Three of us had brunch here last Sunday. They have live music which is a big plus. There are two parts to the restaurant, the front part by the bar is more casual, at the back there are chandeliers! We sat at the front to be by the music. The 5$ Brunch Mimosas are great really well made with a... More

After reading a review in the NY Times, we decided this would be a good place to try. My husband and I went with two other couples. We're all good friends and don't get to go out together too often so were looking forward to a night of good food and conversation. The drinks were wonderful, the food fine but,... More

A pricey restaurant with a kitsch decor! The service was really too long. Far from real authentic Cuban food but they're trying hard! Really disappointing!

We could not decide where to eat in Hoboken and chose this restaurant. Soooo glad we did, delicious food and drinks. We had the mango mojito and pisco sour, the pork shank and the beef dish, all where very tasty. Do yourself a favor and go here but by the looks (and sounds) of it,it is a very popular restaurant.

I have so many excellent ratings for this restaurant. From the food, to the decor, to the band that was playing, the service and the sangria. I was so pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. This is now one of go to places for an awesome night out. Recommendations: if you want to have a conversation, don't sit up front when... More

I went there with a bunch of girl friends and we had a great time. The guacamole was delicious and we all enjoyed our meals. The sangria was good but not the best I've had. The environment was decorated very lively. The only downsides were that it was very loud in there. We had to shout to hear each other.... More

Food was typical Cuban sandwich shop fare. Empanadas, steak, ropa vieja, were all tasty. Service was slow and got some of the details of our order wrong. Even though we were one of only two tables occupied, servers never came back to see how we were doing, I had to go inside and find someone to get our server several... More

I was invited to a spirited workshop given by FemCity Hoboken that took place in the Cuban Restaurant and Bar. The workshop was a rum pairing by Brugal. It is an internationally known rum and we learned great information about rum from cutting the sugar cane, to the two types of barrels, the distillery process, the difference in each brand,... More

Came in and had a drink at the bar and appetizer. Drink (Cuban colada) was very good appetizer (ropa vieja empanadita) was awesome. After sitting at the bar drinking and eating I decided to have dinner so I moved to the back and ordered a bistec empanizado (breaded steak) with rice and platano maduro. The steak was a nice big...
