Its been awhile since i had a good cuban sandwich. This place make the best cuban sandwiches in Elizabeth. The sandwich was fresh, juicy and huge. My mouth dropped when they brought it to the table. We also had a steak sandwich and tostones with ropa vieja. The ropa vieja was tender,juicy and flavorful all around satisfied with our food recommend

Newly found gem! Cuban & Colombian. Extensive menu. Vegetarian friendly. Take out or dine in. Authentic Cuban restaurant that Elizabeth has been missing for years !! We loved it. The black beans are fabulous, the oxtail is out of this world. Try them. Friendly staff. Parking in rear which is great because they are located on Elizabeth Ave which is known for difficult parking. And of course the cafecito is delicioso!

Happened to stumble upon this place on the way to the airport with my parents and so glad we did. We weren’t sure what we were going to have but my mom know she wanted her “tostones with carne al jugo “ before she left. The owner (whom I didn’t catch her name) was so kind enough to come over to our table before she left for the night, and got my mom her dinner which she enjoyed very much. Aside from that, the cafecito Cubano was the cherry on top! Thanks again for the amazing food, service, and the cafecito! We’re from PA but we’ll be back for sure next time we’re in the area

I ordered the pancakes with eggs and bacon and it was delicious. We also got a bandeha paisa and it was good too. The food took a while to come out but it was worth it.

My wife and I were in the Elizabeth area looking for a Lunch spot. We came across Tu Cafecito Latino. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and seated promptly. It was a Lively and friendly atmosphere coupled with some amazing Cuban Food that was simply delicious. The owner Kenya was so friendly and made a new friend with my wife! Highly recommend this place and we will certainly be back!
