    Mango shake and wheat shake
    Sussanna G.

    So happy my husband brought me here. When I was a kid, my dad would get us coffee, bread, and Batidos de trigo (wheat shakes) for Saturday breakfast. We left my childhood neighborhood and it has been years since I was able to find a similar shake . This hit me right in the nostalgia! Perfectly sweet and very filling! Can't go wrong with their coffee either! This place was very busy during breakfast hours. I suggest you call ahead or give yourself some time when you drop in. It is worth the wait!

    Fresh squeezed cane, orange juice with lime
    Sitara S.

    I've been coming here since I was very young for their sandwiches and freshly squeezed juices. Their cafe serves a mix of Cuban and Dominican meals. They have a small buffet where you can order oxtail, mangu, beans and rice, pollo guisado and various other dishes. Their cane, orange juice with lime is my favorite paired with one of those sandwiches. The staff is super friendly and attentive. I highly recommend here if you're in the area.

    There was a screw in my sandwich when I opened it!

    On Saturday, April 15, 2023, I called Omar's Cafe and ordered a steak sandwich for pick up. I picked up the sandwich, paid for it, and ran home to eat it. As soon as I opened it, there was a SCREW in my sandwich. I was in disbelief and I went to Omar's immediately. They were insensitive and asked if I put that screw there myself. I asked to speak to the owner and they said he wasn't there. I asked for them to call him so I can speak to him but they refused. They told me either they'll give me the $10 back or they'll make me another sandwich. They also said if I choose the sandwich, I need to sit there and stay quiet. This is so unbelievable and my family or friends will never be returning. Omar's Cafe are insensitive, do not care for the health of their customers, and do not handle situations the proper way.

    Pan con bistec

    Solid, SOLID cuban sandwiches. Docking one star because toward the end of the day they severely limit their extensive menu. Placed an order around 6:20 on a weekday and they pretty much ran out of everything but sandwiches. I will have to come back to try the ropa vieja and their breakfast, though. Food: Ordered the Pan con bistec and Pan con pollo, with everything. They pack these sandwiches with a ton of meat, lettuce, tomato, and potato sticks (which btw should be in every damn sandwich ever). The meat in both sandwiches were tasty and tender, and the bread is nice, soft, and crisp. The sandwiches are huge and can in some instances be considered two servings full. I thoroughly enjoyed the sandwiches and have nothing to complain about. Also tried the Yucca in garlic sauce. DELICIOUS. Bursting with garlic flavor, some soft onions mixed in as well. They only had ham and cheese empanadas, which were very crunchy and satisfactory, but nothing to write home about. Service is quick and friendly. The decor in the place is super cute! Will definitely come back to try more stuff, but I can attest to the sandwiches being bomb dot com (do people still say that anymore? eh).

Everyone who tried it absolutely loved the rabo encendido and kept asking for the name and location of the restaurant where I got it. Luis, the owner, even followed up with a call the next day just to make sure everything was to my liking. This was truly impressive and shows how much they care about their customers.

The food was absolutely amazing really flavorful and well done. Just be a little prepared that most dishes come in smaller portions. But the quality definitely makes up for it. I ordered the paella, and it's easily enough for two or even three people and it was well worth it. Really delicious. The drinks were also definitely worth trying while you're there. The only thing I wasn't big on was the desserts they didn't quite live up to the rest of the meal. But overall, great atmosphere, excellent food, and a fun experience. I'd definitely come back.

    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!
