For being a Monday night, I think I picked out the perfect spot while in Hoboken! The Cuban…read morerestaurant is certainly more spacious than meets the eye from street view. It has a very long bar with a half floor in the back for additional booth like seating and also a mezzanine for additional seating above. We were very attracted to the restaurant from the outside with their fun music playing from the speakers. We proceeded to have dinner and a couple drinks to end the first Monday of the year. My coworker and I shared the garlic shrimp with toast and the trio of empanadas (spinach, pork, chicken). We'd rate both dishes, a 9 out of 10 each. One point knocked off because the garlic shrimp was a bit oily and one point knocked off because the sauces were a bit too sweet. For dinner we ended up sharing Churrasco plate which is grilled skirt steak with chimichurri sauce, yucca fries, and a watercress salad. We ordered additional side of rice and black beans to share. In addition to the appetizers, this was the perfect meal to feed us two. The steak was pretty good and the server even asked if we wanted the hot sauce which was so spicy but very delicious. I highly recommend getting some of it to pair with your steak. We did order a Mojito since the server said they make fresh in-househouse. It was in fact, so delicious and would highly recommend especially the guava flavor. For dessert, we decided to give the chocolate filled churros a try. It appeared with a raspberry sauce. That was a 7 out of 10 for us so I'd say skip on that. Romeo came out to about $140 for two including the Mojitos and dessert. I feel like it's pretty fair pricing. Otherwise, service throughout the night was amazing, staff was very attentive and server very polite to recommend a couple of dishes. We certainly appreciated being in an awesome booth in the back. Would likely return again for dinner!

I don't take leaving negative reviews lightly. I would much rather support a local business than…read morebash one. However, after attempting to address this directly with management multiple times and being met with zero follow-up and continued avoidance of responsibility, I feel obligated to share our experience. What we dealt with went far beyond poor service. It was unsanitary, chaotic, and frankly a potential health hazard that warrants review by the health department. We arranged for a private loft space on Valentine's Day to host a surprise birthday dinner for 25 guests with a prepaid prix fixe menu. From start to finish, the night was a disaster: * We were promised a private loft space, yet two other couples were seated upstairs with us, leaving some of our guests without proper seating and creating an awkward, cramped setup. * From the moment we arrived, buckets were placed in the middle of the party area due to a leaking ceiling caused by overflowing toilet water from the bathroom above. Water dripped into the dining area all night -- onto guests, tables, and plates. There was one bucket gathering brown water from the ceiling when we arrived and at least three by the time we left. Food and drinks were carried directly beneath it and the floor was soaked. This is a serious health code concern, and notably, two guests became sick after the party. * We appeared to have one single server for 25 people, resulting in extremely slow service. For a 6:30 reservation, appetizers began arriving 90 minutes later -- one plate at a time -- some cold by the time others were served. * Dinner was not served until 9:30pm. After nearly three hours of waiting for entrees, some guests had to leave without ever receiving food. * The included coffee, tea, and dessert -- part of the prepaid package -- were never offered or served. * After requesting to speak with a manager about the experience and a possible partial refund, we were told we would receive a call. That call never came. This was not a matter of a busy holiday or a minor delay. It was a complete breakdown in cleanliness, staffing, communication, and accountability -- compounded by management's lack of professionalism and refusal to take responsibility afterward. I attached photos from the moment our guest of honor arrived at the surprise party, and an additional photo of what the additional buckets looked like at 8:43 PM while we were still waiting for our food to arrive. I genuinely hope ownership takes this seriously before anyone else books a party or chooses to dine here, because no one should have to experience what we did.

The service was also top-notch--very attentive and welcoming throughout our meal. One of the best parts is that it's BYOB.

I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great Cuban food in Hoboken. We will definitely be back whenever we are in the area!

They're also BYOB so we picked up a bottle of wine from the liquor store a few doors down. I got the Camarones Al Ajillo and my sister ordered the Chuletas Encebolladas. Each dish comes with 2 sides and we both got white rice with black beans. Both dishes were good. The white since sauce with my dish was delicious but heavy. I loved it but avoid if you don't like a thick cream sauce. The food is a tad pricey but normal for the area and the portions are a good size. The dessert looked tasty but we were way too full for dessert. The restaurant was narrow but has a decent amount of seating. A cute place for date night.

We'll likely just get sandwiches in the future though, because the combos are basically deconstructed sandwiches and end up just being messy to eat. Clean, nice ambiance. Took off one star just because the waitresses weren't very attentive to us. They seemed to serve other customers before us time and time again, and we had to try very hard to flag someone down to get our complementary cups of orange juice, extra napkins and check. They aren't short staffed, we think they just preferred to interact with Spanish-speaking customers. Other than this service aspect, we really like it 10/10 and will be back.

Christ on a chopstick, I haven't seen an $8 sandwich since I was in grad school (back when dinosaurs roamed the earth)! We started with the Tamal Cubano, which was fantastically delicious, though the accompanying sauce wasn't hot at all. A shame, because it was well-flavored--just needed a lot more capsaicin. My Cubano was very well done, but barely had any pickle in it, which made me sad. I opted to add fries and wasn't sad about the small, thin ones I got (very McDonald's-shaped). However, the Pechuga de Pollo Adobada con Escabeche de Calabaza was a disappointment. The grilled chicken was drastically overcooked, probably because they used really lean breast meat. The accompanying Caribbean pumpkin was interesting, but too small. The other side of rice and beans was perfect, though--great bean texture and lots of savory flavor. With tax and tip included, our meal came out to $33. $33! You can't even get lunch for one person for that price at 90% of Manhattan restaurants south of Central Park. I could've cried with wonder at the bill. Time travel is real guys--at least financially. Just hop into El DeLorean and come to Chango.

The owner was present the day we went and he was super friendly and helped us make the birthday for her even better. There was hookah, multiple seats, a second floor, gender neutral bathroom, byob and plenty of street parking. The food was authentic Cuban food with a fusion twist. Everything was delicious. We all ordered different things so we could try each others plates . Everything was 10/10. At the end of the night we got dessert and hookah and our bill was only $230! Not expensive at all for the amount we drank and ate. Absolutely will come back to this place again and again. I highly recommend this to anyone on a date, solo or in a group. Place has such a nice Caribbean vibe to it with Cuban music and decorations. The staff is friendly and everyone is welcoming. Give them a try !

Ive been a resident of West Bergen JC for decades and sadly its been barren on food choices outside of fast food and chain restaurants. This place has come at a perfect time to the westside with all the new developments in the area. We came in on a sunday and had the place to ourselves. The decor is nice! I remember when it was another establishment so they did a very good job woth their improvements. The hostess and waitress were very nice. Its a BYOB restaurant so we brought our own wine BUT they have sangria and its free and all u can drink if u tag them on social media which is a great marketing tactic because who doesn't love a free drink?! We ended up taking our wine home and just going to town on the sangria which was very good!! Now lets get to the food. Moderately priced. We started with the shrimp scampi bruschetta, very strong in taste maybe from the white wine but it was good. For entrees we have the Vaca Frita and Skirt Steak. The meat was tender and flavorful. My Vaca Frita was a bit too lime for me, but still very delicious!!! It was served with rice and black beans! I saw ordered some sweet plantains! They were bomb! Crispy on the outside and tender and sweet in the middle!! So good!! I def want to return and try other items on the menu!! Overall great date night! So glad we gave them a try! Please support small local businesses like this one!! We desperately need them in our community. Thanks West Bistro for the great service and food! We will be back for sure and will def spread the word!!!!!!

Had an amazing time at Son Cubano for one of my girlfriend's birthdays. I have been wanting to try…read morethis restaurant for some time now so I was excited! She decided to come on a Saturday night as they have a live DJ. The restaurant has valet parking, but my husband and I opted to park in a local parking garage and walk over. It was about two blocks. The place is absolutely stunning! It is located right across from the city where you can enjoy beautiful views of the skyline and water. The restaurant has several gorgeous chandeliers and a very upscale vibe. The dining area seemed to be split in two and we sat in what seemed to be the main dining area, with the bar. But there was another extended area beyond. I was completing dry January so opted to have a mocktail. I had a guava margarita mocktail and let me tell you... This was the best mocktail I've ever had! A lot of times when I order one it just literally tastes like soda. I'm not sure exactly what they put into this one, but there was a smoky finish that made it taste like there was mezcal. Even my husband was surprised at how delicious it was and how much it resembled an alcoholic drink. I was elated to actually have a delicious tasting non-alcoholic drink. (For once) To eat, my husband and I shared the antojitos sampler. This made more sense for us than getting the individual appetizers we got - as that way would have been more expensive and we wanted to be able to try multiple things. The sampler came with ham & cheese croquetas (which were my husband's fave) mixed empanadas, maduros rellenos, queso Fritos y chicharrones. The fried cheese, maduros & chicharrones were my fave even though it was all amazing. For dessert, we had flan and sadly that was a miss for me. My grandmother's Puerto Rican flan will always top any that I try, so idk why I try lol Their spin is to add pineapple and I didn't like it. All in all, it was a wonderful birthday celebration and the birthday girl enjoyed the food & the vibe. Thanks for having us Son Cubano! I will be back to try your brunch!

No "thank you," no "see you soon," no request for a name. Just... click. We later noticed on our bill that it was "Havana Thursdays" with a pre-fixe dinner option, something no one bothered to mention. Why keep that a secret? And by 10:30 the place was a ghost town--no last call, no notice, nothing. Overall, communication was poor and everything else was just mediocre. Do better.
