Charming staff at the restaurant even helped us find parking (a problem in Hoboken). Rather than choosing entrees, the two of us decided to do a "tasting" dinner, trying several different appetizers. Each was delicious and well presented. The chef shows a lot of creativity. The chocolate flan and crepe with caramel icecream were great desserts. I'm looking forward to... more

Cucharamama is one of the best restaurants in Hoboken. Situated several blocks west of the busy Washington Street, this spot is really a hidden gem. New Jersey Monthly even named it one of the best Latin restaurants in the state. The service is knowledgeable, quick, and friendly. The prices are comparable to those in Manhattan, but the unique wood-burning oven... more

A few blocks west of Washington Street, corner 3rd St. and Clinton, lies a culinary gem: Cucharamama, loosley translated as "mama's spoon". We have dined the world over and look specifically for "new tastes". Seeing their review in a recently published magazine, "Peak", we thought we'd try the recommended "Caipirinha", which is cachaca with lime juice and the Agentinian chorizo... more

with my choice of restaurants in New York City--this is still one of my favorite places (when I can get in). I think the food and the service are both fun. If you want 5***** L'Espinasse service--don't come here. In fact, don't come to Hoboken. But, for 4**** food (in my opinion) and service to match, I would come here.... more

Despite the rave reviews, the food was marginal at best. Ordered 5 different dishes and only the tamal was decent. The empanadas, black beans + rice, and grilled shrimp are all prepared better at your local Cuban or other Latino restaurants. Nothing notable here in either the preparation or presentation. Desserts were excellent; recommend the bread pudding and the chocolate... more

Have been to eat here several times and enjoyed the food. Some misses -- but generally good. But, the attitude of the hostess and owner will make you think again about giving them your business. Very negative experience -- like they are doing you a favor to let you eat there. more
