“I unexpectedly was having 12-15 people over my house after a memorial service. I called Chanos and asked if they would be able to provide food for me within 2 hours. Surprisingly, they did not hang up the phone, but rather, the gentleman put me in contact with their caterer. She was extremely kind and helpful. She guided me in choosing food and the team got it done and delivered to my house right on time. I could not be more thrilled to have this amazing restaurant in the town I live in. Thank you!“

“This is a small business that makes you feel at home even from different ethnicity. We are a fmaily of 7 and accomodated us very well. My kids are extremely picky and 3 of them chose the chicken tacos and loved them! One had the quesadilla and he is the most picky he ate some and took the rest for the next day. I am very picky with Mexican authentic food but this surpass all the restaurants I have been to in PA (I live in PA)! Al Azar plate was awesome and my baby is not one to eat much and she was eating the rice. My husband had the Caldo beef. To my surprise that was the most tasty soup I have tasted and the 1st Mexican soup I have tasted! The horchata was out of this world good! Will definitely go back again! I told the server that my son had a shellfish allergy and respected that! I bet the rest of the dishes are just as good!Parking: It’s a small location with parking. But that is enough for us!Kid-friendliness: My kids were excited! The decorations made them so happy! The food was great! Respected my child’s allergies!“

“I love a home run...a trifecta :)It's a cozy but clean location...bright & warm vibe with the woods & metals. What can make it more welcoming???!!! A baked goods, sandwich, and other goodies glass showcase as soon as you step in....sorry no picture!The service is AMAZING by far #1 on my list of places BUT not over bearing. They took care of all our needs with kindness & gentleness while allowing us to enjoy our time together.The food tasted as if from FARM TO TABLE...fresh, crisp, warm and light. The arepas were perfect...my grandma and mom are straight from Colombia so arepas are huge...these meet the criteria, soft but cooked on the inside and grilled perfectly, moist not dry. My son's Eggs Benedict was delish and the bread wasn't the usual English muffin instead a thick slice of heavenly toast. The avocado toast was unbelievable and scrumptious. I had both Arepa dishes...both very good but the beef and cheese was exceptional :)Look forward to going back!“

“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!“

“After a day of thrifting, I looked up best restaurants near my location, and stumbled upon this incredible restaurant. It’s no frills, but truly incredible food and service. The staff were so kind and ensured we had everything we needed. My table ordered theceviche, lomo saltado, and some sausage and potato appetizers.Great price point, and a little gem in Paterson. Support this women owned business !! Can’t wait to head back“

“They are really excellent, the food is very good, the service is very excellent, a very good place to go to eat, it is quiet and it is very cheap. The only problem is that they do not prepare any type of cocktail, no alcohol, perhaps that is why not many people go, but apart from that That's why the service is first class....“

“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.“

“This is definitely worth it if you want to get your moneys worth for a brunch the food was not that bad very limited options, but the Caesar wrap that I got was pretty good with the fries.There is only one bathroom, so make sure that when you feel like you gotta pee already start a line. They constantly come around refilling your glasses, which is great. They have many options of sangrias and mimosas available. They were pretty tasty.The hookah was pretty affordable. I think it was $25 for a refill and $40 to get one. Make sure you get one before 4 o’clock because they kick you out by five and you can’t finish it but the hook was pretty smooth.Will be coming here again the music was great definitely a lot on repeat but it was great !! :)“

“I was there last night 3/30 to have the Whiting and French fries. At first I was very disappointed when I realized they didn't have anymore of this special "pink sauce" that tastes amazing. But when I got in the car and tasted that fish, it was fresh, well-seasoned, and tasted just as good with or with out the sauce. I will definitely be returning.“

“Moras Take Out is a culinary gem! From the Tequenos to the Grilled Chicken Sandwich, each dish is a flavor-packed delight. The attention to detail and commitment to authenticity shine through in every bite. The diverse menu, including Quesadillas and Vaca Frita, caters to various tastes. The Kids Menu is a thoughtful touch. With impeccable service and a charming atmosphere, Moras Take Out earns a solid 5 stars. A must-visit for a genuine taste. I’m really happy the location it’s in very close to me. Family owed which gives it that home cook meal feel.“

“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“

“Overall young chef and team they do a great job with service and establishment is really nice and clean. Only reason why I give you 4 stars it’s 16.62 for a small plate that barely had any mean although it tasted wonderful. Also rice was hard seemed like it was being switched but for a surprise visit good job.“

“My first impression of this restaurant was how great and top tier it looked. It feels very welcoming and vibrant. A atmosphere that gives cozy yet exciting vibes. The owner and staff have made me feel very welcomed. So much that I’m starting to become a regular. The food of course is delicious. Everything is made to perfection for my taste. Music is always good as well. Overall, this has became one of my favorite spots to eat chill and just have a great time. Me and my family enjoy coming here often. Thank you El Pilon for your amazing services.“

“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!“

“We are from out of town and we were looking for a family oriented restaurant that had good home cooking. The food was delicious, I had a whole snapper with white rice and tostones (green fried plantains) and my husband had white rice, black beans, salad and steak smothered in onions. Everything was Delicious and I even took my leftovers to the hotel for later. I can't say enough about the treatment we got from Denis the owner and his wife. He came to our table and we talked and even exchanged phone numbers. I would recommend anyone looking for a homey place with excellent food and staff to go and enjoy your meal there. You will not regret it.“

“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.“

“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...“

“Aside from the place looking rundown the food was amazing my bf and his mom order a chicken and beef empanada and it was fresh and said was good I however ordered there empanada Supreme which they make on the spot and I did my vegan style no meat and was one of the best empanadas I ever had. You do have a choice to have it with chosen beef or beans as well but if you go here you should deff try the empanada Supreme. I would definitely come back here if I'm ever in the area again.Vegetarian options: The empanada Supreme without any of the protein option or you can get the bean options I did not. Due to other dietary restrictions on my end.Dietary restrictions: Can adjust to your liking if your vegitarian“

“We went for Happy Hour and tried 4 appetizers. The beef empanadas were a good size, filled with beef and veggies. Was delicious. Come 4 in an order. Also tried the Yuka cheese sticks and I loved them. Soft and go great with the creamy side sauce. The jerk shrimp was also delicious with the warm bread it brings. Wings were good but a bit spicy for me since currently I cant eat anything spicy. Overall was a great meal and our waitress Brianna was very attentive. Will definitely be back.“

“A little piece of “tiquicia” away from Costa Rica. The GalloPinto, the Mondongo soup and the arroz con leche are definitely made by a costarricense cocinera that really knows about costarican sazón. Place is small and cozy and gives you that I am home feeling.Wheelchair accessibility: No wheelchair access.“

“This is one of the eateries I visit when in town. Although I don’t live in Paterson anymore Paterson hands down has some of the best food. The food here is always worth it, I always have leftovers.Pros: Reasonable pricing, large portion sizes and the food is consistently delicious.Cons: Parking is crappy, it’s meter parking and all the parking spots are always taken.Parking: Don’t double park it’s dangerous because cars like to fly down the street and officers are out to give tickets.“

“My boyfriend was in the mood for Mexican, so I searched on Grubhub and this was the first time ordering from El Mirador and I have to say that it was awesome! So tasty, the food got to me still hot and the portion was just right! I am a foodie and the food here was fresh and great tasting. Will definitely be a regular customer!“

“Found this place via Yelp and decided to give it a try. We ordered stewed chicken, pernil and a side of chicharron. The stewed chicken was delicious. I highly recommend you give it a try. The chicken is moist and has a ton of flavor. The pernil was moderate. I personally found it a bit tough but the chicharron was out of this world. They re-fry it for you in the spot and you pay per weight. It was super fatty and crispy! Thank you Yelp fam for putting this on my radar. I'm definitely going back to try their rotisserie chicken and their chicken soup.“

“This restaurant is definitely my new go to spot. Authentic food, fresh ingredients, and absolutely delicious! I been looking for a real deal place like this in NJ for awhile. I’m happy I found Rinconcito VaKano. I will definitely be returning.“

“Oh boy, hold onto your forks, folks, because I just had the most mind-boggling experience with the Friends Of The Chef weight loss meal prep program! I mean, seriously, my taste buds are in shock while my scale did a whole celebration.First off, let's talk about the weight loss wizardry that happened here. I signed up for delivery on Friday for Sunday, started chowing down on these remixes of my childhood favorites, and BAM! In just four days, I've dropped 4.4 lbs.!

Is this sorcery or just some culinary version of a magic show?Now, let's chat about these remixes, shall we? It's like the chef took my beloved comfort foods from back in the day and gave them a snazzy makeover. I'm talking about food glow-ups that would make Cinderella jealous. Tres golpes? Transformed into a low-calorie sensation that tastes like a symphony of flavor explosions. La bandera? It's like the chicken went to culinary school and graduated with honors in being healthier but still lip-smackingly delicious.And the taste, oh dear taste buds, they're doing a conga line of joy! It's like a flavor party in my mouth and everyone's invited. I'm tempted to put on some dancing shoes and do the cha-cha just to express my taste bud's enthusiasm. The taste is so spot-on, I'm half-convinced my abuela must've been secretly hired as a consultant because it's like a teleportation device to my childhood dinner table. It's like they bottled up the nostalgia and sprinkled it on every dish. Seriously, if a meal can induce time-travel-like nostalgia, this is it.But wait, there's more! I'm practically counting the seconds till I can place my order for next week's meals. I'm on the edge of my seat like it's a cliffhanger episode of my favorite TV show. Who needs suspenseful dramas when you've got meal prep excitement?So there you have it, folks. Friends Of The Chef's weight loss meal prep program is the real deal – a journey of flavors, weight loss surprises, and an abuela-approved trip down memory lane.

“I can't give a full review because it was my 1st time visiting the establishment. I can give a review of what I ordered & of the person that served me. Everything looked & smelled good. The person who served me was kind & friendly. I had the picadillo with white rice, sweet plantains, a fried yuca fritter, & a side of beans. It all was very tasty, with the exception of the fritter. My only qualm was the pricing for what I ordered. It came to $29, including 2 bags of cheese doodles.Would I go back... Yes. Everything looked vibrant & fresh... I wanted to try EVERYTHING.“

“I RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT 100%."My experience was exceptional from the moment I walked through the door. The cozy atmosphere and typical Peruvian decor immediately transported me to the streets of Lima. The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff who were happy to recommend dishes. Paco was very attentive and kind to us and gave the best service.The food was truly delicious and authentic, I highly recommend trying the leche de tigre mr. Yellow pepper that was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection.This restaurant is the end.“
