Had Calamari Fritto to start, Carne Asada (skirt steak) and Ropa Vieja, and ended with Coconut Flan.“
“We tried the pabellón criollos (traditional Venezuelan breakfast) and pan con bistec guaro (Venezuelan steak sandwich), as well as the agua fresca de flor de Jamaica (Costa Rican sorrel wine, non alcoholic). Great dishes with a warm brunch ambiance.“
“My husband and I had dinner at Libelulu last week and it was great! The service couldn’t be better and the food was delicious. We started with the ceviche, had Ropa Vieja and chicken entrees and rice pudding for dessert. I highly recommend!“
“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!“
“I come to this restaurant almost everyday since I moved down the block. The food is amazing, very affordable in comparison to most places nowadays, and no matter who is at the register they are sooo pleasant. I absolutely love this place, and if more people knew about it the line would be out the door. Espectacular!“
“Thank you for the excellent service Meybelin, very attentive and helpful, the food was delicious, the service very excellent, I love this restaurant and that is why I visit it frequently ??? the person who served me was super friendly, he deserves a raise ?“

“The food taste delicious, You can eat relax ,the music is perfect not loud like others places that u can even talk. Just perfect for everyone that want to eat good food delicious and a nice atmosphere. The owner is very nice . I recommend this place ?, u will love it “
“This diner's service is always great. I think there is so much to choose from it can be intimidating. When it was time to pay the check, I noticed their new pay system had already added a 15% tip to the bill. I think tipping should ALWAYS be the discretion of the patron. Because my server was great, I didn't have a problem paying the 15%. I wonder if her tip is shared. FYI, you can change the tip amount at the register, but ya'll need to pay attention.Food at this diner is always yummy. The staff is great and at my visit they were on top of everything. There is someone ready to clear your plate if you're done. Our server was attentive. Making sure if we needed anything else during our meal.Kid-friendliness: They have paper placemats for kids to doodle while waiting for their meal.“
“How I love this restaurant, just like his entire family, Juanito was of great support to me, he gave me work when I needed it the most, what kind of person I love them very much and their quality of food is incomparable, I am proud to appear in one of their photos that they have on your wall next to my great Mr. Juanito, 100% sure that as soon as I am in NJ I will visit you, a big hug for all of you and I remember Elena very much, my name is Ivan Orellana el catarcho. Greetings“
“What a pleasant surprise to have found this gem on a food court. Food is delicious, tasty and they serve a good amount. I love their pernil & arroz con gandules. The yuca fries and maduros are usually fried on the spot so they taste freshly made!“
“Really cool, hip spot in Caldwell for good Peruvian food. Our server knew exactly what to recommend as well when we asked about the specials, entrees, and appetizers. We had ceviche as a appetizer as well as some Maduros and they were quite tasty. I really enjoyed my main entree which was a Mofongo saltado which adds a nice Dominican fusion/flair to it. For dessert I went with the flan and espresso and I feel like you can't go wrong with that choice. My friends had the tres leches and they mentioned it was super tasty too. Not too many seats in the restaurant so make sure to call ahead and make a reservation.“
“Nice mix of Hispanic food, very delicious mangu, definitely one of the best I've tried in the area. El pernil and arroz morro is so good and balanced seasoning. Food was ready and recently cooked, the staff very friendly service. The owner was constantly checking to see we were well attended. Will be coming back to try more on the menu. Uber Eats and Door Dash and GrubHub available ????.“
“The food is amazing and the staff is so friendly. I love the coxinhas, the x-frango is a great sandwich and the pastelão is the best. Sometimes I order one of the party trays of mini coxinhas if I ever have to go somewhere and they're always a hit. 10 out of 10, would recommend any day.“
“Food was Amazing as Always … Best Ecuadorian Restaurant in New Jersey for sure ! Their Encebollado Barcelona which i always have is the best ! , besides their Caldo de Bola and Guatita are Outstanding and I’m sure all the other dishes are just are as Great ! I know sometimes of the day is a wait to be seated since it’s so packed … but the wait is Definitely Worth itParking: You have to go early because the only parking is street parking , you’ll usually find some after a while …“
“My wife and I went in for a quick breakfast sandwich (Bacon, egg and cheese, coffee, and a natural juice - tamarindo) and everything tasted amazing. The staff is very friendly and even customize the sandwiches for us. We would definitely go back and recommend as well ?“
“There's is no better place to eat than at La Casona in Union City NJ. The price is reasonable, atmosphere, service and the food is fantastic.The price is right. Forget about paying 16 $ for arroz con picallado .Here at La Casona you will only pay $10.00 Check their daily price for the weekly cheap menu. No more that $ 11.00BYOB“
“Andrea C. Was Amazing!!! She was so attentive and very easy to work with. My Spanish is not so great, yet she made me feel like it was no problem at all!!! She brought out EVERYTHING I asked for and never hesitated to check on me multiple times. I loved that she made me feel like I was at home regardless of the language barrier!!! Food was fresh and abundant! Margaritas were DELICIOUS!! Actually felt like I tasted the alcohol. I Will definitely return and ask for ANDREA!! She was a DOLL!!!!!! Thank you forgata!!!“
“Solid spot for empanadas around the area. They were juicy and tasty with the sauce they provide. Depending on the empanadas, they range around $3 which is pretty decent for the size of the empanada. Workers were really nice and told us all the empandas they had and what the empandas had inside. We bought 6 empanadas and the cashier gave us a free drink with that. Which I thought was really kind for them to do. Overall, I would come back here whenever I am around the area and try the other foods they have.“
“I went here for my mom"s birthday and all of us enjoyed the food so much. The food was rich is flavor, hot, and super savory. The drinks were fantastic, they were able to substitute certain parts in drinks we wanted and didn't want, which was really nice of them as well. The service was really good too. Our waitress was really nice and really patient with us, she was extremely helpful, and we didn't feel rushed. I really recommend this place if you're looking for a calm and comfortable environment with delicious food and fast service.“
“The best encebollado in Newark ! Hands down . We have went everywhere in Newark and this place never disappoints. I would suggest you get there early , there is a wait do to the restaurant being small, however they are very humble and accommodate you quickly.“
“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“
“It just so happens that I was very hungry and I got free-range chicken and I ordered something to eat, and I wasn't even finished ordering and my food was already ready. I really liked it. There were 2 cool guys and a girl, I think, her name was Ashlee. Everyone was very attentive, which speaks volumes about the restaurant. congratulations date 04/16/2024 7.45 PM THANK YOU see you soon“
“Olgas place is a land mark in the Elizabeth Port. To know Olga's is to know Elizabeth. Tucked away on a quiet one way street. Just on the other side of where the Turnpike divides the Frog Hollow Section of Elizabeth from the rest of the city.Olga has been one of the best places to enjoy. Recently remodeled and updated. This family owned an operated Restaurant/ Bar.Has been serving the best ?? Costa Rican Cusine for over 20 years. The menu is full of all sorts of great dishes. From a surf and turf to a Chifrijo. One of my personal favorites.White Rice covered in black beans with small pieces of Chicharon mixed in.( fried pork bits) topped with pico de gallo and sliced avocado. A hardy meal. My go to after a long day and an empty stomach.The prices are really reasonable.If you are just looking to have a good time and catch up with some friends.Olga's Place is that place. Where the music is playing just loud enough to make you dance in your seat. But not so loud where you can't enjoy the conversation with your date.You can sit at the bar or dinning room. TVs align the walls. You can catch the latest sporting event. Don't see the game you are looking for. Ask one of the friendly managers. They will be happy to look for it and put it on for you.Talking about the bar. They serve the latest and trendiest drinks. The bar tenders and wait staff are on point. Everyone is super friendly and go out of thier way to make you feel at home.The place is really busy on the weekends. As it has it share of local regulars and people who come from all over the state.There is plenty of parking on both sides of the building.If you know me and follow my post and reviews. You know I really enjoy my Cappuccinos. Ximena is one of the servers and makes it perfect every time. Ask for her to make your Cappuccino.You won't be disappointed.They have something going on every day of the week. Karaoke,Salsa Night and even a game night. You can enjoy singing along with the staff. They seem to know all the songs. Claudia will entertain you with her singing. Karla will charm you with her great smile and personality. You won't ever have to wait long. For your food or drink. I enjoy Thursday Nights when Kelly and Hariana are working. They make sure my order is right everytime.Olga's Place is trendy,hip yet they maintain a great family atmosphere.I just can't say enough about this place.I dont offer 5 stars often but this place is really that good. Follow them on Instagram and Facebook to stay connected with what's going on.I have quickly become a regular. I bet you might to. #ElizabethStrongParking: The Building has off street parking on both sides. On th weekends you mayhave to find parking on the streets.Kid-friendliness: Olga's has a family atmosphere and is kid friendly. On any given day.

“First time trying Peruvian food and it didnt fail me ❤️We ordered , lomo saltado , jalea and cevichewhen the food arrived ,our expectations continue to be exceeded.Every bit of our meal was scrumptiously satisfyingThe lomo saltado was cooked perfectly and the flavor tantalizes my tastebuds .Jalea contained abundant seafood that was almost too good to stop eating whileCeviche was also in generous portion , there was a perfect balance of fish and other fresh ingredients and spice ..i love mine extra picanteOver all the food and service was superb !!!Will definitely come back !“
“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.“
“The food is always fresh and the steak tender cooked to perfection. The ambience is causual comfortable and fun. No loud music to interfere with good conversation with your party. The service is outstanding always clean neat and smiling as they serve you. The best sangria I have ever had. I have become a regular here and know the waiter and waitress names and each of them have their special way of making me feel welcomed and ready to serve. 5 Stars and highly recommended.“
“Good Cuban food. Glad to find vegetarian options for Lunch. Staff is super friendly. Manny the host has amazing vibes. Loved the overall experience and a place to have a quiet sit down lunchVegetarian options: Some vegetarian options. Spinach Empanada was good“
“I enjoy eating here with my grandchildren ,they make the California burgers with bacon wow! Delicious and their fries are so crispy, very clean, family environment,good prices and excellent service I Highly recommend it .Kid-friendliness: My grandchildren love it they order their milkshakes ,hamburgers french fries would not eat anywhere else they say.“
“I literally just ordered from here; the diri djoun djoun with fried chicken and a side of macaroni au gratin…. They also gave a fresh side green salad. Out of the whole meal my favs were the fried chicken(well down like I like it) the diri djoun djoun was bomb!!! And the salad was soooo fresh and delicious. TO ME AND I SAY TO ME cause everyone’s taste buds are different I didn’t like the macaroni au gratin too much cause one it had ground beef or turkey in it hard to tell being that it was well marinated into the macaroni au gratin and also in my opinion it was a lil dry (once again this is my opinion cause some might find it to be just right, whereas I like that oily and fattening macaroni au gratin taste). But do not not order it guys cause your guys may choose to differ when it comes to the macaroni au gratin. But other than that I enjoyed the food. Been a while since I had haiatian food that actually taste like Haitian food. Oh ye the ambiance is to die for fancy and upscale AF!!!! Definitely got themselves a loyal customer! ♥️“
“Today I accidentally stopped there for coffee on my way to the train station. Coffee has a really different flavor when combined with hot milk. I highly recommend the coffee, it outclasses Starbucks and this type of place in terms of taste and price .“
“Last year I traveled from Columbus Ohio to New York and by chance we came across this restaurant and the food was excellent, I really loved it, and this year I really wanted to eat something good and I didn't hesitate to go again and just as I expected I didn't Disappointed, the food was really good, I'm sure if I had the chance to go back I would. 10/110“
“I just want to say how great this place is. The food was so good! Great sizes and super tasty, but the best part is the service, they were super kind to us. We are visiting from Canada, but we’ll make sure to stop by next time we are in New Jersey!“
“Delicious Dominican food. Hot food ready to pick from behind a covered food warmer. Fast service. In and out within a few minutes. It's not the nicest place, but the food is always delicious and reasonably priced. Great lunch with leftover for $10 - $12. Staff is very friendly but many times difficult to communicate with because much of the staff only speak Spanish. Still, just point to what you want, and you'll get it. Highly recommend for lunch takeout other than all the fadt food places nearby or for a quick stop after work to pick up dinner. They do close early, though.“
“We arrived late morning for breakfast before heading to the airport. El Cabanol was in the middle of preparing their many lunchtime delivery orders but still provided a very tasty meal without a long wait. It was hot and delicious! Nice clean diner atmosphere run by a local family. Give it a try!“
“This place was great. Came here on a Tuesday night. It was 7 of us. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. We got table side guacamole and a bunch of apps and a bunch of beers and drinks and eventually some steaks which were all perfectly cooked. Would definitely come here again.“
“Amazing whole in the wall spot. I'm puertorican, and it's hard to find a good boricua place in NJ. This place is great. The food is great, and the service is outstanding. They treat their customers like family, and the prices are good. I definitely recommend this spot!“
“Food portions were good and the service was great. Small spot so it can feel crowded when all the tables are filled. Our waitress was really prompt and got us our food in a timely manner. I had the Lomo w/ fried rice and my wife had the shrimp lomo w/ fried rice. While my dish was a bit salty for my liking hers was the opposite with not much flavor to it. Overall decent experience. Parking is a nightmare so be prepared to find parking multiple blocks away if you’re lucky.“
“This is one of my fav take out restaurants ..the traditional empanadas are perfect , and the funky ones are imaginative and delicious. Warning, hot sauce is HOT.The stuff is always super friendly, and the smallish eating area is clean and welcoming.Kid-friendliness: It’s not chuck-e-cheese, but kids would like it.“
