“I love knowing your chefs are a delivery app or phone call away every winter, J and L. I love cuisine history, and this is a special shoutout to the Birria. If you want to stay warm in the winter, the meat was cooked perfectly, and the empanadas, nachos, and horchata were a hundred and ten percent genuine Hispanic/Latino recipes. I remember around 2016 when Tijuana Birria was all over Instagram, but nobody could find it in America. Well, if some of the best Al Pastor in NJ is in Ocean County at Montes, J and L has some of the fastest, fresh, tasty beef birria tacos in East Rutherford and North Jersey if you're like me and have to eat dinner and work after night falls. Thank you for staying open late enough to deliver whenever my night shifts go into overtime. Good food can feed a family or last multiple meals. You have great portions for the price, and I'll watch for sales and specials every week. I'll be ordering again in the summer with some Coronas or Modelo. Five stars, amigos. ??????Vegetarian options: Large selection made fresh to order. Check the menu or ask for help: they're friendly and supportive even during busy hours. ??Dietary restrictions: molé/sauces were Fuego?? Potential customers with heat sensitivity should select their flavors or inclusion in the app interface.Kid-friendliness: Niños friendly ???❄️☃️“
“Wow, where do I begin? Little to no wait time, incredible staff, and exceptional service. My favorite was the empanadas and picana, truly one of the best in Manhattan. I would highly recommend to friends and family and would definitely come back!“
“Excellent experience! Wonderful chuletón with vegetables sides and very enjoyable sangria. Fabian gave us a very warm and caring service as well as Vivian. We loved the atmosphere and the food’s quality is A+!!! We absolutely recommend the Salinas dining experience!“
“ngl good food and ambiance, but they charged an extra $10 to my card and never responded to my messages and email (they don’t have a phone number), so be careful and check your card statementsupdate: they got back to me after i wrote this review (1 star), so i’m bumping this back upupdate 2: i went back and wasn’t charged extra, the oysters are solid“

“We’ve been coming here for over 15 years and it’s always been amazing. The food was perfect. The service was top notch. Jesus was our server. He was great.Parking: Parking can be a challengeKid-friendliness: Kid friendly, plenty of options for kidsWheelchair accessibility: No steps to enter“
“There is a really nice atmosphere at Ernesto’s. The food was tasty, however I think the smaller dishes are stronger than the larger ones (so load up on these). The pricing is on the higher end eg $20 for a g&t, $34 for Iberico & crisps (chips). Our bill for 3 people and 3 drinks each came to $400+“
“Wow! Some of the best food I have had in the city! Was looking for a nice place for dinner on a Saturday night, happened to find this place and they were super accommodating without a reservation. Our server, Dulce, was personable and attentive and took such good care of us. We will be coming back, highly recommend!“
“This is the second time that we have eaten at this gem near the theater district. We were there for lunch. We each had sangria, I had the seafood paella and my wife had a shrimp burrito. Great food, friendly service and very reasonable pricing“
“Really good food and aesthetic atmosphere! Loved the nachos and quesadillas it was really fresh and delicious! Jessie was our server and she was very attentive and made sure we are okay at all times. It was my birthday and I really enjoyed celebrating here!“
“I recently dined at Vinateriá and I must say, the food and service were absolutely phenomenal. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and seated promptly. The menu offered a variety of authentic Italian dishes, and everything we tried was delicious. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the sauce was rich and flavorful. The service was attentive, friendly, and truly made our dining experience exceptional. I would definitely return to this restaurant in the future and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic Italian meal. 5/5 stars.“
“One of my favorite restaurants in the city! Their chicken liver mousse is the best, but I love that no matter what I pick from the menus or specials, I know that it’ll be amazing. Staff is also really friendly and accommodating. I’ve been here many times and hope to go back many more!“
“Such a beautiful space, delicious tapas, warm staff, great wine selection, clean and the prices a great! Great space fir meetings, lunch, dinner, … Did I mention they have a nice Happy Hour!? Yes they do! I have recommended it and will definitely revisit“
“Came here on a Friday night with a group of four and had a wonderful experience. The place was packed but the service was still incredible. Not only was the food wonderful, but this is one of the few places in NYC where you aren’t rushed out. We ordered the paella, ravioli, multiple apps, and sangria. Major shout out to Jose for the wonderful service and night!“
“The food is great and the ambience is great. The greeter seemed to be in the wrong position. Very unfriendly. Not even a smile.Also, we had a guest in our party with a seafood allergy who asked about their handling of this. The response was “I don’t think this is a problem” we had to ask them to confirm.“
“I’ve heard good things about @txikitonyc and finally booked a weekend dinner! All the food was delicious and our server was very nice and patient in giving us great recommendations. They definitely deserve more love than they already do! Will be interested in coming back and trying more of their delicious Basque cuisine.“
“"Fornos of Spain exceeded all expectations! The food was incredibly flavorful, each dish bursting with authentic Spanish taste and freshness. The friendly service added to the delightful experience, with staff members going above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. The atmosphere was perfect, transporting us to the heart of Spain with its charming decor and lively ambiance. From start to finish, every aspect of our dining experience at Fornos of Spain was simply exceptional. We can't wait to return for another memorable meal!"“
“Comida Buenisima... Lo único tienes que pedir los platos iguales como estan en la carta... Eramos 4 y nos cobraron 5 platos... Deberian de cambiar esto no todas las personas pueden comer el plato exacto como lo tienen... ppr un mofongo aparte nos cobraron el plato del mofongo completo...“
“My Husband and I make an attempt to come here for dinner prior to whenever we go to the Lincoln Center! We love it so much we've found ourselves returning just to introduce other friends to this place. The food is fantastic, ambience is beautiful, fun, and lively, and service is attentive but relaxed. It beats out some of the top restaurants in flatiron and west village for us.“
“The front of the house is also the bartender and manages staff deftly. The servers are efficient but personable. The food selection is creative - every dish from the lamb skewers on toast, to grilled salmon with spinach was excellent. Even the churros with chocolate sauce were hot and light. The atmosphere is warm, and inviting. Could this be a neighborhood restaurant in Barcelona? Tremendous all around value.“
“Casa d'paco in ❤️I would give 10 stars to this place if I could.Service was awesome, staff is really friendly and helpfull, always smiling.The food is out of this world, we loved everything we ate, it was delicious, the best food we had during this 9-days trip in USA.“
“Flavorful and satisfying!We started with the Callos, which combined a slightly sweet delectable sauce with astoundingly tender chopped tripe (I would liken it to a savory marshmallow, almost). The chorizo and garbanzo played their part serviceably.We followed it with the Uni Palabok. The uni and caviar were very tasty, and it was nice to try quality ingredients. However, the relative intensity of the sauce somewhat drowned out the more delicate flavors of the uni and caviar.(From my wife who grew up eating Palabok, it is *extremely* elevated)Our last entree was the Lengua de Champinon, and it was phenomenal! The tongue was expertly cooked and wonderfully tender, and the creamy mushroom sauce was a great pairing for it.For dessert, they don't have it listed on the menu yet, but they had some Tres Leches cake available. The cake was perfectly saturated with milk sauce while maintaining it's form, and instead of the standard whipped cream, it had meringue on top which was quite interesting!It was a bit pricey, but the menu is online so that's no surprise.“
“I had such a great time at Dora's Thursday happy hour. Great place to reunite with friends. Food was good, drinks well priced and the owner was a delight. My steak came out a little less red than I like but the flavor was delicious. One of my friends requested to add chicken to her pasta and the owner was happy to accommodate and my friend loved her dish.Vegetarian options: No meat Pasta, salad and vegetable dishes were on the menu .Dietary restrictions: There was enough of a variety for all to enjoy.Wheelchair accessibility: There was a gentleman in a wheelchair that appeared to be able to get around easily. Spacious dining area.“
“The food was amazing! Great mix of Latin cuisine with unique flavors and fresh ingredients. The service was excellent, friendly staff. I was with my dog and it was easy to get a table outdoors.We ordered the pre-fixed menu for two: great amount of food worth the money. I loved the rice with chicken, the tuna tart and the churros were awesome, the chocolate was delicious.The music and atmosphere was great. I’ll definitely come back.“
“My new favorite restaurant! Everything is fresh and filling, you can taste the care and love put into the dishes. The ambiance is comforting and inviting, the kind of place you could sit and eat and drink for hours. The bartenders are very nice. 10/10“
“Excellent Spanish restaurant. You feel as if you were in a tasca madrileña. The atmosphere is great. The attention superb and the dishes we tried, all excellent. The navajas, serrano ham, pan tumaca and all seafood are excellent. Good selection of wines. Worth to come back.!“
“This Spain themed food hall is fun and chaotic and bustling even on a weeknight. With our group size we couldn't get a table to have the tapas we were hoping to try so we settled for the stalls that took walk up ordering. The sandwiches and croquettas were delicious so we will definitely have to return next time we are in New York for the tapas! Our one complaint was the food hall and the seating/ordering system was rather confusing to navigate (what you can order based on where you sit) and the waitstaff were too busy to explain adequately. Better signage with explanation would be helpful!“
“It was like dining in a 5 star establishment. I had the surf & turf. The jumbo shrimp.was perfectly cooked and the steak tips unbelievably great. I never had their specialty desert cake. It was an unbelievable experience, so good. The owner Jose was so friendly and made me feel like family. Overall, I highly recommend Chloes. My go to place!“
“For more than a decade, Socarrat has been our go-to spot in Manhattan, and it feels like visiting an old friend every time we walk through the door. From our first taste in 2010, this charming restaurant has never failed to deliver top-notch quality and hospitality. The cozy ambiance sets the stage for an evening filled with laughter and amazing food. With each visit, we're treated to a delightful journey through Spanish cuisine, with dishes bursting with flavor and love. Whether it's sharing tapas with friends or diving into a paella masterpiece, Socarrat's warmth and deliciousness keep us coming back for more. Cheers to another decade of unforgettable dining experiences at Socarrat!“
“We celebrated our wedding ceremony and reception at MyMoon in October 2023 with a party of 75 people. We cannot fully express how wonderful the whole experience was for us. The venue was everything we wanted- Spanish decor, moody, romantic, cozy, and beautiful greenery in the courtyard and deck. The food and cocktails were delicious! Our event coordinator, Lee, is knowledgeable, super responsive, and organized. The staff was well equipped, attentive, and knew how to run an event. Our wedding went smoothly and Lee was there to address any unexpected concerns and provide support throughout the day. Our guests were surprised by this hidden gem in Brooklyn and expressed how much they enjoyed their time! We would love to attend a wedding here as guests!“
“Everything about this restaurant is just lovely--the food, the atmosphere, the service, and the drinks! If you're looking for excellent Spanish seafood in a lively atmosphere with moody lighting, highly recommend Casa Dani. I took a couple clients to dinner and could navigate the food menu just fine but I know almost nothing about Spanish wine. The tall (and handsome) sommelier was so knowledgeable and attentive, it really made the experience a memorable one. Will definitely return!“
“Excellent food! The service was great. We went twice during our trip to NY and the place was packed on both occasions. We were given champagne on the house for being repeat customers, it was a nice suprise. Wonderful atmosphere, highly recommend a visit.“
“Loved this spot! We came for an early dinner and the restaurant was fairly empty but filled up later during reg dinner hours. Food arrived quickly and was delish! The highlight for me was the portobello carpaccio (not pictured). The tapas are nicely sized for being tapas. We got sangrias but I'd probably try a cocktail or do a white wine next time. They did kindly give us complimentary white wine which was super sweet! Dessert was delish and I'd def try the chocolate mousse next time as well. We luckily got seated at the front of the restaurant so it was nice and private plus it made for great people watching. I'd def come back!“
“Walk into Basque country, enjoy wonderful food experiences and atmosphere. A special place- a gem hidden in the Ironbound, where you are transported into a culinary adventure to be shared with family and friends. A formal restaurant and lively soccer bar, enjoy both and La Liga matches surrounded by true aficionados who regular there. After your first visit, there remains a constant call to return and repeat the same, again and again and again..... Enjoy“

“Wonderful gem of a restaurant. Authentic Spanish food (as far as I could tell!) lovely people helped us celebrate birthdays. Make a reservation for inside seating to see the food being prepared in the open kitchen! Will be back and bring friends!“
“Delicious and authentic Puerto Rican food. The yellow rice is soft and tasty; it is very well made. The pernil is also very well cooked but does lack a bit of seasoning, it still taste good but I think they cook can add a bit more seasoning to it and it will be PERFECT! I always feel like I am back at home whenever I order from Mis Raices.“
“If you’re looking for a well-rounded dining experience, look no more. This place eludes passion from the food to the dimly lit ambience.We stopped in on a whim. We were instantly drawn in from the music and the array of colors. We tried 90% of the tapas menu and each dish was simple yet boasted so much flavor. I also appreciate when small businesses offer a organic wine selection.No wonder this place has managed stick around the upper east side!“
“The churros were amazingly good, they greeted us kindly it’s definitely worth checking out not expensive like other places, there’s only one problem and that is there was a line for the valentine special and there were two women who just skipped the line and pretended to have a friend “waiting for them” so be attentive of who’s in front of you other than that 10/10 place!“
“I just returned from Costa Rica! Three days later I ran to Tucanes for Costa Rican food! They do not disappoint! Delicious, fresh, authentic and beautifully presented is exactly how to describe my meal! In addition to scrumptious food, TucanesHas a lovely, pristine atmosphere with excellent service. Restrooms are immaculate! I love this place. I went back a week later for another wonderful experience! I am now a regular!“
“While in the city, my partner and I were looking for a lowkey spot to grab a small bite, and cocktail within close proximity to our hotel. This place came up in my Yelp search so we decided to check it out. Once we were seated and able to check out the menu, we opted for meatballs, the pulpo and cocktails. And the chocolate lava cake to finish. The dishes, drink and dessert we had were great. If the few dishes we ordered tasted that great. I can only imagine how great the rest of the menu must be. It's a cozy, dimly lit but inviting spot. And the service was good. I can't wait to return!“
“Food was delicious. we had stuffed mushrooms, fried calamari, shrimp with garlic sauce, chorizo with peppers and onions for appetizers. I had Fideau with seafood it was delicious. Healthy portions. Service was exceptional!! Others had seafood paella, veal chop, shrimp. I recommend this restaurant ❤“
“I never have a bad experience here. The food is fantastic, I am a seafood gal. The staff is fun, friendly and accommodating, within reason. I have a funny tummy but their extensive menu is always a feast for my eyes. My favorite dish is the whole snapper, simply delicious!“
“My sister & I stumbled upon this place one day and it was the happiest coincidence. We spent part of our childhood in Euskadi país vasco and the food at Cafe Riazor transported us back to our time in Donostia! I swore to my sister it was the most authentic, feels-like-home Spanish food I have had in the US. I took some friends back here and had the exact same experience. Good Spanish comfort food with a nostalgic atmosphere.“
“Today I ordered food for Lunch, super delicious.I recommend the broth, the corviches and the breaded chicken, it's super delicious, the house mayonnaise and spicy sauce is delicious and the portions are very large... it's totally worth it, it takes you back to our country completely.I always order from my Ubereats account and they send me little notes, this time my husband asked for it and he didn't feel that love haha“
“Been going here for years and years , but hadn't been here in some time. The food was as good and the service was second to none, just as Id remembered. 5 star all the way.Parking: Lot is directly across the street with an attendant in it. Worry free!“
“My new favorite place for authentic Dominican food! I can’t believe we live like 2 blocks away and never came here before. I do wish there was more seating but hey there was enough for us! The place is clean and the staff is welcoming and respectful. The food was phenomenal! I was ready to go back for dinner. I will definitely become a regular at this place. Thanks for providing such quality food.“
“My dad first put me on this restaurant by its delicious, fresh takeout food. We'd typically order octopus or whole fish. My parents decided to take us out for our birthday and it was not a disappointment. I felt like I was in Portugal without actually traveling there and it's a home away from home from the moment you walk in.Everyone ordered different entrées and each dish offered a unique, top-quality taste. If you're looking for an authentic Portuguese spot in the Hudson County area, Pic-Nic is your go-to!Vegetarian options: There is a vegetarian option available on the menu.Parking: About 11 or 12 parking spaces and street parking is very difficult given the area.Kid-friendliness: While there is no kids menu, there are few options available for children.Wheelchair accessibility: Whether parked in the lot or on the street, you can easily access the lot, entrance and seating area with a wheelchair.“
“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 ?“
“Easy 5 stars, even with a long wait for the bar… b/c they were fully booked and we came in on a Saturday evening with no reservation at the last minute, so that was COMPLETELY understandable. I’m only mentioning it b/c i recommend getting a reservation and so that if you go, and it’s busy, be prepared to wait, but it is worth worth it! They even brought out two tapas to thank us for waiting it out. The octopus (seared perfectly), and mushroom croquettes were his favorite, while the shishito peppers, and camarones de ajillo were my strong favorites (I needed more bread for the amazing hot garlic olive oil at the bottom). I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you have any interest in Spanish tapa style of food. The potatoes bravas were good, I like mine super crispy so I would ask for that the next time. I had cava this time, but they have some amazing sangria and cocktails.“
“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.“
“The poké bowls were freshly made and delicious. Service was friendly and fast. I loved seeing the selection of unique, imported, drinks and snacks. Sweet potato cheesecake anyone; yum!! I look forward to trying some more new treats the next time I visit and cannot wait to eat here again.“
