The broth was rich, comforting, and packed with that slow simmered, homemade, Dominican flavor. I was hoping it would include a variety of meats, but it only had ham and pork, which is my least favorite of meats. I was glad it at least came with yuca, along with potatoes and carrots. I also tried the flan. Unfortunately, it wasn't packaged very well, and the liquidy made caramel sauce had leaked, getting all over my hands when I opened it. The texture and flavor weren't for me. I prefer flan with a custard pudding consistency, but this one was more like slime. I believe I had their combos before I started yelping, and it was good and affordable. I would give this spot another try, but I definitely won't reorder the items I tried today.

We ordered Cuban sandwiches and food to go. The rice & beans & chicken plate was good. Lots of flavor. The toasted bread for the Cuban sandwiches was great. I am disappointed that each sandwich only contained one piece of ham, one piece of cheese. one tomato halved, and a very small amount of thinly sliced pernil. They were dry. There was no mustard or pickles on the sandwich which would classify it as a Cuban to me. I asked for these condiments & got ketchup & mustard packets. Before we started eating there was a bottle of hot sauce on our table but for some reason it was taken away when the drinks were brought out. Next time I'll order the mofongo & hopefully they're not as light on the filling with that.

She is a very selective eater so I had to try some myself. I usually don't go for empanadas with cheese, I'll say that's the best I've ever had. The crust had a nice crisp, the white cheese tasted fresh. Overall it was delicious. Today I stopped by with my man later in the day. There were no empanadas ready, we tried chicken, steak stew, black rice, yellow rice, yuca, and plátano maduro (sweet plantains). I was so hungry I didn't want to take photos. It was tasty. I have no complaints. I'm planning to come back before work to grab some more empanadas, I highly recommend you try!

I asked for a combo plate of food but perhaps it was misunderstood. Instead i got separate orders of what I wanted in the one combo plate. But no biggie maybe that's how they serve it. We had enough food for the next day. We ordered two different kinds of rice with one order of stewed steak and a piece of baked chicken. We also got some yuca with onions and sweet plantains. I enjoyed the stewed steak the most. Very flavorful. On my next visit I'll try the empanadas if they are available. I hear they are really good!

You can't go wrong with any of the choices, but some of our favorites were the mini patacones and yaroa. They offer a steam table Wednesday-Sunday as well. Check them out for an authentic meal!

I am biased bc I truthfully have not tried every P.R. restaurant in Bridgeport, CT. However what I love most about Coquito is there yellow arroz con condules. OMG! So flavorful and the taste of the sofrito comes through in there rice every time for me. I crave their rice. Okay enough let me get to the food we ate today. The steak was VERY tender and flavorful. Rice and beans are always cooked well. Not overcooked or undercooked. Perfect on the flavor. The bacaloa was delicious and paired WELL with the monfongo y camarones. Oh man, when we ordered it we went early to get seating and the chef said im gonna make it. She asked if we wanted it on a plate and we said yes. Oh boy the sauce ughhhh was ahmazingly garlicky and seasoned well. The cilantro notes came through. It was my 1st time having it but my fiancé 2nd and it did not disappoint. We came in for monfongo y camarones, we planned for the surf n turf, but changed it for the pepper steak with yellow rice beans. We also ordered the bacalao with yellow rice once i discovered they had it on the menu. We also ordered two beverages with coconut milk or coconut juice with coconut coquito and parcha juice with coconut coquito (co-workers recommendation). I don't know what this is called though. This is soooo refreshing. I've seen people ordered this so many times and never knew it was this amazingly delicious! The service is always good when I come here. I've been coming here since their old location and i must admit the service and food have definitely came a long way. Good ambiance. We did have to go early to avoid long lines and open availability for table and booth access to dine in as well as parking. This is a frequent P.R.restaurant I visit and so far my favorites have been the yellow rice, carne fritas, pastelios, pepper steak, and bacalao. I also tried the Jibarito which was delicious

I first tried Cibus back in August of 2025 for a quick drink and appetizers, so when my friends…read moreasked where we should go for dinner, I didn't hesitate to suggest it. I may add that I live 90 minutes from here and only come to this town 1-3 times a year. So, my friends usually take my suggestions and a group of eight of us showed up on a Saturday night with no reservation, and somehow the universe blessed us with a table. The place was packed, even the bar had people standing around it; so we knew we were in for a good night. One thing I loved about Cibus that night, is the crowd. It's a great mix of Hispanic and non‑Hispanic diners, which tells you the food speaks to everyone. The décor is warm and inviting, and the dimmed evening lighting gives it that cozy, "we're about to eat well" vibe. Parking was easy too. I have to admit I thought it may be harder to find parking but we found a spot right behind the restaurant, though street parking is also an option, but was packed. Our server, David, deserves his own shout‑out. Super patient, friendly, and ready with answers for every question we threw at him. He checked on us often without hovering, and everyone at the table agreed he did an excellent job. Now, the food...my favorite part. If you've read my reviews before, you know I eat everything but have a soft spot for Asian cuisine. And even though I'm Hispanic, I rarely go out for Hispanic food because I cook it well at home and most places don't impress me. Cibus, however, did not disappoint. Not one dish missed the mark, and the whole table agreed. We even ordered extra food to take home. We started with the Garlic Shrimp with Mofongo. The creamy orange sauce caught me off guard because it's not the usual style, but it worked beautifully. The flavors were balanced, the mofongo wasn't dry (thank you!), and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. We liked it so much we ordered multiple plates of this one; plus two Cuban sandwiches to go. The Cuban was tasty, though it could use a little more meat and sauce. The Ropa Vieja was another hit. Plenty of meat, plenty of sauce, and the black beans were flavorful. A sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top would have made it perfect, but that's just me being picky with my extra flavors and aroma. We also had the ceviche, the trio of little mofongos, and the Chips and Guacamole -- and yes, they make their tortilla and plantain chips in‑house. Not a single crumb survived. I tried the Tostones Sliders with pork, and I wouldn't change a thing. They were loaded with meat, had the right amount of veggies and sauce, and were just delicious. The only dish that didn't wow me was the Maduro with cheese. I love maduros, but the melted mozzarella felt a little plain. There's so much potential here, instead of Mozart maybe try some queso Mexicano, a small side of meat sauce, chimichurri sauce, or even a spicy drizzle could take it to the next level. Speaking of spice, I asked for hot sauce and was surprised to get a watered‑down Frank's RedHot. For a Latin fusion restaurant, something like Cholula, El Yucateco, or Tapatío would fit the Latin fusion theme so much better and elevate the dishes. But overall, Cibus is doing so many things right -- great service, great food, great atmosphere. I'm already planning my next visit and bringing new people with me at end of May.

Second time here...first time dining in. Came here for a family member's birthday dinner…read more Went on a Sunday evening with a group of seven. The restaurant midsized, it's nicely decorated, clean, and good for groups too. The staff were very friendly, food was good, however the waitress was ok. She forgot to bring my appetizer and forgot to place my to-go meal in time of the kitchen closing. The waitress was apologetic and I understand humans forget things from time to time when you're busy. However, this evening was less than half full and when we left it was near closing time...only a couple tables were still there. The least they could have done was comp my meal or have the manager stop by to apologize. But that didn't happen, I just didn't want to make a fuss...so I paid the bill and time will tell if there is another visit in the future.
