“I like the place, it's definitely as advertised Dominican food. I had a steak and onion meal and it was fairly good. The cut had a little muscle which normally you don't get with that cut but it was fine. They only had two avocados and they were not ready so they didn't serve them which was nice but it would have been nice if they had it. The drink selection is somewhat Limited, and they do not have a liquor license.The server spoke English in Spanish was gentle on the eyes and attentive to our needs. Perfect service.The place at the time was somewhat empty for no good reason maybe it just looked that way because it's very large. The area is very clean and was comfortable to eat in. I like how many windows there are.Parking: There are meters outside which depending on the time you may or may not have to pay.Wheelchair accessibility: Entering and seating appears to be wheelchair accessible“
“The food was artistically presented and delicious. Service was attentive without being intrusive. Ambiance casual yet classy. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves in terms of the absolute artistry this place has in presentation of its delicious food.“
“My husband and I went to eat here last night and we loved it. Very delicious food and very beautiful presentation. The restaurant was full and they were a little understaffed, so it took a long time for the food to arrive, but the owner was so kind and thoughtful to give us everything we ate that night for free and also gave us a bottle of wine. I wish I would've asked him his name, but very nice guy. We are definitely coming back soon.“
“Happy with the Hackensack branch, before I had to drive 20 minutes now I have it close to home. The food is delicious and what I love most are their juices and smoothies..!! If you are on a diet, it has green juices and healthy smoothies. If not, I recommend my favorite, which is sapote or Mamey..!! The girls are nice, good service, super clean. Recommended 100%Dietary restrictions: Well I see that it has green juices, although I don't like them...!! But those who want healthy smoothies this is the place.Parking: Well, it has about 14 parking spaces, I don't think I counted them correctly, but the good thing is that I always find parking.Kid-friendliness: The portions are perfect for the little ones in the house, the empanadas and the yucca buns I know they love them.“
“What a treat! This was our favorite typical "casado" meal while on our two week trip in Costa Rica! The herbed lemonade was fresh and delicious, and vegetarian casado plates creative and very fresh. The house homemade mango pepper sauce was delicious! The two women who ran the restaurant were so friendly and even let us take their photograph! Very clean, cute atmosphere. Highly recommend!“
“Best pork shoulder I've had in a long time from any restaurant. Everything is on point! Nice and clean restaurant as well. Great atmosphere to dine in. Will be back soon. Definitely recommend.The most delicious pork I have eaten in a long time that came from a restaurant. The black beans and rice and even the yellow ones were perfect. Good atmosphere to eat inside and everything is also very clean. I definitely recommend it and will return later.“
“Delicious Dominican food! The people working here are super nice, very helpful and just having a lot of fun in general which just makes the food taste better. Eating here was a great experience and I highly recommend anyone to eat here because Mary can COOK!“
“The food is amazing! Fresh and delicious. We are very impressed by the quality of food at a small restaurant like this. We love the spaghetti with string beef, seafood platter, and mussel ceviche. Everything is beyond our expectation. Quality food, good portion, and very reasonable pricing. Probably not a romantic atmosphere but definitely good for family and casual dining. We will be ordering many times on DoorDash in the future“
“Saw great reviews. Decided to order some lasagna. Beef lasagna has rich flavor, pls be mindful the portions are tiny); chicken ? lasagna was definitely delicious and smth newThe packaging is great; you can tell they really put effort in making sure no spills are happening“
“Finally…authentic, delicious Dominican food that I don’t have to go into NYC to order. My gathering was such a hit , catering was the best! The pictures won’t do this place justice. It’s the taste of a hole in the wall I missed so much. From their chicharron (fried pork rinds), to classic mangu (mashed plantains) with cheese, eggs + sausage. I’m drooling just looking through my food pictures from them. This review is long overdue. Trey it for yourself you won’t regret it!! Did I mention how friendly they all are? The service was great too!“
“This is the best food in the whole world I cannot even explain how good the food is and how the staff is so nice the order is always right and the food come hot and warm the best part is that the food is affordable? definitely recommend this“
“When I first came here, I didn’t know what to expect. I think the guy at the register was Dominican I asked him to put me on the top seller. He didn’t really do that. He just pointed me to the menu. I didn’t know what to expect my first time, but I tried pancakes with eggs toast because I wasn’t sure if the sausage was pork. A cheese and a beef empanada and a egg and cheese sandwich. “But I was blown away by the flavor. The food was so fresh.” 5 star for the food. I was expecting some more eggs with my pancakes, platter, and toast, but the food is good.“
“I've worked pretty close to this spot for yrs and never knew it existed (rarely take Broadway), my crew and I are working a job right up the street and decided to check it out. I've tried pollo guisado, carne guisado and of course pernil (I'd eat it everyday of my life if I could) and ea dish was outta this world. Empanadas, chicharron and maduro are all excellent too! The staff is always friendly, the food is always fresh/delicious/hot and the prices are more than fair. Once again...mom/pop spots reign supreme!!“
“The best Dominican food according to my boyfriend who is Dominican. I though it was great food. It was my first time here as I am not a local in this area and I have to say it was delicious 100 times better than the Dominican Restauraunt we are regulars at.“
“(Translated by Google) Excellent Dominican Creole food if you want to eat tasty you have to visit themDon't forget to order the pork with chicharrón(Original)Excelente comida criolla dominicana si quiere comer sabroso tienen que visitarlosNo se les olvide pedir el cochino con chicharrón“

Shrimp tacos ????? chicken tacos????? hot bar????? I wish I could post pictures of my food but I always share on Instagram“
“This place has GREAT food! Everything is good... The service is okay, but the staff is super nice. They have catering options also! Check them out for your next event!While they have seating available, I wouldn't plan on anything intimate. It's a take out place that you can sit down if you like.Parking: There are meters but nobody comes by to check. Street parking available in VERY limited supply. But you're not walking more than a block“
“The food in here is great, it tastes like a home made food in a Nice and quiet environment, there is a good breakfast selection you have to try..and the attention of their employees is like family, especially the manager Ana M. Come here very often as my first choice in town as I'm treated like family by attendants marlennys then and the overall staffThe food is delicious in a quiet and pleasant atmosphere as well as typical homemade food, the breakfast selection is very good and the employees make you feel like family, especially the manager Ana M who is a sweetheart, I come here very often as my first option to eat.“
“Pretty decent spot, not too far away from 46 which is good. Handicap accessible as the whole establishment is on one floor I had the sweet Thai chili wings extra crispy, and Lord were they amazing!! I was obsessed and so sad that I was done eating them Lol. The Bartender and Bar were super attentive and helpful. Love the service!Parking: Probably more than 20 parking spotsWheelchair accessibility: No steps all on ground level/one floor.“
“I Uber eat my dinner and unfortunately they forgot to put my side empanadas. I contacted the restaurant and not long after someone who actually works for the restaurant came and hand-deliver my empanadas. If it wasn’t for my son who loves empanadas I would’ve left it alone but of course I had to contact the restaurant because that’s the only thing he would eat but I have nothing negative to say about this restaurant I have been going there for years now and they go beyond.“
“I have been a loyal customer for four years and I can say that the food and service is excellent. Always the girls happy and with a smile. I recommend everyone to visit and try the delicious food! Try the house hot sauce, it's delicious!“
“The music and atmosphere were top-notch, creating a relaxed and inviting vibe. But let's talk about the food – oh boy, it was fantastic! We tried the sancocho and mofongo, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The sancocho was hearty and flavorful, while the mofongo was perfectly seasoned and had a great texture. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to try Dominican/ Puerto Rican food in the area“
“(Translated by Google) If you are reading this it is because you know what you are looking for. I ordered Longaniza and chicken and beef chimi. If you come from Florida or out of state, come easy. There is plenty of light and it is very clean.(Original)Si estás leyendo esto es porque sabes lo que andas buscando. Pedí Longaniza y chimi de pollo y res. Si vienes de florida o fuera del estado, ven tranquilo. Hay bastante luz y está muy limpio.“
“I came here a few days ago and I had a great experience, very clean, cozy and good vibes. Excellent customer service, food and juices, the manager Cinry took care of me and I was really happy with her vibe. Thank you guys for the great experience, I’m coming back very soon!!!!?“
“The food is awesome. It is very fresh. I went right when it opened and I got a little meal for $5. I was so shocked because I haven't had that price in years! The owner is super kind. The place looks old but very clean. Also there is way more stores surrounding that area now. I live in New York so Im definitely going to travel there again to have a joyful time enjoying some authentic food.❤️“
“this is the best Dominican restaurant In New Jersey the food is always good, I moved to NJ from NYC summer 2022 and was looking for a authentic Dominican homemade style restaurant and after trying different places and different restaurants went to many different cities I saw a tiktok suggestion of this place went on a drive because let me tell you it is a 25 min to go and 25 to come back but the mofongos and yaroas are worth it, you also should try their Plato del dia la ensalada mixta is a most, other than that the place is always clean and the people is very friendly, i love it!!“
“It's great place to try out !!!!! At first I wasn't to sure, I don't like eating much Spanish restaurant but my own cooking ? but I gave it a try and let me tell you, I try to go at less 2 or 3 times a month....My family and I love going, the price for the amount of food we get! no where else ! And everything taste Divine, ?The price is just right!!!DON'T WASTE NO MORE TIME AND GO ...Kid-friendliness: If your child doesn't like loud music, it's not the place or you can ask the owner if she would be kind to lower it, which I don't see why notParking: It's a busy area, but we always find parking, just gotta have a little bit of patient when looking for parking.“
“Everything was soooo good!We had the longaniza, morcilla, buche & chicharrón, it was all fried to perfection. That morcilla ??My Chimi de res was perfect! The guys in the truck were very nice and service was fast! We are totally going back “
“I finally had a chance to try this spot. Sometimes as a African American you have trouble in places but not this place. It was clean and the service was friendly. I ordered 2 things the stewed chicken both were ample and good. The price for both platters was affordable. Good spot to check out. Ps get some pepper steak on the menu.“
“Cositas Ricas Bakery has been a life saver!! The Domincan cake I ordered was the sensation of the party. We were celebrating my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary and needed the cake to be mostly in gold. Evelyn with her wonderful ideas manged to bring the cake to life the day of with this authentic Dominican cake. We all loved it. Thank you so much Evelyn! We will definitely be ordering from you from now on. Your shop is beautiful. God bless you in your creativity and future.“
“This place is amazing the food is more than five stars if I could give them 100 stars I would. It’s very delicious very fresh so clean I love how they did that place, So modern ... I’m in love with the new place. !!!! I highly recommend“
“This food is delicious and true to Dominican food! It is incredibly hard to find authentic DR/PR food in Newark area. Customers service is cool, you are greeted properly. They're usually very busy near weekends. I had the pork mofongo, the chicharron with rice and beans. Everything is flavorful and seasoned well. The portions are well rounded and filling. Price point is great. I'll definitely be back to try Empanadas, chicken etc. It's nice to finally get some real Dominican food around here! I ate it so fast I didn't take a flick, maybe next time.“
“Used this restaurant for my Dads party. Placing the order was smooth, they accepted payment over the phone and they were willing to work with me on pick up time. Food was ready when I arrived and our guests could not stop raving about how good it was!Thank you !“
“This is our second visit, first visit was 2016.Second visit 2022. Would highly recommend if you get the chance to go. We did 2 hours of horse riding, they take you on the beach front and in the sea shore.and in and around the coconut trees. Very friendly staff and helpful . One thing make sure you wear trousers and a long sleeve top. Mosquitoes can attack and bite without you noticing. I found this out on our first visit. Great place very clean and lovely horses.“
“I live in the area and happened to walk by this place on the way to another but decided to detour. Boy was I surprised and happy with my decision! I ordered chicken tostadas (you get 4!), chicken chilaquiles, queso empanadas and fries. Everything was delish! The salsa verde on the chilaquiles was so tasty and the chicken was so flavorful! The portions were generous and the staff was incredibly nice. This is definitely going in my rotation of take out places!“
“OH! MY! GOD!!!! I just ate there today for the first time taking a risk and OMG it was SO GOOD!!! Also, the restaraunt is very clean and I love the decor on the inside. Small, intimate, but very nice and welcoming. I had fried fish and Yuca and it was absolutely divine“
“Mannys is a family owned and operated restaurant so the atmosphere is very friendly and everyone seems to know each other!! They make u feel welcomed and appreciated which is hard to find nowadays. My favorite dish is the stewed chicken w/veggie rice. The small take out box is only $7 but can easily feed 2. The large is (I believe) $9, and both come with a handful of yummy plantanos. The chicken literally melts in ur mouth and they use just the right amount of seasoning so its not too spicy for those of us who don't like spicy food!! Lunch/dinner at Mannys is always a pleasureable experience ? !!! Neighborhood isn't all that bad as other reviews mentioned, however, parking will b tricky!! Overall - ★★★★★“
“Gourmet Lunch is amazing! Please go in to the door on the left "Gourmet". Maria makes the best food, and it is fresh every day. The menu changes depending on what she has, so you can call ahead if you would like to know. She usually has meat, chicken, 3 types of rice, plantains, vegetables, beans, and sometimes shrimp. I'm sure the side selections may change during the seasons. The meat is so tender, and the chicken so flavorful. Maria and group are so sweet and genuine too. I am happy to support this business, and so is my heart and stomach.“
“Great authentic Dominican food and juices!The Sancocho, Concon, Guanábana juice, and Coquito were superb. Food was very flavorful.Brought 3 co-workers with me they were all impressed with the Moro, Bistec, Pollo Guisado, and the Beet juice.“
“Had the food at a birthday party earlier in Dec. Was so good then we placed a very large catering order for Christmas Eve. With so many picky eaters, the food was a 10 out of 10. Drove nearly an hour to pick up and worth every minute of the drive and gas. They actually mistakenly left off a tray that we paid for in the Xmas eve chaos. They sent it to us via Uber! Talk about great service in a crazy holiday! We really REALLY love this food!!! A hundred thank yous for making our holiday family party a huge success!!!“
“I want to get the bad out of the way first. I do feel the prices are a bit on the expensive side by a few bucks, especially for a local restaurant. They charge NYC prices. They should also make sure the menu prices match what they charge. I was going to take a star away for the price but what I write next will explain why I didn't.The food here is absolutely delicious. I have come here for breakfast and dinner and I am never disappointed in the food. The people that work here also seem very nice. I've never had issues with the service. The ladies here seem like they are in a good mood and they are working hard. All their food is good but I want to put my focus on their beans. I am a bean loving Puerto Rican and if you are a Latino restaurant that sells beans...they better be good. Well, this place has great beans. I appreciate the flavor and consistency of the beans. There are places that give you watery or watered down beans and it is a practice that I look down on because these places don't respect the details of the beans. As for my favorite dish, I am a simple guy and I enjoy their breaded chicken with rice and beans. I will also say that their version of arroz moro is absolutely great. So yes it is a bit more expensive but the richness of the food and the portions that you get will certainly make it more palatable. For this reason, I did not take a star away.“
“I went to Unchingrabandgo, and let me tell you, the lady who attended me, Flory, was so humble and charismatic! She really made my visit special. The food came out on time and was absolutely delicious. It's always a bonus when the service is excellent, right? Flory's kindness definitely added some extra flavor to the whole experience!“
“The best atmosphere to enjoy with the family...and great dishes of Latin food...the best in Paterson... All types of food to order and eat in the same restaurant with a large room with an atmosphere for the whole family in general ....100% recommended the seasoning with which they cook is unique in Paterson....“
“Took almost 3 yrs to get here but finally did! Walked in on a Saturday night for an early dinner around 6-630pm and had a 15-20min wait so my group grabbed a drink at the bar next door (hard grove).We split Cajun fries, just beclaws cheese fries, and a few orders of lemon pepper and garlic Parmesan wings. WOW!!!! All amazing.“
“The food is very delicious and fresh ...prepared daily on the steam table which a variety of dishes and alternate on certain days of the week but they do prepare other dishes alla carte menu...highly recommend the mangu with any sides....most problem is the place is extremely small there's no indoor seating basically its pickup and delivery...“
