Cuban Restaurants near Bronx, NY

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

“love the drinks and the vibe 😌 it always a great place..“

“Kind of a soft five for this one because we actually didn't get around to trying any of the food but everything else was amazing. Was here with David and Lukas on a Wednesday afternoon from about 3PM to around 8PM and we had 6 coronas each while watching the world cup. The beers came out to around just over $4 per bottle. Would come back here many times over“

“Music is always good as well as food and drinks and staff love to go there for happy hour on fridays.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Incredible Cubano, excellent frozen margarita 👍🏻“

“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.“

“Always a good time at Havana Central. Good food, good drinks, good vibe. The servers are always pleasant. Thank you Natalia! This time I remembered my servers name. Lol But that's obvious. My cousin fly in to see a broadway show and of course I had to take her to Havana Central. I am still adjusting to the closure of the Havana Central location in Garden City. Would really love it if they would consider opening another location in the Queens, Long Island area.“

“Here’s a polished, clearer, and more composed version of your review while keeping the strong sentiment and message intact:

This place is nowhere near authentic Cuban cuisine — not even if it were sitting right next to Havana. What they call Ropa Vieja is basically just beef stew. There’s absolutely no understanding of Cuban culture, flavors, or hospitality, which makes sense considering they are not Cuban.

When you ask for something as basic and traditional as moro to go with Ropa Vieja, they act like it’s an unusual request and explain that it’s not included. Their “solution” is to mix watered‑down black beans with white rice and whatever else they decide to throw in. It’s not even close.

The décor doesn’t help either. A few cigar boxes here and there, but most of it is Santa Muerte imagery — so, as you can guess, not Cuban at all. I don’t fault anyone for trying, but don’t advertise something you clearly don’t know how to make. Even something as simple and essential as hoja de laurel — bay leaf — is missing entirely, both in sight and in flavor.

Overall, it feels like a place run by young people without the cultural background or culinary knowledge to deliver what they’re selling.

If you want, I can also rewrite it in a more formal, humorous, or sharper tone.“

“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“

“I've mixed feelings about this place. Everything was good except the food portions. The prices we paid for the amount of food was unacceptable. I ordered Chinese noodles with meat. There were more noodles than meat. I felt like I was fishing for it. It was like a spoon size on it. My friends ordered steak. The portion was smaller than a chicken breast.
Not sure if I would recommend this place. They're are other places that serve good food with good prices and better portions“

“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!“

“Came in for lunch after a very busy morning at work, and, if I'm being honest, with a minor hangover. Everything about this place fixed me right up. I felt like I went to lunch at my tia's. The ropa veja I got tasted exactly like the one I grew up eating. Comfort food and comforting vibes.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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! ❤“

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

“This is a very busy restaurant, but they are efficient and we did not need to wait long for a table. The decor is nice. Large paper palm trees in the corners and an assortment of masks on the walls.

The menu looks great for non-vegetarians. Not so great for vegetarians. The paella especially looked good. One of the members in our party had chicken and shrimp. The presentation looked impressive.“

“Good food, good menu and good waitress“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Everything is delicious!❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“My family and I ordered from Wonder 2 days ago. The ordering experience was very easy. The driver got to out house within the time we were told. Everything in our order was correct. It was fresh, hot, and delicious. A great experience!“

“The Pine Restaurant & Bar of Queens was a perfect place to celebrate Mother's Day 2018. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. Our Server “Reggie” was a true professional with a smile the entire time we were there. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by a friendly woman named Ivette who seated my family of seven people without a wait. The team work at this restaurant was outstanding. I wish to extend my gratitude to all the people at the Pine Restaurant for making my Mother's Day very special. Thank you everyone!!!“

“I was a seeking a more elevated Chinese food experience. My last few fast food Chinese fast food experiences at other locations were scary. I believe I got exactly what I was looking for. The chicken pepper, onion, w/black bean sauce was skillfully prepared with good quality chicken and not the typical freeze dried trash, and the dish was savory and delicious. The wonton soup was also notable and I enjoyed the thin delicate tasty wontons. Even the rice was clearly higher quality. The modestly higher price was absolutely worth it to me for the quality of this Chinese food and I look forward to returning..“

“A good lunch choice with good flavor. And, so close to Grand Central.

I got the quarter chicken with Garlic Yuca. Their green sauce is so flavorful.

It so happened that my ordering app had an error and ordered 3 of the lunches and they were good enough to cancel the other 2.

Nice service!“

“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!!“

“OMG I was looking for parking outside of Sophie's, to go to a hospital appointment & I was like omg a cuban restaurant I had been craving a good Cubano Sandwich for about 5 yrs so I downloaded app & ordered.. by the time it was ready I found a spot.. it was very reasonably priced especially for Manhattan but most of all it was AMAZING... im literally waiting for my next appointment great food , clean environment & nice people“

“Comfortable, attractive date night Cuban place with good food, some dolled up entrees like Chicharron with rice and beans (more Southern Fried Chicken than Cuban), nice Maduro banana stuffed with codfish stew, good Yuca fries with uninteresting salsa, many typical dishes. Very attentive staff, friendly crowd loud loud music inside and a semi-rowdy street scene outside. Food good enough to go back!“

“Every time I go to this location it feels like I'm going to my cousin's house! The workers are so friendly and I go so often that it seems they all know my name now lol. I'm just sad Wonder removed my favorite meal from the menu 😩 I will be reaching out to corporate because how dare they!? Lol The zesty Chicken bowl from Yasas is absolute GOLD in the form of food!“

“Great place to enjoy food with co-workers, friends and family, profesional and friendly service, they have live music, went with my gilr friends this past saturday and had a very good time, can't wait to go back, congrats to the whole staff!!!!“

“the food was so good tasty and fast!! the pork was so tender and deliciois!“

“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.“

“Absolutely wonderful customer service from all staff. The food is delicious!! By far, the BEST Cuban sandwich that I have ever eaten.“

“This is a local Chinese/Peruvian food restaurant that gives new meaning to Chinese food! This fusion of flavors is amazing! I’ve had the steak with tostones, their chicharrón de pollo & many other delectable dishes. They also have a nice bar & make excellent Pisco sours which I can’t find in too many places! I live in Rockland County & the hubby & I take the trip about monthly just to eat here! Nothing fancy about the restaurant but definitely good eats! Highly recommend! The hubby &!I will definitely be back! 😋😋😋“

“I wish I could rate it more than 5 stars. The food tasted like heaven on earth I had the homemade beef empanadas and it was amazing. They gave my friend extra flan and I had one and it was the best thing I had ever had. The service was also very fast and great it did not take long to get the food and everyone was friendly. The atmosphere was ver calm and clean and it was just a amazing experience. If you go to NYC you must try here.“

“Great food, though limited options, especially depending on your selection. For instance, I ordered a small lunch and couldn't get the salmon, which didn't make sense to me. Additionally, you must order at the counter, no table service. Large clean atmosphere that's an adult version of a school-like cafeteria. Best to order an go unless you feel like staying.“

“Awesome!!! Great food!!!!“

“Another fantastic lunch at Sophie's Cuban in Tribeca! The baked chicken entree is my favorite - nicely seasoned, tender, and flavorful. It comes with generous portions of sides that complement the dish beautifully. The casual, welcoming atmosphere makes it a great spot for a quick lunch or leisurely meal. Service is always friendly and efficient. Sophie's continues to deliver authentic Cuban flavors that keep me coming back. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!“

“Best of la mas rica.love yes paguetti delicioso“
