Since its opening 20+ years ago, the restaurant has improved its aesthetics while keeping a consistent menu and preserving the cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The owners intend to preserve the restaurant as a local landmark \u2014 in a way that the character of the restaurant has remained exactly the same as the initial founder intended. Although the restaurant accepts walk-ins, we highly recommend making reservations ahead of time, especially on Friday and Saturday nights.

A majority of the dishes are saut\u00e9ed or slow-cooked over a low flame. Most Cuban cooking relies on a few basic spices, such as garlic, cumin, oregano, and bay laurel leaves. Many dishes use a sofrito as their base. Meats and poultry are usually marinated in citrus juices, such as lime or sour orange juices, and then roasted over low heat until the meat is tender and literally falling off the bone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Root <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themontclairgirl.com\/vegan-food-montclair-new-jersey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vegetables<\/a> such as yuca, malanga, and boniato are common staples in the Cuban diet as well. These vegetables are typically flavored with a marinade, called mojo, which includes hot olive oil, lemon juice, sliced raw onions, garlic, cumin, and a little water. Shared spices and cooking techniques from these different countries result in an incredible blend of ingredients, unique flavors, and cultural influences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>See More: <\/strong><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themontclairgirl.com\/latin-restaurant-caldwell-new-jersey-sabor-peru\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><strong>Sabor Peru: A Latin Treasure In Caldwell<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With hundreds of five-star ratings online, the menu here will not disappoint.
