“I truly, truly LOVE this place, BUT during the live music part of the evening, it made it very difficult to place food orders, and they had no virgin pina coladas. I would've definitely spent more money if they served virgin pina coladas since im pregnant and can't have liquor.“
“Nice vibes, service was fine but not great (kinda cold, no smiles or anything that will make you feel you welcome). Food was good but not great IMHO.We ate the Cubano, Corn and an Americano coffee. Coffee was great, corn was very good, I had better Cubanos, tasted kinda like a good tuna sandwich and not a Cubano.“
“Showed up right at opening after an early AM flight and this was our first meal in NYC of the trip. Atmosphere was perfect, service was attentive without being overwhelming. Food? Wow, delicious. Cuban eggs bene for me and tostones and empanadas for the wife. All amazing. Thanks for kicking off this trip with a great meal to fuel our city wanderings!“
“So bummed this place wasn’t around when I was growingUp in Queens (Us Cubans are a rare breed to find in NYC period!) I live in NJ now and still haven’t had really good Cuban food! ? I went to visit my homies in Ridgewood (she’s half Cuban & from Miami -so she knows good Cuban food!!)and was BLOWN away when my order of ropa vieja was delivered…HOLY SHHHHHHH it was delicious & I even had left overs! Generous portions & tasty! Soooo good I to jump online and leave a review! Love this spot!!! HIGHLY recommend!! Took a pic midway through cause it was so yumm!“
“Never been a fan of this chain but decided to stop by at this one today and I’m so glad I did! The staff was phenomenal and so helpful with me coming with a special needs kid in a stroller and the food was off the charts good! I’ll definitely be back at this location again ?“
“I was pleasantly surprised with this restaurant! Not only do they have two other rooms downstairs, but I did not expect live music! The plantain appetizer was very good along with the salmon dish, which comes with some shrimp. I have the old-fashioned rum drink which hit the spot. I highly recommend this place to sit inside and enjoy the ambience.“
“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.“
“What great find! Was searching for a healthyish meal and I couldn’t have found a better place.I had the pork platter with rice, beans and sweet plantains. The pork was slow cooked for hours and you can taste it! Usually places like to smother their pork with salt, but not here. Phenomenally delicious, hearty and very filling. Plus the price can’t be beat for where it located.Victor was great and knew what’s up!The Cuban looked official but summers coming…..“
“I was intending to go somewhere else for dinner, but walked past this place and couldn't pass it up. Pleasant atmosphere, friendly and attentive service (shout-out to Justin), and above all delicious food--particularly the duck bao and ropa vieja. Would absolutely come back and tell friends.“
“Cute place for a good feed before (or after) a night out. Mains are generous; highly recommend churrasco. Idk if it was just our meal but I felt like our two mains could have been served a bit hotter - perhaps it was because today was cold and rainy I particularly wanted a hearty hot meal to warm up. Service was timely and “
“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.“
“Walking into this place transported me right back home. Latin music on point, all the staff were so kind, food is delicious and definitely a fair price point for the area. I got el sándwich Cubano for $12, which is their bestseller and it did not disappoint. Best Cuban sandwich I’ve found in the 5 boros. Fresh off the press, sauce was legit and everything tasted delicious.“
“In my opinion this is the best food you can find in the North Bergen area. Absolutely everything we ordered for a party of 6 was amazing and we all made sure to order different things and try each other's food. The Ropa Vieja tostone bowl was a personal favorite great price and value for an amazing dish .“

“We tried the pabellón criollos (traditional Venezuelan breakfast) and pan con bistec guaro (Venezuelan steak sandwich), as well as the agua fresca de flor de Jamaica (Costa Rican sorrel wine, non alcoholic). Great dishes with a warm brunch ambiance.“
“Let me say this is one of the best experiences I ever had in the restaurant: I felt so much like home there . I started the year with a great experience when I decided to go to this restaurant to celebrate my mom on one the coldest day in Jan 2024 and May I add I’m glad I trusted my gut . The lady and gentleman working there was so accepting and accommodating of me being late . Long story it was empty , clean and the food was excellent. I would encourage you to try their drinks which was strong and good ; the sauce for the bananas was amazing . I can’t wait to visit again . I felt a lot of culture and that is what we want , hidden gem Trust me if you went to just get wings on their happy hours I’m sure you will not be disappointed but even a romantic dinner would be just as successful“
“This spot will take you straight to the El-bario Chino right here in NYC. Can’t wait to go back for the *bottomless* brunch! Delicious & flavorful! Wanted several things off the menu & our server kept our glasses full.Food:Each dish is infused with Cuban and Chinese flare. Must-order apps: My friend and I ordered the Ma-Po Maduros (omg mouth watering thinking of it. Just get it. That’s it), the Cuban sandwich springs rolls (hands down best app on the menu! Unique & tasty take on the classic Cuban sandwich - Flakey & flavorful w/a zesty sauce), and the Crispy shiitake wontons (these were okay, needed more flavor for the veggie). For entrees we ordered the Cuban eggs Benedict (cooked nicely & tasty) & the steak and eggs (a classic brunch edition but the chimichurri sauce on the steak was amazing!).Drinks:Choose the boozy bottomless brunch. Only $29 with your classics (mojito, mimosa, margarita, sangria etc.. ) & also other drinks with a twist like a twist (guava screwdriver). Never disappoints, constantly refilled (getting your moneys worth for sure).Atmosphere:Adorned with Cuban/Chinese centric decor. BUT Venue is very very small, narrow and was super short staffed BUT our server did his best and was very professional! Only a few tables for large parties. They make do with the space they have.Overall - GO! Can’t speak for lunch or dinner but the brunch has me sold.“
“Come here often and never disappoints. Everyone is amazing, food, drinks, atmosphere is great, we have also rented out their party room located a little further down from actual restaurant but amazing, we were given enough tone to decorate, nothing on walls which is respectable, clean, and workers are attentive, food is placed out like buffet, we had about 8 tables space was perfect. Music great, we connected our music to system.Parking: There is a lot in rear and more parking spots in front.“
“Exceptional dining experience! Outstanding service, exquisite presentation. The Churrasco was pure perfection, and the desert was delicious. Christian the manager gave me a warm welcome. The waiter Agustin was very patient and Priofesional. I will definitely be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for this Amazing Restaurant.“
“How I love this restaurant, just like his entire family, Juanito was of great support to me, he gave me work when I needed it the most, what kind of person I love them very much and their quality of food is incomparable, I am proud to appear in one of their photos that they have on your wall next to my great Mr. Juanito, 100% sure that as soon as I am in NJ I will visit you, a big hug for all of you and I remember Elena very much, my name is Ivan Orellana el catarcho. Greetings“
“Came here for the first time on December 3, 2023, seeking Cuban bread. The restaurant has closed but a small bakery around the corner is still open for tostadas, empanadas, pastelitos, coffee, etc. It’s a shame that they have had to scale back but my cafe con leche and a buttered tostada was still top notch! Go support them!“
“My third order, the waiter took down the wrong order. I asked for boliche (pot roast) moros (rice and beans), and plaintains. I received boliche, plantains, and maduros Sweet bananas! I called and they delivered the moros (beans and rice)right away. Next time I will ask the waiter to read the order back to me! However, the food is fresh, the staff is polite. The delivery is prompt!“
“When I tell you I loved this place! Just wow! The food is absolutely fresh like a better flor de mayo. I’m sorry not sorry..the chicken was just so good, fluffy and airy. They have some of the best fried dumplings, same texture as the chicken. It’s like fried but baked at the same time lol so so good! The drinks were nice and balanced also, I really enjoyed my mealI would definitely come here again, the onlyyyyy thing thing is parking ! Finding parking is such a drag in this area. Either take the train or take your chancesKid-friendliness: It’s a family oriented restaurant suitable for children“
“I had an even at Son Cubano and it was a success, my guests were extremely happy and satisfied. The food, the service, and the ambiance were excellent!!! When I started looking for a place to celebrate my birthday I reached out to many places but something that stood out to me was Amy's willingness to work with me and meet my needs. From the beginning to the end, she was so caring and detailed, I was shocked when I saw the sunflowers on my tables (she heard when I said those are my favorite flowers). She did everything with excellence. Barbara the attendant was amazing in serving us, she even made sure I had a space for my gifts and a box for my cards, and the bathroom attendant Andrew was such a gentleman. These are the details that make a party so special and memorable.“
“This is one of my summer favorites . In the heart of everything and I could go here for the rest of my life . I never get a picture so yes I will do a update it's my go to spot after shopping or b4 a happy hour kind of day. The service is always fast the restaurant is clean go see it yourself don't take my advice“
“It's a nice community restaurant food & service is great. I've been in this neighborhood 25 yrs and whatever restaurant was in the property never made it past 2 years. Havana's cafe Is so good been there approximately8 yrs or more. Prices are decent for this time and age. So enjoy“
“Cubana Cafe may be small, but it packs big flavor. I opted for the chicken soup and the chickpea salad with avocado and chicken, while my boyfriend had the Latina burger. We both loved our meals. The food was delicious.I also want to give a shout out to Cubana cafe for being open on Christmas. It's not easy to find places to eat on that day, and we were so grateful to have stumbled upon your eatery. You can be sure that when we come back to Brooklyn, we'll be swinging by Cubana cafe again. For sure. See you again soon!“
“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“
“Dinner with my Sister, last minute change of location due to cold weather. Met in Hoboken with no idea where to go. Found this little gem. Warm, cozy amd cute, cite, cute. My sister gave them five stars for atmosphere. Food is delicious and excellent value. Service waa friendly and responsive, ding'd them a star as they forgot pur soda's ( its BYOB) and dinged them a star on food because the empanadas didn't blow our minds. (It was fine). Every other dish was excellent. Anytime I'm in Hoboken, now we know where to go. Great for date night and intimate occasions. Small, so not ideal for large groups“
“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'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 food in this particular cuchifrito/restaurant is very delicious. I had a fried fish with salad and my wife had a soup/mondongo with white rice. We certainly enjoyed it.I must say that the seating is a bit uncomfortable and space is very limited. The tables are very small. I recommend taking out your food. There is no wheelchair access and no restrooms. However, the food is absolutely delicious,excellent,and sabroso!“
“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. ??????????“
“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!“
“Plates are about $13 and they will FILL YOU UP. My husband loves coming here but he has to come with me because he can't speak Spanish, haha! No worries he's good at pointing at what he wants and they bring you your food to the table. It's his favorite place to eat in the neighborhood, of course I love it too. There's always soccer on the tv and the ladies working here are very friendly. Check out their weekly lunch specials on their menu or feed your whole family with their huge servings.“
“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.“
“Never had Chinese Peruvian food before so was very intrigued. Came on a weekday night and was surprised that the store was packed. Was able to get seated quickly and they allowed us (2 people) to sit at a 4 person table which was very nice of them. - Complimentary Bread - I don't know what they put in this bread, but I was a huge fan. The bread was so soft and hot... and with the butter, it was just perfection. I also loved the crust as it was very flaky and crisp. I could just eat this as a whole meal and be happy. - Lomo Saltado (Beef) - I was not a big fan of the fried rice on the side but this was one of the best Lomo Saltado I've had in the city. The tomatoes and onions were cooked to perfection as they were very soft and packed with flavor. The fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The beef was also very tender but crispy at the same time. - Chinese Style Squid Fried Rice - Not a big fan. Feel like there was a strong oily after-taste like the fried rice in the Lomo Saltado. I did appreciate how many ingredients there were, but it didn't feel very appetizing. Overall, would just recommend the bread and the Lomo Saltado if you do come here. Also, I have to say that it's refreshing to watch all the servers play around, it made me very happy to know that they all are great friends with one another.“
“Brunch Buddies had brunch on Sunday. The food was delicious, the oxtail is the best , meat fell off the bone and that gravy ,so yummy. The portions are just right. Try the green beans we ordered for the table and we all loved it. Staff is friendly and attentive and the wait for the food was very short. .“
“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.“
“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.“
“I believe Flor de Mayo is a unique NYC chain mainstay. I love that they have multiple locations but I usually go to the same one lol. Last time I was here it was right before I was pregnant with my daughter.The staff is always on point and it’s always packed. Locals love the drinks and Chinese-Peruvian fusion. This place is my version of an upper echelon Chinese Food Restaurant!! There use to be something similar on Fordham Rd. MOVING ON!!I ventured out this time and ordered food I normally wouldn’t. I got the cilantro rice and wasn’t really satisfied. I thought the rice was a little mushy and not the flavor profile I was looking for. The chickpea guisado could’ve been better. It really just looked like they threw a slurry in a pan with tomato sauce and chickpeas. I will not be ordering either of those again. I will stick to the fried rice which is always exceptional!My grandmother accompanied us on this trip and enjoyed herself so I appreciated that. We just learned she has GERD so having something she enjoyed made our day.With love.“
“Easily my favorite breakfast in Hoboken. They serve up delicious, unpretentious food with proud Cuban flavors. The restaurant is so festive and fun and you can jam to the music while having a nice conversation. I just love the energy here and leave feeling warm and recharged. Would recommend the omelette and the French toast. They butter and toast up a bit of bread for the table which is a nice touch. The pastries always look amazing and I like to get an empanada for the afternoon.“
“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’ve come here several times and every time it has been a great experience. Oscar our server was phenomenal and very attentive. The coffee with milk was great and super cute with the little bear. My steak with shrimp was delicious and the tres leches was so good!!!!“
“This place is definitely hidden from the plethora of restaurants on bergenline.It’s basically a cafeteria with a bar, the waitresses are nice to the point - just know what you want.Only reason why the review loses is a star is the “cuban tamale” its not , no meat/pork - it’s basically an elote (corn tamale). It ain’t terrible for an elote but a traditional Mexican restaurant would be the ideal spot for that.The food is actually good , nowadays outside food especially “cuban” food is trash - nothing like abuela / mama / tia. It will hit the spot!The croquetas were soft, they could’ve been fried more to get them crispy.The mondongo was delicious, generous portions of tripe!Would definitely return, recommend (except the tamale)“
“I came to his place over the weekend for some Patrick day, and it was just great. The appetizers we order were delicious.The drinks were amazing and the bartender was super fast making us drinks that he knows how to do them . He did a great job making my friends and I feel good ?? , highly recommended.“
“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!“
“Their Seafood Soup is at another Level!It's reasonably priced and extremely Delicious Soup!You may want to Order a Large Seafood Soup Because it's delicious ?Parking: Good LUCK finding Parking...But if you do....Hold on to it....lol“
“A Cuban restaurant located in Union City. The place is so beautiful, both the outside and the inside, with wonderful graffitis on the walls. The loud music bothered us a bit - but we understand the place is also a bar. The tables are a bit tight and very close to each other. Food is good - we've had empanadas and jamon croquetas. There's a good variety of drinks - and it was interesting to see that they had "mojito brazilero" - our caipirinha from Brazil. The staff was very kind and attentious the whole time. A good place to go, especially if you like the Cuban cuisine.“
“An outstanding place, amazing and delicious food and lastly but not least the service was excellent. Thank you so much to Isabel our waiter and the rest of the staff for making our night and my aunt 60th birthday special. We will be back again!!!“
