Ultramarinos

Went for breakfast and had a great experience! Ordered the huevos con jamon and a cappuccino, everything was delicious. The staff was very friendly and the food came quickly. Plus the interior is adorable. Will definitely be going back again!

Our new favorite breakfast/​brunch place in Hoboken. Cozy, food is terrific and café con leech nice and strong. Haven’t been here for lunch, but reading the other reviews, should give it a try.

I really like this place and when I tell everyone about it nobody had ever heard of it. Must need to do a better job of marketing.
Cozy atmosphere and has a nice back room where you can sit with friends. I’ve been here a bunch of times for coffee (which is really good and strong). I’ve come here a couple times for lunch and had sandwiches which were really good.

This place is really cute inside. I only did takeout but definitely look forward to going back and dining in. If you want real hot chocolate and not the powder stuff, come here and try it. It’s very rich and a nice treat. We also tried 3 different tamales and they were very different from one another but great flavor. Come here, if you want something different, and not the usual same spots in Hoboken.

My favorite spot in Hoboken! BYOB, delicious food, cute and cozy atmosphere and affordable prices!

this is my FAVORITE hidden gem in town! I go a few times a week. My favorites are the steak sandwich or the turkey meatball sandwich. Whatever is in the garlic sauce is AMAZING!!! The décor is like an old school Spanish grandmas kitchen. They have a great selection of homemade pastries as well. Great café con leche and spiced hot coco! everything is hands down DELISH!

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.

My sister and I have been in Hoboken for the past 9 months. We are pretty frequent at Zafra… and we used to pass by this little place all the time. Given that we have 3 months left we decided to start exploring other places. Read the reviews on Unilocal about this place and decided to give it a shot… and OMG. Food is amazing! We tried la tortilla española and the butifarra sandwich — both really good choices. Ambient is great too and decorations make you feel as if you were at a cute local southamerican place. We will definitely be back :)

I don’t post often but I had to play about this place. I’ve always walked past it and wondered what it was like. I’ve read a few reviews and thought I’d drop in.
I couldn’t decode what to order between the multiple desserts and the items on the menu.
I ordered the beef empanada. The pastry was nice and flaky and the ground beef with tomato sauce was perfect. The Asian Cabbage salad was nice and refreshing on an 85 degree day while the Guaro Steak Sandwich was surprisingly rich! The steak was cooked perfectly and though I knew I should only have half the sandwich I ravaged the entire thing without hesitation.
I came for lunch but knowing that it is BYOB will definitely make me come back more often and make me hesitate walking past this place again!

Stumble down to Hoboken’s best kept secret. Charming décor, delicious fun, and hospitable staff. Screams authenticity. Perfect for a date, catch up session with a friend, and a very intimate group gathering. I’d recommend sit down, relax, and take it all in.

We had been meaning to try this place for a while as we always walked by and said how cute it was! Finally went today for lunch and it was ok — I would try again, but they were out of basically everything! It was only noon! Hubby got two tamales — the Cuban (super yummy) and the chicken mole (not much flavor besides chicken, didn’t really taste mole). I ordered the pumpkin soup (good but sweet, couldn’t really taste the chiles) and a slice of tortilla which I was told wasn’t ready yet, so I said I could wait and eat my soup first and she said ok. We both got the hibiscus drink which was quite tart. We sat down and everything came fairly quickly. But then another table ordered the tortilla and she said it wouldn’t be ready for one or two HOURS. Say what?! So after eating my soup, I went up to the counter to try to order something else and basically they were out of everything. Disappointing but I would be willing to try again — but probably I would call first!!!

Not only is the shop inside adorable, but their customer service is excellent. I called up frantic this afternoon because I needed to prepare dinner for 10 people and was suddenly pressed for time. Within hours Ultramarinos put together a delicious sandwich platter that was a real crowd pleaser

We stumbled upon this place walking by and decided to go in. It was ran by a single woman thus slow, but the service was very friendly. The menu itself is about 6 dishes big for breakfast. I had the Spanish tortilla sandwich, which was eggs, potatoes and a creamy sauce that tasted similar to thousand island dressing. The sandwich itself was amazing and very affordable (6). They also have a couple coffee drinks. I tried the iced café con leche and that was also good. Definitely recommended for breakfast if you have time on your hands.

Delicious, authentic food. The tomato soup is phenomenal and my boyfriend was super impressed with the turkey meatball sub. If you happen to be nearby, I highly recommend stopping by!

Incredible food, beautiful décor, even a well written Pan Spanish encyclopedia and history written by the Cuban owner of this lovely café 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!

Their steak sandwich is ridiculously delicious! Even when you ask the server what to get they don’t even hesitate to say steak sandwich. They bake their bread in house (comparable to bread baked in Brooklyn) and put a creamy garlicky sauce on it– the steak is sliced into strips and literally melts in your mouth. I would’ve given them 5 starts but they have the slowest service ever. Dine in or take out is slower than slow. I only go when I know I have an entire day to kill. Great place overall!

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 éclair 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 6^th 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.

Really adorable café/​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.

I stopped by to try the coffee. They didn’t carry cream. The éclair was great. Inside the shop is nicely decorated with kitchenware. There are enough seats to fit around 15 people so you don’t have to worry about finding a table. No WiFi unfortunately.

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.
