Stopped by for some Ropa Vieja and it did not disappoint—absolutely delicious, full of flavor, and cooked just right. I also tried two drinks, the Cuban Lady and Saldo Caribeño, and both were really good—refreshing and well balanced. Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!
Great menu, nice and clean restaurant.. delicious specials.. the best Cuban food I have had in a long time.. price was very good as well.
The food and drinks were great! But the server was by himself, focusing on fixing an expresso machine and did not bring food for a while. The kitchen staff had to come out and bring it to the table. The restaurant has been beautifully renovated which was nice.
Had an amazing experience hosting a party here last night, it was truly a 10/10! The DJ was fantastic, the food was delicious, and the drinks were excellent. I’ll definitely be coming back!
Cubanu Restaurant is such a quaint little gem! The food was absolutely great — every dish was flavorful and beautifully prepared. But honestly, the atmosphere was even better. The lounge vibe is phenomenal — warm, stylish, and full of energy without feeling overwhelming. It’s the perfect spot for a date night. The combination of amazing food, delicious drinks, and dancing makes for a complete night out. They played all types of Spanish music along with 90s freestyle, which kept the vibe fun and nostalgic. It’s one of those places where you come for dinner and end up staying for the music and dancing. Definitely a spot I will be going back to! 💃🏽🎶✨
I always love coming to CubaNu, I've been many many times and the food is always amazing! I am obsessed with their wings, Ropa Vieja, skirt steak, there's so much to pick from, and it's always delicious. Friendly staff. A must try spot, perfect for date night or family outings and special occasions
My friends and I really enjoyed this Cuban spot! The vibe was fun and lively, and the food was full of flavor. For drinks I had a Moscow mule and it didn’t disappoint. The staff was friendly and provided great service. After hours, there was a DJ playing great music, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a place I’d come back to.
The classic mojito is one of the best around. My son and I had dinner here I got the ropa vieja and it was swell seasoned tender meat. Very delicious. My son got the Bistec De Palomilla. He said it was awesome. Appetizer we got the Picadita really great appetizer.
Had such a great experience at Cubanu in Rahway! The food was absolutely delicious—fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. What really stood out, though, was the owner, Juan. He’s not only attentive and professional but genuinely an outstanding person who makes you feel like family the moment you walk in. You can tell he truly cares about his customers and the experience he provides. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for amazing food and even better hospitality!
My family and I had such a wonderful experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy good conversation, and have a delicious dinner with a drink (or two!). The service was excellent. The staff made sure everything was just right, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The food was delicious. It was well-prepared, and clearly made with care. Their drinks were just as impressive. They have a great selection of cocktails and beer. There’s also a nearby parking lot, which makes visiting stress-free. I also learned that they host special nights with DJ music, which I’m hoping to go to soon!
