Cuban Restaurants near Cliffside Park, NJ

“Steaks were 5 ⭐️!!! Definitely going back!“

“Will the food blow you away? No (besides the street corn which is fantastic). And it’s not cheap either. BUT, the vibes are unmatched. My parents used to take me here when I was a kid and there’s just no better place for a summer lunch out with family or friends.“

“Authentic as it can be. The food is excellent. The music was awesome and service was good. It was a little hot but the mojitos made up for it“

“The decor at Victors Cafe was absolutely stunning! I was pleasantly surprised by how beautiful and classy it felt, with a wonderful tropical vibe. Our waiter was truly phenomenal, constantly checking in on us and being incredibly attentive. And the food and desserts were simply amazing. I highly recommend paying a visit to Victors Cafe for an all-around fantastic experience!“

“i hardly ever leave reviews, but i felt inclined after ordered from bennys tonight. i am a first gen cuban and this place really hit the spot. they went the extra mile to include their version of moros which i asked for even though it wasn’t on the menu. love places like this, love even more to support a CUBAN small business. Thank you!!“

“Our server Albert L was amazing. We went there for a birthday and he provided us with an amazing experience and made the birthday girl and the entire party feel special. If you get him as a server you are sure to have a beautiful experience and if the experience wasn’t enough the food and atmosphere were just as amazing.“

The customer service is good… 🥩🍷. te lo recomiendo mi favorito el churrasco y una copa de vino portugues hay variedad. para pasar un rato agradable en familia o en pareja. la atencion al cliente buena … y para soprender a un cumpleañero perfeto🍷“

“I ate at this restaurant during my Christmas vacation visit to New York. It is fantastic! The staff is friendly and welcoming. The food is so tasty. It was better than the big advertised restaurants. If you want a real delicious meal and some great music while you eat, go to this place. It's a hidden gem.“

“Came in around 3 PM on a weekday — totally empty, no reservations needed. I had the churrasco with rice and beans, chicken empanadas, shrimp skewers, and a peach margarita. Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious. No complaints! Oh! And the peach margaritas are exactly what you need before the meal and after.“

“My ethnicity is Cuban American and this restaurant checked off all the boxes for me.
I ordered the Oxtail which they served me 4 large pieces that were very flavorful and tender.
Yucca fries were nice and crunchy , I requested a small bowl of Cuban mojo to dip my yucca fries.
The white rice and black beans were very good.
Staff very attentive.“

“We had the BEST experience with Casa Cubana catering our large joint 80th/50th birthday party. The audience was made up of our large group of family and friends (roughly 50 Cubans :-) and they are a discerning audience when it comes to Cuban food). Everyone raved about the food- the lechón was super juicy, the mojo was perfect , everyone loved the empanadas and croquetas too. Diana and Mercedes were so helpful and communicated everything really clearly we are looking forward to working with Casa Cubana again ! Thanks again for making it such a special day!“

“We had a great time here for my brother's birthday. Went at 6 on a Saturday and wasn't too crowded so food came out quickly and everyone was satisfied. I had the steak nachos and a mango mojito. Both were good! The decor is so nice. Would like to go again while the bands are playing.“

“it was ok .. i.have to say that the order we got had a funny smell as if it been reheates. el moro cubano dont taste or smell like that“

“Good food, atmosphere, and drinks. Their empanada were very good, I like their spicy sauce, but if you are a bit more timid, mix the spicy with the mild for a great spice with a kick.“

“Incredible Cubano, excellent frozen margarita 👍🏻“

“The French toast stuffed with cream cheese and berries was fabulous!“

“Alot of love love for everyone relaxing charming and the best made Cuban Food made on the premises a true delight.“

“This was my first visit here. (I previously have had delivery on a couple of occasions and the food was very good.) Despite being a little early for our reservations and the place being very busy, we were seated immediately at the outdoor table I had requested in the reservations. The cocktails didn't take that long to be brought and were very good. The fried calamari appetizer (tapas) was outstanding- each piece perfectly crispy and not one piece was chewy. The sweet chili sauce worked very well with a mild heat in the middle of the tongue surrounded by sweetness. My wife enjoyed the jamon croquettas despite it lacking any sort of aioli or dipping sauce. My main dish of the deep fried Red Snapper was perfectly crisp on the outside, moist and tender inside and all around tasty. My wife enjoyed her fired cheese mofongo. Dessert of guava cheesecake and also the flan were good as well. Overall, service was good and the maitre d' walks around checking in on guests which is a nice touch. Overall, I thought the prices were very reasonable and you get nice size portions making it a good value. Just be aware that inside is fairly large and can get loud. Their windows are thick and outside you only really hear it when the door opens. Considering we live across the street and stare at the place from our windows, we'll be back, likely often.“

“I drive a lot for work and I’m constantly looking for nice wam plate of food! Usually I order to go! When I walked in the place is so cute that I thought it might be allowed to order and go! I was greeted nicely and they had no issues with my request! I paid around what I pay at other places for ox tails. I asked for it to be with Moro. My food came out with Moro on the side, beans, and white rice and the ox tails! But also, added plantain chips, and two cookies! I thought that was a great little gift! I’ll be back to dine here again“

“absolutely delicious 😋 food, anything they cook is amazing.“

“Small corner store w some seating. Their Cuban sandwich is fantastic, especially with sausage. Love the steak sandwich as well super simple but everything just works so well together to create a great sandwich. By the way their coffee is excellent as well“

“Cabana in Forest Hills has that lively, island vibe — upbeat music, friendly service, and food that feels like a mini getaway. I ordered the chuleta de cerdo (pork chops) with rice, black beans, and tostones. The sides were delicious — and lucky me, the tostones came with a garlic dip, which I happily used to give my pork chops the extra kick they needed 😉. I was hoping for a bit more Dominican-style flavor from the pork, but overall, a solid spot for good vibes and Latin comfort food done right.“

“Recomiendo todo. la comida muy deliciosa y la atención excelente. Nos saludan como parte de su familia , yo me siento muy satisfecha en todos los aspectos, excelente atención , el lugar muy acogedor y limpio. Lo recomiendo‼️👍🏻“

“We came to The Cuban in Union City to celebrate my stepfather’s birthday, and everything about the experience was amazing! Our server, Asiria, was absolutely wonderful — warm, attentive, and thoughtful with every little detail. She really made us feel welcome.

The team even surprised us with a birthday song and a flan, which was such a sweet and memorable touch! The food and drinks were absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was vibrant with great music playing in the background.

We had such a great time and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Nice eating experience!! This is truly a wonderful experience, super friendly and family oriented place“

“A big shout out to my best latin place in Hoboken: Chango Kitchen. Traditional yummy latin dishes. Our faves are churrasco con chimichurri (skirt steakgrilled) and ropa vieja (shredded beef). My kids loved "alfajores with dulce de leche", "tres leches" and hot chocolate with when it's cold outside. Service is warm and friendly. We can visit the place multiple times and never get tired. #supportlocal“

“I think that Rumba Cubana is so successful because, among other things, the staff is incredible and the food is delicious.
I have been to their different locations, but this past Saturday, I was in the vicinity of this particular one and decided to go for dinner. The place was packed and we had to wait a few minutes, but it was worthwhile.
I would like to send a shoutout to Matias for being extra accommodating. Thank you for understanding our particular situation and for finding us a table.
My friend and I had the chicken soup and the montaditos for appetizers. Then I had the arroz con pollo and my friend had the chuletas with rice and black beans. As always, the food was delicious, the portions were sufficient to take a little bit home for later and the service...the service is always magnifico.
I will definitely keep going back to Rumba and I recommend it highly.“

“I gave Kuba 3 stars overall: My husband and friends thought their paella was very good, but my rabo encendido was disappointing. Not particularly flavorful. One large bone, three little bones, no vegetables at all. The live music was very loud, which some people probably loved, but it made it impossible to talk to my friends or hear the server.“

“Good food, good menu and good waitress“

“Hace poco hice un pedido para un evento social familiar por un valor de $540 pero decidí pagar con mi tarjeta de crédito, obviamente me cobran el impuesto tax 6.625% de venta, sin embargo, tuvieron el descaro de cobrarme un 2.9% adicional por el uso de la tarjeta de crédito. Cuando les pregunté, me dijeron que había un cajero (ATM) automático que podía usar, por lo tanto si lo pagaría en efectivo y solo pagaría $ 540. Parece obvio que están tratando de estafar el impuesto sobre las ventas del gobierno. en cualquier caso, la comida no era tan buena y nunca volveré a ellos. Buen trabajo para estafar a los clientes pidiéndoles efectivo en lugar de pagar una factura de tarjeta de crédito.“

“We chose this restaurant out of the blue after a long day traveling and walking around downtown. This was a great restaurant... fresh, delicious food, great service and atmosphere. I highly recommend Havana Central Times Square for a casual dining experience for couples and families!“

“Excelente Servicios y Buen Ambiente“

“I know it’s been around but still a favorite ❤️Very trendy & modern. It’s valet service to the ambiance to the food music wait and drinks services. Pricey but worth it..we enjoyed paying for this level of service....The woman that manages the beautiful bathroom got my tip lol.Ty..so beautiful“

“I found this place through instagram and went in person had the sweet chilli wings and two empanadas, amazing! Loved it. Not a fan of the yuca fries they were a bit on the dry side but its always a hit or miss when it comes to Yuca / Yuca fries. The atmosphere was amazing, super clean place seems like a small family business loved seeing that. Truly recommend.“

“First time at Tina's... you know this spot is legit when all the local construction workers eat there too😋😋😋“

“Every dish is delish! Try for yourself and you will see. I normally don’t do reviews but this place deserves it“

“Owner is so sweet and workers are attentive even when busy. I am happy to say they take their time with their food, and provide excellent service. I did not mind waiting because scenery and weather was great as they provide seating in front the place.
Highly recommend!
My favorite spot“

“This restaurant has become my go-to recommendation. These employees show remarkable warmth and treat me like a regular. The food delivers flavor satisfaction and portion generosity. Tasty meals, fair costs and employees who really know their job. This place offers dependable satisfaction.“
