Portion size has decreased yet price has increased. Food still amazing just can't enjoy it as often as I like. Next time will definitely try to dine in.

Easily my favorite breakfast in Hoboken. They serve up delicious, unpretentious food with proud Cuban flavors. The restaurant is so festive and fun and you can jam to the music while having a nice conversation. I just love the energy here and leave feeling warm and recharged. Would recommend the omelette and the French toast. They butter and toast up a bit of bread for the table which is a nice touch. The pastries always look amazing and I like to get an empanada for the afternoon.

You really gotta love this place. One of the last diner-type establishments left in NJ with that original, old school flair and a Cuban/Miami/Latino theme. My family and I went for brunch, ordered egg platters (not picture) and a Cuban sandwich plus their famous Cubaccino ☕. Everything was good, we got seated at the end of the bar (not warm enough yet for outdoor seating) right next to the kitchen and bathroom and the owner looked like he was doing the books right next to us between helping out staff lol. I really appreciate that though, the busy environment, the friendly chatter and buzzing around of kitchen and wait staff. Everyone was happy, satisfied, gorgeous day out. Who knows, maybe I was just in a good mood going in but this place certainly puts in one, as well.

The food is incredible. They have the biggest, juiciest chicken/beef empanadas. Inside and outside seating. Before you leave always grab a café con leches. ?
