager very on top of everything but very discreetly. Failed to tell us with reservation that there'd be no music that sunday. Failed to see the valet parking in the driveway because of the mess of cars, big cheap parking two blocks away. 4.5 for food. 5 for rest.“
“The only issue was trying to get someone to speak English on the phone when I called. After talking to 3 different females, the fourth one spoke English.And the valley people lost my car keys ticket. I had to go thru all the keys to fi d mine.“
“Although I experienced a wait of about 40 minutes on a bustling Saturday, the exceptional dining experience that followed made it well worth the delay. From the moment I stepped inside only experienced good things.Our server Leo was knowledgeable, attentive and made great recommendations. The appetizer was amazing, can’t remember the name but will attach a photo. The entries were cooked to perfection I ordered Ensalada de la casa con churrascoFilete de pescado con cangrejo y vegetales.The flavor were bold and authentic, and the portions were generous. I found the price very decent. Top-notch service, exceptional cuisine, and cleanliness - Rumba Cubana truly deserves a 5-star rating. Can't wait to come back!"“
“Just ordered on Uber Eats and it is by far the best cuban food that I've found since moving here from Miami!!! Will definitley be ordering again!! Only place up north that I've found that makes the simple staples: Empanadas/Croquettes/Sandwiches correctly!!!“
“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.“
“First off I love the remodel. I’ve been here several times and always enjoyed the food. It was my first time coming for dinner and we were seated right away. Our waiter was super patient and nice. For appetizers we tried the toston montado which is the skirt steak, onion jam with chimichurri sauce over a crispy plantain along with the yucca frita. The toston montado is a must try- so savory and yummy! For the entree I had the ropa vieja with beans and yellow rice- it was delish. Food is always spot on!“
“My all-time favorite neighborhood restaurant. Grew up eating here, the food and service is always top notch. El Unico has catered countless events for family and friends with the most generous servings at an affordable price, if you know you know!“
“Really loved everything about this place. I ordered the Picadillo (photo) and it wasn't as flavorful as I'm used to, main reason for the star loss. But everything else was amazing: cocktails, churrasco steak, tostones with cilantro dip sauce, guava bread pudding, Cafe bombon!! There was also live music which was a pleasant surprise!!! And service was awesome. Will definitely be back“
“Chino Latino food, a delectable fusion of chinese with latino influence. I really liked the old school vibe, kinda retro from grandad days. Food is tasty and portions are large, so come here when you are hungry. Crispy chicken crackling, served with fried rice is a favourite and don’t forget to ask for the yummy green sauce. I travelled like halfway round the world to this place when i first spotted it on instagram.“
“There's is no better place to eat than at La Casona in Union City NJ. The price is reasonable, atmosphere, service and the food is fantastic.The price is right. Forget about paying 16 $ for arroz con picallado .Here at La Casona you will only pay $10.00 Check their daily price for the weekly cheap menu. No more that $ 11.00BYOB“
“Was pleasantly surprised when I first saw them open. Had been looking for a new place to eat and La Caridad 72 did not disappoint. The food is, in a word, Delicious!!! It's been a real joy sampling the many culinary delights found on their diverse menu. They have something tasty for every type of palette. Recently tried their beef stew and I can't stop thinking about the sauce. Utterly amazing!!! Between their wonderful food and their friendly, top notched staff, you can not go wrong dining at La Caridad 72. Bring your friends. Bring your family. Bring your kids. You WILL NOT be disappointed!!! Enjoy, I did :-)“
“Overall, I thought this place was good, not great. I had a combo fish, and the ropa vieja was delicious, as was the very interesting dry chicken, but the pork was too fatty. My biggest complaint was that everything, including the rice and beans, was cold. I know latin restaurants like music, but it was so loud you you not hear across the table, kind of painful. I would still come here again as it's a good value and a quick pre show dinner.“
“The food here is always 10/10 the rotisserie chicken is always crispy and delicious, and the rice and beans are always hot!! The little onion sauce is DELICIOUS!!! It’s spicy and makes the food super super good! I definitely recommend this place! Also the prices are really really affordable!!“
“This was me and my friends’ go to stop for empanadas!! We would come here every sunday for lunch, but sadly they got rid of the fried ones and now baked and not nearly as good as the old ones :((( please bring back the old empanadas, we would look forward to those every week!!!“
“Great place for entertainment, food was good. The drinks were sweet so you barley taste the alcohol, it was ok. Great customer service, the waitress was very nice in letting us stay until the band came since they was running late. Hopefully they expand into a bigger location for dancing space.“
“I have been visiting Did Amigos for over 20 years. Highly recommend the flavors in this steak sandwich. Make sure you get cheese and onions. Batido de trigo is also delishious. Cash only local spot.Parking: You can park in the lot above the restaurant for 1 hour , just make sure they stamp your card.“
“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.“
“we had the shrimp in garlic sauce with rice and maduros. My husband had sirloin stake with onions, rice and black beans. amazing food amazing service and amazing ambiance!! it's been so long since I had great food and this is definitely one of my favorites!! The service by Angia was amazing!! thank you Angie and thank you to The Grand Cubano Staff for the great food!!“
“Cuz I found out this place is this to the when I started seeing this place I started buying from it since 2000 I've been buying my Cuban sandwiches my rice and beans and my assorted foods and it's great it's never changes the people are nice excellent for our neighborhood we have something good every neighborhood got his own restaurants 188 has one and I appreciate it keep on doing good work“
“I'd recommend pio pio to all my friends and family. It's one of the best restaurants in the area, in my opinion. Must try the caleo Gallegos, and the tamal en cazuela, it's by far one of the best in the are. Thank you guys for the great food, I truly appreciate it and enjoy it very much!“
“The most outstanding catering that I've ever ordered. You wouldn't think to go to a steakhouse for Rigatoni Bolognese and eggplant parmigiana but MAN! 354's version was next level. Every item that I ordered for my team was a 10 out of 10. The restaurant itself has a great vibe, but I'm telling you - the catering is where it's at! Great job 354. ??????????“
“I loving everything. So delicious and fresh. The flavors melt in your mouth.. everything is done perfect with so much delicious taste. Everyone is so nice. And the place looks very nice and clean. I definitely be back. My son lovedddd the food too.. is really is so delicious. ?❤️“
“Service was very polite and fast, food was fresh and tasty as well as plentiful. We had leftovers. We also got a discount for paying cash.Vegetarian options: They have Beans, Waterdress, Salads.Wheelchair accessibility: Walkin entrance no stairs.“
“4 stars because you can't find this great of Cuban food for this level of service, amount of offerings, price, and portion size at another spot near East Midtown. I've Ordered: *Veggie Plate (3 sides): Maduros, Yellow Rice, Potato Salad (don't judge, i was craving it once i saw it lol) *Side Salad*Tostones *Cheese Empanada + Spinach EmpanadaNotes: *Potato salad is a skip.*Tostones were good/okay *Must get the fried fish or salmon next time *Yellow rice was so fluffy, perfectly cooked *Empanadas were crispy af with delicious cheese inside *GREEN SAUCE IS THE GOAT. ask for extra. the white, garlicky, toum-like sauce was amazing as well.“
“Nestled in the heart of our town, The Cuban Union City offers an authentic Cuban culinary experience that is both delightful and unforgettable. As soon as you step inside, you are warmly greeted by the vibrant atmosphere and the friendly staff, setting the stage for an extraordinary dining experience.The empanadas are a crispy delight, with a golden exterior that crunches satisfyingly at the first bite. Filled with a mixture of seasoned meat, each empanada is a flavorful explosion that captures the essence of Cuban cuisine.An unexpected surprise, the guacamole chips at offer a fresh and innovative take on traditional Cuban sides. The chips, perfectly seasoned and crispy, paired with three different style guacamole, make for an irresistible combination that's hard to stop eating.The drinks are great as well, don’t miss them out!!Overall, what sets The Cuban apart is not just its exceptional food but also its outstanding service. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure every guest feels welcome and taken care of. Their recommendations are spot-on, and their attentiveness adds an extra layer of warmth to the dining experience.“
“Cuban fare, pretty reasonable. They take care of emergency service personnel. They do make an effort to speak english. Overall the food is decent and even if you make up your own plate, they dont complain.Parking: Better to walk. Parking is street parking and good luck finding a spotWheelchair accessibility: Ground level. No issue with a wheelchair“
“This place is so good! It's good for homey Cuban cuisine and the the staff is really nice. The lunch specials aren't cheaply made and the price is right. COVID wise they do a great job maintaining the 6ft distance and use masks/gloves. Totally recommend!“
“The employees were friendly and it seemed like they have regulars seeing as they knew people's names. The food didn't take long and it was steamy which made it feel more like home cooked meal. I ordered an orange and carrots juice, and I was wondering if it was going to be freshly squeezed or concentrated and to my surprise it was freshly squeezed right in front of us, which made it even better. The empanada wasn't anything I expected which was good. It was a cheese and guayaba empanada and the saltiness and sweetness was a great combination. I would definitely come here again once I'm in the area!“
“Gilbertos has been around for a long time. So no need to say that the food is very good. The service also outstanding and the ambience. Well it's a cafeteria type place with a few tables and a full counter. They are Cuban sandwich is really good and so is the ropa vieja.“
“It's a small but charming little Cuban Cafe and Restaurant. Seating is limited to a cozy corner with a compact sofa and chairs. The coffee is delicious and Breakfast. The rest of the menu are fried delectable Latin meats like pork, fried plantain, longaniza etc... They also have options to order large trays, which is perfect for party's.“
“I would return tomorrow if I could. Dinner with a party of 6 people. The waitress was kind and informative. For apps we have empanadas, gauc with painting chips and croquettes. They were all delicious and fresh. I got the Havana Shrimp for dinner. The shrimp was succulent and plump. I got so full I ended up having to bring half of my dish home. It did not disappoint. It's BYOB. They mix our wine with the house sangria. It was delicious. Rebeca is truly a hidden gem and I would recommend to everyone “
“My go to spot for Latino food in the area. One of the more expensive options in the area but it's worth treating yourself once in a while. Probably slightly more expensive than the higher quality halal carts out there. Spent $17 for my meal. As always, it's was cooked to perfection. Only complaint is that I wish I had some of the crispy skin from the pernil. All in all, great Cuban spot with plenty of options.“
“My husband and I went to Zona De Cuba for our 25th wedding anniversary ❤️ Everyone was wonderful! From the door man to the restaurant worker's ❤️ We enjoyed ourselves So much! A little expensive, but when Everything is good Vibes it can't be matched! The waiter even made a surprise dessert for us? I would love to go again ❤️ #LoveZonaDeCuba ?“
“Best cuban pizza in NJ. I come all the way from elizabeth to come to this pizzeria, the service is always amazing and the owner treats my family and I like old friends. We have been going there since they first opened and my son Marlon loves his cuban pizza. Plenty of options on the menu and the milk shakes are amazing.“
“Delicious and authentic Puerto Rican food. The yellow rice is soft and tasty; it is very well made. The pernil is also very well cooked but does lack a bit of seasoning, it still taste good but I think they cook can add a bit more seasoning to it and it will be PERFECT! I always feel like I am back at home whenever I order from Mis Raices.“
