Omg, and you have but no choice to start a review with Omg, when slather out after gorging on whatever tongue dancing delight you decided to devour. For me, it's the oxtail that'll leave your stomach begging your fingers to continue to lick the tantalizing sauce from under the nails. Add their homemade hot sauce and it's on, baby! I don't just stop at the oxtail their Cuban sandwiches will go down and samy lore history, every portion in this place is more than sizable, you will get your moneys worth. Fairly clean with plenty of outside street parking or a lot right across the way to pay a minimal fee. I'm on table stool sits with about seven or eight seats and 9 or 10 booths so, plenty of seating. Primarily spanish-speaking as expected but the service is very friendly and make sure you get a Cuban coffee for the road. My highest recommendation.

I ordered for the very first time here tonight. It was my night off to cook, so I used a gift card I received for Christmas. The total amount was over $50. I got two orders of "ROPA VIEJA" and a side order of boiled yucca. The ropa vieja was tough and not shredded like ropa vieja usually is. I had to cook my mom a different meal because of this- so much for a night off of cooking. When I called the restaurant, they couldn't find a manager, I guess, but the lady told me to call tomorrow because she couldn't find the cook. She mentioned the cook was new, which doesn't surprise me. What a sad representation of ropa vieja which is usually so thinly shredded that it melts in your mouth. Not this meat- it was hard and there wasn't much sauce. It looks NOTHING like the pictures. Worse part is I ordered two dinners of this. I will NEVER order from here again, and I want a manager to come eat this food. If I wasn't twenty minutes away, I would bring them this meal and let them work through the tough hard meat and let me know if this is how they want their restaurant to be remembered. It's a CUBAN cafe- the seasoning wasn't even Cuban-style and it's supposed to cook Cuban food with expertise. I am very annoyed and hungry because I threw it out. One other thing - On Yelp, it even says they substituted the meat for ropa vieja one day when they ran out. I believe this is probably the case here. DO BETTER!!!!!!!P.S> the frozen veggies are terrible....like school carrots....

You guys should've canceled the order rather than give me subpar rendition of this dish. P.S. the frozen veggies are terrible....like school carrots.... And I tried calling before I made these reviews. I find it hard to believe there was absolutely no one that could get on phone w me to discuss this.

The food was tasty, though I found it to be somewhat overpriced. The Cuban sandwich, while delicious, seemed costly at $11, especially since it wasn't particularly large and didn't come with any sides. Surprisingly, similar items might be found at higher-end places for a comparable price. The establishment, a blend of cafe and takeout buffet, provided service that met expectations for its bustling environment. Parking is a challenge in the area due to high demand. The ambiance is average for a cafe in Perth Amboy, neither exceptionally upscale nor rundown, offering a diner-like atmosphere that I enjoyed. The service was satisfactory.

We stop by every couple of months when we’re craving their takeout lunch platters. Inexpensive but delicious homestyle meal with rice, maduros, and protein (pork,chicken, beef). Especially love the oxtails with yellow rice and maduros. The employees are all very helpful and friendly!

Fabulous Cuban food. El lechón es divino! Awesome to run in and bring home delicious food to the family. They always ask for more! I love their black beans and rice. Thankfully they do not use bell peppers! The desserts are amazing. Everyone is friendly and efficient! They always ask to help carry my take out to the car! So very nice!!!Vegetarian options: Go for the black beans and rice!
