El Vesuvio Restaurant

Every Time I go food is always perfect fresh and done on the spot. I get 2 pieces of flounder, shrimp, cevíche, and yellow rice. They serve allot enough for ¾ people. Total came to about $ 30 not bad at all. Def a

This place is not your maitre’d kind of place. Real authentic Cuban food at a very affordable price. Great place to pick up a meal when on the go or to order for parties. The wait staff is very polite and pleasant. Have been there many a time and my absolute favorite is vaca frita! Love it!!!

The food is ok. It’s good but nothing crazy, it’s good food though. The price is very affordable. The service is great and the place is clean. I’d eat there again

After about a 10 minute way in between receiving food items (that were cold), I was given my main part of the meal, which was chicken, It was disgusting and dry. I asked to speak to who was in charge and he said that I would be recieving a different main plate for the same price, I ordered roast pork, which was not as bad-​but still horrible. I actually created this account due to the lack of respect that that owner has for his customers. I went there with my son and my best friend. My son tried the food and he said’ «mommy, this food is yucky», when he turns down food, there is definitely something wrong. The only thing we ordered that was tolerable was the sweet bananas, and those were not bad but overcooked as well. Then we finished what was edible of the food and got the bill. Ridiculous. $ 27.00 for overcooked, stale food that made me sick to my stomach. I asked the owner why the price was so high when the meals were only $ 5.00 each, we ordered 3. And he said that we changed our order and that the new order cost more, when in the beginning he said that he would give us whatever we wanted for the same price. When I got up with my son to pay, he treated us like criminals, yelling at the top of him lungs to me in front of my son and going outside to lower the metal gate like we were going to «dine and ditch», even though it was a good idea for that rubbish that they called food.

This is the real deal and at prices you cannot get anywhere else!
Been going here for over 20 years and it’s still the best Cuban food I’ve tasted even over the fancy places that I’ve tried.

Cuban Café that serves good food. The place is a hole in the wall. It’s a guy’s joint. 2 things you need to know. Always get the specials of the day, they have a case that shows all the food they have prepared for that day. It ranges from pollo asado to albondigas, (meatballs Spanish style), ropa vieja, fish, meat and potatoes, and a bunch of other things. It comes with rice and beans and yucca. The price ranges from $ 5 to $ 7, $ 5 if you’re a slob and want everything on one plate and $ 7 if you want rice beans and meat separated. The milk shakes are great if that’s your thing. Basically stick to the specials and avoid the menu. If you want to order off the menu then it turns into a meal over $ 10 and for that there are better options on Bergenline.

What El Vesuvio lacks in atmosphere it makes up with great food and prices that can’t be beat. If you love delicious Cuban food, you will love this restaurant. The delightful, pressed Media Noche melts in your mouth and the freshly squeezed carrot and orange juice (Morir Soñando) is delicious!

Some of the best authentic Cuban Food I’ve ever eaten and I would know, I’m Cuban. Service wasn’t the highlight of my time there but the food was excellent and the price is unbeatable.

Good food! Super cheap!
