    We walked into this place to try something new from the restaurant we were actually headed to and were super happy with the choice. The food here is really good. The milkshake was the perfect blend of papaya and the tamal had the perfect balance of meat to masa. The breakfast was also super good that I wanted more lol. Staff is friendly and the place is cozy.

    Buenos días Vos (en buen salvadoreño) - because that what were in the mood for today- this place is good, clean and wholesome!! This place is one of the originals Cuban places we visited as kids with mom and dad. Perhaps a couple of years ago it was sold to a couple of salvadoreans - hence why they offer Salvadorean food as well... typical breakfast with frijolitos, cremita, maduritos y tortollita frescas - did I transport you to un changarrito in the heart of my beloved Usulután - !! Every time; yes, this is another regular place - - always good- fresh food, good , quick service and to fulfill your paladar!! ! Buen provecho!! - sorry missed the rabo encendido plate. Next time - stay tuned -

    To start this review off, this restaurant is not Cuban anymore. It's advertised as a typical Cuban restaurant which may be in the past it was but obviously it's not anymore. To confirm my suspicions I asked the gentleman at the counter and he assured me that the restaurant is not Cuban so we could get that out of the way. I ordered the platano soup and the Cuban plate of chicken salad, Cuban Tamal and Cuban ham croquettes. The Tamal was just okay. Nothing to write home about. The croquettes are pretty big but they don't taste like ham. They taste more like a mashed potato mixed with chicken seasoning. Just not great. The Platinum soup was basically tasteless. It had two pieces of tostones in it. It did not taste good, and was nothing like a real Cuban platano soup. All in all, I am on a streak of bad restaurants again, unfortunately. Definitely will not be coming back to this one.

    Wow! This was not only CHEAP but GOOD! Food came out fast, Mango shake was delicious.... and the food AMAZING. My 2 friends also loved their food (it was not their first time there)..... and they had a clean bathroom. I have kids and this is a place I would actually bring them because of the clean bathroom, now I am a clean freak and the only thing I would change is the fact that there's no napkins in the bathroom to dry your hands with..... OH AND THEY HAVE BEER AND WINE ;)

    View from the back. Cozy renovation. Go there !!

    Thank you guys for the very pleasant experience. My daughter and I shared Parillada for Two, which…read morewas inexpensive and yummy. The dish had pork, steak, chicken & shrimp!! It also had yucca fries, rice & beans!! Even typing this I can't believe the deal, lol. The service was great. Our drinks took a while to come out but they recognized this without us saying a word and comped us empanadas for the wait. Love this type of awareness and care for your customers. Matteo was a great & attentive server & last, but not least, the place is super cute. PS - Nice vibe, could have varied the music, but we're Bad Bunny fans, which seemed to be the bulk of the songs. :)

    We walked in as it is a relatively new spot. There were three of us and we were sat in a high…read morechair table that only provides enough space for two people, so we were cramped the entire time. The empanada sampler was sooo good, they nailed the flavors for sure. The ropa vieja was not as savory as it typically is at other restaurants. The mojitos and wings were decent. This is a great spot for happy hours and small bites. This place is huge, three floors or something. But only the first floor is used for dining, I believe. The others are rented out for events. Even when not having an event, it's a missed opportunity to not utilize the other floors.

    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.
