Cuban Restaurants near North Bergen, NJ

“Usually, I have a great foodie experience when I visir here, but I got the Cuban bowl, and it had no flavor. Literally, the only. Difference in flavor was the maduro to everything else. It really was juat lacking sazon. I got these corn ball fritters that were a 5 out of 10, and the drink gets a 5. Also, because it was a strong buy, I also had no body or flavor.“

“Some of the best empanadas and food for cheap here. Owners are hyper local and are super sweet. There could be a language barrier but for locals, its nonexistent. Super sweet.Right by the park

Wheelchair accessibility: Right by the park, should be mega accessible as long as you can speak to the attendent.“

“An absolute hole in the wall gem. My favorite is the medianoche but really all the sandwiches are good. Good service and nice area. I agree with these posts....its the biggest bang for the buck. For those that don't speak Spanish...well everything cant be perfect in life!“

“Everything is delicious!❤️“

“My husband and I drove all the way from Jackson Hole Wyoming and stop by to grab a bite, Food is excelent, everything is clean and looks healthy, staff is super friendly and helpful and the taste is top notch, American and Latin American food too. We highly recomend it. They're doing a really good job.“

“Excellent service and what I suggest is to put tables inside instead of the long bar and that way it is more comfortable to be in.

Vegetarian options: There may be more vegetarian options and brown sugar too.

Wheelchair accessibility: Alright.“

“Great value for the amount of food you get! I highly recommend - it's fast and very reasonable when it comes to price. It's a seat yourself type of restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating - very casual.

Vegetarian options: Eggplant tacos“

“Great food and music, and the service was fantastic! I dine alone often and this was one of the most accomodating experiences I’ve had. Wonderful all around!“

“Kimberly B. went above and beyond to make our anniversary celebration truly unforgettable. Her warm personality, impeccable attention to detail, and genuine care for our experience elevated the evening to another level. From the beautifully presented dishes to the flawless service, everything was absolutely spectacular. Kimberly’s exceptional hospitality made us feel so special, and we can’t thank her enough. We will definitely recommend this restaurant to others and look forward to returning for another incredible experience! ZORY WAS AMAZINGG OMG I WOULD RETURN JUST FOR HER LOL“

“Best Cubano in the city. The croquetas are good and the bacaloaitos are really good too. I like it there. The owner is a great guy too.

Vegetarian options: Ask for what you want. They'll accommodate as best they are able“

“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 absolutely love Rumba Cubana! This location is perfect also. The restaurant is situated next to a park in the downtown area of Jersey City. The staff are kind and professional, great service. I’ve dined in/outside and ordered delivery once. Ordering delivery was definitely a huge disappointment. I ordered the Tropical Salad with grilled Salmon but the piece of salmon was so tiny. Dining in, they are usually generous with the proteins added. I feel like this was a very upsetting experience. Overall, it’s definitely my go-to place. The Papa Rellenas are delicious, the frozen lemonade is a must and you cannot leave without ordering some of the guava and cheese empanadas!“

“What a gem. This cozy restaurant has everything I needed after a long day. The staff is friendly and polite. The space is comfortable - not too fancy and not too casual. Most importantly- the FOOD. The Salad Tropical was the most delicious salad I’ve had in my life - fresher than fresh with a unique and perfect blend of subtle flavors. I judge restaurants by their pork and the Lechon did not disappoint. Delicate flavorful seasoning complemented by tenderness. I will definitely remember this meal and recommend this place. Easily, I offer 5 stars.“

“My wife and I recently visited **Cuban Shack** in Brooklyn, NY, and the meal was a true showcase of Cuban comfort food. Two standout dishes were the **steak platter** and the **ground beef platter**, both of which offered bold, authentic flavors that hit all the right notes.

The **steak platter** featured a thin-cut, perfectly grilled steak that was tender and seasoned to perfection with traditional Cuban spices. The meat was juicy with a smoky char that complemented the classic sides of *moros y cristianos* (black beans and rice). The black beans were well-cooked, adding a savory depth that melded beautifully with the steak. The crispy *tostones* on the side provided just the right crunch, balancing out the heartiness of the dish.

The **ground beef platter** (Picadillo) was another highlight, offering a comforting, home-style flavor. The ground beef was simmered in a rich tomato-based sauce, with garlic, onions, peppers, and a hint of sweetness from raisins. Served over a bed of fluffy white rice, the Picadillo soaked into the rice perfectly, and the beans on the side added even more flavor.

While we thoroughly enjoyed both dishes, I have to note that personally, I’m not a fan of dishes that are mostly rice with small portions of protein. I felt like the platters at Cuban Shack could have been more generous with the steak and beef portions, especially given how delicious they were. Overall, though, the flavors were exceptional, and it’s a great spot if you’re craving authentic Cuban fare.“

“Good food, special drink called, BUTTER! Get ready it's lights out!!.. lol“

“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.“

“Definitely 100% recommended, excellent service, very good service from the waiters and bartender, thanks to Alejandro for his attention and excellent service with the drinks!!!! The food is very delicious, the music is great, I will definitely come back again, if you want to spend a night of rumba, this is the place, very good atmosphere!!!!“

“I recently dined at Mis Raices, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience! The food was absolutely delicious, and my family and I had a fantastic time trying some of their signature dishes. We ordered the ropa vieja platter and the chicharron de pollo, and both dishes were cooked to perfection. The flavors were rich and authentic, and the portions were generous. We were blown away by the quality of the food. But what truly made the experience special was the incredible treatment we received from the staff. They went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcomed and comfortable. Not only did they provide excellent service throughout our meal, but they also surprised us by celebrating my friend's birthday with a special dessert and a song. Overall, I highly recommend Mis Raices for anyone looking for an outstanding dining experience. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is inviting, and the staff is truly exceptional. You won't be disappointed!“

“Welcome to BSTRO 38 where you can find a bar serving mojitos in the front while serving traditional Cuban dishes in the dining room on two floors. This stylish and cozy restaurant has the perfect ambience to get together for a delicious fine meal. Browse through their extensive drinks menu with half price wine bottles every Monday and Wednesday. Choose from lip smacking starters from lamb chops to skewers to empanadas. Their attentive and friendly staffs are always around for any questions and clearing out the table ready for the next course. We had pan roasted salmon and roasted chicken breast for entree which was juicy and flavorful. Remember to save room for dessert. The cheesecake definitely hits the sweet spot.“

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

“My first time was wonderful. Food was delicious, healthy portions, service was amazing. Anicipated my every need, didn’t have to ask it was flawless. The environment, decor is beautiful, clean and cozy. I will be returning for sure. Our server Andy was gracious and warm.“

“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“

“We returned to Havana Central after seven years, and the experience was still great, if not even better! This iconic Cuban restaurant remains a sure bet in the heart of Times Square.

We came there to celebrate Thanksgiving Day and chose their special package for this occasion. The menu included a drink, starter, main course and dessert, providing a complete dining experience. Each dish was flavorful, perfectly executed and generously served. Traditional Cuban flavors were featured, and everything was prepared with attention to detail.

Special mention for the service, which was simply five stars. The team was warm, welcoming and incredibly attentive, which made our meal even more enjoyable. We felt pampered from start to finish, despite the crowds linked to the party.“

“We hired Casa Cubana to cater my Goddaughters Sweet 16th last month. No hassle putting together a great menu for a very large family / friends' event. With constant changes on my end, the staff was always a phone call away, very courteous offering excellent advice to ensure the perfect feast. Oh and the food was amazing.“

“Perfect place to come for breakfast, delicious food like you would have at home ? the eggs with chorizo ​​and the French toast I recommend it yes or yes even though it is very busy it is worth the wait 10 out of 10 / thank you we will return ♥️?“

“We went as an all girl night dinner. Atmosphere was warm and inviting. Food fabulous authentic Cuban cuisine. Drinks were delicious! Staff friendly and prompt. Will definitely be going again and again!“

“The food is good and is priced right. good portions at a very affordable price. I moved away from the area 2+ years ago and back then the decor was pretty bad, don't know if they put some work into that, I sure hope so.“

“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.“

“The food was amazing had the Croquetas de jamón, empanadas de carne molida, and the pulled pork with garlic sauce which came with rice beans & plantains. The waiters were great & very attentive. Definitely looking forward to going back and trying some of the other dishes.“

“Good food, reasonably priced. Makes you want to visit Cuba“

“Very rich all from the apostizers the bloody the delicious food and the very nice dishes decorated [Original] Muy Rico todo desde los appetizers la sangria la comida deliciosa y los platos muy lindos decorados“

“Came in for breakfast and it was a decent spot. The food we picked (neither of us got the Cuban) was good, but great. The chai latte was definitely overpriced for what was basically a glass of milk.
I'd try it again if I'm nearby and hungry, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.“

“My first time coming here and I must say, the food and service I was given was impeccable. Dining outside was rather comfortable despite the cold weather and the waiters I had were amazing. Being outside the atmosphere was rather simple so I'm unsure about indoor but it seemed cozy when I went to the restroom. I highly recommend people to check it out for dinner the most!

I had such a great experience.“

“The food is delicious but dry and with too many onions on top.
The natural juice was also good but my friend's juice, which was mango, had a very bland flavor.

The service was very good, fast and efficient.
The place is nice, the decoration is beautiful and the music is enjoyable.

If it is to return with friends and family. Very good place.“

“My husband Scott and I dined in this beautiful restaurant and enjoyed every minute of it! The food was delicious, the wine was superb and the service was phenomenal...our server, Mike was great, he went out of his way to make sure that we felt welcomed and ensured that we had an enjoyable dining experience! I told my daughter Ashley about this outstanding Cuban Restaurant and she can't wait to dine there! I highly recommend, The Cuban Restaurant...it is the Gem of Union City New Jersey!?“

“Excelente Servicios y Buen Ambiente“

“Beautiful service and energetic attitude from the chef and assistants. This place deserves all the review and attraction it's been picking up! The cuban specials and the empanadas are by far my absolute go-to whenever I want an authentic Cuban meal! The prices are perfect and the options feel endless. Definitely check out this little mom and pop shop!“

“We are the best place in neighborhood For a traditional Cuban food. Casual place ! Affordable !!!!! Best tasting buffet“

“Comida deliciosa y servicio excelente.“

“We did a quick visit as my wife was craving fried rice. The rice is very good, we recommend it.

I had a chicken mofongo. It comes with good sauce.

The drinks are great. We tried three different ones, and they are all good. However, with less ice ? would be even better.

This was our second visit. Let’s visit this place more.“

“The food and drinks are great. The atmosphere is lively and friendly. The staff is wonderful. Had my birthday dinner there this weekend and it was great!!“

“I went to New jersey for holidays stop by pio pio to eat some croquettes de jamon and a sandwich everything was amazing I hope to go back soon“

“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“

“Definitely worth visiting the food was delicious, drinks just right,* service warm and friendly and the ambiance nostalgic of Cuba. My server was from Guatemala not only was he excellent at his job he was a great ambassador to his native country. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Update this restaurant is still open and needs our business l visited today...see... updated pictures my meal was delicious as always I must say that I love the consistency of the menu.“

“Awesome food, great drinks and a great staff!“

“Never had a bad meal in 24 years of living in Hoboken and eating at La Isla. One of the best!“
