“This is the best Latin restaurant in town. The food is fresh daily and melts in your mouth. The hot table consists of pulled pork, chicken, and beef stew among other surprises. There is also a full menu. The price is right for such good food. The servers are always happy to see you and the chef owner is always there cooking up a storm. Do not miss this place if you are passing through or live/work in the area. You will become an instant regular.“
“The fried calamari made an excellent chioce for antipasti - the squid was fresh & batter was tasty. For secondi, the branzino (fish of the day) was impressive as well - fish was fresh and I loved the charred and crispy skin. I was glad that I had some space for dessert, as the tiramisu was exactly the way I liked it - moist with decent amount of coffee flavour. Waiters were friendly, and service was good and quick.“
“The food had so much flavor and variety. Hot bar and food made to order! Music and atmosphere on point. We had empanadas (green sauce is a MUST TRY) we also had Sancocho with white rice . Too many options. Most beautiful decolonized menu, space, and atmosphere. Art is mind blowing. Friendly staff !“
“NO JOKE! The best empanada I've ever had!!!Its golden, flaky pastry shell was perfectly crisp. The filling itself was chock’full of seasoned meats, onions, and a hint of spice. Every bite was a burst of savory goodness, making it a memorable and must-try treat for anyone seeking an exceptional empanada.Vegetarian options: Cheese all day! Plenty of options for vegetarians.Kid-friendliness: Some of the nicest people in the world run this store. They are friendly and what kid DOESN’T like empanadas????!!!!!“
“5 Stars for the Service, son buena gente l gente! Its healthy and clean. You gotta try some foods ,maybe you like it maybe you dont but look for recommendations that the staff will give you. Empanadas look banging tho but over all, great experience.“
“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!“
“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“

“Walking into this place transported me right back home. Latin music on point, all the staff were so kind, food is delicious and definitely a fair price point for the area. I got el sándwich Cubano for $12, which is their bestseller and it did not disappoint. Best Cuban sandwich I’ve found in the 5 boros. Fresh off the press, sauce was legit and everything tasted delicious.“
“Habichuelas con dulce. A national drink of the Dominican Republic, usually made during Easter.Sold for years in this corner by Nena a mainstay in the Dominican Community. Who was really sweet.A constant line of folks come and go. I was lucky and had no wait. As I heard some days, the lines are pretty longThe spot is pretty popular. On the day I went, there was media as well.Made with red beans, cinnamon, nutmeg, coconut milk, evaporated milk, and dunked with milk cookiesThis drink is great. It's almost like hot chocolate but not quiet. It's warm , silky smooth little nutty, creamy and sweet. It'a known as a deseert as well.It does have a holiday drink vibe to it.Habichuelas means beansThe drink is $2. They also sell a corn based dessert. Looked popular. Will get it next time.“
“You are not coming here for atmosphere, as there is none, however, staff is very nice. But, if you wanna have a delicious plate of Dominican food, chicharrones. moro, pernil, rice & and some delish well seasoned beans, than this is your place. Everything here is awesome & served w/beautiful smiles, cause that's important too. Very friendly, sweet staff. Salud!“
“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.“
“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 place is definitely serving the community with delicious food at low prices! The pork chop over rice and fried chicken/baked chicken over rice were $8 each! It also came with beans and a fair amount of food. I think the smaller plates are $5, so wow - what a deal! It's worth the visit, so please support this man!“
“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 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.“
“This is a classic Dominican spot in the LES. I’ve been here on multiple occasions and the food is always on point. I got me the El Dominicano Sandwich and it was amazing. The bread was good. I like how they had the maduros in the sandwich. The queso frito added that salty cheesy taste. Pickled onions added that pickly taste and the sauce topped it off. Great sandwich. The pork was tough when I had it but I still enjoyed the sandwich and would definitely come back. @jefeeatsss“
“Best mangu in Hudson county hands down!!! Prove me wrong!! This Dominican queen puts her whole heart out to bring you some of the best Dominican food in your life. She needs no menu she doesn't need a variety. The food of the day is what you get- there are some small options but her daily meals are amazing!!! She care about every customer they comes in.“
“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“
“Good place...I would come back. I got some shrimp and octopus salad in a vinaigrette to stay. Very fresh... very good, served in a bowl on top of some chopped lettuce with a slice of lime. Some of the workers here don't really speak any English... but there was someone here who was able to help me even though my Spanish kind of sucks. A delivery of food from one of the restaurant's vendors was coming in while I was standing at the counter to order, and I had to keep moving out of the guy's way as he went in and out of the store with the hand truck. A bit of a pain, but I forgive them since they've got a fully functional and clean All-Gender Bathroom. The stuff here ain't cheap, but it's quality.“
“The food was absolutely delicious. We waited at least 1 hour for them to tell us they didn't have pernil or oxtail. But the churasco steak was delicious. And they made up for this by giving us delicious empanadas and dessert on the house.“
“I’ve been going to Rossy’s for years. Her food is authentic and delicious. I recently got a Dominican cake for a birthday and it’s honestly my favorite. It’s half guava and half crema. She does an amazing job making Dominican cake. I also got a cheese and chicken empanada which was perfectly seasoned and cooked. I’ve ordered food from her countless times and it’s always delicious and affordable priced.“
“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.“
“Amazing food. My favorites were the chili sliders very flavorful and presentation was super cute. The guanabana ( soursop) juice was sooooo delicious, the waitress had recommended it. It looks like it can get very crowded especially at night and on weekends. I went on a Tuesday for lunch ( 1pm) not crowded at all but by 2 pm it was starting to get quite busy. Good Comfort Dominican Food.“
“My family and I were visiting the neighborhood and we found Tina’s. The food is delicious!! The service and atmosphere were great. We were able to enjoy our gathering along with the food. We had chicharrón, the breakfast special, fried cheese, chicken soup, coffee. We were really happy with the “
“I was in the area visiting a friend and I was looking for a good Dominican restaurant so I googled Dominican restaurant near me and this place came up and I went there and baby when I tell you they did not disappoint!!!! Food was on point .. I had the bacalao and white rice and beans..excellence taste I will be back….“
“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!!!!?“
“Great stop after seeing the Met Cloisters! We were looking for some good, local food on our NYC trip and this place did not disappoint. I enjoyed the Mix Mofongo and loved the flavor of the fried plantains with the Chicken, Pork, and Cheese toppings. The restaurant itself is very casual, with TVs showing broadcasts in Spanish, but the food was professionally presented and delicious.“
“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.“
“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!!“
“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!“
“From the moment I walked through the doors, the hospitality and atmosphere stood out. The restaurant comes to life in all the right ways from the lay out, to the music, to the aesthetic. Our waitress was incredibly kind and her customer service was refreshing to experience as a customer. She was super helpful in showing me how to navigate the menu filled with such delicious options. And what one comes here for, the food. I have lived on the east coast my whole life and this was the best authentic Latin American cuisine I have the pleasure of experiencing. From the variety of tasteful empanadas, to the delicious chicaron and tostones. If you are a fan of Hispanic culture and cuisine, I couldn’t recommend a spot better than this one. Do yourself the favor and come through.“
“(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“
“Came across this Dominican restaurant ?? located on Market St (used to be a Puerto Rican restaurant) So happy I did! Real resh typical Authentic Dominican food. Enjoyed some white rice, tasty red beans and the best breaded chicken breast! A side of maduros...and washed it down with a morír soñando ? Just what i needed after returning from La Republica myself ??⛱️?? Clean inside, reasonable prices and great service! Give it a try“
“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!!!“
“Dinner with my Sister, last minute change of location due to cold weather. Met in Hoboken with no idea where to go. Found this little gem. Warm, cozy amd cute, cite, cute. My sister gave them five stars for atmosphere. Food is delicious and excellent value. Service waa friendly and responsive, ding'd them a star as they forgot pur soda's ( its BYOB) and dinged them a star on food because the empanadas didn't blow our minds. (It was fine). Every other dish was excellent. Anytime I'm in Hoboken, now we know where to go. Great for date night and intimate occasions. Small, so not ideal for large groups“
“This is my favorite place to go too! They are always so kind and nice to me and treat me very well! I’m learning my Spanish more and more with the lady there!I enjoy the pizza here! It's not so greasy and always tastes fresh! I do wish there was more pepperoni on the pizza.There wings are amazing! I always get flats a couple dollars more but amazing! Fired to Perfection!The desert wasn't noting crazy to go about and it's wasn't as sweet and didn't really hit the spot! Definitely recommend that they get tiramisu or batchThis is also my favorite place! They are always very nice and kind to me and treat me very well! I'm learning Spanish more and more with the lady there!I enjoy the pizza here! It's not as greasy and always tastes fresh! I wish there was more pepperoni on the pizza.Their wings are amazing! I always buy flats for a couple dollars more, but they are amazing! Shot to perfection!The desert wasn't crazy and it wasn't that sweet and it really didn't hit the spot! I definitely recommend having tiramisu or lots“
“Owners are super nice. They care about people individually and always polite. Very clean establishment. For the price the portions are a nice size. The fresh juice options are endless. The large is a full meal in itself. Always a pleasure stopping in. Parking is tricky, but they are quick with service so double parking is a norm.“
“If you're looking for the Spanish home made taste then this is it. The beans taste like grandma made them and everything else is delicious, I really enjoy eating here often.Vegetarian options: They usually have. rice, beans, steam vegetables, salads and other side dishes to offer non meat eaters options“
“I returned last week to the rooftop brunch, there isn't much variety on the food menu, I don't like drinking the mimosa in the jars they give out ?, the atmosphere was pleasant and so was the attention of the waitress. Her name is Genesis.I loved. I was on the 2nd floor, although the air conditioning is not felt much, a group of 18 people paid 65 each for brunch. Good atmosphere, very varied music.“
“Since the New owners took over the location it has been nothing but the BEST, We order every other day, & Also we had chosita cater parties for us the FOOD is Delicious with mouth watering Flavors, & the most important is their #1 customer service, We will continue ordering & catering from this place with the current owners.“
“Pretty good Spanish buffet spot. I had pepper steak for $4 bucks, yes thats right that pic under this review, small portion size was 4 dollars. I've come to this place on more on one occasion and have even sat down to eat there. Its not really a big spot, but just big enough to enjoy lunch with someone or by yourself. The prices are really exceptional. To be honest those days when money is tight or your on a specific budget, I definitely spend my dollar here. Everyone here is spanish, but you can just point to what you want, and they really try to work with you anyway, cause I don't think they can speak or understand English all that well, but they are really pleasant people so you try to see past that. I have to say that one time I left because they didn't have any more sweet plantains, and I just eat my roasted pork without it, so I just didn't get to taste that. Anywho, good place, great food, it wins my vote, only for lunch though, not a place I would come to for dinner, just not my type of hype.“
“Saw the restaurant on YouTube and decided to go. Not sure what I got. But it was amazing. The beans were excellent, full of flavor and not over powering. The pork was nice and tender, used a plastic knife to cut easily. The place itself is honestly a questionable place, hole in the wall place. However the chef Anita and the server (seen on YouTube) were amazing. $20 for two people. Salad (not pictures) was also included“
“Home-cooked meal and just like at home service! Have been stopping here occasionally on my drive home to satisfy my dominican cravings or when i’m too tired to cook. The food is great and the selection allows for something for each of my picky family members ! Not only is the food delicious and the service oh so friendly, but it is definitely priced right ! Sure to please, Master Kitchen is worth your while.“
“I saw they offered catering and I set up 10 food trays with them which they efficiently provided at the exact time I needed it.The food is delicious and I must say the pernil and fried chicken bites are a must!I couldn’t have asked for a better caterer , 5/5 hands down .“
“I like to eat here. The bread and coffee are delicious! They should improve the way the waiter serves customers. When I was at this restaurant, I had chicharrón, and it was almost cold. Another dish I had was delicious, but it presentation was not good.“
