This place is an absolute hidden gem. The front door is literally located between 2 service bay doors at Sansone Toyota. Don't let the hard to find and unusual location sway you, the journey of discovery is just part of the fun. Once through the door, you take the stairs up to a beautifully maintained cafe oasis. We were going for breakfast and left sad that we had no room left to stay all day and enjoy the lunch buffet. They have a beautiful open kitchen concept where you can see all the fresh food being prepared. The breakfast was excellent with wonderful fresh ingredients and satisfying portion sizes. Don't miss the pupusas, a house specialty. The owner, Rosa, is as sweet as can be and runs the restaurant with various family members. We were staying at the nearby Fairfield Inn due to a flight cancellation at Newark Airport and made the walk over. Not the easiest walk due to a lack of sidewalks in the area, but there is a crosswalk to get across the busy highway. We were able to successfully use our airline food vouchers (come as virtual visa cash cards), so we were pleased with that as well. Rosa's should not be missed if you are in the area!

A hidden gem while you wait for your car to get maintenance. They have smoothies & I usually get saltado or pupusas which are a good portion and very yummy. Service is great & it’s rather quiet depending on the time of day!

This place is 10 out of 10.
Went to my first maintenance appointment in this location and I had an empty stomach. I was told that it could take up to 2.5 hours for my car to be ready. I was already thinking about getting a Uber and coming back later but then they told me that there was a restaurant upstairs. This place is so clean and the service was amazing. The food was perfect. Now I know where to go when I bring my car for maintenance. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This cafe is good when you’re waiting for your car being checked on. I like the presentations of their food. I ordered the Philly Cheese Steak which comes a side of fries. Fresh and delicious. If anyone is willing to have a meal while waiting, this is the place.

You would never expect this place to turn out an absolutely delicious meal but that is exactly what we had. We ordered the Bandeja Paisa - the rice was fluffy, the meat was perfectly seasoned and cooked, the beans were so flavorful. I would literally drive out of my way to come back here.

Horrible experience the lady who checked me out barely a Goodmorning no COURTESY at all and I’m Hispanic so horrible I ordered only three pupusas I paid and all receipt said 11:32 it’s 12:08 mind you this lady said “we always have pupusas” okay so it should be ready and quick easy. I waited and waited patiently I saw customers come in and out customers who sat and ordered and immediately got their food. ABSOLUTELY NEVER COMING HERE AND THEY finally give me what i ordered and forgot my drink. Get better staffing because this is horrible and absolutely disgraceful service. Si no saben como ser atento a sus clientes mejor que cierran.

My husband and I are waiting on my car. We thought to grab some food from Rosa’s while we waited. Did NOT disappoint. We got pupusas, empanaditas, and cheddar bacon burger. Excellent service as well!

As I was getting my car serviced and the wait was 2 hours. My husband and I stumbled upon this hidden gem. Not sure if it would be good, we decided to have lunch there while we wait. It was truly amazing! The food was great and very affordable. The service was great and the people very kind and humble. It gave me the feel that it was a family owned business. I do have to say I look forward to my next car service visit or I just may go to have lunch. Great place!
