Latin Diner

I'm a Cuban who's lived here for 3 years, and I hadn't heard of this place until today. I loved the delicious food and the excellent service. I highly recommend it.

Excellent food, huge menu, excellent quantity for price, and friendly staff. Will def go back next time I’m in asbury.

This place is a great addition to the neighborhood because most of the Latin options are Mexican and who doesn’t love tacos but this just hits different. The restaurant itself is just great vibes and the location is open and has great lighting and ample seating outside and inside. It’s not a fancy place with table clothes but just a nice, clean and home cooked feel kind of place. The food selection was awesome! Every day they have a different menu so it never a gets repetitive or boring. Everything we ordered was well seasoned and cooked with love. They have great empanadas, releno de papa, chicarron, croquettes if you are looking for a little snack. They have great desserts and also many drink options. They have a fresh juice stand where they press the juice to order and everything is out in the open so you can see what they are doing. The staff was so cool and all had smiles and welcomed us. The portions are great and you will not be left hungry. Looking forward to eating here again.

We are visiting relatives and stopped by during their 2nd birthday celebration. Samples of the Cuban sandwich and arepa were excellent. So much so that we took a piece of fish and Cuban rice home for dinner and they were even better. The diner is a gem. Lots of choices and they all look excellent. Give them a chance.

First time stopping in today and it was really nice! Super clean and friendly and the food was delicious! I tried a whole fried fish which always seemed exotic and I’ve wanted to try that somewhere for some time. I was very pleased with it! Also nice to know there is a spot for little grab and go handhelds in their warmer here. Thank you!

This place was a pleasant surprise! They were only open a week when i stopped by but they were on top of everything. The service was good. Lots of smiles and the food was freshly made and sooo good and really inexpensive for the amount if food you get! The black beans were yummy but I went back the very next day for the chicken empanadas!!! We got dine in but took it outside to enjoy, so I had leftovers ready to go. I wish them well and hope they're still open the next time I make it down the shore!

Really like this place ! Good food, great value and fun to sit outside and eat your meal or take it home .

Amazing prices ! Great serving sizes and the quality of food is excellent! I have had breakfast here eggs bacon coffee and juice 7 bucks!!!! Amazing. And dinner is authentic Latin food just like my dad and grandma cooked it!

3 of us went for a late lunch. We had the goat, Piccadillo, yucca, Maduros, rice and beans with black beans on top. We had 3 sodas. The bill for 3 was $23!! And we had some food left to take home. Very nice people working there and the the food was delicious, with generous portions. They also have a fresh squeezed orange juice machine. I plan on getting takeout in the future.

This food is sooo good. We got two platters to go, two waters, 4 empanadas, and an iced tea and all that cost me $29. It's sooooo much food and it's good! The people were so kind. They speak English and Spanish. I heard it's Cuban food but i didn't ask today when i went. I didn't see anything either that indicated any nationality or ethnicity. Either way the food is good. Ambience is good. It's small in there. I personally wouldn't eat there but there were a couple people eating there at like "bar tables" They aren't really bars but just high tables and stools to sit at. No alcohol here. BUT there is plenty of outdoor seating. It's also very clean here. Only reason I'm not giving 5/5 is because I felt my pernil was a little on the dry side. Also the chicken wasn't flavorful. Other than that, I'm absolutely eating here again.

Food is really good. Poor lady in there does all the counter work herself. Sometimes she has a good helper and sometimes the help is useless. Owner just watches her struggle and collects the money out of the register. Tuff to wait on line and watch all this go down but food is awesome

Amazing!! This place is a must if you are in the area. Authentic latin food made with love. Wish this place was in all US as I don't live here. Prices and food quality are the best! A true gem! Thank you for making food great again!

This almost hidden spot has great food and service for an amazing price to dine in or takeout!

Delicious food. Best Cuban sandwiches in New Jersey (other than Union City). Folks are terrific to deal with and never a long wait.

Loved it. The best Cuban sandwiches, and the stews are so perfect. The servers are also so patient and kind to newcomers. Made us feel like regulars.

What a great experience - food was absolutely delicious and the service was fantastic! Highly recommend.

have been here several times ..... it never disappoints! Flavorful, clean, friendly staff, affordable, more than enough portion size and desserts to die for (flan, tres leche cake)

I used to love to go there. The food is delicious and affordable. However, the last 3 times I went, on Wednesday, they never have enough of my favorite,, the beef stew and I find that absolutely ridiculous. They are always out of it and used to always have it. I went a couple of times around 7 pm and they were out. I went today at 5:00 pm,, and again, they are out. Owner, PLEASE have your staff make enough beef stew for your customers. I can't understand how you run out of it even at the start of dinner time. You lost a customer but I hope for others you pay attention to having enough of your entrees. Very very disappointed.

Great... small place, eat in or take out. food is delicious. Very nice people too. I love it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

This is a small restaurant in a former Sonic location in front of a Latin Supermarket. They serve Daily Specials and a la carte. I stopped in last Thursday for the Ropa Vieja and it was amazing!!! Please keep the Chef, he knows how to cook authentic Cuban food. On Mondays they serve Picadillo which is also very good. You can order Cuban sandwiches and other a la carte items. Their empanadas are Cuban empanadas and the guava and cheese ones are perfect. And best of all, you can't beat the prices. The Daily Specials include rice and beans and another side, the plantains are very good but the Yucca in mojo is delicious. You can eat in at either communal tables or they have a counters running both sides of the restaurant., But there is not a lot of room for a large family. They have a booming take out business.. Parking is NOT a problem.
