Food, service, ambience, perfect place to get a real Cuban meal with their unique flavor, tasty, great portion, the oxtail was beyond my expectations. Me and my mom orders oxtail with Moro rice, sweet plantains and yuca with mojo. Absolutely delightful..coming back soon. For desert I recommend the coconut cake..fluffy,soft and fresh. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Which is hard to believe since it's a block from the Path train, but it blends in and is easy to walk by over and over without ever trying. Don't make that mistake. Try it. Entree portions are very generous. Food is delicious. Service is great. Coffee is amazing. My fiancé is Puerto Rican and she says the food is authentic. I got the chicken with garlic cream sauce & spinach and I am happy I did. Tried some of the mofongo also and it was tasty. A nice touch is the sauce they have on the table. Something like a chipotle mayo? Whatever it is, I'm a fan. read more

Wow! VERY impressed with La Casa!! We tried their Garlic Chicken and I had shrimp with mine. We got a side of the fried eggs. So I've had La Islas garlic chicken and La Casa is WAY better!!! I love all of the fresh garlic and herbs! Shrimp and chicken was cooked perfectly!! Tender. Chicken was easy to pull apart. Just wish the chicken was a bit thicker! It's pounded pretty flat. Otherwise highly recommend!! The spinach is cooked in with the delicious sauce and tastes so fresh. Absolutely LOVE this dish!!! The side of two fried eggs were also cooked perfectly and perfectly seasoned with salt and pepper. I love that this is a side option. Very good. Fresh. We also ordered the iced americano. We are SUPER impressed!! Best iced americano in Hoboken thus far!! You gotta try one if you love americanos!! Excellent espresso!! Gorgeous flavor! We will definitely be back to try more items off the menu!! The owner, Russell is also great!! My boyfriend also tried their coconut cake, made from scratch there. It's very moist and so flavorful!! He said it's an excellent cake 10/10! Wish I could try it!! (It's unfortunately not keto friendly lol). Highly recommend trying this place!!! Prices are great too! Great quality, fresh foods. read more

Came to La Casa on Easter Sunday afternoon with three other friends. This place is absolutely stellar in both the service and authenticity department. Food was great and came out very timely. The flavors are all there along with an assurance that nothing you are getting is prepared days ago. I Wouk certainly recommend this place for a date night (bring your own wine) as they make sangrias as well. La Casa really does feel like home read more

I'm thinking of moving to NJ just so I can eat here all the time! Popped in for lunch after seeing other reviews. It was way better than even its best review! Small, charming place with an obviously big local following. I had the mofongo and empañadas. Both were off the chart delicious. Fresh, flavorful. Lick-the-plate good! Service was welcoming and polite. Really terrific experience. Go there immediately!!! You'll thank me later. read more

Would give it a 3.5 to be honest besides the cuban sandwich which that was a 5 star sandwich!! Churrasco: 6/10 too greasy and not tasty and the plantains were burnt Cuban sandwich: 10/10! Only yummy thing from that meal tbh read more

Probably one of my favorite places in all of hoboken. This is my first time ordering pickup and while I really do enjoy the ambiance of the indoor restaurant...the food is just as delicious at home. What to order: 4 words. Guava and cheese empanadas. The Empanadas de Guayaba y Queso are hands down the best item in the place. I typically just order 4 of the things and call it lunch! I take everyone who visits me in Hoboken to get these empanadas and everyone loves them! Pollo al Ajillo. This chicken in garlic sauce is delicious. And comes with two sides (I got sweet plantains and fries) I asked for the sides of the garlic sauce and chili sauce which are normally served on the table, for my empanadas. Protip: call ahead if you have a group of 4 or 5 so that you can ask for the table in the back so that you won't be blocking the walkway to the kitchen. It's a really narrow restaurant. Pro tip #2:the heat is always blasting! Dress light or in layers so you can take off a layer of needed. Protip #3: bring a bottle of wine and they will make you sangria! (For a price) read more

Ropa vieja was just OK. I thought portion was small for the price. Its OK for a quick lunch.

Cute decor - tiny place The empanadas were good but not the best in the world The shrimp skills was bland and underwhelming I traveled from JC Give me some damn good food please read more

Las Casa it's a small little restaurant that seat about 16 people inside. It did have a few outside seating. It was cozy not over noisy so we were able to have a conversation. We had the Tuesday Lunch special - oxtail and two sides yellow rice and sweet plantains. My friend had the oxtail with white rice and Yuca fries. The food was very good. Portion was decent. I would consider coming back again. Price was also decent. Thank you for a good meal. read more

Always delicious food. Occasionally if the owner is there he will chat and is nice. When our orders are large they do forget a side or two but otherwise, really love this place! read more

If you get anything from this review it should be this - try the guava and cheese empanadas! They're amazing, and a couple of them make a great lunch. I had dinner at La casa on a Thursday night around 5:45pm and they were able to seat us immediately, although it is a small restaurant. We brought a bottle of wine that was 3/4 full and they still made us sangria with it, which was very yummy! I assume they add juice and fruit - it came out great! I had the chicken and shrimp in garlic sauce, which came with two sides. I got veggies (which I wouldn't get again, they were just regular) and the plantains (which were delicious)! The portion sizes are huge! I'll definitely be having my leftovers for lunch. The value is amazing, if you're in Hoboken I recommend trying it out. Just a note that only the downtown location is BYOB, not the uptown one. read more

La Casa - Pollo y Camarones al Ajillo - Cuban Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

This places is great for authentic Caribbean Hispanic food. The waiter was very attentive and he always made sure we had what we needed. We sat outside since the weather was lovely. I honestly didn't like what I ordered because I really don't like beef stew in general so that's my fault. It was flavorful but I just felt like the tomato sauce over powered the seasoning. I loved the rice and red beans it reminded me of my moms cooking. My bf got hmm... what did he get.. oh yea, beef oxtails with arroz con gandules and yucca frita. We got shrimp stuffed tostones which was my favorite because they come with sauces that made the dish so much better. We also ordered morir soñando, coffee and guava cheesecake. Everything came out to be 66$, I thought that was a deal. The guava cheesecake didn't really taste like guava but it was good. Coffee was strong. I had leftover for the next day. read more

4.5*s Every time I had walked past La Casa, it was packed both inside and out, and I continually would complain about how I simply needed to try it but kept forgetting. Well, I finally made it there and loved it!! We sat inside and praised the cozy atmosphere and authentic paintings on the walls. Our friendly server handed us tablets containing their varied menu for us to navigate. We had missed the fact that the restaurant was BYOB and would make sangria with your wine, but we will definitely keep that in mind for the future. The food was made-to-order, so it took a bit of time to arrive, but it was surely worth it. The portions were huge, and everything was extremely flavorful. I opted for the Grilled Chicken and Shrimp combination plate and simply loved how well-seasoned both were. The massive chicken breast had been pounded thin, and they generously provided 6-8 shrimp. I was also entitled to 2 side dishes and selected the Vegetables of the Day and Yellow Rice with Pidgeon Peas. The veggies happened to be broccoli and carrots, but these had been cooked in a garlic and herbed oil, making them really zesty and interesting. The large mound of rice and peas was made even more enjoyable, when I poured the white garlic sauce (in a bottle on the table) over it. My boyfriend had went with the Sirloin Steak with Onions. Given that the meat was topped with a hefty dose of sautéed onions, they wisely kept the steak on the milder side flavor-wise to allow the caramelized rings to add their kick. He also went with the yellow rice, but selected fries as his second side dish. Both of these meals cost only $15-$20 and were extremely satisfying. From the food to the atmosphere to the affordable prices and large portions, La Casa was a great find! read more

La casa food always fresh and amazing. Come here on the regular. Service is always great!

This might be one of the best Eggs Benedict I had. Gorgeous looking plate with the best sausages I had, delicious sauce and eggs served on a bed of spinach with garlic sauce on the side. Next time, I'll branch out and try other Colombian dishes. Oxtail soup looks yum! Great place for brunch or lunch! Highly recommend read more

Visited on May 1st around 7:30pm and placed a to go order. I paid for my order with the young lady behind the counter and proceeded to wait for it to be ready. The guy behind the counter who is the manger(Always wears a baseball cap and glasses) blew his nose and didn't wash his hands. Then a customer came in and asked for 2 empanadas and he went right over without washing his hands or any gloves. Disgusting Will not be going back Hope someone watches the cameras to see him in action read more

Came in on a Saturday at around 5. La Casa is pretty small (and narrow), but there weren't too many people dining there - probably because it was a weird time. To start, we had the chicken empanada, spinach/cheese empanada, and the ham croquette. The empanadas were only okay. They didn't seem too fresh, especially since they took them out of one of those food heaters, but they weren't terrible. The croquette was pretty good. For my main, I had the cuban sandwich. This would have been really good, had they not drenched the bread in butter. I was able to smell all the butter as our waiter was walking towards us with the plate. BF had some kind of pork plate, which comes with two sides so he opted for rice and french fries. For all of this food, we paid $32, which includes tax and tip. Pretty great deal. I'd come back and try some of their other sandwiches but next time, I'll tell them to go easy on the butter. read more

Let me just say that the food is amazing!!! My garlic shrimp was mouthwatering and you can do 2 sides. Mine came with big bowl of rice and beans.

Bill for two people came out around just $40. So worth to try. read more

Located a couple blocks away from the Hoboken Path Station. Home style Latin cooking at its best. This time we shared a Pollo al Ajillo. Garlic chicken with a side of white rice and plantains. OMG that garlic sauce!!! You'll want to lick the plate when you're done. This BYOB cozy little cafe with streetside tables serving classic Latin comfort eats for #breakfast, #lunch #dinner . BTW, one of the only places we've encountered that uses an iPad / Menu. I love it! Each item on the menu is pictured so you know exactly what you're getting before you order. Every restaurant should have this! Hits all my senses. The great aroma as you walk in, then my eyes get fed scrolling thru the menu then lastly my belly. lol. Street parking can be tough but there's indoor parking garage nearby if you can't find a spot. ---@vinopotato read more

Wow! Trust the reviews. This place is five stars for food and service. I LOVE good service and this place over-delivered (Thanks Henry!). The food is so good. The mofongo with chicken was so good with such perfectly seasoned and cooked chicken- juicy interior and crispy exterior. Cute warm space with mostly tables for two and a small bar in the front. Latin music playing and all the staff speaking their native language just addd to the awesome experience. Can't wait to return! read more

I almost missed this tiny place. I believed that it used to be the froyo place before. The staff members were very friendly. It seemed that the customers were the regulars, who knew each other and the staff. We sat down near the bar area by the door. Space was very tight and they had to move the tables and chairs around to fit us. We ordered a beef empanada to share. It was crispy outside and tender & salty inside. I could use a little less salt but it was perfect for my husband. I ordered the pollo asado (rotisserie chicken) with sweet plantains and vegetables. The chicken was well roasted and pretty tender. Sweet plantains were soft and sweet and reminded me of Sophie's. Vegetables were pretty standard. My husband got oxtail stew with rice and eggs. Oxtail stew was very flavorful and tender. The whole thing turned out about $25, which was very cheap for a sit-down dinner in Hoboken. read more

Better than expected. Only down side was they didn't have what i initially ordered. Pernil. Even though that's one of the specials for Wednesdays. No big deal because the fried steak was great. Lunch prices are awesome. Oh and slight bummer they serve on melamine plastic plates. It kinda cheapens the food experience, especially as you cut into your food. But i get why they do it. Good food and atmosphere. read more

Finally, I found my go-to Spanish restaurant in Hoboken. I've been here back to back weeks for dinner and then brunch, so this review was a must. For dinner, we had the croquetas and chicharrón as an appetizer and both were incredible. For dinner, I had the garlic chicken and shrimp with morro. The garlic sauce was light and amazing to mix in with the rice. The chicken and shrimp were perfect as well. We ended dinner with tres leche which had a good dry to milk ratio. The café con leche was great and super strong. For brunch, we started with every type of empanada (spinach and cheese, chicken and beef) and the ham croqueta. So many different amazing flavors and they have a pink sauce to go with it. The café con leche again because it's a must. For my entree, I had the mangu with fried cheese, salami, and eggs. As we left we opted for the morir soñando to go. The fresh orange juice really stood out and tasted great. This spot is a super affordable, great service, a super beautiful and small restaurant in Hoboken. Highly recommended!! read more

La Casa - Garlic Chicken and Shrimp - Cuban Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

What a hidden gem! I came here on a Saturday night with my boyfriend for date night and was not disappointed at all! The restaurant is small, intimate, and decorated very nicely. The lighting is very dim each table had a candle. When we arrived there was a couple of tables open and we had the option to choose where we wanted to sit. Once we sat down we were given two menus which were on a tablet so you can see what each entree and side looks like. They don't have alcohol but it's BYOB and who doesn't love that?! To start we ordered two beef empanadas which were crispy and seasoned very well. For our entrees we ordered mofongo with fried pork and pernil with rice and fried yuca. Everything was seasoned well and portions the are generous. The only thing that needed a little more salt in my opinion was the mofongo. Overall, I highly recommend coming here. The prices are inexpensive, it's BYOB, food is great, and it has a very romantic feel to it. read more

The Pernil is out of this world--it literally melts in your mouth and is so rich in flavor.

I am so glad I found this place, and that they deliver to Jersey City! read more

I was having a craving for oxtail stew/rabo encendido and decided to try this place for dinner. It's the only place I know in Hoboken that serves oxtail more than once a week (I'm looking at you...La Isla). Other than fulfilling my oxtail craving, I also decided to try the Mofongo de Chicharron, which are just mashed plantains with fried pork and garlic. I do recommend getting the oxtail dish...it was super delicious! I did enjoy the oxtail more than the mofongo as I felt the mofongo with the pork were a bit too dry for my taste. All the main entrees come with your choice of two sides. They have a variety of sides you can choose from, such as beans, rice, plantains, fries, salad, fried egg, veggie of the day, etc. Also, the prices here are very reasonable. Service here is very friendly and efficient. One thing to note is that space in here is pretty tight. I would say that this restaurant seats no more than about 10-15 people. It would be good for small groups. Look no further, I totally recommend coming here to get some Cuban food! read more

I catered from La Casa after eating at their restaurant once and it was the highlight of my party! Everyone raved about the flavor of every dish. I got full trays and still had so much left over (yay me - lunches and dinner covered this week!). Everyone had seconds as well. There was 18-20 people and I ordered the below trays: Rotisserie Chicken (thighs and drumsticks) Ropa Vieja Arroz con gandules White rice Pernil (1/2 tray - but still had leftover) Red beans Black beans Empanadas (beef, chicken and cheese/guava) Quantity, Quality and ease of ordering read more

Stopped by here on my way to somewhere else for some take out. I was in the mood for a steak sandwich and this place was close to Hoboken terminal. I figured I'd have enough time to grab and go on my layover between trains. I sat at the bar to wait for my order, but I did look around at the space while waiting. There's a bar to the left as you walk in and tables on the right. It's a relatively small space. Got my steak sandwich to go and ended up eating it on the train. The size of the sandwich was good, as well as the amount of the steak. The bread was nicely toasted and I was happy with the taste of the steak. The steak wasn't too tough or bland. It had a good flavor. As a sidenote, they seem to have some good lunch specials, but I was unfortunately too late to try them. I think their lunch ends at 3pm. Maybe next time. read more

La Casa - Pernil Sandwich - Cuban Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

One of my favorite restaurants in Hoboken! The space is small and they have a couple of outdoor seatings. It does get super busy especially during lunch, so make sure to get their early! However, if you do have to wait - it's worth it Their lunch specials are amazing. With huge portions and fair prices - it's unbeatable! There are no alcoholic beverages on the menu, but if you bring a bottle of wine, they'll make you a bomb margarita! It's actually one of the best margaritas I've ever had, so don't think twice about bringing your wine. My suggestions (aka the only things I've tried) are the pernil, their oxtail dish, empanadas, sopa de pollo, and sancocho!! I already can't wait to come back read more

Wow!!! This place checks all of the boxes for me. I called on a Saturday knowing my chances of getting a reservation were slim. When I called, the guy who answered was extremely polite and said they didn't have any spots left for tonight, but we'll call you if something opens. They called me back and we made our way over! It's a very small restaurant with a handful of tables. Small, but decorated so well that you feel at home. Our server, Henri, was great and checked on us frequently. Food came out in a timely manner. We split a papa rellena (perfectly crisp) and I had the fried chicken with mofongo. Omgggg, the chicken was so good that I chewed on the bone to get extra flavor lol. The mofongo was also good! Tried an Iron Beer soda which is pretty addicting. For desert I had the flan...and it was the best I've ever had. My fiancé has the tres leches which was also fantastic. Prices are not too bad for Hoboken. Overall, I loved this place and would love to return. read more

My girlfriend and I decided to get dinner here one night since she stops by for lunch all the time and wanted me to try it. It's in a very convenient location right by the PATH station. It's Hoboken though so finding parking is a crap shoot. The restaurant is very small and doesn't have a lot of tables. I know they cater to a lot of delivery and take out orders. The wait staff is very polite and knowledgeable on the menu options. They handed us both an iPad instead of a menu, but hey, it's 2019. You still order with the server though so you're not making selections on the tablet. After asking a couple of questions, I settled on chicken empanadas and the oxtail stew. The empanadas were done very well and the flavor was excellent. The oxtail stew came with two sides, as all the entrees do, so I got yellow rice and vegetables with it. They have many side options including beans and plantains but I'm not a huge fan of those. The vegetables had a lot of garlic in it, which can be good or bad depending on your taste. The oxtail was cooked perfectly and the flavors were very rich and robust. I added a little hot sauce to each bite to give it a good kick. I am definitely interested in coming back and trying out other things on the menu, but I honestly may never get myself to not order the oxtail stew. read more
