The food was delicious! The place is beautiful! Our server was kind and attentive. The food was so delicious, we requested to speak to the chef! He came out to meet us, and was very kind and humble. The only things worth noting was they take your complete order together and it is rapidfire between appetizers and dinner. I really would’ve enjoyed some space in between, especially because the restaurant was not very busy. Also, the server that brought our food out was a little sloppy and spilled the food juices all over all of our jackets. We didn’t notice it till the end of dinner and didn’t want to mention it to put a negative spin on our positive experience. Also, there is a 3.99% surcharge for using credit cards, which is not uncommon these days but I felt a little on the higher side. Overall, we were all extremely happy with our meals, the portion size, and the quality of the food. I would definitely recommend this restaurant! It was so good that the things that were a little off still will not take away my five stars.

Just ordered a cunan sandwich for take out. But when I went in to pickup the layout and atmosphere was really nice and pleasant. The sandwich was good. Not crazy about the cheese. But looking over the menu I saw a lot of dishes that I'll be trying g over the next few visits.

I visited here with a group of four last night. We were looking for something different from the ordinary chain or numerous Italian restaurants in central NJ. They did not disappoint. I can’t say if the food was authentic as I am not from Cuba but the flavors were very good and the quality was high. Don’t miss their empanadas. The dough is light, flaky and not greasy. The beef filling had a great flavor. I had the Lechon Asado and it was very enjoyable and moist (albeit a little difficult to eat for a novice). One in my party got the Tres Leches cake which was the star dessert. It’s bring your own if you want wine. There is a liquor store right across the street. Plenty of parking lots in and around Main Street Freehold.
Parking: Lots of places including near the courthouse.

Just not it. Food is mediocre and over priced. The owners are rude and cheap. Don’t expect service to be above or beyond your expectations.

Authentic Cuban food. We ordered the Cubano sandwich with fried plantains and pork belly for the appetizer. The pork belly was incredibly tender, I cut it with a spoon. And the sauce was very flavorful. The chicken dish in the picture was amazing, get bone in chicken over chicken breast for more flavor and tenderness

Love this Restaurant it has outside sitting with umbrellas to cover yourself from the sun. I had shrimps in garlic souce with yellow rise. It was very tasty. Dessert was Flan with a Cuban coffee wich is the equivalent of an Italian expresso but in a small size. The Sangria had no alcohol but kind of citrucy with pieces of apples and oranges and lots of ice. Wow very refreshing. No alcohol is served at this Restaurant, but you can bring your own. Tips must be given in cash only. BON APPETITE.

Love this restaurant! Food is great and the staff is very friendly. I've been dining here for 10 years and it's very consistent

I ordered Lechon Asado. Portion was so big I wish I could have finished it. The flavor was superb. Mary our waitress was wonderful. I will be back.

This place wants to be Cuban, however the food that this restaurant serves is the exact food a stay-at-home dad would make for his kids on a whim! My family ate at this place today and I do not think that I have ever spent $90 for a sandwich lunch in my life! And not just any lunch, a subpar lunch! I would have been better off spending my money at a steakhouse for lunch! I most definitely would have been more satisfied! What is the owner thinking?!!! The check comes in a cigar box with a note that I should give a tip in cash. What owner does this?!! I went next door to grab $20 out of the atm for a $3.50 surcharge to tip the guy who expected something in the first place. I felt had after leaving this restaurant.

The Mofongo was made with yellow and green plantains. That's a no-no sir. Charging as much as you charge you should know better. Also spend some money renovating your bathroom. Not so authentic Cuban food and the food was blah for the money
For the prices they have on their menu, you’d expect the food to have great flavor. Even the sprite tasted off and flat.. I had the churrasco, it very much lacked flavor, it’s not even served with a slice of lime or anything just plain with what seemed like bagged steamed minute rice to me. I also had a side of tostones which were kind of hard to bite into.At the end of my meal, the server asked me if I wanted to take home my leftovers. I agreed. I had beans to which he said he would bring me a container to put it in. The container? A TO GO COFFEE CUP with a sipping hole in the lid. For my beans??? To take home???? He then proceeds to tell me be careful it doesn’t spill there’s a little hole at the top. What?????? When I said, no thank you why would I put liquid beans inside a coffee cup to spill in my car on my way home? He offered me the large size container for the meal portions as the container for my to-go beans?So you mean to tell me, there isn’t a single meal on your menu for less than $25 and you can’t even provide proper take out containers????Also, not really family friendly. No kids meals and they brought my kids’ drinks out in their famous coffee to go cups.Sub par food, extremely expensive, very boring atmosphere. I guess they spent all their budget on the upscale decor and tacky cigar boxes they use to bring your receipt out to you. There’s nothing really Cuban about the place except the sugar cane decor. I paid $125 for 3 meals…Very disappointed, wouldn’t return.If you want to try a REALLY good Cuban spot, check out CubaNu in Rahway. THEY have immaculate food! Or Rumba Cubana if there’s one near you!

We went for dinner - Shrimp was great. Arugula salad was nothing special. I ordered the vegetarian paella for dinner. The menu did not indicate it had any spices like the regular paella. I asked for it to be a “a little” spicy. It came out EXTRA EXTRA spicy. Essentially inedible. They did not offer to remake it to what I actually ordered. Left hungry. Very disappointed because it looked good.

The atmosphere is nice, cozy, elegant and the food is super. High end place and the price is the same. A party of 10 ladies with a large appetite. We all enjoyed the Cuban flavors sabor. Appetizers and great coffee. What's to say "Go and enjoy." BYOB for now.

We got the Mofongo as a starter, Shredded Beef and Seafood Paella. It was good but not worth the pricing. Seafood Paella was good when asked for spicy. Otherwise I feel like the flavors are lacking in almost all dishes. Expected better. Bill was like $95...
