Zona de Cuba featured on Urbanoire

Filled with passion and fire, Zona de Cuba is a Bronx rooftop restaurant serving a menu of first-class Cuban cuisine. We loved the croquetes, seafood paella, mofongo, and pan-seared chicken breast, especially because they all came with the essential accoutrements–platanos maduros or fritos, savory black beans, yuca, and more.

Where to Explore Cuban Culture in NYC

Grab a drink at the Bronx’s Zona de Cuba (558 Grand Concourse), its colorful, plant-filled rooftop outdoor patio offering views of the city skyline. Lounge on plush rainbow seats while sipping a mojito criollo or glass of sangria, or enjoy brunch, lunch, or dinner underneath the twinkling stringed lights and shaded umbrellas. The space is just as airy and lush inside too, bedecked with sparkling chandeliers and filled with plants set against a black-and-white-tiled floor. There’s live music and dancing too.

Customer Comments

This place was amazing, ambient was great, staff, cleanliness, music & drink was unbelievable. We had a party of 20 including kids. I would recommend.

I've been coming to this restaurant for some time and it never disappoints. I recently held a birthday dinner and I must say the assistant manager Alexander Chan did a more than wonderful job at setting up the entire night. The food was divine, the decor was exquisite, and the music was dope. The waiter Eduardo was attentive and always made the best recommendations. My guests loved the birthday dinner and now they all want to have their birthdays at ZDC (copycats lol). I owe everything to Alexander Chan and I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to hold an event. Thank you to Alexander, Eduardo, and ZDC for making my special night memorable and PERFECT!!! 🙂

This place is amazing! The prices are fair for the experience! When i went there was a live band and the wait experience is meant for queens! The staff had us wait in the most exquisite waiting area and w we had access to the bar. My wife enjoyed the bar and the great photo opportunity and let may say there were many! The seats themselves were beautiful and we had a great view of the sunset and the moonrise. The presentation of the food was great and the ingredients were the freshest available. My wife is hard to please and she was very pleased. I recommend the chupame la piña! They had every premium alcohol! The owner has created a great experience!

I went on a Sunday and the service was fast. This place is beautifully decorated and makes you feel like you’re in Miami. The food was good. Upper scale so its in the higher price range. Live band after 7pm. Awesome music out in the patio area. Easy parking. Safe.
