The…read moreCuban sandwich at Blended Bistro is legitimately the best Cuban sandwich I've had in a LONG time!!! The bread is authentically Cuban, the pork is marinated to perfection and the portions and distribution of ham, swiss, and pickle are perfect! I order it "light on the mustard" because I thought the mustard was a little heavy handed when I first tried it, but this modification makes it perfect for my taste. The yuca is sooo delicious and reminds me of my mom and grandma's cooking. The pastelitos de guayaba are also amazing.

You can tell this is a family-owned place that takes pride in what they do.

Amazing food, great service, highly recommend!…read more I came here on a Monday around 6:30pm for dinner with my dad and we were seated right away. The bar area was pretty busy but there were plenty of tables. I ordered the surf & turf which came out to around $60 (MP due to the lobster tail). My dad ordered the ribeye. Both steaks were perfectly seasoned and cooked to our desired medium rare. We both felt that the quality was really good. I also highly recommend the garlic mashed potatoes. I also ordered the chocolate lava cake for dessert, which comes with vanilla ice cream. Not the best one I've ever tried, but it certainly satisfied my chocolate craving. The servers checked in on us a few times (but not so often that it got annoying). Also, I had asked for my leftovers to-go and then left it on the table when I left, and someone ran out to catch up to us and give me the leftovers I'd forgotten. Really appreciated that!

I arrived and went to the bar to provide my order, which took approximately 15 minutes to be finished for take out. Bar: The service at the bar was fantastic. My first time here ordering for my spouse and I and she explained the full menu, provided water while I was waiting. Patient, attentive. 10/10. No complaints in service. Inside: At 5:30 PM arrival seated areas were empty but the bar was at 50% capacity. I do remember walking at night time and this place is always busy or full. When entering you are greeted by the front lady for reservations. The ambience is fantastic, with great lighting and a structure that is clear where to go for bathroom, bar, back to your seat! The music being played, hispanic and Cuban music brought a great vibe. As someone who worked in Monterrey for over a year, it felt like I was culturally back. 10/10. Great location. Great ambience and lighting. Great music. Fantastic interior design with plenty of spacing Food: Amazing food. One appetizer with bananas I believe was simply outstanding. The braised pork we ate was sooooo tender and well cooked. Only thing, which does not deserve docking a score, is make sure you call or know beforehand if there are large parties or events going on. It is very noisy if that's not your vibe when those events are going on and they happen often here especially on weekends.

We sat outside right on the water with an incredible view of Manhattan. It was a little chilly, but we had jackets and were perfectly comfortable. The inside has a very lively, Miami-style atmosphere, but it was pretty busy with people filming and taking photos, so sitting outside was definitely the right choice for us--it felt much quieter and more relaxed. I'm expecting, so I asked about mocktails and was a little surprised that the options were basically a non-alcoholic piña colada or mojito. For a restaurant at this price point, I would have expected a more interesting mocktail selection. My husband did order a cocktail that he really enjoyed. We started with the lobster and shrimp tacos, which were probably my favorite thing of the night. They were absolutely delicious--I could have eaten five more! That said, $28 for three very small tacos felt a little steep. For my entrée, I had the Camarones al Ajillo ($36). The flavor was great, but there weren't many shrimp and mine were unfortunately a bit overcooked. I also found a hair on my food, which was obviously disappointing. My husband had the Paella Clasico, which was delicious and a much better portion. We also shared the Son Cubano fried rice, and that was AMAZING--another standout of the meal. Overall, you're definitely paying a premium for the beautiful waterfront location and atmosphere. We had some really delicious dishes, but between the portion sizes, pricing and a few issues with my entrée, I don't think the food quality consistently matched the price point. Still, the views are gorgeous and there were enough things we really enjoyed that I'm glad we tried it.

Their food, service and hospitality has been always been five star. So when something is so good why change, just expand. We visit the Huntington location quite often. We start with Pina Coladas and Cuba Libre (rum and coke), for appetizers the chorizo and tamales. While there is an assortment of meats, fish and chicken, our favorite is the ropa veija, tender shredded beef in a wonderful sauce with the best steamed white rice and of course madoros. Another hit of ours is the breaded steak and my new favorite, the broiled flounder. Our next dish will be the paella. Just need to call ahead. The Flan, Tres Leches cake and Cuban coffee is always a good ending. The service is always top notch. Red and white table cloths. A bar area with a separate dining area. You may even be lucky to catch a unique celebration song and dance by one of the staff. Make sure you have your camera ready. And a special thank you to Raul. The last time we were there, I tried a new dish that was good, but not something that enjoyed. Don't you know it, Raul surprised me and sent me home with a serving of Ropa Vieja. Thank you Raul.

The restaurant had a nice interior, fancy bar, lots of arts and Cuban vibes all around. They had booth seating by the window that had good view of Hudson Terrace and I-9. We started our lunch with appetizer sampler that came with empanadas, croquettes, bao bans and potstickers. I liked both the empanadas (beef and chicken), the chicken potstickers were also good. Ham croquettes and the bao buns with shredded beef were average. For entree I ordered the Rabo Encendido (braised oxtail stew). It came with three pieces of bone with plenty of meat on them, on side of rice and beans. I loved the taste of the oxtail and the stew, was flavorful and meat was tender. I also got to try the seafood paella which lacked flavor, rice was so bland. The chicken & waffle's waffle was good but the fried chicken pieces were so basic. I got the mango mojito (non-achohol) that was so tasty, I ordered two of them. Our server was super nice, did an excellent job throughout the lunch. All staff members were friendly. Food came out in short intervals.

Get to try beef/chicken empanadas, chicken baos, pork croquettes, friend chicken dumplings. Ox tail was also blend to me. Overall the food was underwhelming but the service and atmosphere were nice.

They sing happy birthday to you with instruments, making it a great place for a birthday celebrations. My favorite dishes: - empanadas (chicken or guava/cheese), the hot sauce on the side is SO good - pork tamale - garlic shrimp (comes with soft bread for dipping) - pitcher of white passion fruit sangria (way better than getting individual glasses) - skirt steak/churrasco - chicharron de pollo (crispy, juicy chicken bites)

3.5 stars I was in…read morethe mood for a new dinner destination, so we decided to make a reservation at Rumba Cubana's Jersey City location. I had walked by the place in the past and noticed that they had a really nice patio, and I had hoped to sit out there on the beautiful evening, but it was simply too packed when we arrived. Instead, we were taken to a spacious table inside, which still had a great atmosphere with fun music and a general buzz in the air. Our server was nice, but approached us way too quickly to take our order. We rushed to put in our beverage requests, but noted that we would need much more time to study the vast food menu. I ordered some sort of mezcal and passion fruit cocktail, which was very good and not nearly as sweet and full of juice as it looked. I also tried a sip of my companion's Old Fashioned, which used quite a few bourbons, making it very strong. It had a nice cherry sweetness to it, though. When we were finally ready to select our food items, we decided to start with bowls of their "Mama Fela's Chicken Soup". For $4, we were expecting small cups of broth, but the portion was much more generous. The soup was very flavorful and included chunks of spiced chicken on its bone, small cobs of corn, and riced noodles. Though it was enjoyable, it was also very greasy, and you could see the dots of oil throughout the broth. When our server came to clear the plates to make room for our main courses, she did a doubletake to inspect the knife that had been at my place-setting. I had initially thought that the blade had some sort of pattern on it, but she caught the fact that it was actually dirty. When I looked closer, I noticed a shoe print on it, which was so gross. Thankfully, she went to replace it, though I made her also bring me a new fork and napkin, as the two pieces of silverware had been wrapped together in the sheet of cloth. In terms of the entrees, my partner had only positive things to say about his Ropa Vieja, and I concurred that my simply grilled Seabass with olive oil, white wine, and garlic was fantastic. Though the fish was prepared in a very simple manner, it was seasoned and executed with perfection. Both of our meals came with our choice of a single side dish. While my companion liked his rice and black beans, I found my seasoned vegetables to be way to greasy. The medley of cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, peppers, onions, and zucchini were swimming in a heavy garlic butter. Despite a few mishaps, we liked our meal at Rumba Cubana for the most part. I would go back, but I would definitely avoid the vegetables next time.
