Good vibe and reasonable prices. Overwhelming crowded and loud but fairly good quality food. Very unorganized and poor service. They could spice up the food a bit more. Great Passion fruit mojito. Restrooms was not clean and out of hand soap.

Cuban Pete's - we enjoyed the outside seating. Mojitos didn't have alcohol in them, but we're tasty. Ceviche was good, but the plantain chips need to be bigger to scoop up the ceviche. Chicken lollipops was bland and needed the onion vinaigrette on it to make it a tad better. Shrimp dish was a disappointment. The fried fish was very good. We would come here again.

Decided to treat my hubby to red snapper for Father’s Day and Cuban Pete’s did not disappoint! Had the Coconut Shrimp with mango salsa & cheese coconut rice, delicious! Great music and atmosphere, I suggest sitting in their inner courtyard. Also it’s BYOB so bring wine, rum, or tequila to add to fruit or sangria mixers by the pitcher. The owners are lovely and hospitable. I will definitely be returning and bringing friends!

Cuban Pete’s offer an extensive menu of delicious Latin cuisine. It’s a fairly huge place and has both indoor & outdoor seatings. The place is clean, lively, and decorated with vibrant colors that gives you the feeling of an island flair. It’s a great place for gatherings or if you just want to hang out and enjoy a meal. They have choices of mixed virgin drinks, bring a bottle (BYOB) and you’re good to go. The staff are very attentive and friendly. Thank you so much Sebastian J., for the excellent service you provided. I will definitely be back.

Wow, this is some of the best Cuban food I’ve ever had. Oxtail is to die for and the Cuban style roast pork is outstanding. I highly recommend eating there and I will definitely go back.

Wonderful mix of culture and fine food. Excellent atmosphere, music, nice vibes and great people. Waiters were very kind and polite. Had such a great time. Definitely 5 stars. During our dinner, a band came out with drums and started pounding away. Awesome fun. The food was even better! Calamari is absolutely spectacular!! The Churasco steak with mango sauce, coconut rice and sweet potatoe were a great choice! Simply DELICIOUS ?....Definitely recommend trying Cuban Pete's if you've never tried it. Enjoy it and thank me later ? Five ⭐'s

Nice space and ambience. You don't feel like your in NJ. The patio seating in the summer is the way to go. Pretty good main courses - oxtail and churrasco. Dessert and empanadas were decent but nothing like the main course. Service was attentive. Byob is a nice bonus.

Great experience! It almost feels like you are going to another country here. Such a great environment, the food is fantastic, and many more great things about this place. 5 stars and higher if I could.Features: There doesn't seem to be any COVID practices here.

Great food. We have been to this restaurant many times, and are never disappointed. They have a great selection of delicious entrees and tasty appetizers. Today we got baby back ribs and vegetable paella. It was really good. The rice and beans that came with the ribs had just the right amount of spices and was moist and tender. We both filled up and still have enough for another meal!

I came here with my parents before a concert at the theater down the block. With how crowded the restaurant was, it's incredible we were seated right away and got our food as quickly as we did. Not only is the service phenomenal, but the food is great as well. I got the Cubano, which was sized reasonably for the price. The sandwich came with what I think we're homemade plantain chips. It's clear that the restaurant is popular, and with good reason. My only gripe was how loud it was, but that's only expected when a restaurant is crowded. There's a bunch of outdoor seating and a seemingly infinite amount of indoor seating to accommodate the popularity. Overall, I'd definitely come back next time I go to a concert in the area.
