Reviews for The Cuban in Hoboken, NJ
Nice restaurant, with fast and friendly service, strong drinks and good food. Guacamole was so good and refreshing, I didn't... want it to be finished. Tamales was great too. Skirt steak was so tender that you could cut it with a butter knife. Read more
Great place, really cool decor in dark reds, great music and amazing ambiance. Wonderful service. Perfect for groups of friends.... We were a party of 3 and we loved every moment. I ordered Ropa Vieja, loved every bite. Read more
We took a chance and dined here for dinner on Sunday based on the 4 star plus review. It was an overall good experience but... nothing exceptional. The staff was mediocre and could be a bit more welcoming. We dined outside which was nice given theaccommodating weather. The outdoor ambiance was upbeat but it’s on the sidewalk so there are passerbys while you dine. Foodand drinks were also mediocre. The salmon was a bit over cooked. However, the sweet potatoes mash which accompanied the salmonwas tasty. The paella was nothing special and the rice or grain that it came with was not enjoyable at all. We left most of itin the plate. The chicken criollo was tasty and the best of the three meals. Mojitos were also basic and nothing exceptional. This restaurant has potential with a few minor adjustments. Our waiter was MIA after taking the order. We were offeredadditional chips for the guacamole and ceviche. There was no follow-up to this until we reminded the bus boy. Guacamole andceviche can use some more flavor as well. Ceviche is a bit sweet as well. Read more
Cute, lowkey restaurant with ample indoor seating and a bit of space for outdoor dining. Service was great. I’d recommend the... chicken empanadas and the sangria (half pitcher is a great deal). Great for solo dining! Also washrooms are clean :) Read more
Second time visiting here and i enjoyed the food yet again! If i remember right, i got the Churrasco before and it was... delicious! This time I tried the Vaca frita and it was flavorful and filling! It was served with white rice and a side of blackbeans which you can drizzle on (the rice i mean). We got the Caesar salad with chicken on the side and the Pollo Criollo. ThatPollo was sooo good! There was really good flavor on the meat and paired with fried rice..mmmm! It is a bit pricey but since wequite enjoyed the food and even the service, we'll let that one slide for now lol Read more
Did outdoor dining here in early fall and everything we had tasted really good! We ordered a whole bunch of appetizers plus a... paella and although busy, we had good service and enjoyed our experience. Read more

This place is so sad.We ordered bottle of wine they served extremely warm around 90-100Fahrenheit and the mussels for appetizers... which tasted old . I already knew how gross our MEDIUM RARE steak will be . Please see the attached. Do yourself a favor and donot eat here . The waiters attitude was even worse than the food . I hope it’s helpful Read more
