Spanish Restaurants near Teaneck, NJ

“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.“

“My family and I were delighted with the 1A service, Mr. Mauricio was the one who served us today, it should be noted that he is attentive, friendly and very helpful, he kept us informed of the activities they do in the restaurant and in truth he never I had previously gone to a place here in NJ that made us feel at home, thank you Noches de Colombia for such delicious food and especially thanks to Mauricio for such cordial service, may God continue to bless you all, behind a good leader oh a good work team, blessings!!“

“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.“

“Siento de Corazón que el dueño haya fallecido en un incidente de verdad era una gran persona y trabajo muchísimo para dejar su legado ? La comida es 5 estrellas servicio lo único es que debe decirle a los clientes que la propina está incluida a veces falta de comunicación pero el lugar es increíble el picante la comida es súper increíble“

“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“

“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...“

“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.“

“There is not much variety of food, the atmosphere is good but there is no place to give celebration surprises, I didn't like that. I went to celebrate my first year anniversary and I couldn't give the surprise because they didn't do that there. That's what I liked. I'm quite disappointed.“

“Over the course of a month, I had the opportunity to go a few times to eat there or take out to eat at home. In NYC, it was the only restaurant where the food seemed homemade, everything was always delicious, highlighting the Gazpacho, the Croquetas, the various Bocatas, grilled artichokes and, without a doubt, El Burger. The service could be a little more attentive, especially the people preparing for delivery.“

“The closest you will get to Dominican food without being in Dominican Republic. The sangria is also extremely strong, which is an amazing thing. Absolutely love this place, strongly recommend everything on the menu especially the rotisserie chicken, best chicken ever, my go-to spot every time I cross the GWB. 5/5“

“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.“

“Uncle Peter’s was a wonderful dining experience! The service was great. Our entrees included the grilled skirt steak and pesto gnocchi. The steak was cooked to perfection, and the pesto gnocchi was very delicious— a great vegetarian option. The crème brûlée was fantastic, and delicious cocktails as well. Everything was top notch quality and there is nothing better than that ✨ would 100% come back and recommend to others ?“

“Yes Mama is one of the best discoveries of Astoria this year!Jessica runs the business all by herself and does a damn good job of it! Not only did she cook homemade Puerto Rican recipes, but she hires entertainment along with having a great selection of wine.I had the Carne Guisada (beef stew with white rice) and it felt like I was eating a mother’s cooking. Paired it with a couple glasses of Rosasera and a lovely Latin jazz band playing in the background and it was heaven. There were even some board games for us the play with while we waited on our food.Topped off the night by splitting a plate of the coquito flan served with the most adorable heart shaped spoons. It was so rich and decadent.If you live in or venture out to Astoria, please please please pay this place a visit! You’ll be so happy you did!“

“Always have such a good experience when I dine here. The food is incredible. Drinks are tasty and fun. The staff is always so welcoming and lovely. Definitely recommend for a date night or a night out with friends! Oh and the churros are out of this world!“

“Had a cute date here with my partner after wanting to try this place for a long time. I’m from spain and I thought the food was great actually! We got the setas, pulpo, and paella de mariscos. All of the seafood was tasty and cooked really well. Definitely will return.“

“I come at least 2 times per week. Very friendly staff, a lot of food options and drinks. Extremely organize and live music as wells. You can not go wrong coming here. Thanks you Jonathan for always bring a good service and being very professional.“

“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.“

“Came Monday evening on a date - this is a good spot for such because its cute and quiet inside while not being overwhelmingly stimulating we ordered 2 dishes to share and both were excellent, however, i am in awe over their prices as we bought these 2 dishes and 1 beer and the bill was $60 - i left pretty hungry still! i will say the food is cooked to perfection - the steak was juicy and the pork was delish. the sauce on the french fries and really just everything had been perfectly seasoned. def recommend!“

“Blast from the past Spanish style restaurant with stone and tiles and wrought iron trim that evokes old Madrid. Tapas are serious eating here, as the crowd of locals will testify. Croquettas are creamy and full of ham, delicious olives, yummy crab cake, cheeses, Iberico pork, paellas. Their large menu has many options and hearty portions. Fun night out for your taste buds...“

“We could not be happier with how our evening turned out at Olar Noso.A pretty place located right off of Tappan road, there’s ample parking and not a long wait time around 20:00 to be comfortably seated. The restaurant is spacious, lively but not noisy, and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. Liv, our server, was on point with giving explanations and suggestions on the entrees. We absolutely loved the Salad: I think it consisted of: shredded ricotta salata, pear, pomegranate, arugula, walnuts, and farro (wheat berries), yum, a perfect symphony of flavors which has become one of my favorite dishes. The three of us ordered to share, we commenced with the Gnocchetti "Little pillows" of goat cheese and ricotta with hand-crushed organic tomato, caramelized eggplant, basil, ricotta salata, we found it to be a perfect combination of flavors with every bite. Next were the pizzas; Soppressata pizza topped withtomato, mozzarella, Soppressata, chili oil and honey (the added honey complimented the chili oil). Next, I was outvoted to try the pistachio pizza.. I’ve never had this in my life and asked Liv (as a fellow foodie) for guidance… with mixed reviews, it was decidedly my least favorite, however, it would be interesting to try it with pistachio nuts in a 60/40 blend (in a Vitamix) with ricotta as a spreadable topping (similar to the way a Nutella pizza is prepared).The food was amazing, you can tell their heart is in courtship with creativity by their constant pursuit to invent new and well balanced entrees (with lots to choose from).It’s great to see the way the restaurant blends locally sourced and seasonal ingredients into new creations bringing the farm to table experience for their patrons to enjoy. I would absolutely recommend this place and look forward to visiting again.“

“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)“

“Love love love this place. In my opinion is the best authentic Columbian restaurant. Their mini empanada beef or chicken are a MUST!! You can't have just one. They bake everything onsite. I've had their grilled chicken and it's juicy, plus tostones (fried green plantains) and sweet plantains, salad bowls are amazing! I always look forward to going back. Parking- It's street parking, no meters but it's on a very busy street.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This has got to be one of the best restaurants in New Jersey. I am not exaggerating when I say they have the most tender and delicious octopus I've ever had. All the food was amazing here. Duck empanadas, Spanish octopus and the squid ink paella - WOW! Everyone working here is super nice and has a passion for the great food they are serving up. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This restaurant does seafood right. The paella was perfect, as were the soccer shrimp. The appetizers consisting of fried calamari and shrimp in garlic sauce were excellent. The unsung hero of the meal was the fresh baked bread that allowed the delicious sauce to be sopped up like sponge. The only real downside is the dining room that lacks any real character or vibe.“

“On a very rainy night Comfortable seat at the bar. Having one of the 3 special on their menu Very professional old school set up great staff of 2 that are always very friendly Mussel fresh and plenty the sole delicious with either a side of rice or broccoli I had the rice. And flan was the dessert It's a go to for a single person dinner romantic one with someone special or larger party's the place is very inviting once inside. Don't let the old outside fool you.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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 rarely write a review but this restaurant deserves it! Trust me, this is real Spanish food. The flavors take me to my home memories and the service feels like if you’re in Spain. Friendly, attentive and on point! Give this guys a go, you won’t regret“

“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!!“

“This is by far, and I mean BY FAR the cleaniest Dominican restaurant i been in. Pastelitos on point, that's hard to find. Most importantly Fresh, Good vibes plus excellent service, We all know that's hard to find now in days. Im really happy with this spot. After pandemic restaurant and service not same anymore, and more expensive. Definitely go back.“

“Celebrated my sisters birthday with 40 family members and wow! Ricky the manager was great, kind, professional and accommodating. Restaurant is clean atmosphere with the live band and DJ and a nice dance floor for some good fun! The decor is gorgeous and Brian our waiter was phenomenal! Would recommend for dinner or a party the service was spectacularParking: $20 valet cash“

“While I might usually shun such an over-the-top, theme-park style spot, La Barra, located in the heart of Jose Andres' bustling El Mercado Little Spain is undeniable. Surrounded by stalls and stations serving the best of Spanish delicacies, La Barra is the market's casual eatery, perfect for a lively lunch. We took a spot at their bar, and started with a couple drinks- white wine for her and traditional Spanish G&T for me. For lunch, we went light with a sampling of the classics. The patatas bravas were crispy, the pan con tomate was fresh and light, and the cebolla asado, a grilled onion cold salad with blue cheese and hazelnuts, was an elegant touch. A perfect option for a convivial but casual lunch near Hudson Yards.“

“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 a restaurant specializing in grilled chicken. I have only gotten takeouts from here so I cannot speak to what the restaurant atmosphere is like. The food portion is generous an prices are reasonable for the neighborhood. I usually get the half chicken. The chicken seasoning is good and I like the smoky grill flavor, but I find that the meat can be quite dry and tough.“

“Celebrated our daughter’s 30th birthday it was absolutely wonderful. The food and service were top notch. The food choices and amount of food they serve is great! Would definitely recommend for your next party. The room was spacious and we were given access early for decorating. The owners were delightful to work with.Wheelchair accessibility: Ample parking and wheelchair accessible which we needed.“

“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“

“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.“

“Fantastic food! The grilled calamari was the star dish - beautifully cooked with some great flavors! As was the octopus, patatas brava and the paella valencia. Also the sangria was delicious - fruity and boozy - and went down really well with the food. Good service too. Will definitely head back for more tapas and sangria soon.“

“I loved it. I was pleased with the attention and the welcome of the people who work and serve there. They tell me that at night they have a great atmosphere. It was not very crowded, which made me feel comfortable. The food was fabulous. They have parking and very lively music. I went from the Bronx and I would gladly return. The portions of food are good. I ordered churrasco with fried yucca and for my son, churrasco with shrimp. We also ordered the Paisa tray. Everything was delicious and the pina colada is delicious. fantastic we enjoyed everythingParking: They have valet parking“

“Absolutely delicious! You have to try their Sopes with one or two meats and all the fixings - the flavors are incredible! If you're in the mood for something more laid-back, their soft tacos are a perfect choice. The menu offers a wide variety of options, and I guarantee you'll love whatever you choose. Highly recommend!“
