Is a place for joy, nice music nice and the staff is kind and authentic. They don't pretend that they want to serve you for a tip, they are helpful by a real sence of service. Congratulations.

We came to The Cuban in Union City to celebrate my stepfather’s birthday, and everything about the experience was amazing! Our server, Asiria, was absolutely wonderful — warm, attentive, and thoughtful with every little detail. She really made us feel welcome.

The team even surprised us with a birthday song and a flan, which was such a sweet and memorable touch! The food and drinks were absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was vibrant with great music...

We absolutely enjoy the Restaurant and Bar. We recently brought friends of ours to the Restaurant. They raved about the food and atmosphere. They hadn't enjoyed Cuban food in so long. The husband is Cuban.
Michael welcome made us feel right at home. We have been there a total of three times in the last month. Can;t wait to go again. BTW, Sangria and Mojito out of this world.
