Really adorable cafe/tiny restaurant.
The food is good, but a little pricey. They never have hibiscus juice. The staff is nice. It's off the main drag – Washington, so I have a feeling that no one really knows about this place. It's always empty.
I just love sitting here for a quiet lunch and whiling away the hours.
Incredible food, beautiful decor, even a well written Pan Spanish encyclopedia and history written by the Cuban owner of this lovely cafe as well as of Zafras kitchen and La Cucharamama. I would recommend the eggs and chorizo, the ham and cheese on croissant, the turkey meatball sandwich, and the tamales. The coffee com leche is as good as you will find anywhere. The service is warm and polite. Lovely ambiance for brunch, lunch, supper, or coffee with pastries (they have those too! I recommend the biscotti). What a gem to have in our neighborhood!
Had a very good experience here. The atmosphere is fantastic. You can really have the place to yourself in a very quaint looking restaurant.
Some of the food was great, others were just OK. Great service. I would like to go back to try some more food items and just have the overall experience again.
Brought some business associates here for a very late quick lunch. They were a bit dubious about getting food here due to the coffee shop appearance of the establishment, but I insisted.
I ordered a hibiscus chiller. They were intrigued and both sampled the tart fuchsia elixir. Two thumbs up – they ordered the same.
For food, one gentleman selected the tomato soup and tuna sandwich. The sandwich had enormous chunks of tuna in a light vinaigrette with red peppers and onions on their house made bread. His words, "the best tuna sandwich I've ever had."
The other gentleman chose empanadas to start and the steak sandwich. He gobbled it all down in 2 seconds flat, then went back for a chocolate eclair which was inhaled before I even got a good look at it. He wrote down the name of the place to bring his wife back, proclaiming how much she will love it. This is a man who lives in Hoboken but refuses to come south of 6th or west of Bloomfield; a major achievement for an eatery to change his uptown ways!
I had already eaten lunch, so I went with a chicken mole tamale and a slice of vanilla coconut dulce de leche cake. The tamale was tasty but lacked any kick from the mole. The hot sauce they provided was killer and lifted the dish up a notch. The cake was sticky and moist but not clawingly sweet.
I can't speak to the authenticity of the cuisine here, but taste buds don't lie. This place consistently delights everyone I bring and turns doubters into believers.

Came here a few days ago to pick up somethings to take to my friends house warming. They have a lot of cool and different kind of foods.
I ordered the empanadas- beef and chicken. They are small and they make them to order so be prepared to wait a little bit for them to
Be ready.
I also had gotten the chimichurri sauce. If you are going to be ordering anything from there it should be dipped in this!! It's so delicious!!
They have some outdoor seating and the interior is definitely eclectic. I am going to be more adventurous on the next trip over!
Part cafe, part Venezuelan haven, fully divine. Equally compelled by the cozy chic decor and mouth watering food, Ultramarinos is one of my favorite Hoboken secrets. The menu offers an array of tempting choices, my favorite thus far being the meat pies (sound unappealing? You'd be wrong, so wrong). Though note to the management, the food would be over the top if a better method of heating up the food was devised. While part of the charm is the seemingly home cooked, per-prepared cuisine, the dishes are occasionally unevenly or improperly heated, taking away from near perfection.
The fact that I had never been to Ultramarinos until this morning is a god damn shame.
The outside is pretty nondescript and it's easy to miss. Also, the address on Yelp is wrong (that's the address of sister restaurant Zafras.) It's not on Willow, it's on 3rd between Willow and Park.
The place is so tiny and the colorful Latin decor makes it feel authentic and charming. The menu was a lot larger than I expected. My boyfriend and I had the Spanish tortilla sandwich and the Buche (scrambled eggs with tomatos and onions) along with a chicken mole tamale to share which was AMAZING. I also had an iced cafe con leche and it was the perfect ratio of milk to coffee (I hate when it's too milky.)
The two women waitressing/working the counter were all smiles and happy to answer any questions about the menu.
I want to come here every Sunday.
Ultramarinos is a super cute spanish market that also serves pastries, sandwiches, soups, and tamales.
I tried this delicious pastry stuffed with ricotta while I waited for my turkey meatball sandwich.
The Turkey Meatball Sandwich is on this delicious portuguese roll and it is drenched in a tomato and cheese sauce. It was enough sauce to flavor the bread, but not so much that it made the bread soggy. It was a perfect combination of soft, savory, and meaty. It wasn't too salty or too heavy. I highly recommend trying it.
I love tamales, but I didn't feel like tamales that day. I will have to go back.
