La Isla

Delicious. It's a really small restaurant , so I gather this is why it isn't as popular. BYOB and try the shrimp in garlic sauce . With your dessert be sure to have a warm tasty cup of Cuban coffee ????

Gets super packed on Sunday. The churrasco w/eggs, rice , & beans were amazing. So was the stuffed French toast . Everything tasted amazing!! Idk if it helps but I am Cuban so the flavor is all there ????

Their palomilla steak was on point along with their cheesecake surrounded with mango purée and coconut shavings.The crust was very different; sweet like caramel which worked very well w/the cheesecake

I bring everyone to have the Stuffed French Toast . Their sandwiches are also great and sweet plantains are always a must for me.

Hands down best restaurant in Hoboken, for better Cuban food that that in Cuba! Be prepared for the wait but it's worth it. Also, the best Brunch i have ever had!! Can't give a higher review.

The papa rellana was very good. You could tell the mashed potatoes were from real potatoes and not the dehydrated kind. The beef inside was also well seasoned. Ropa vieja also has an authentic taste

The food here is absolutely amazing! And it's BYOB , which makes it even better! Well worth the wait. Everything I've ever had has been a slam dunk! Not very good for groups more than 4 though.

Save this tip for Fridays. The Pescado al Ajillo (Tilapia in Garlic Sauce ) is amazing. You will leave nothing left on your place. Its on the daily special . Get it. You'll be happy that you did.

I found the service second to none, the Food is fresh as can be, the Cuban sandwiches remind me of the ones made in Union City on Bergenline Ave for the ones who remember the The Broadway Sandwich Shp

Cafe con leche. Period. My favorite spot for some fresh brewed coffee at the bar . Cozy spot for a quick pit stop to recovery from the night before. Friendly service .

Authentic Cuban food , hands down. In a hurry? Grab a pressed sandwich to go. Our fave? Sandwich de Pollo . Those crispy potato sticks add just the right crunch. And save room for dessert . The flan is t

Cheap and tasty. I got the "el cubano " pressed sandwich . Pulled pork , ham , pickles , and a light garlic sauce to bring out the favors. The only thing that would have made it better - extra pickles !

Best brunch in Hoboken and Byob (head to Sparrow a few doors down first)! You can't do wrong with anything on the menu, but at least get a French toast to split.

The wait is long. I waited about 30 mins on a Saturday night but it's definitely worth the wait. Order the fried yucca (best I've ever had it) and skirt steak !

From the outside you wouldn't know this place has some of the best food in Hoboken ! I was pleasantly surprised & cleaned my plates. The plantains are delicious and the the beef empanada is amazing!

Best Cuban food I've had outside of my home state of Florida. Try the morro, skirt steak , Cubano...or anything, honestly. Everything is delicious!

The best in Hoboken. definitely go for the daily specials and don't miss out on brunch . French toast and pancakes will bring you back time after time!

Okay so it may not be Central NJ, but it's still easier to get to than Cuba itself. Everything is amazing here,so get a bunch of appetizers to share - the shrimp ceviche and empanadas are killer!

Grab a classic Cubano sandwich at this cozy Cuban diner . It's on our Super Bowl Fan Guide's list of best cheap eats in Hoboken for Super Bowl week 2014. Read more

Get the Balsero. But you might want to split it. Perfect amount of spice and lovely mix of flavors. But boy, a lot of food!

Among best food in Hoboken . Healthy choices available. Very tasty small menu. Gold prices! The place is really small.

Huevos Rancheros with some Chorizo for breakfast . This combo is absolutely delicious.

The lechon asado is to die for! and the Aroze con pollo is very very good! Good to see you can still get fantastic Cuban Food in the North East!

Try the Papa Rellena - AS SEEN ON FOOD NETWORK’S DINERS, DRIVINS & DIVES mashed potato stuffed with ground beef , breaded and fried (via @Foodspotting)

My food came out within minutes of ordering, despite the high volume of customers during busy hours. Seating is limited - be prepare to be seated at the bar . The staff is friendly and so is the price.

Sat outside. Perfect weather, amazing dinner ! Great service always!! Oh and the flan...custardy greatness to die for!!

The Masitas de Puerco (fried pork morsels) is delicious with black beans & rice . Available on Mondays & Thursdays.

Loved the churrasco , it came with rice and beans. Their french toast is really good too.

The best Cuban restaurant I've had. The black beans , chicken and garlic fried or boiled yuca is to die for!

The whole menu is slammin', the service is on point!!!! BYOB is Optimus prime.

Omar's Stuffed French Toast ... issssssss aight :rolling eyes:

Go with someone and split the egg sandwich & the stuffed French toast . 2 if the best things on the menu.

Amazing Cuban food . It's easy to miss when walking by, but you must give this spot for dinner a try!

Known for being on the food network but all their food is amazing. Try everything ;) oh the staff is lovely

Best Cuban Food north of Havana. Possibly best coffee in New York. Definitely top five brunches in America.

Roasted chicken is amazing. Maduros are made to perfection. Not a bad thing on the menu

Don't be afraid to come here just for the key lime pie .

Get the guava stuffed French toast and pan con bistec . Delish!!

Best Cuban food , even better than what i had in Cuba!

Sit at the counter and order a lunch special with yellow rice and red beans . Finish up with a latte . Hard to find a better meal in Hoboken.

Fresh toast with roasted almonds and the choice of fruit is just awesome

Best Cuban in Hoboken. Can't beat a Cubano and cafe con leche

The food is so good they can get away with the slow and sometimes inconsiderate service!

Try the Tasajo Con Boniato - Braised dry-cured shredded beef with cuban sweet potato and rice

The best cuban food out of Havana. The deserts and cafe con leche are a great combination.

Try the tostones to start! It's made with garlic ! Deeeelish!

Great authentic Cuban shop. Very friendly staff .

Coffee here is fantastic! More of a breakfast place for me than dinner .

Try the spinch, cheese and plantain omelet . The best omelet ever! Put some hot sauce .

spinach mango beet avocado salad was great. Tostones were too hard and oily - it was better when we came last year. Cheese on sandwich was meh
