About this business

Editorial fromThe food is as lively as the scene at Azucar, where Cuban and Spanish dishes are served with unexpected flair. Steak lovers might find there's even more to love when sirloin is served encendido---strips of it cooked in a hot peppery red…

Not worth it! – This place is over rated and DEFINATELY over priced. The waitress was nice & friendly. My shrimp entree was really disappointing from the price to the portion size to the taste. It cost $22 and for that I got 5 shrimp & a side salad. The taste was blah! After my meal, I asked to speak with the manager. I felt I had to mention that I just had the most expensive shrimp of my life. The only thing I can recall the manager saying to me is well the shrimp are flown in from Panama. I won't be going to this place eve... read more

I love Azucar! – I live in Jersey City and if you want a great neighborhood place to listen to a great band Wed-Friday you've come to the right place. Azucar's owners are very nice and always welcoming to their customers. I gave a party at Azucar and everyone loved the food and the decor. The dining room part is very nice and intimate. I really, really love it here. It's always a great stand by when I don't want to cook because the food definitely tastes as if it came from your g-mom's kitchen. Go to Azucar, I don't think yo... read more

User review by mariajermaine – I recently visited this place. The first thing you should know is that there is no alcohol served at this establishment. So dinner was served with pineapple juice. You can BYOB. The food was ok but definitely nothing to write home about. I had the ropa vieja and was not impressed. I've had better cuban food and because I've had better, I can't recommend this place. If you haven't had really good Cuban food, you probably won't know the difference. The menu does not have much variety. I have dine... read more

Business response:

Sorry to hear that your time here at Azucar was not to your level of satisfaction. I do pride myself on my food so I was taken back by your comment.We have been here since 1995 and I have only recieved great reviews, yes we do not have a L.License and maybe that was the problem. I hope that you will give us a try again in our New place in Jersey City which has a liquor license. Azucar NY is in trademark violation and will be changing soon!

EXCEPTIONAL CUBAN FOOD AND SERVICE – This restaurant is unbelievable! The service is always friendly and courteous and the food is consistently delicious. Whoever says anything other than that is not Cuban and does not know what Cuban food should taste like in the first place!!! This restaurant DOES have a liquor license (there other spot in Edgewater did not) and they make the BEST mojitos in town!!!! 

Business response:

Thank you for those great words, I am sorry for getting back to you so late but I did not know people posted anything here. Also we opened in Dec a new location in Jersey City Nj please stop by .
