jane khodosJuly 22, 2017Simply amazing!!! Wow!Everything we ordered was so delicious and memorable. Legit licked every plate clean. Truly worth the trip wherever you are in the tri-state area! 😍
Diego RomeroDecember 17, 2016Very lucky to meet chef Maricel and enjoy the incredible service from her staff. South America in a plate. Just close your eyes and point at anything on the menu. Will go back without a doubt.
Amanda GianninotoJanuary 18, 2015Flavors were delicious in every dish. Skirt steak was a little too chewy for me, though. Guarapita de Aragua for a drink (with passion fruit) was delicious (much better than the pineapple one)!
Ryan RiehleFebruary 1, 2015Great place to meet a friend and chat over some tasty tapas and wine. The service at the bar tends to be better than table service. Outside seating in the summer.
CJ GartlandAugust 14, 2014I'm sad it took me this long to come here. All the food was delicious, and great drinks too. Now I know why it won so many awards. Can't wait to go back!
Scott PfluglerApril 16, 2017Skirt steak was great. Lots of good small plates. Enchiladas were very good and get the beef and spinach ones. Don't forget the quinoa chicken fingers.
Nicole RovigJanuary 30, 2018A really neat restaurant with it’s ambiance and awesome menu. The plantain is excellent! @NicoleRovig
HeenaJuly 25, 2014Great date night spot! Loved the veggie empanadas and crispy bread they give. Hubster loved his salmon!
Annmarie MercieriJune 9, 2012James Beard Award-winning chef Marciel. Rated top 10 best NJ Restaurants. Try the mussels with pork belly entree and the oven chicken. All of the cocktails are incredible.
Alex TorresJuly 13, 2013Great Place, little bit overpriced, but the food and ambient is worth it, Order Mojitos - you will love them!!!
NJ.comSeptember 5, 2012Lots of awards for Cucharamama. Maricel Presilla, the chef behind this restaurant, won a James Beard Award in 2012. New Jersey Monthly named it one of the 25 best restaurants in the state in 2011.
Sherry OSeptember 24, 2010Been here 3 times and it's been amazing every time. Must try entree: braised short ribs. Must try sides: cheesy rice and tamale with bacon (omg) and the ripe plantains with creme fraiche. All so yum!
Lynell LasradoFebruary 29, 2016Wood grilled chicken breast...to die for! And the butter n wood oven baked masala flatbread!!
Cary LawsonMarch 22, 2019Delicious food, wonderful service, cozy vibe, perfect sound level! Worth making the trek!
Max KesslerSeptember 20, 2014Short ribs, shrimp appetizer with the bang bang eggplant and plantain puree. Also do the beef emanates boom
Mike LewisJanuary 15, 2012Soooooooo good. Not cheap by Hoboken standards but you can tell the money goes into good ingredients. Phenomenal for a nice dinner. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Matthew HartsoughApril 14, 2016Great food but line can be long and it's pricey. Brunch is usually less crowded and inexpensive
Karen V.June 5, 2013Amazing colombian tamale, and the short braised rib is soo tender it slips of bone! Thumbs up!
Marston AllenMarch 23, 2012Of you can't be happy eating here you are crazy. Get the duck tamale. Get the roast pork "ceviche". Get anything. Pro chefs. Enjoy !
NY WaterwayJuly 31, 2012Large portions of some of the best Latin American food you will ever taste, stop by if you're in the area.

Katherine FilippiniNovember 14, 2012The braised short rib is a must, but no matter what you get it's probably going to be delicious.
Jonathan OrralaMay 18, 2014Ambiance was alright, but the food was okay especially for the price. You can't find parking anywhere! Had the ceviche, which was just onions tomatoes and some shrimp. I'll pass on a 2nd visit.
Natalie Vargas GarciaApril 29, 2012Churrasco is finger-licking good. Chocolate flan and apple crepes for dessert. Yum!
Kim GlassmanFebruary 20, 2011If you go for brunch, try the eggs with slab bacon. The slab bacon is out of control good!
val bravermanSeptember 3, 2014Don't sit outside! Air conditioner condensation drips from above and pesky gnats all around. Yuck!
Cristina SealesSeptember 29, 2013Food is a little on the expensive side for tapas but good. The service is TERRIBLE!!! Do not make a reservation because they overbook and will not honor it.
