Chango Kitchen

Best restaurant I've been to in YEARS. And I'm talking pre-covid! I would recommend this restaurant in every lifetime. So authentic, homey environment, this took me back to the islands. I haven't felt passionate enough to write a review like how I felt for this place!!

Had a fantastic experience at this Cuban restaurant! The customer service was warm and attentive from the moment I walked in. The atmosphere was lively, with great music that really added to the vibe. The food was absolutely amazing—flavorful, authentic, and served hot and fresh. I was also pleasantly surprised by how reasonably priced everything was. To top it off, the coffee was fresh and bold, the perfect way to end the meal. Highly recommend if you’re looking for delicious Cuban food and a great overall experience!

Being honest, the food here is about three-star-worthy. But the prices. The prices are from 2010, and as long as Chango keeps its menu at those prices, I'm going to keep loving them. Christ on a chopstick, I haven't seen an $8 sandwich since I was in grad school (back when dinosaurs roamed the earth)! We started with the Tamal Cubano, which was fantastically delicious, though the accompanying sauce wasn't hot at all. A shame, because it was well-flavored--just needed a lot more capsaicin. My Cubano was very well done, but barely had any pickle in it, which made me sad. I opted to add fries and wasn't sad about the small, thin ones I got (very McDonald's-shaped). However, the Pechuga de Pollo Adobada con Escabeche de Calabaza was a disappointment. The grilled chicken was drastically ove

This was our first time trying Cuban cuisine and we were impressed. All the dishes we tried were well seasoned and had a really good flavor. The staff was quite attentive and answered all the questions we had. We didn’t know what to order first so we decided to get Plato de Chango which was a big plate of assorted Cuban appetizers. Everything was delicious. Their Cilantro sauce with Yucca fries was so good that we ordered extra sauce on the side. We’d never tasted anything like their Pimiento Piquidillo. It’s a must try if you’re vegetarian. The veg quesadilla was good too. In main, we had Mofongos with Roasted Pork. I felt it was a bit dry to my liking but honestly I’m not sure how you’re supposed to eat it. I will be researching more on that. All in all, we loved dining at Chango Kitchen

Really enjoyed this place. The vibe is super laid-back, the staff is friendly, and it’s a perfect alcohol-free hangout. The food is full of flavor and portions are generous. Compared to other spots in Hoboken, the pricing is very fair. Definitely one to return to.
