“The best empanadas in the area. Always fresh! They have a variety of empanadas besides the classic beef, cheese, or chicken. Just had the crab and shrimp empanadas, juicy and super delicious! Highly recommend this place! It's no wonder my parish has been getting them from here hahaParking: Parking is somewhat difficult here as you can see in Garfield there's these camera posts installed so if you stick around too long it takes a picture of your license plates and get a ticket mailed“
“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!“

“The place is very cute. It has 2 levels. The upper part is only open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.Good atmosphere, people are super friendly. They are very attentive to your needs and give you very good service.The food, as always, delicious. I really enjoy the Bandeja Paisa.It's always good to come back.“
“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“
“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!“
“I really wanted to love this place, having heard great reviews from friends. But … I found the food to be lacking in taste (particularly the Gilda and Kroketas) and the presentation was similar to what my mother would have done. Not bad, just average. I read about its Basque heritage but nothing about the restaurant and food really felt Basque to me (and I lived in Spain for a few years, working in the Basque Country). And more importantly, I found the wine to be middling. Nonetheless, my friend and I had a great time and the service was excellent.“
“Went here for dinner midweek. Food was excellent. Great apps including empanadas. The beef one was exceptional. Also had a salmon crudo app which was on special. Many specials at this place. Fish is a specialty I went with halibut which came with an awesome leek based sauce. My friend had a steak and it came with an awesome sauce too. Desert was a banana bread pudding in a sugary sauce again. This place has sauce!! Service nice and friendly quite attentive. Place is big with a nice seating area downstairs as well as a private room highly recommended go check it out.“
“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...“
“Wow!! Just around the corner from where I live and so glad I stopped in!!! The food is so fresh and well seasoned and flavorful. I had the garlic shrimp, meatballs and half chicken. The meatballs have a little lemon which I've never had and makes them so fresh. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and the chicken was tender and bright. So satisfying. Great and friendly service. Can't wait to come back.“
“Unexpected authetic Spanish Market in the City that you can't miss if you love food from Spain and you want to feel like being in Spain! The tortilla de patatas is amazing and so is the rest of the food such as Pulpo a la gallega and Jamon Iberico! A little bit pricey but worth the money given the location and the quality of the food. Will return to try Paella, empanada gallegas, croquetas and patatas bravas! Strongly recommended for a real Spanish experience in NYC!“
“We had a great dinner at ABC Cocina last night. All the food was delicious including the guac, patatas bravas, fluke crudo, hearts of palm salad and tacos. We also loved the speciality margaritas and the churros for dessert. The meal was a little spendy but at least you get what you pay for unlike many other overpriced restaurants in NYC these days.“
“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.“
“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!“

“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.“
“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!“
“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 ❤“
“This is probably the prettiest Noches de Colombia I've been to. Very big restaurant with bar & bakery- Nice music Friendly Staff, Delicious food & drinks. Their Pan de Bono's are THE BEST!!!!! Not even in Colombia I've had pan de Bono's like this. Highly recommend!!! Their Staff is always super professional.“
“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 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.“
“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.“
“Amazing place....the lobster tank impressive. The waiters were cute and friendly. All you can eat shrimp ? friday all day was delicious. With a Mango Mohito and mint...drink I left alittle tipsy. A definite 5 stars. Will definitely come again...a must try for all seafood lovers!!!“
“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.“
“great spot in Passaic to whine down and relax with some good good, a huge monitor displaying the beautiful coastal scenery and TVs with games on in case youre missing it. service was excellent because they kept an eye on me in case i was ready to ask for something. which i didnt but i respect that attention.“
“My first time here, even though I have passed by it many times before. I was looking for a place where I can order a salad at a reasonable price. Boy! This place is the place to go for the best salad in town so far. Delicious, good portion, and the best price. can’t wait to come back again and try other things on their menu. They look amazing and delicious.“
“Love this place. I had a delicious tortilla española and shrimp last night…friendly staff, clean establishment and I have experienced their flamenco shows on many occasions which are always impressive with passionate performers - the dancers, singers, guitarists- you are all wonderful .. glad to be able to be a part of the artistic, moving flamenco. Lovely night out in the city always !“
“Unfortunately I am attempting to finish this review in 2024, long after visiting this establishment so I do not recall my visit here besides giving it 5/5 stars. So in my very trusted book of ratings, I absolutely enjoyed this spot and the food was amazing. So I'll be back and do a better job reviewing next time.“
“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.“
“Juan was a consummate professional. This is proper old school Spanish food. Like going back in time but not stale in any way. Menu is extensive and classic in the sense the dish titles say it all - no flowery ingredient descriptions needed. Perfect temperature and seasoning of classic dishes.“
“The food was excellent, and the service was great. Sangria was really superb, even though the portions of the food were not so big. The ambiance is so nice and cozy.I'm definitely going back soon!!!!!Parking: Finding a parking spot close to the entrance of the restaurant can be difficult, especially on busy hours like dinner time.“
“Each time I’ve visited, I’ve had a lovely experience. The servers are attentive, hospitable, and knowledgeable. That’s what keeps me coming back. We tried a few different wines - most interestingly a Xarelo!We had an exceptional experience with the server, Mario last week!“
“Definitely a seafood lovers destination. The wait time can be long sometimes but its well worth it. I'd rather wait for excellent food than get mediocre food on demand. The staff is awesome and so are the owners. Its always a pleasure going there to eat. See you guys real soon. (Getting hungry)“
“Top-notch food choices. We had the snapper for2 ($85), which was delicious. Came with a gem salad, but nothing else. Roasted artichokes ($18) were also fabulous. Dessert was their own cheesecake ($12), which was out of this world yummy. More like creme brulee, but fabulous. Tomato bread ($11) I'd skip next time. My only complaint was prices were about 30% higher than they should have been. Waiter asked us what was the special occasion. Now I know why.“
“Just visited Gourmet Express Market for the first time to order empanadas for a party. The owners are so nice and helpful. They even gave me an empanada to try and I can see why the reviews are so good. The empanada was delicious. Can’t wait to serve the rest to my family and friends tonight!!!“
“Stopped by for lunch today and was blown away. Aside from over a dozen fried empanadas to choose from, they had five baked varieties on display. Inside is seating for 20, a soda fountain and a small drink fridge with about 10 options. Empanada are $6 but double the size you'll find elsewhere. I got the chicharrones de cerdo bowl. Served piping hot and fresh, the pork wasn't hard but had great flavor and chew. The sauteed red onions were a nice touch on top of a bed of fluffy white rice and iconic black beans. The squeeze of lime over everything married all the flavors together giving it that zesty acidity. $15.98 and well worth it, could only finish half.It took less than 10 minutes to prepare.Parking: Better off in the back or on a side street“
“We had a BRUTAL time as a family in a clean, cozy environment. The young woman who attended us was very friendly (Claudia). And above all the delicious food!!! ☆☆☆☆☆ We even danced and everything. Anyway, thank you all for that little time! BLESSINGS ?“
“Came here for a repast lunch. We ordered from the regular menu. The food is good and they obviously have a happening bar vibe in the evenings. Prices are reasonable and service was good considering we were at least 20 people. There were some hits and misses on some of the dishes but overall a good experience.“
“I came in here with my mom and we ordered a bunch of empanadas. The service was really fast, even though we ordered about 15 or so. Without us even asking, they organized everything so that we knew which empanadas were which. The empanadas are pretty good. My favorite was the Thai chili chicken, it was the most flavorful and delicious!!“
“Came here for lunch and ordered the birria bowl: rice, black beans, cheese, pico de gallo, and birria meat. The birria meat was great, tasty, tender, and delicious. The combo of salsa verde and sour cream added flavor to the dish. Portion was a bit small... My gf ordered the birria taco and she felt alright with it. The place is small and cozy. However, i had better birria in queens, which biased my taste and judgement on the taste...“
“It was nice to find a Halal place where I could sit down and eat. My only takeback was that I was hoping to find the usual chicken over rice or chicken Gyro, but they serve chicken, biryani, and other Indian base Halal foods. That was not an issue as what I ordered tasted very good. I had grilled chicken over salad and my friend had chicken tacos. There was a variety of food choices, so you will definitely find what you like and the food is tasty.“
“PROS1. Chicken Stew is good.2. Codfish Stew is good.3. Codfish salad is good.4. Fried Fish is good.5. Rice is well made.6. Chicken Gizzard Stew is good.7. Mangu is well made.8. Baked Chicken is good.9. Goat Stew is Super Tender and Flavorful. 10. Chicken Noodle Soup is Delicious. 11. Homemade Hot Sauce is Delicious“
“Excellent food, although the portions could be larger. We had sangria, fried calamari, Arroz Pescador. The service was truly out of the scale. Flaco even sang “Happy Anniversary” to us with a complimentary flan and candle. He was funny (dropped by our table on purpose just to say a joke or two). Really lovely person.Parking: Easy“
“This is my favorite Mexican restaurant around me. I love the horchata they make it so good and everything else aswell me n my family tried the entire menu I really recommend it mostly if you want a good horchata This is the placeKid-friendliness: Every time I call for delivery they answer me with kindness and that’s what we love“
“Space is limited, if possible I recommend buying to go. However, we were a group of 6 and the ladies kindly helped us accommodate two tables. The food was delicious, and the portion was more than enough. Perfect to get out of the fast food routine to eat something more homemade. I would definitely go again“
“Saludos a mi tía (twice removed) que trabaja aquí, y a lo otros trabajadores también, the food is pretty good, my only issue is the security at this place, there is no form of protection, the area can be pretty dangerous at times, so I am just concerned for the safety of the employees, sometimes the people that work here need help...“
“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!“
“Check this place if you in Downtown Garfield...Stop in for a snack and drink ...I got an arepa a few chicken empanada ? that meal was delicious ......ask about the natural fuit juice .They even have espresso and real Colombian coffee ....wake u rite up ...lol .....“
