Traditional Cuban Fare. Good music at an audible volume not blasting like in other Latino joints. Haven't had Ropa Vieja as good as theirs. The flan was the best I've ever tasted.

Paella Thursday!! It’s not so great my husband and I was disappointed.. I was there a few weeks ago on a Thursday.. paella supposed to be all seafood they filled it up with chorizo and chicken not much seafood??

Their stuffed french toast is a must try !!! Looks and tastes sooo good !!

I rarely leave reviews, but I do when it’s exceptionally amazing or terrible. This is unfortunately the later due to the service, the ambiance, the food. I wanted to try this place for several months, but will never be returning. Service - The host was unpleasant, we were seated next to the service table where they were drying dishes, our waiter Marcos was beyond appalling, we waited 15 mins for water, I had to flag another waitress to process my credit card because Marcos was talking it up with another table for 10 minutes after dropping off the check. Ambiance - They shouldn’t ever seat individuals at the table we were placed at, was prickly when 75% of the tables are empty at 6pm, the room was so hot that we sweated and it was cooler outside on this 91* day, oh and they decided to dry dishes and silverware next to our table. The food - Was ok but not worth the price, I had more gristle on my cut of meat than actual meat. I wish I could give zero stars. I had planned to talk to the manager but gave up after waiting at the host stand for 5 mins with no one there.

delicous, ate so much i got a little sick, but id do it again

Felt warm, inviting, and the banana pancakes was sooo good. Will definitely go back evey time I come to Jersey❤

Lov there food...great Cuban food?

Delicious papa rellena - and huge! The potatoes and meat were very well seasoned. Really liked the sandwiches though wish they were a little juicier…but good taste overall. Need to come back for their main entrees next time.

Excellent food. The food is fantastic, roasted chicken and ropa vieja are to die for. Staff is cordial, and attentive. The place is clean, with a great atmosphere.

A cute and cozy Cuban place to enjoy delicious dinner. They have daily special at great price. I ordered one of the special flank steak entree that comes with two sides, I chose rice and maduros (fried sweet plantains) Meat is a bit salty but tasty. Good portion. Love the maduros especially!
