    #5. 2 Fried Eggs Served with Mashed Green Plantains, Fried Cheese, and Salami Breakfast
    Ingrid G.

    The food is always on point. I first had the Mangu Breakfast after a night out and it was amazing. I then came back the second time to confirm. Its a plate of mashed plantain , fried egg, fried cheese, and fried salami. The lechón was very flavorful, the rice mixed with beans make the perfect side dish. The prices are great. The service could be better, male customers get better service. The food comes out quick. The decor is a bit behind in time, it's a bold blue but the menu on the tv's make it more modern.

    Sancocho and White Rice

    I've done a review here before, but it was only for the Sancocho and rice. This time I came back for the fried chicken and the breaded fish. Both serving sizes were pretty large for the price! I'm a pretty big eater and I left here stuffed. The chicken was a 10/10 and I can't wait to have it again. The fish was delicious as well. I've tried a few things here and I've never had a bad meal. The staff here is very attentive and kind. As of right now, this might be my favorite lunch time spot.

    Tres leches.  Literally ending the meal with a cherry on top.

    6 stars! Honestly think I found my new favorite place in the area. Or at least a close tie with a couple others (like La Piedra Del Sol, and Tacqueria Veracruz). Literally everything from start to finish was perfect. Upon seating, they give you your own pitcher of water. One problem I have with many other places here is when you ask for water and they try to give you bottled. I know the game they're playing and I think it's a cheap tactic. So to see water given from the get go was nice to see. Then there's the atmosphere. It has the look of a traditional American coffee shop but has a Cuban backbone. It's clean, organized, and instantly looks like the place is run like a well oiled machine. Now the food. The guayabera and cheese empanada was heaven. And then there was the Cubano, my goodness the Cubano. I've had Cuban sandwiches before but this was the best, and may have even been the best sandwich of all sandwiches I ever had. Unlike other places that might have overly dry bread and bland inside, this bread was crusty and light, and flavors inside were harmony. Tangy melty cheese, mustard, salty meats and refreshing pickle slices. Then had to try the tres leches cake (pictured). So moist, and generously milky. It was the ultimate way to finish. All this food for ~$10 before tip, and it was just the right amount of food too. Fed, but not stuffed. Will definitely want to come back! Keep up the good work Las Brisas and everyone there!

    Roasted Pulled Pork White Rice Red Beans

    Quick little lunch in the area. My friend wanted a sandwich but I could not turn down a nice cooked meal. Pork was seasoned well but felt like it needed to be cooked more. Beans were tasty, more stew than beans but that's okay. Friend liked her steak sandwich. Not pictures was a passion fruit smoothie. Love coming here when I'm in the area, service is always great. Can't beat these prices!

    The service was good, the food was average. The croquetas were cold inside I guess the oil wasn't hot enough. The Bbq ribs were also cold, so we had to send them back so they could heat them up. The arroz Moro was pretty good. We also had the tres leches (meh), and the flan con coco (meh, meh). Price are GOOD, portions are generous. Overall food average.

It also had yucca fries, rice & beans!! Even typing this I can't believe the deal, lol. The service was great.

Matteo was a great & attentive server & last, but not least, the place is super cute.

The empanada sampler was sooo good, they nailed the flavors for sure. The ropa vieja was not as savory as it typically is at other restaurants. The mojitos and wings were decent. This is a great spot for happy hours and small bites. This place is huge, three floors or something. But only the first floor is used for dining, I believe. The others are rented out for events. Even when not having an event, it's a missed opportunity to not utilize the other floors.

    I don't take leaving negative reviews lightly. I would much rather support a local business than…read morebash one. However, after attempting to address this directly with management multiple times and being met with zero follow-up and continued avoidance of responsibility, I feel obligated to share our experience. What we dealt with went far beyond poor service. It was unsanitary, chaotic, and frankly a potential health hazard that warrants review by the health department. We arranged for a private loft space on Valentine's Day to host a surprise birthday dinner for 25 guests with a prepaid prix fixe menu. From start to finish, the night was a disaster: * We were promised a private loft space, yet two other couples were seated upstairs with us, leaving some of our guests without proper seating and creating an awkward, cramped setup. * From the moment we arrived, buckets were placed in the middle of the party area due to a leaking ceiling caused by overflowing toilet water from the bathroom above. Water dripped into the dining area all night -- onto guests, tables, and plates. There was one bucket gathering brown water from the ceiling when we arrived and at least three by the time we left. Food and drinks were carried directly beneath it and the floor was soaked. This is a serious health code concern, and notably, two guests became sick after the party. * We appeared to have one single server for 25 people, resulting in extremely slow service. For a 6:30 reservation, appetizers began arriving 90 minutes later -- one plate at a time -- some cold by the time others were served. * Dinner was not served until 9:30pm. After nearly three hours of waiting for entrees, some guests had to leave without ever receiving food. * The included coffee, tea, and dessert -- part of the prepaid package -- were never offered or served. * After requesting to speak with a manager about the experience and a possible partial refund, we were told we would receive a call. That call never came. This was not a matter of a busy holiday or a minor delay. It was a complete breakdown in cleanliness, staffing, communication, and accountability -- compounded by management's lack of professionalism and refusal to take responsibility afterward. I attached photos from the moment our guest of honor arrived at the surprise party, and an additional photo of what the additional buckets looked like at 8:43 PM while we were still waiting for our food to arrive. I genuinely hope ownership takes this seriously before anyone else books a party or chooses to dine here, because no one should have to experience what we did.

    For being a Monday night, I think I picked out the perfect spot while in Hoboken! The Cuban…read morerestaurant is certainly more spacious than meets the eye from street view. It has a very long bar with a half floor in the back for additional booth like seating and also a mezzanine for additional seating above. We were very attracted to the restaurant from the outside with their fun music playing from the speakers. We proceeded to have dinner and a couple drinks to end the first Monday of the year. My coworker and I shared the garlic shrimp with toast and the trio of empanadas (spinach, pork, chicken). We'd rate both dishes, a 9 out of 10 each. One point knocked off because the garlic shrimp was a bit oily and one point knocked off because the sauces were a bit too sweet. For dinner we ended up sharing Churrasco plate which is grilled skirt steak with chimichurri sauce, yucca fries, and a watercress salad. We ordered additional side of rice and black beans to share. In addition to the appetizers, this was the perfect meal to feed us two. The steak was pretty good and the server even asked if we wanted the hot sauce which was so spicy but very delicious. I highly recommend getting some of it to pair with your steak. We did order a Mojito since the server said they make fresh in-househouse. It was in fact, so delicious and would highly recommend especially the guava flavor. For dessert, we decided to give the chocolate filled churros a try. It appeared with a raspberry sauce. That was a 7 out of 10 for us so I'd say skip on that. Romeo came out to about $140 for two including the Mojitos and dessert. I feel like it's pretty fair pricing. Otherwise, service throughout the night was amazing, staff was very attentive and server very polite to recommend a couple of dishes. We certainly appreciated being in an awesome booth in the back. Would likely return again for dinner!
