    This place is a gem! The Aquacate with picadillo was delicious. My husband had the rabo and it it had multiple layers of flavors that had an enjoyable kick at the end making you taste buds asking for more. The Lechon Asado was so tender that I could cut the meat with a fork. I will definitely be return to explore other Cuban dishes.

    Food and atmosphere were excellent, fantastic food. If I would complain it was that they ran out of a few items on the menu.. But otherwise all good. Definitely will go back.

    The waitress was very dry, not friendly at all. She really lacked personality. Each time we needed something, I had to get up and go look for her. I went there specifically for the snapper, and they ran out. So I had to settle for salmon, which I normally don't order at restaurants. Then I was told the salmon is only non cuban thing on the menu. The salmon was dry, which is why I don't order it when I go out. However, the owner was very nice. So because of him, I will give this restaurant a 2nd chance.

    Had an early dinner, we were the only table there, yet when our food came out, it sat there for a long time while the waiter was talking with the host at the bar. Also, we were erroneously charged for an additional entree that we did not order, good thing we checked the bill before paying. It was adjusted, but leaves a bad impression, it’s not like the restaurant was busy as there was only one other table there by the time the check came.

    The servers and manager were VERY attentive to our allergies. They made a dish for my wife special on a separate pan to avoid a fryer. We’re definitely returning and telling others to visit 1958.

    The food was very good as was the service. The ham croquettes were excellent. I had the oxtails which were the best I have had in a long time. My husband had the pork chops which liked but did not necessarily love. My only criticism is that the place is small and our clothes smelled like food when we got home. However despite that we will definitely be back. Highly recommend 1958.

Unfortunately we did not get our waiter's name...he's Colombian. My husband and I are from Guyana and really enjoyed the conversation and ambiance. Great beef empanadas!!!

    This was our first time at 1958 Cuban and we’ll be back. The food is exceptional. We had folks who were GF and dairy free and all could find appetizers and main course dishes. Desert was impossible for those with food restrictions but they did have excellent espresso and desert wines. Great service too! It’s a small place so be sure to make a reservation.

    We had the Cuban Cuisine appetizer platter, which was good. One entree was the whole fried snapper; which was overdone and dry. The other was salmon, which was also good. Service was passable. Considering we only drank water, I thought it was a bit expensive. I will probably give it another try, but I'm not in a rush to return. Cuban Petes in Montclair is much better.

    So the skirt steak was amazing, as always. I love that it's a byob. I deducted a star for service bc they were a bit slow in getting the champagne open, the ice bucket in place, refilling waters. But we were still happy and would come again (and again)

    Wished I could have had the oxtail again but alas it’s Lent so I went for the Camarones enchilados (I know I did not spell correctly). It did not disappoint. Will be going back after Easter to make up for that missed oxtail!
