Croqueteria

Hadn’t been here in a while, but was craving a Cubano and recalled that the sandwiches here were excellent partly because they didn’t feature any cold cuts—all roast pork here. Unfortunately, since my last visit in 2024 the restaurant has since begun using sliced deli ham (in addition to their terrific roast pork) on their Cubanos, so what was once a remarkable sandwich is now just pretty good. Next time I will probably ask them to leave the sliced ham off.

Incredible, authentic, and quaint place! I was pleasantly surprised to find that the croquetas weren’t so greasy that the fat seeped onto my fingers or into the napkins. Cuban sandwich is perfectly thin and crispy, not like other Cuban sandwiches that leave you feeling overly stuffed. The only drawback for me was their lack of vegetarian options; the exact day we visited they were out of the only vegetarian sandwich. Pablo is very friendly :)

We got a free of the croquettes here, and they were good! We got a pumpkin one for the Halloween season and a ham one. Both were very good and fresh. Cute shop overall, and definitely recommend checking it out. There's not much seating inside though.

Authentic cod fish croquets are delicious and Cuban is bomb, best in town!!! Pickles are crunchy, ham and pork super high quality w crispy fresh baguette, highly recommend! The owner, Pablo, is super friendly, had a great chat and very welcoming to the neighborhood.

Cuban sandwich is delicious. They cook their own pork for this sandwich, and it is amazing. Very friendly owners. A couple small tables inside and one outside. Very nice place!

My wife and I made this our first stop on our trip from Brooklyn to Ithaca. - Staff was very friendly and courteous. - Food tasted great. We had the Cubano sandwich, steak sandwich, chicken croquet, cafecito, and flan. I'm usually not a fan of Cubano sandwiches but this one hit the spot. Steak sandwich and flan were good. - The cafecito was really great. I loved the taste and strong it was. - The two store owners and us chatted during the downtime. They are lovely folks. - We'll definitely stop by next time we're in Sleepy Hollow. - We recommend Croqueteria!

I'm cuban born!!!! Finally came to this place The croquetas...are absolutely authentic, super delicious and flavorful!! Ham, and chicken wow very yummy!! And the chef and owner has his new creation of guava and cream cheese croquetas...this was a first for me but WOW this was omg delicious delicious!!!!!!

Must try!! We had Cuban sandwich and croquette (chorizo and ham). The roast pork in the sandwich was of course home made and flavorful. Croquettes were FRIED for ORDER in front of me. Super good. They also offer Cuban breakfast which I want to try next time. The owner was super nice. Their Open kitchen is clean. We will come back for sure!

I was extremely disappointed with my visit to Croqueteria. I had such high hopes from the reviews and was immediately let down as soon as I walked in the door. Was greeted with basically a frown and made to feel like I was there to solicit for something "Can I help you with something"... I immediately said, well, yeah, I'm here to order food... LOL. We also couldn't use the restroom (after a 2 hour drive), even though we were patrons... The best part...the croquettes were some of the worst. The only salvageable one was the spinach and feta and even that was bland. The chicken one tasted like dog food and made my sister and I feel ill. Even my daughter couldn't finish the sweet pumpkin one. So, overall.... on top of the unwelcoming attitude and inedible food..... I would never recommend.

This spot is a gem and the service is always on point. Chicken croquette is to die for. Absolute must try!!

Steak sandwich without the steak! $16 for bread! I Was expecting a little more meat than that but they told me it's skirt steak and that's what you get.

Easily the Best Cuban sandwich in New York. And I've been looking for a while ever since I last visited Florida Go for it!!!

Croqueteria is a super unique shop near Tarrytown, which features *wait for it* ....croquettes (a.k.a. croquettas)! ...and I can personally attest: They offer up some pretty tasty ones at that! Croqueteria has all the typical flavors you have known to grow and love (or possibly grew up with)--namely, ham and cheese, chicken, fish, and potato. Then there's the specialty ones: spinach and cheese, crab meat, black bean, and pumpkin (yes, for the fall time)! They change up their special croquettas often. Besides their namesake, Croqueteria also serves up other cuban delights--cuban sandwiches, ropa vieja, cuban sodas, etc. One final shout out to the staff! They were al super friendly and very helpful. Be sure to check Croqueteria if you are nearby!! Eat some for now and take even more home! You'll be glad you did.

What an absolute treat. We popped in here a couple of days ago on a whim, the wife needed to spend some amex money to get her airline points, and they made the list. So we walked over, and got ourselves two sandwiches. Both owners, or the owner and his mom where there and we had a lovely chat about NYC, trains, earthquakes and the joys of snow when we were kids. I got the pulled pork sand, and she got the Cuban, which may be their signature. Both were extremely tasty, and when I sent my brother the picture below he replied, why haven't you taken me here, so next time we will. They have a wide assortment of croquettes which we didn't try, but we are keen to next time. Overall, wonderful experience, people and food, and if you're in the area you should pop in.

food was cold and nasty made me throw up multiple times im thinking about suing cause of food poisoning

A bit pricey but the food was decent. Half of the croquetas were still cold in the center though (I assume one type had to be fried directly from the freezer?). Was already at least a mile away when we found out. I won't be harsh because they clearly are trying their best and accidents happen to the best of us.

I had lunch here yesterday with my husband and loved the croquetas. I grew up in Miami eating homemade ones all the time since my parents are both from Cuba. I live in Connecticut now and it was great to find this place while we were exploring Sleepy Hallow. I'll be back to try more of their food soon!

This place is a hidden gem for authentic Cuban treats. I am Cuban and I have been craving croquetas since I came to this country and I felt so lucky to discover it. The flavors are amazing, the place feels welcoming and home like. Niurka and her family are very nice. Talking with her was like going back and meeting a friend. Very recommended if you're around.

¡Ay dios mío! Croqueteria delivers on comida Cubana y más! My mom and I went and the service, atmosphere, food and location are excelente! We had a couple of croquetas and then ordered 6 more because they were soooo good. Also shared a Cuban sandwich... the bread and ingredients super fresh and pressed just right! Everything is clean and nearly decorated. As my mom and I are Cubanas, we really enjoyed a great treat to talk with the owners about nyc, the weather, and of course good cooking. There was a family visiting from Pennsylvania and we all joined in conversation... just an all around super time. Giving five stars but would give MORE if I could. I'll definitely be returning soon!

This is a great little spot to stumble upon in Sleepy Hollow. It's a hole in the wall, which to me is an endearing description, with 2 little tables inside and 2 outside. The staff is very friendly and you can tell they are happy to serve you. The Cuban sandwich was really good, probably the most authentic of its kind that I've had. Pork, ham, pickles, mustard, cheese pressed on good bread served wrapped in newspaper which is a cool touch. The croquets were also very good, with my favorite being the guava & cheese. I really liked this place and will definitely be stopping back in.

Best cubanos around ! Authentic! Simple menu for a small joint. Four different sands and a handful of croquet flavors. Food is delicious! Friendly owners. Perfect size sands

A little Cuban food takeout shop featuring a wide variety of croquettes, from savory to lightly sweet, all delicious and perfectly fried to order. They also have sandwiches and other traditional Cuban fare, but we made the trip for the croquetas, beckoned by their confident name and they did not disappoint. The owners are super friendly and eager to fry you up some to-go goodness, so go pay a visit!

Bona fide authentic Cuban croquetas! With the most delicious unique flavors. Get em fresh and hot. Niurka and Pablo are the nicest people! Must try!!!!

A small, cute restaurant for Cuban croquetas and sandwiches that also serves coffee and sodas. We stopped by when we were walking around Sleepy Hollow and were happy we did. We got the croquetas that were available- the Havana, ham, chicken and feta/spinach, along with the pineapple soda and Materva Yerba mate soda. So good! It is owned by a family and they are super kind. Definitely stop by for a quick bite- or get one of their sandwiches!

Oh, HELL YEAH! The best REAL Cuban sandwich this side of Havana! My new simple go-to (and just under 30 minutes from Peekskill)! Stumbled on today while in Sleepy Hollow. "The best Cuban sandwich Jerry, the best!" I ordered a chorizo croquette with my sandwich and the owner's son brought me another kind to try as well. Loved so much I bought one of each (5-total) to take home and re-heat! I should have bought 'a couple' of each! Had a can of Cuban soda for the first time too. Easy in and out street parking (2-blocks from Sleepy Hollow H.S.). Small place with an immaculately clean kitchen and prep area. Can't wait to go back... TOMORROW!

I went here with my parents last weekend and we absolutely loved it. very pleasant and quaint atmosphere with such friendly staff (i love that it's family-owned too!). there were enough croquette options for the 3 of us to each try different flavors (i got the ham and the picadillo). the croquettes are fried when you order so they come out hot and freshly crispy. they were all super delicious and filling. i also got a cafe con leche which was great too! everything was reasonably priced. just great vibes overall and now i'm excited to be hooked on a new kind of food i might not have thought about otherwise. i can't wait to come back and try the sandwiches!

Great food and very clean place. The family that owns it is very friendly and takes pride in their food. So happy I found this place as there aren't many Cuban restaurants in Westchester. I'll be back to eat my way through the menu!

Stumbled on this place while looking at online listings. My wife is Cuban and grew up on croquettes. We went with our son and had Cuban sandwiches and Jamon and Havana croquettes (someone had bought *all* their ropa vieja sandwiches for game time). Everything was delicious. Cannot wait to go back!

I'd give more stars if I could!! We went for croquetas and not only were they amazing, we tried the sandwiches and they were just as delicious. Croquetas we're just like Mima use to make years ago....authentic, fried to order, and lightly friend!! Couldn't get enough, we took more home for dinner! We will definitely be back.

My family and I were so excited to try this place. We drove all the way from Queens to enjoy a day of events in Sleepy Hollow for Halloween theme events. When we arrived to Croqueteria, there was a line outside the door which we thought this place must be as great as we thought! However, when we finally got to the counter, we were told that there were only 3 types of croquetas left and no cafe con leche ( coffee with milk) which is a Cuban staple. I grew up in Miami, and in every cafeteria, they sell coffee and cortadito. By that time we were so hungry, we just got what was available. The croquetas we got tasted so bland and we were so disappointed. It would have been helpful if we knew most items were sold out and we would have probably left and not waited. It was just a disappointing experience. The only two people working there appeared to be the owners ( son and mother). Probably will not return here.

Best Croquetas in NY, family owned, can't be nicer or more accommodating. Totally worth the trip, and I'm in brooklyn! Have now been here almost a dozen times, and never ever disappoints!!!

Being a lover of the real style Cuban Sandwich, Croquerteria hits it spot on. It's a must try for the Cuban food lover.

Amazing Cuban sandwich! And the steak sandwich was delicious! Highly recommend and next time I'm in the area Croqueteria will be a place to stop by!

Their croquettes are amazing, especially the Havana, the Cuban sandwich is authentic, but above everything they service and food quality was superior!! We will definitely be back!

Awesome Cuban cuisine and for me a taste of home while traveling thru the Hudson valley!! It was such a welcome sight and while currently there's no seating inside we took our environmentally friendly containers and found a spot with a view of the bridge over the Hudson to have dinner. The owners were extremely accommodating and the next time I'm thru Sleepy Hollow I'll be back!!

My family and I recently went to Sleepy Hollow for the first time to explore and the best find was this family owned and operated establishment. The warmth we were welcomed with made us feel at home as soon as we stepped inside. The savory dishes literally made us ask for more. A definite must go if you are anywhere in the vicinity.

Delicious croquetas and the BEST Cuban sandwich ! Gracias por su amabilidad y por la croquetas deliciosas!

Such a great spot! I went with my mom, a certified cubana, and we loved it. The croquetas are to die for, and so high quality. (The cod ones were my favorite). Everything is so fresh and well-made, super authentic, and better than anything you'll find in Miami. So glad I got to chat with the family who owns this place! Such genuine, sweet, and charismatic people! Espresso estaba delicioso :)

Food was pretty delicious. Cod croquete could use a little more crab meet but it was good. I had a Cubano, an Avocado sandwich (fresh) and cod croquetas.

absolutely delicious and friendliest owners! the flan is also one of the best i've ever had

THIS IS THE REAL THING!! Best Cuban spot in both Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow. I recommend a ropa vieja sandwich Will be back for some croquetas!

Amazing food and friendly owners! Constantly changing specials and different foods to try.

I have never been to Sleepy Hollow before, but I did live in Miami, and this place is the real deal! It was so delicious I had to stop myself from ordering 5 Cuban sandwiches to go to eat for the rest of the week! It's owned by a lovely family, Mom even makes the flan! I suggest you stop reading this, and head there now before they close!

So so so delicious. Had croquetas, pulled pork sandwich, flan, and espresso. Food was very good and the owners were so nice. Cute little spot and so glad I tried it on a whim!

Been wanting to try this place since it opened but my schedule never lined up with theirs. Until today. And it DIDNOT disappoint. The sandwich of the day was ropa vieja and MAN!!! Was it good!! It hit the spot. I haven't had ropa vieja in years and never as a sandwich. What a delight!! The croquetas were amazing!! Got the mushroom and ropa vieja and should have bought more than 2 each. I love how it's a small and simple menu, I don't think you can make a bad choice. Can't wait to go back and try more croquetas. Buena Suerte!!

Love this place! Just stopped by for a hot avocado and cheese sandwich. The avocado was super fresh. And tried the spinach croquette. Picture that delicious creamed spinach side dish at old style steakhouses piping hot in a light, crispy shell. Perfect. Will be back!

Fantastic Cuban sandwich worth waiting for, served up by a super nice guy. Best of luck!
