“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“

“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!“

“Ate here with my family on a Saturday night. We took an uber to this location as we figured trying to find parking would not be good. The service and food was good. I couldn’t rate the food 5 stars as my steak was not the one I ordered and the meat was chewy. I didn’t rate the atmosphere 5 stars either as the place is quite small and not too much space to stand around while waiting for a table. If in the area, I do recommend stopping here for some authentic Cuban food.“

“Reminds me of my grandmother’s cooking“

“Our server Albert L was amazing. We went there for a birthday and he provided us with an amazing experience and made the birthday girl and the entire party feel special. If you get him as a server you are sure to have a beautiful experience and if the experience wasn’t enough the food and atmosphere were just as amazing.“

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

“Never got food I didn't enjoy! Everything was delicious esp the tres leches & the empanaditas! Perfect for the holidays or any celebration! The owner and her team strive for perfection in all aspects of the culinary arts! Casa Cubana has been catering my sons' teams banquet dinners for years and everyone gives them rave reviews. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“I recommend it to you. My favorite is the churrasco and a glass of Portuguese wine. There is a variety. To spend a pleasant time with family or as a couple. The customer service is good… 🥩🍷. te lo recomiendo mi favorito el churrasco y una copa de vino portugues hay variedad. para pasar un rato agradable en familia o en pareja. la atencion al cliente buena … y para soprender a un cumpleañero perfeto🍷“

“This place is definitely a bang for your buck! A lot of food for the normal entree price in NYC. The place is small and kind of tucked away in the East Village. The service was quick and tables were intimate. Pretty casual joint as well. Food is good! I recommend to the restaurant for their chips though either swap them for plantain chips or homemade to tortilla chips to go with their guacamole! Everything else was fresh“

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

“Went for Restaurant Week to try a few things out and celebrate my birthday. Everything was fantastic. Standouts were the empanadas and the ropa vieja noodles. The mojitos were delicious although a little small, however, they were reasonably priced. Service was great, we never felt rushed. Will definitely be back and already recommended to friends!“

“Other reviews and my desire for a good caiparinha drew us here. I was so happy with the atmosphere, vibe and service. I was not disappointed with the caiparinha either and will definitely come back for the food and more drinks. Aaron the bartender was a pleasure to meet, answering out drink and cultural questions.“

“Great staff…. service … parking ..music …atmosphere snd incredible menu. I highly recommend this restaurant to friends and family. My reservation for 4 people started right on time ….. no waiting .“

“Good home cooked latino food ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 😊🥰“

“Pablo and his amazing staff could not have produced a better more delicious lunch. Their friendly smiles, love for what they do and how they went out of their way to put smiles on my mom's face say's it all. We cannot wait to come back!“

“Incredible Cubano, excellent frozen margarita 👍🏻“

“Came here on NYE for a delicious dinner with my wife. The waiter recommended the picanha. It was delicious. We had some apps and a salad too. It was all terrific. We brought our own wine. They even gave us a dessert on the house. My wife is Dominican, so she was speak Spanish with the staff and other customers. Very inviting and friendly place. Will definitely return. Please folks , help keep these gems alive. Don’t go to chains..“

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

“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“

“I've been craving a good Cuban sandwich and finally stopped at Montunos. The Cuban sandwich was fresh and delicious! They add garlic butter to the sandwich, which enhanced the flavor. The pernil is well-seasoned, moist, and tender. I would definitely go back just for this sandwich. My husband had fried chicken from the buffet with yuca con mojo and tostones. My only minor suggestion would be to offer a mojo with the tostones, but aside from that, the food and service were excellent.“

“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‼️👍🏻“

“Nice eating experience!! This is truly a wonderful experience, super friendly and family oriented place“

“I had an excellent experience at this restaurant. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was very pleasant, and Miguel’s service was outstanding. He was super attentive, kind, and professional at all times, and he made us feel very well taken care of from the moment we arrived. It’s a pleasure to meet people like him. I will definitely come back!“

“This was my first visit here. (I previously have had delivery on a couple of occasions and the food was very good.) Despite being a little early for our reservations and the place being very busy, we were seated immediately at the outdoor table I had requested in the reservations. The cocktails didn't take that long to be brought and were very good. The fried calamari appetizer (tapas) was outstanding- each piece perfectly crispy and not one piece was chewy. The sweet chili sauce worked very well with a mild heat in the middle of the tongue surrounded by sweetness. My wife enjoyed the jamon croquettas despite it lacking any sort of aioli or dipping sauce. My main dish of the deep fried Red Snapper was perfectly crisp on the outside, moist and tender inside and all around tasty. My wife enjoyed her fired cheese mofongo. Dessert of guava cheesecake and also the flan were good as well. Overall, service was good and the maitre d' walks around checking in on guests which is a nice touch. Overall, I thought the prices were very reasonable and you get nice size portions making it a good value. Just be aware that inside is fairly large and can get loud. Their windows are thick and outside you only really hear it when the door opens. Considering we live across the street and stare at the place from our windows, we'll be back, likely often.“

“Good food, good menu and good waitress“

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

“We went here to celebrate my mom’s 62nd birthday and we had an amazing time. The waiter and owner were very welcoming and professional. The place was very clean and vibrant, the music was enjoyable, the food was delicious, and the drinks were on point. We are definitely coming back.“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“The Tortillas with Cafe con leche. Great people that work there. They are very nice to you. Love it 😊“

“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.“

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

“The food was extremely flavorful and delicious. If I am back in NJ I will come back for sure.
As a vegetarian I got served a meal that had meat in it. It was a large order so I don't fully fault them. I'm sure if I had ordered on my own they would have said something.

Vegetarian options: Not much for vegetarians and my rice ended up having meat in it. It was a large order so I don't fully blame them“

“Deliciosa comida y excelente atención“

“The service makes you feel special—very warm and attentive, as if you’re a guest in someone’s home. The prices cannot be beat. I had a croqueta de jamón and found it bland. The cortado was heavier on milk than typical. The atmosphere was diner-like— not fancy, old school, embracing a theme of indigenous America including a very interesting & unique mural. Although I didn’t love what I ate on my first visit, I will come back if I’m in the area for a different meal.“

“Family friendly atmosphere“

“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.“

“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.“

“Very nice place. Very good people and the food delicious ?

Kid-friendliness: Have good for kids. And the special chair for them

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair access. Inside is not to much space for the mobility of them.“

“$7 “world famous corn” was good. I liked the cheese thing. Very messy tho lol.

They never asked if I wanted to go or to stay, they gave it to me in ‘to go’ packaging and told me I can’t sit inside, which was weird. Especially for an empty restaurant on a Wednesday at 3pm.

They seem to have a comprehensive interesting menu and I would visit again“

“Everything there is good the ppl that works once you go there like I do are like family ,the food is amazing,l over everything....“

“My meal at Sophie's Cuban Cuisine - Flatiron showed why people recommend it. The serving sizes here are enormous. Their service creates return customers. This spot maintains fashionable elements and tidiness. This spot earns exceptional recognition.“

“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.“
