Jersey City Cuban Catering Company Moves To Take-Out
Casa Cubana in Jersey City's Heights celebrated its grand opening into the take-out world.
JERSEY CITY, NJ — A Cuban-style catering company based in Jersey City is branching out into the take-out world and celebrated its official grand opening with city officials last week.
Casa Cubana Catering is located at 1007 Summit Avenue and originally opened a few years ago as a catering company but late 2020 the company started renting its space in the Heights to test drive the take-out café concept. Its initial success laid the groundwork for the eventual grand opening.
The new Summit Avenue location is called Casa Cubana Express and offers daily specials, empanadas and Cuban coffee. Orders can be placed online and are available for takeout/delivery & curbside pickup.

"Inspired by our grandmother who taught us how to cook, we share with you our take on traditional Cuban dishes passed on through the decades," the website reads.
