“Everything is delicious!❤️“

“I was so excited to finally try Gilberto’s Cafeteria, especially because I came here to celebrate my 16th birthday! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was beautiful, warm, and welcoming, which made the whole experience feel even more special.

I ordered the Cuban sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and cooked perfectly. You could really taste the Cuban flavors, and it honestly exceeded my expectations. I recommend if this is your first time coming to defenitly try it.

What made the experience even better was the service. Everyone was so friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our meal. It really felt like they cared about making our visit special. Being a small family owned business you can see the dedication they put into making their costumers happy which was so wholesome.

Overall, Gilberto’s Cafeteria was such a great choice for my birthday. Between the amazing food, beautiful atmosphere, and wonderful service, it made a special day even more memorable. I’m already looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu!“

“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 love this place! The service is excellent, and everything they sell is delicious, especially the cachitos and the asado negro. The only thing I didn’t like this time was the shredded beef. I used to love it in previous years, but it seems they changed the sauce or the recipe, and it just isn’t as good as it used to be.“

“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.“

“I live around the block and I am lucky to have such a great bakery close by. The coffee is always amazing. The bakery is always very clean. What makes this place special is the ladies who work there. They take ownership and treat the customers with great care.“

“Truly the greatest dining experience you can have in the area. The food is incredible, the atmosphere is so welcoming and inviting, you’ll never want to leave. If you get a chance, Monica is also the best part of the whole experience. She made our night a 10 out of 10 to 11. Might have to come on a weekly basis moving forward.“

“I'm not usually one to dish out five star reviews like candy, but I'm beyond thoroughly impressed. It was genuinely the best food I've ever tasted. I didn't know that was a thing I would say. I sound... Extremely pretentious right now, but it's a luxurious and excellent place to eat that takes you surprisingly few dollars. (My dad got the Arroz con Pollo de la Charrera, and I got the «El Poquito de Todo», we both got deserts, and we didn't crack 50 bucks.)

Our server Cristian was excellent, he was very attentive and not afraid to talk to us!

We're certainly not from the area. Me and my father are going on a roadtrip from Tennessee (we drove up to NYC in 1.5 days!!) to Vermont, to use every single day of my Fall Break. So, considering that, it's unfair for me to recommend it over other places here. I'll get around that by recommending it over every place this side of the Mississippi!

Seriously. You aren't gonna regret eating here. The mains are amazing, extremely flavorful and well-seasoned without being overly strong. The plantains, especially, are literally good enough to make you cry. The pastel de tres leches is also nothing short of phenomenal. I'm not a drinker, but they had a very extensive collection of high-branded wines and a lovely looking bar.

Any dish you try here will change your life. Go on! Try it!“

“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“

“Service was good in the beginning. Then after we were served the waiter didn't come back. We had to ask someone else for another drink. Then we had to wait for our check, at least 20 mins in between both drinks n check. Then the service charge was added which would be ok if the service was great. Just not happy with the service that's all! Every else was fine.“

“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.“

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

“Incredible Cubano, excellent frozen margarita 👍🏻“

“We were tight w time since we got there at 6:15 to eat dinner and had a 7:30 show. They got us out on time; they also had a great pre-theatre pkg that incl drink, app, entree n dessert for $49 !! Great food great service; passion fruit margarita - delicious 😜“

“I don’t want to sht on this place too much cause it’s one of the few spots you can get a decent rice and beans w tostones but as far as being “authentic” it is not. I’m from Miami I would know. Pastelitos are puff pastry and they should not be selling empanadas at all, it’s not Cuban food at all. Please stop it with the plantain chips too. Like if it’s Colombians/peruvians or whatever else in the back don’t call the spot authentic Cuban. Now they adding salchipapa to the menu. The tostada is on point though.“

“Great food!!! And drinks 🍹“

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

“Ariel the manager is amazing Excellent food and great atmosphere nest of bergen county!“

“Simply the best, most authentic Cuban food in this area. I was raised in Miami and my mom would make all of our meals from scratch. This is the closest thing to that experience.
Mercedes ( also my mom’s name) is a gem!
But, the food is what brought me here! I work in a midtown law firm and the “ gringos” raved over the food and flavors!!!“

“Atmosphere, Service, excellent drinks. If there is a bad review on here… they are taking themselves way too seriously or don’t have taste buds. I had some great cocktails with a nice twist as well shrimp wontons that were amazing. I had the lobster butter noodles 🍜 and they were fantastic with steamed broccoli’s. I have entertained for 30 years and this place is great. Order a cocktail, relax and enjoy your meal.“

“Everything was wonderful from the ambience , food and service . Celebrated my birthday with my family !! We all enjoyed every morsel. Thank you for all.“

“I came to this restaurant for the first time on Saturday, and I completely fell in love with the food. Everything was absolutely delicious. It was so good that I went back again on Sunday brought my mother-in-law with me, and now today, Tuesday, I’m going back again — that’s how amazing it is.
I usually don’t like to only write reviews when something is bad, so I had to make sure I wrote one for this place because they truly deserve it. The food, the flavor, and the overall experience were just incredible.
I recommend this place 1000%. Definitely a must-try!“

“Reminds me of my grandmother’s cooking“

“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“

“We had such a great experience! The food was amazing, and the service was excellent. Matias was super friendly and attentive, and he really helped us with the menu and gave us great recommendations. Everything came out quickly, and the atmosphere was really nice too. Definitely a great place, we’ll be back!“

“Kuba in Fort Lee is absolutely amazing! The food is delicious, the drinks are great, and the service is always on point. Everything we ordered was flavorful and fresh, and the staff made the whole experience even better. The atmosphere is beautiful and has such a great vibe too. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Fort Lee. Highly recommend! ❤“

“Service throughout the evening was top-tier. Even with a packed house, the staff operated seamlessly—beginning with a smooth arrival at valet, followed by a warm greeting from the host and attentive table service. The management presence was particularly impressive. A manager named Leo consistently checked in, promptly assisting with water refills and stepping in to ensure we had takeout containers packed up without any delay. Truly attentive hospitality.“

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

“Excelente Servicios y Buen Ambiente“

“Great food and great service. The food reminds me of home and is reasonably priced. We keep coming back for the ox tail stew, ribs, beef steak, porkchops, dumplings and the boneless chicharonnes de pollo. Most meals are served with white or yellow rice and beans or vegetables. If you want to try something different, they have the beef liver and squid ink fried rice which remind me of squid ink Paella. The combination meals are a great option to try out different dishes. The staff and owners always greet you with a warm welcome.“

“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 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.“

“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‼️👍🏻“

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

“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.“

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

“This place is beautiful awesome playlist. I went on a Sunday and there was plenty of parking but I am sure it would be more difficult on a weekday until after 6pm when street parking becomes available. The burger and fries very solid, the el mensajero drink was excellent, I had some toast with ricotta, honey and almonds that was really good as well. It wasnt very crowded but the space is awesome I would like to go back on one of their event days. Overall good experience will come back for sure.“

“I’ve been coming here for years, and the quality and service have always been consistently excellent. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and served in generous portions. The restaurant is spotless, the staff is genuinely welcoming, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and portions you receive, especially compared to other places in the area. Definitely one of my favorite Cuban restaurants!“

“Deliciosa comida y excelente atención“

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

“Good food, good menu and good waitress“

“This place is one of the best places to have a healthy lunch in West New York. I am amazed that it doesn't have any review yet. I tried fish and also lunch specials twice out three times being there, I recommend fish and cow tail. A nice girl works there having very helpful attitude toward customers (unfortunately I don't remember her name but you will find her at lunch). You might have a little bit of problem communicating in english, but all of the times that I had lunch there, they prepared exactly what I meant. A meal size was more than enough for me and I am not skinny, unhealthy or anything. Did I mention the price? it is worth every penny.“

“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.“

“Family friendly atmosphere“

“We were in NY for a couple of days, because our baby broke down, while they were doing the repairs the mechanics recommended this gem, excellent food, good atmosphere, friendly, helpful and cordial employees, we asked for a typical dish, they promised to make it up to date Next, we returned 2 days later and if they complied, they had the "Locrio de cerdo" dish. What a delight.The coffee has a strange taste, but it's not bad. The breads and croissants are delicious.The bathroom is small, but it allows you to freshen up ?The man in the kitchen is quite nice, and the lady at the front desk speaks very well, the site makes you feel comfortable. They let me stay for a while and it was great, because looking at a broken down truck is no fun.“
