Cuban Restaurants near Dumont, NJ

“Used to be my favorite place and ordered river vale at least 2-3x per week but hadn't ordered for a long time until recently i had craving for their ox tail combo and Cuban sandwich. sadly no more ox tail and both puerco asado shredded pork dish and Cuban pork were so bland and dry and burnt with the pressed bread which was like a stale burnt roll with 1 or 2 pickles..thats it. was disappointed the puerco asado dish didn't even come with rice and beans as was used to be included in the past. and no phone number available to call and talk to someone. very sad because used to be one of my favorites and probably will not try again.“

“Came in for lunch after a very busy morning at work, and, if I'm being honest, with a minor hangover. Everything about this place fixed me right up. I felt like I went to lunch at my tia's. The ropa veja I got tasted exactly like the one I grew up eating. Comfort food and comforting vibes.“

“Who ever owns this place or really Rumba Cubana in general as a whole is a genius. How do they make such great food at such low prices but still makes the restaurants upscale in feel while still delivering great service is the holy Trinity of restaurants. Go to any of them.“

“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“

“2024 - My dad, sister and brother in law came to visit me this past weekend and the first spot I made a reservation for was at Kuba! My husband and I visit here all the time and go for the excellent service, food, and atmosphere. Oh.. and can't forget the music on Fridays and Saturdays 🎵. I have not seen my sister so happy in such a long long time after the death of our mom. She was smiling ear to ear and enjoying the whole atmosphere. THANKS KUBA for making my family and us (husband and I) always feel like royalty.

Dear Kuba Family,
Thank you so much for making our 5th-anniversary dinner yesterday truly wonderful! We started with our favorites—the spicy yellowfin tuna on tostones and the coconut shrimp—and both were incredible. For dinner, the creamy chicken and Cowboy ribeye were absolutely delicious.

Since you first opened, we’ve loved visiting for the romantic atmosphere and great music. We are so grateful to Andres, Nelson, and your wonderful new bartender Bryan. Gillian, you do a fantastic job hiring such a professional and welcoming team. Whether we dine in or order out, the quality is always perfect. Thank you for another memorable celebration!
Attached are pics from our visit in 2024 and pics from our visit yesterday for our anniversary“

“Went there as I was catching a show across the street. Nice small place with cozy atmosphere. There was seating inside and outdoors. My wife and I started off with a chicken and beef empanada. The filling was delicious and the outside was flaky and light. Delicious empanadas. For our main course my wife had the Cubano and I had the Classic 55 Burger. My wife got sweet potato fries with hers and I got regular seasoned fries. The Cubano was a nice size portion. My wife really enjoyed it And enjoyed the sweet potato fries. The burger I had was absolutely delicious and the french fries were crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The price was definitely reasonable for what we ate. And I did not leave hungry. It was just enough. Definitely a place worth stopping at again and having a couple drinks and some nice food. Also, our server was great. Nice to talk to and very attentive.“

“I had the Morcilla n it was delicious. Gotta go n try everything lol“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Gilberto's is the kind of place that feels like home the moment you walk in warm, family-friendly, and full of heart. The service was genuinely great, and you can tell the staff takes pride in what they do.
We ordered the Sopa Gallego, the Ropa Vieja, and the star of the meal the Cubano sandwich. The sopa was hearty and comforting, and the ropa vieja was something special tender, slow-cooked shredded beef with deep, layered flavors that brought back a wave of nostalgia with every bite. Incredibly filling too, the kind of dish that warms you from the inside out.
But the Cubano? That's what you come back for. Perfectly pressed golden bread with just the right amount of crunch giving way to layers of juicy roasted pork, savory ham, melted Swiss cheese, tangy pickles, and mustard every bite was a perfect balance of salty, smoky, and bright. It wasn't just a sandwich, it was a moment. The kind that makes you close your eyes and just appreciate it. I will go out on a limb and say this is the best Cubano in New Jersey don't sleep on it.
The flavors throughout felt authentic and lovingly made, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality you're getting. This is the kind of neighborhood spot that deserves to be packed every night.
We will absolutely be coming back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a genuine Cuban meal in a warm, family-friendly atmosphere“

“Delicious cuisine, and friendly service!!! The vibes in this place are great. I especially enjoyed the Cuban rice. There's a nice offering of vegan items, and a solid selection of fish dishes. The flavor and seasoning on the rice was truly memorable. I would definitely come back for more.“

“Great place to enjoy food with co-workers, friends and family, profesional and friendly service, they have live music, went with my gilr friends this past saturday and had a very good time, can't wait to go back, congrats to the whole staff!!!!“

“Authentic Venezuelan Bakery — A Must-Try!
This bakery is absolutely amazing! The pastries are fresh, flavorful, and just like the ones back home in Venezuela. I tried the cachitos, golfeados, and pan de jamón — everything was perfection. The smell when you walk in is heavenly, and the staff is kind and welcoming. You can feel the love and tradition in every bite. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a true taste of Venezuelan baking!“

“Omg, no need to travel to Haverstraw to find good Spanish food, Fuego a la Lata in Blauvelt. has great food.“

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

“This is a local Chinese/Peruvian food restaurant that gives new meaning to Chinese food! This fusion of flavors is amazing! I’ve had the steak with tostones, their chicharrón de pollo & many other delectable dishes. They also have a nice bar & make excellent Pisco sours which I can’t find in too many places! I live in Rockland County & the hubby & I take the trip about monthly just to eat here! Nothing fancy about the restaurant but definitely good eats! Highly recommend! The hubby &!I will definitely be back! 😋😋😋“

“love the atmosphere food delicious 😋 service is superb 👌 👍“

“This was a celebratory gathering for a colleague's birthday. The bar setting wasn't quite a vibe I enduldge in regularly but if you're looking for a place to socialize, drink and watch sports. This place has it all going at once.
My most favorite aspect was the food. For a social sports bar. I was pleasantly surprised at food options offered. I am a vegan, keto, vegetarian 🥵 yes I know! Its a mouthful but my allergies call for a specific diet to maintain optimum health. I digress, they offered 3 types of French fries, Buffalo cauliflower, sautéed garlic broccoli. All fit me narrow feeding needs. So need a place for a diverse dining?? This is a great store to try out“
