Went there to grab food and go when it came time to pay a different lady not even tending to my order raised my total for unforseen reasons charged me more than whats posted on their menu

From the moment you enter the door, it’s beyond clear they don’t want anyone who isn’t Hispanic in the establishment. Sad and disgusting. Won’t be back.

I normally pickup my order and never an issue, food is delicious however, today we sat in to celebrate my mother’s 77th Bday and to my surprise the food wasn’t as good as i expected. The mofongo was dry even w/sauce and my mom’s salmon was overcooked. The server was pleasant so my 20%tip was for her service and I did mention the salmon was dry and she said she’d let the cook know but no discount was offered, although I’m sure it’s not her call to do that I had liked if it was offered.

I loved the old Cibao the food was amazing and the setup was great. Now the setup is ridiculous less room to eat. And the food is horrible. I ordered food on 5/23/25. I got my usual rhe pernil sandwich and an order of chicharrón. I ended up getting food poisoning that day. The pernil did not taste the same and rh chicharrón tasted old and greesy. I ended going to the hospital for the food poisoning. I will never buy from there again. It's a shame they used to be good.

Cibao has my whole heart. It doesn’t get any more authentic than this! Whenever I need some comfort food I order from Cibao. Reminds me of growing up and being in PR.

Ordered a Cubano today, and this is what I got for $11.00. The bread was not toasted like usual. And hardly any meat this time. They are getting very stingy with filling the bread up. Used to be a lot better. Next time I will go across the street to Portal Latino..

Don’t Waste your money at this place. Food was cold and nasty.
