I’ve loved Cena for years but more recently it’s not as good. Went to breakfast there twice in last 2-3 months and the coffee they served was Instant Coffee! And tasted like it. I asked and they confirmed it was instant coffee said their machine is broken. Charging $5 for instant coffee? No - you just can’t do that.

We had such a wonderful dining experience at Cena Brooklyn! The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff made sure we felt taken care of throughout the evening. A perfect spot for anyone looking for great food in Brooklyn. The music playing in the background was a welcomed addition. We Highly recommend!

Nice but expensive authentic Mexican fare with incredible slow and strange service. They brought us the wrong food both times we went. The steak in the tacos is like rubber but the rest of the food was great.
