Cuban Restaurants near Rutherford, NJ

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

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great food!!! And drinks 🍹“

“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🍷“

“Incredible food, and great service. Our server, Jay, gave great recommendations (and even a little history of the restaurants roots) and everything was perfectly timed. The food was amazing, and the presentation was on point. We started with the beef empanadas, which are a must try. For our mains, we went with the skirt steak and short ribs, which were both phenomenal. 10/10, you can’t go wrong with this place.“

“Authentic, good food . This was our first visit and won’t be the last!“

“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.“

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

“Wait staff is excellent. Friendly, quick, not overwhelming. Drinks were good--and price during happy hour is great.

Food was good to excellent. The lobster noodles was really pretty good. Lots of lobster. Noodles a tad overcooked.“

“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 👍🏻“

“I know it’s been around but still a favorite ❤️Very trendy & modern. It’s valet service to the ambiance to the food music wait and drinks services. Pricey but worth it..we enjoyed paying for this level of service....The woman that manages the beautiful bathroom got my tip lol.Ty..so beautiful“

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

“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.“

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

“This restaurant is loud in a good way. I would recommend you come here if you're looking to spend time with friends laughing and enjoying a couple drinks. If you're looking for a place to have a quiet dinner and a conversation this is not the place.“

“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.“

“Great experience here! Would recommend. :)“

“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 home cooked latino food ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 😊🥰“

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!?“

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

“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.“

“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 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.“

“Excelente Servicios y Buen Ambiente“

“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 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“

“I want to give Havana Central 5 stars, but 2 things hold it back! Let's start with the good. The atmosphere is really good. It's close quarters but it's fine. The food is excellent! We started with empanadas and chicken and shrimp were our favorite. For meals we got the Churrasco A La Parilla, the Arroz Con Camarones, and the Vaca Frita. All of our food was really good and perfectly cooked. The Arroz only has 6, maybe 7 shrimp, so if you're really hungry go with something different. The rice and beans are top notch! Now for the 2 things keeping it from 5 stars, the live music and service (which is not the servers fault). The live music is loud, very loud. You can't have a conversation if that's what you do at dinner. I know it's part of the atmosphere, but it can be brought down a few notches to at least be able to talk. Service is slow because servers are over sat. They have way too many tables for each of them and food arriving also take a minute. Both of these are easily fixable in my opinion to make this a great place all around! We will come back and not let it stop us.“

“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....“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Deliciosa comida y excelente atención“

“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“
