I have neighbors (one of which is cuban) that recommended this place to us. The place is fairly large and the staff is very friend and was able to recommend us what to try. We had the Camaron al Ajillo which was similar to a scampi type of sauce. It was delicious. I had the El Cubano sandwich with fries. The food was very tasteful and enjoyed my experience. There was music playing that might be a little loud for some, but was fine with me. They also offer 2 private spaces for rent as well. The owner toured us the space since be might consider holding an event at one of their spaces in the future. If you're around the area, sit down and grab a bite.

My colleagues were telling me about this place as I've never had Cuban food and wow.... I wish I lived up there so I could go often! The flavors were amazing! The steak was cooked perfectly, yuca fries were nice and crispy and the watercress salad with pickled onions was spot on. The pina coladas were strong, with some toasted coconut on top which enhanced the flavor. Churros finished out my meal which were filled with chocolate and came with a blackberry dipping sauce. Our waiter (I'm sorry, I forgot his name!) was so sweet and attentive. You could tell the staff really enjoy their job and are knowledgeable about the food they serve. I highly recommend this place! From the outside it looks small, but once inside, there's a beautiful bar area with multiple areas to sit on the backside.

Ordered: Empanaditas Trio (~$15): beef, chicken, and spinach empanadas Vaca Frita (~$29): twice-cooked crispy skirt steak, tomato escabeche, avocado, served with white rice, black beans, and garlic mojo Maduros (~$7) Aya's take: We were in the area and decided to swing by for Cuban food. We arrived around 2:30pm on a Saturday and were seated right away. The Empanaditas Trio was delicious and great for sharing. I loved the flour tortilla exterior which was filled to the brim with beef, chicken, and spinach, respectively. I recently discovered the Vaca Frita at a different Cuban spot and highly recommend trying it! The skirt steak is crispy, tender, and citrusy from the lime. I like that the dish came with white rice, black beans, and avocado making it feel like a more well-rounded dish. The Maduros were perfectly cooked and gave my meal a nice sweet and soft texture. I couldn't even finish my meal; it made for great leftovers the next day! Service was lacking, but it was a good try!

The paella was delicious, my only comment is that the muscles were basically disintegrated. The pork in the el Classico Plato was tender and juicy Would pass on the white sangria, a half pitcher filled two glasses up to the top.

The Cuban has become my favorite Hoboken spot. The drinks are great and so is the food. I personally love the layout and design of the restaurant it offers a lot of options for an intimate evening. The churrasco is my favorite so tender and the yuca it comes with is delicious. Also I highly recommend any of their desserts a personal favorite is their flan. This is the second time we've come to celebrate my birthday here with friends and every time it is always perfect from the time we arrive to the time we leave. Service is patient and helpful and always goes the extra mile for whatever needs or questions you have.
