🍽️🇨🇺 Fun Cuban spot on Washington Street 🇨🇺🍽️Tried The Cuban on a Thursday evening and overall it was a solid experience, especially since Hoboken doesn’t have many Cuban spotsWe sat inside and got a few things to share. Started with the empanaditas, which came with spinach and cheese, chicken, and beef 🥟 All were good, and the sauces on the side definitely made them betterFor mains, we got the Paella de Valencia 🦐 There was a generous amount of seafood, which I liked, but the rice was a little mushy. Not sure if that’s the style, but it was still flavorful overallWe also tried the Pollo Criollo Plato and this was probably my favorite dish 🍗 The chicken was tender and the plantain fried rice was really good, super flavorful and a nice switch-up from regular riceWe split a sangria pitcher too, which was yummy and actually gives a lot more than you’d expect, probably closer to 7 or 8 glasses 🍷Service started off strong, but towards the end it got a bit busy and we were waiting a little while for the checkOverall, I’m glad I tried it. It’s a fun, different option for Hoboken with solid food and good portions. Not sure if I’d rush back, but definitely worth checking out at least once 🇨🇺✨
