Franklin, the owner, was very nice and steered me to some great choices. I got the beef and cheese and the beef chimichurri, both outstanding. I am saving my guava and cheese one for later but it also looks good. While the empanadas were delicious, the generous portions of sauce complemented quite nicely and kicked it up to another flavor level. The pink Siracha is creamy with a kick. The chimichurri sauce is very fresh with lots of garlic. You can pick up to three empanada and two sauce flavors for the meal. The store looks empty but if the door is open, walk in and someone will be out from the back. I had dogs in the car so i waited outside and Franklin was nice enough to bring the order out, as well as with my sunglasses which i had left on the counter. I will definitely be ordering from here many times to come.

The empanadas are made to order so expect a little wait. I thought it was on the expensive side, but it was a better empanada than some other places that barely put any meat. Flavors were good - next time i'd probably go with just cheesesteak and chimi sauce. Other things were just okay, probably wouldn't try them again. Friendly service, I'd stop by again when the craving hits.

Being honest, the food here is about three-star-worthy…read more But the prices. The prices are from 2010, and as long as Chango keeps its menu at those prices, I'm going to keep loving them. 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 service was also top-notch--very attentive and welcoming throughout our meal. One of the best parts is that it's BYOB. We just popped into the market a few doors down to grab a beverage before sitting down, which was super convenient. 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.

I've never eaten anything that I didn't like. My faves are: milhojas, breakfast croissant sandwich, and any and every cake with dulce de leche filling. I only tiny, minuscule complaint I have about this place is the lack of signage for the pastries and cakes. It would be nice to know what I'm looking at without having the ask. Absolutely zero gatekeeping here. Please everyone keep patronizing this establishment. I need this place to continue to exist in my hood.

So get anything fresh, like made to order cakes or things you see come out right when you're there. Otherwise you run the risk of getting old stuff, which sucks that they don't manage that at all. On a Sunday afternoon lines moved quickly and we were able to find seats. This is a cute cafe that offers plenty of savory items and lunches, plus drinks like matcha, cakes, pastries and cookies. There is also a bathroom! The women behind the counter were all nice and patient with my questions, they also kept the line moving and were quick. I had high hopes for the Alfajores as this is an Argentinian bakery but unfortunately the ones given to me were stale. The cookie was very hard. Also the Dulce de leche was too sweet and burnt tasting to me. I also got a chocolate covered one and the cookie in that was also hard and dry. The strawberry croissant was amazing. Never had anything like that before. Not too sweet and very flaky. It has a ribbon of red on the outside which gives it a unique look. I would love to come back and try savory items. I'll continue to stick with the cakes and croissants for desert and make sure it's fresh!

My husband and I came on a Saturday morning to have breakfast. We shared a Combo #1, Combo #4 and…read moreCuban Sandwich. The prices are unbeatable here, and the food is very good too. 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.

But the food is REALLY good for the price. They have daily specials on the hot food, and their sandwiches and coffee is sooooo good!

Founded by friends from Mexico and California, the restaurant focuses on authentic street-style tacos made with hand-pressed tortillas, quality meats, and traditional toppings. The setup is casual and fast-paced, and it's common to see a lineup, especially during lunch and dinner hours, but the line usually moves quickly. The menu is focused on a handful of tacos, quesadillas, and aguas frescas, with favorites like adobada, carne asada, pollo asado, and nopales. The open kitchen lets you watch tortillas being made fresh and meats being prepared right in front of you.

Their case was filled with so many delicious looking bites but I held some self restraint and just picked up a few pastel de natas and a guava and cheese danish. Delicious!

They had so much there that I can't wait to stop back in for: Portuguese rolls, empanadas, drip coffee, etc. While Salem isn't right by me, when I am in the area, this will have to be my new go to bakery when I am in need of a box of pastries to bring along to a party (or just for myself).

Fresh bread, pastries, and baked goods that are incredibly affordable. I drive by all the time and there are always numerous cars double parked outside. Now I see what the commotion is about. The bread is great if you plan to eat it fresh or freeze for later. The Heroes and Portuguese Rolls are my favorites, and the prices are unbeatable. The Glazed Donut was a good try; it's more like a cake than a donut but would definitely pair well with a coffee. I saw the Empanadas on display and decided to try two. The Beef Empanada was pretty solid but the Chicken Empanada threw me off a bit with the carrots inside. With $10 in your pocket, you can walk out of here with so much! Highly recommend supporting this local business.
