Great local spot in Hoboken, must have a reservation if you are going on a weekend evening as they are packed. First off they are BYOB which we did not know but was not an issue. We sat at the bar and ordered the Churrasco Sandwich which had grilled sliced skirt steak, caramelized onions, chimichurri sauce, potato sticks a solid 9/10 and a must try. I ordered the Camarones al Ajillo which was sautéed jumbo shrimp, white wine garlic sauce. For the price of $26 I was expecting more than 4 small shrimp that with needed to search for in the excessive amount of sauce given. The Maduros were okay and unfortunately were not made fresh to order. The yuca was great as it was steamed and not fried. Our service was outstanding and the ambiance is a bit crowded but a cozy feel for a Cuban spot. I would definitely like to come back and try more of their menu.

The food was delicious and beautiful displayed on the plate. It is a small restaurant but a great place. The employees were very friendly and helpful. If we visit this area again we will definitely return to this restaurant.

Laid back cafeteria style Cuban food in downtown Hoboken with delicious food. It's a cafeteria style meaning they prep their food in large quantity Parking can be tricky as it's located on the main street in Hoboken (Washington St.) but not as bad as larger cities. It's small with a bar area seating and about 5-6 small tables. We started with the brussel sprouts which I loved, a bit too oily but they were fried well and tasted yummy, that drizzle of chipotle mayo was delicious! I had the pollo asado with arroz Moro and plátano maduros which was so tasty, a bit on the saltier side but I prefer that over bland. We ended the night with the tres leche that had a nice presentation and good flavor but not my favorite, the cake is a bit on the denser/heavier side. Service was fine; the man helping us was attentive and polite. Overall, nice experience we're definitely coming back to try more!

Thursday night date night at La Isla in Hoboken, NJ is the perfect ending to a busy day. La Isla is one of those places that no matter what you get, you're going to enjoy. Whether it be their famous empanada de guayaba y queso, cubano sándwich, Thursday night paella, or their infamous stuffed guayaba French toast; your mouth will be watering and your belly will be full. Yum! La Isla Restaurant at 104 Washington Street has been an institution in downtown Hoboken since 1970. Check Them Out. You won't be disappointed.

We ordered Cuban sandwiches for lunch on 3/14/24. Could not eat it. The pork had a weird taste and was not cooked with any condiments. No one at work liked the sandwich. It was disappointing, as I insisted and convinced everyone to get lunch there. I don't mind the $16-18 per order, but let it be edible.

Easily my favorite breakfast in Hoboken. They serve up delicious, unpretentious food with proud Cuban flavors. The restaurant is so festive and fun and you can jam to the music while having a nice conversation. I just love the energy here and leave feeling warm and recharged. Would recommend the omelette and the French toast. They butter and toast up a bit of bread for the table which is a nice touch. The pastries always look amazing and I like to get an empanada for the afternoon.
