I am from out of state and googled best places for chicharrón and this place popped up. Very disappointing I asked for chicharrón and got small pieces of fried pork and fat -no crackling WHATSOEVER. The taste was just ok. Not what I expected at all. So....no! read more

What a waste of money. The food had zero flavor. The pork was so pale it looked like chicken, and I actually had to recook and season it myself just to try and save it. Half my family was so turned off by the food that I ended up ordering dinner from somewhere else. I came in hoping the food would be like the Park Ave location, but this was a huge disappointment. read more

me and my friend ordered some food for pick up. we did the steak, chicken and chorizo with yellow rice. it was good. i just was expecting more flavor for the steak. the chorizo was great that was my favorite. next time i will try a few other things from the menu read more

Highly recommend ordering a mofongo, I ordered the mofongo w garlic shrimp it was excellent moist and crunchy outside, usually they are dry. It was a pleasant surprise extensive menu so there will be lots to pick from. Place is clean and everyone who works there is very friendly read more

- so - I'll start with saying this is the first time I post a review but it's after more than 15 years of enjoying numerous dishes; good introductory dishes and great classics!! Staff is nice, friendly and attentive!! I favor Elizabeth who has been there for many many years - Salvador (part owner) and Audel (part owner). Food is always fresh- made upon ordering it - served nice and hot; as if at home. Desserts and drinks ; very good too!! SANGRIA; my dads favorite!! I could go on forever, but this is a MUST TRY!! Buen provecho- un buen Salvadoreño!! read more

Honestly I had a good time after eating here, Service is pretty great workers are nice to me! Food is delicious I usually get rice and steak. I don't really have a good vibe coming here sometimes. read more

This restaurant was my go to spot and everything has gone down hill. The waitresses are rude and and the quality of food has declined. I am always missing condiments that I specifically ask for and am told are in the bag. (LIES). Their one slice of steak on their pan con bistec is ridiculous. It's a shame this place has gone down hill, I will take my business elsewhere. read more

Centro Latino - 2. Pan con Bistec (one slice of steak) - Cuban Near Me - New York, New Jersey

Great food & priced really well. Love doing pick-ups or dining in. Great neighborhood restaurant; highly recommend el boliche or the mofongo with shrimp. read more

Have been coming here for about fifteen years on and off. Mostly for breakfast and lunch. Staff is friendly and happy. Food is decent for the most part. EXCEPT today the breakfast was cold eggs, fries, home fries and steak were cold. My buddy told the server and she brought him a new plate of hot food. I sucked it up and ate my cold food which I probably should not have. Normally I leave 25 percent tip. Today it was 18 percent. Sorry folks. read more

This is a great place for legit cuban .. good price and outstanding service .. I come here at least once a month even when is not on my way

i am. i sure what has happened with this place but the lately when I have bought the steak sandwich it is horrible. the steak itself it hard , we have to tell the person that serves to make it thin. it is happening very often , will not buy it from here anymore . the owner needs to be aware , steak that is used for steak sandwich needs to be tender and thin, this is like a rubberband. read more

Bland. Everything the b/f & I tried today was bland. The only thing that had some kind of flavor (hence the sole reason for the one star) was their beef empanadas. That.Is.It. read more

The Sandwich Gallego with cheese, roast pork, sausage and Spanish prosciutto on pressed bread. Words cannot do this thing justice but hopefully the picture does. Family friendly, affordable Latin food, sometimes with a twist. read more

Centro Latino - Egg and cheese sandwich - Cuban Near Me - New York, New Jersey

Our go-to spot for lunch and dinner several times a month. Food is cheap, delicious, fresh, and the portions are huge. I haven't tried every item on the menu, but the ones I have tried have been flawless. Place is spotless, and the lighting is nice too. Cozy. My personal favorite dishes are the Chicken parm (not a traditional Cuban dish, but here it's delicious), the "media noche" sandwich, and any of the traditional Cuban entrees, especially the palomilla steak. Delicious. read more

Love the media noche from here the only problem is it's hit or miss. It's either great or dryed out which is very upsetting. Has to be made fresh and juicy. I believe they make them the morning not sure. chicken noodle soup is great. read more

The meat empanadas are mediocre, good but not special more than any other bakery or restaurant on Bergenline. But the guayaba y queso (guava and cheese, $1/each) version is to die for. Served for takeout, these beauties were delicious and just the right temperature, and had me skipping down the street. read more

I always find myself coming here over and over again...I usually stick to the daily specials as the offer about 3 different choices every day. The Ox-Tail is my go to dish...it's terrific. Can't go wrong with the baked chicken or chicken soup...white rice and black beans on the side are a solid choice!!! The staff is courteous and all have worked here for a very long time!!! Price are great!!! They also over a full bar if you are in the mood for a drink!!! read more

This is the type of place where you stick to the daily specials because its almost guaranteed it is certainly fresh. I have never had an issue ordering the most common dishes; ropa vieja (shredded beef), boliche (pot roast), pechuga de pollo a la plancha (grilled chicken breast), their rice and beans, congri, plantains, papa rellena (stuffed potato) are tasty and delicious. I was there on Sunday and my friend and I ordered ropa vieja and boliche with rice and black beans. Everything was delicious, service was adequate and the prices are moderate. I have been a customer for over ten years or so and thankfully have never had any issues with this establishment. read more

Nice local place for breakfast - make sure you like butter! I got the "healthiest" option (cue butter comment) = egg whites (4 which is a good portion) with spinach, potatoes, Cuban toast, and tea ($6.95.) Fresh squeezed oj to polish off the meal. Service is quick and courteous, bathroom clean. Plus full bar if you want to add some vodka to that oj! read more

I always used to order from there. The waitress messed up my order gave me plantains when i had ordered white rice when i called about the mistake they were very rude and made it seem that i made the mistake.They wouldnt deliver the rice unless i paid a delivery fee and paid for the rice and thats what i had ordered initially. I used to order every week. Will never order from there again read more

This place its good and cheap. Hopefully you will get a friendly waitress but overall service is good and fast. The food so far its good, I would definitely recomend the carnitas de cerdo. Next Im looking foward on the empanadas. read more

I went to today and ordered pork with yuca. My masitas de cerdo (pork pieces) were not cooked fully. The meat was red inside & burned on the outside. Never again will I eat there. Pork has to be fully cooked, it's not a steak! After I complained, the waitress said she will return the plate to the chef to have it cooked, I said no because it will be burned more. Check your food before eating. Another thing I asked for a sprite drink and my cup that a fly inside!!!!! -_- read more

the food is ok, but nothing special. The price is cheaap, but now i know why!! and the service is terrible. I have to wait 10min to some of the waitress take my order,the place was almost empty so there was no reason to take so long my order!. read more

This place is amazing! Any item I've tried on the menu has been fantastic! Also, the owner is very friendly and he's almost there all the times we've been there to ask how's everything. The staff- we've been going here for years, so sometimes it's great and some others not so much. They always ask how's everything but sometimes they seem like they are in a bad mood. We don't let that cloud or mess with our meal at all. The price range is great too, and to find a great place to eat with great food is hard to find in WNY. read more

After eating their Central American breakfast three people fell ill with stomach problems. Called the restaurant and they said that no one else complained. They should be more concerned with food quality. read more

First time dining there was today had the caldo de gallego it was absolutely delicious our waitress was good with service and paid attention to details all in all no complaints and recommending the establishment it was full read more

We ordered for delivery and their rice and beans were old and disgusting. When we called to complain they said their rice was fresh. We put the rice in the fridge and the next morning it was slimy and smelled. This place is horrible and rude this is the first and last time we order from here. read more

I've eaten dinner here a couple of times with my boyfriend and thought the food was good enough to go back again last night. However, I'm now having stomach problems and apparently three other people fell ill as well according to another reviewer. I probably WON'T be returning again. Maybe if they shrunk their large menu, they wouldn't have any issues with controlling the quality of the food they send out. -shrugs- read more
