This place is great… reminds me of Cuba or at least what I would think Cuba is like!
Seriously, the food is great here. Not really a sit down spot but super for takeout. I’m a big fan of the empanadas and the burritos (very fresh). Nice break from pizza or Chinese!

Ordered food to go maybe 3xs so far. The food quality us good. Although, i’m not a fan of their Chicarron style, but their empanadas are the best! They have all kinds of empanadas! Take a look. Enjoy.

Never experienced Cuban food before, but this place does it right. I had a huge meal for only $ 5.00 and it was so good. I will be going back!

Love their lunch specials!
Where else can you grab a quick, homemade meal for $ 6 that fills you up and leaves you with enough leftovers for another meal?!
The roast pork is incredible; always super tender and flavorful. I’ve had the pleasure of trying both the red and black beans and they are so good, sometimes I can’t choose!
The burritos are massive, you won’t need anything else along side, but if your famished, an empanada is the perfect addition! Always fresh and plenty of flavor options, they’re a must have for the kids!
I can’t say enough about the food, and the delivery is super quick to boot!
A+ every time!

As a Cuban food newbie, I was blown away by Cuban Eddie’s. After being bored by the usual takeout restaurants, Eddie’s is an exciting discovery. The white bean soup was a party in my mouth with lots of chunks of smoked ham and potatoes. The small portion was HUGE. The empanadas were very tasty – we tried a bunch of them. The croquettes were yummy. My wife had the Cuban salad (#3) which was loaded with fresh ingredients and a TON of Cuban ham. The only disappointment was my Cuban sandwich. It was sad and tasteless. No much inside. I’ve had better in local diners and delis. I can’t wait to explore the rest of their menu. The staff was friendly and our takeout was nicely packaged.

Great Food, hopefully they can maintain the prices and quality such as the brown rice.

I grew up eating Cuban food every day. While Cuban Eddie’s is decent, it is no way as wonderful as so many have attested.
The Piccadillo is so greasy as to be barely edible. The Ropa Vieja is tasteless. Their saving grace are their empanadas (though even they are a bit oily) and platanos maduros.
If you want real Cuban food, go to Rumba Cubana. Then compare!

Great meal, we ordered the chicken sandwich, the roasted chicken with rice and empanadas, the flan and plantains — all awesome and all nice portions. They accept credit cards for $ 15+.

Love, love, love. Food here is great and consistent. Great ropa vieja, maduros, yuca, rice and beans and don’t forget the empanadas. Thanks Cuban eddies!!! Keep it up.

Food is great, so authentic. After moving to the burbs from NYC and being completely disappointed with the take out options and lack of Seamless Web presence, this was a great find. The roast pork and Cuban sandwich are our go to dishes. I have to say though, the people working the counter are not the brightest, you really have to spell out what you want and then check to make sure they get it right before you leave. Also, allow some extra time when they are getting slammed with the lunch and dinner rush and call your order in ahead. Small price to pay for super authentic Cuban food that transports you to Miami when you eat it.

I live in River Vale & have had food from here 6+ times in the past year. Just wanted to say how great & affordable the food is. Hope they can make it & last in my small town.

Nice little neiborohood ‘dive’. Pot roast and shredded beef are delicious. Empanadas are a ‘bomb’… always get a bunch when I visit. Prices are very reasonable. The only issue is the wait on weekends can be loooong (up to 1 hr). Also, sometimes they run out of food… said that, a great little place, well priced and very tasty.

I tried this place after my mom brought some of the leftovers home. Her and her colleagues work at the local hospital and often order from this place. Let me just say, that it amazing.
The food is something you wont find easily in North Jersey. This food is incredible, its fresh, and they have very good prices. You cannot beat it.
The roast pork is so tender, the empanadas are amazing, the flan is incredible!
You can have a lunch here for 10 bucks and be satisfied with the portion and the quality.
People are very nice and the menu has so many options. Highly recommend.

I love Cuban food since I first tried it as a kid. I Have eaten here twice in two days and love it. I had the Cuban chicken parm and a side of fried plantains the first visit. Delicious.
Second visit I tried the breaded steak and yellow rice with black bean sides. Fantastic. Just like eating at my best friend’s house when I was growing up. I will be back especially to try the ox tail and other specials.
I live 5 minutes away and it will be hard to stop coming here to eat — guess I’ll have to work out more often!

Now coming back to try their ox tail, it was worth the return. The ox tail is only available on Thursday and it sells fast so at 10:30 AM this morning I called and ask them to save me one dinner sized order. I showes uped at 6:30 PM to pick up and was not disapointed.
The ox tail was meaty, no fat and in gravy that went deliciously with the yellow rice and beans. Service was as nice, friendly as the first time. Still way too hot to eat in as they have no air conditioning but I was just picking up so the 2 fans they had running was enough to get me through the minor wait for my order.
I also had their rice pudding, it was good but really sweet. You can taste the condensed milk and chunks of rice. Perfect for finsihing my dinner.
Ox tail on Thursdays is sad as you can only have one time a week. I will try their other specials and write back.

This place is great. Food is delicious and the Cubano sammiches are as authentic as you can get. The empanadas where fresh made, and the staff is super friendly.
Great authentic Cuban food and the prices are good.
They also have delivery which is a great addition to the standard Chinese, pizza offerings in the area.
Highly recommend!

So finally checked it out.
My first review was happiness to find a Cuban restaurant.
My second review is tasting .
I bought 3 beef empanadas
1 cheese empanadas
Ground beef
And Moro which is black pea rice
It was good. and I wish these guys good luck and that they continue to diversify the food in Rivervale nj.
There is nothing but many fast food crap up here.
Very few ethnic places.
Cuban Edie’s good luck with your business up here .I will be back again
