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.

My teenage daughter put me on to this spot when she asked me stop by in the morning for some cheese…read moreempanadas, before I dropped her off to school. 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!

I was impressed to see such beautiful decorations, and I couldn't believe that the owner was only 25! We spent some time talking with her, and she is so sweet.

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!

The staff were friendly and very patient with us. Would definitely come again if we are around the area.

It's hard to write about the food when the food just speaks for itself. Everything is good. There is a full menu. But they also have a warm buffet of dishes for you to choose from.

This had to be the worst Dominican food I have had in Bridgeport. The mofongo had zero taste, not…read moreeven salt was added. The Cuban sandwich taste like a deli sandwich with added Mayo lettuce and tomato. Cuban sandwiches don't have lettuce and tomato. I won't even tell you how bad the rest of the food was. As a Dominican who knows what these things should taste like, they should really rethink the Dominican restaurant thing. The food here is a 0 out of 10, I would never recommend

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.
