Dominican Restaurants near Bayonne, NJ

“First time here and the service was outstanding! The young lady was patient and so pleasant. The food looked beautiful and the presentation was excellent! My food was delicious I don’t eat meat so I had two types of rice, vegetables and both beans they had. My daughter had their quarter chicken with rice and beans. The prices are dirt cheap which is surprising considering the economy. I’ll return for sure!!!“

“From the first moment you arrive in this restaurant the stuff gives you a great feeling. Very friendly stuff, it is a kind restaurant to hang out with buddies or with your date. tasty meals, talented chef de cuisine, reasonable pay and attentive service. Highly recommended.“

“Dominican food, and what a treat! Large selection a la cantina (pick & mix), lots of stables and a joyful mood. I think i heard someone singing somewhere...But again; the food. Big flavours, hearty chunks of meat, crunchy salads, spiced rice. What a feast to the senses.A rare 5-star!“

“Food is good, hit or miss on what's in the trays volume wise. The ladies English is so so, hard to communicate sometimes. Also there should be a line so that it's orderly. People just stroll in like they own the pace (the regulars I guess) and cut in front of people. They need a better ordering system. Also there's no posted prices, but the prices were reasonable.“

“Great food and great service. The food reminds me of home and is reasonably priced. We keep coming back for the ox tail stew, ribs, beef steak, porkchops, dumplings and the boneless chicharonnes de pollo. Most meals are served with white or yellow rice and beans or vegetables. If you want to try something different, they have the beef liver and squid ink fried rice which remind me of squid ink Paella. The combination meals are a great option to try out different dishes. The staff and owners always greet you with a warm welcome.“

“I love everything in there menu!! a They serve us so much food for cheap! yessss“

“I ordered from there last night and they were so nice, chatted with me while I waited for food to be ready and were super welcoming, The restaurant had a good atmosphere and the food was incredible!! I’m eating the leftovers now and still as delicious as yesterday night after reheating.“

“Excellent!“

“Es el mejor, la atención, la amabilidad 💯“

“Truly a neighborhood gem. Visited here many times and never disappointed. Great prices and consistently great prices. I usually get the chicken chunks (boneless) but I had the chicken mofongo instead, my friend ordered the cheese monfongo. My mofongo was great, wasn’t expecting to have two nicely fried pieces of chicken as a garnish, I also like that the mofongo portion wasn’t huge and comes with a side of salad (great for such a carb-heavy dish). Great flavors, but would’ve loved to taste a bit more garlic. The consumé that comes with the mofongo adds all the flavor you need.

Service was okay, atmosphere is nice and it’s great that they accept card and cash.“

“The best Dominican restaurant. The food with a unique flavor. The service is excellent, everyone is friendly. The natural juices are very good, especially the Morí sonando my family and I were very happy .The most important is eat healthy and good.“

“DELICIOUS! Best mofongo & chicharron in Manhattan. Takes exactly like the one in PR that my family serves me. Everything is so flavorful and juicy and the chicharron is so incredibly crispy but still fatty. Was perfect for takeout and I’ll def be going back all the time“

“The servers are attentive and the kitchen delivers quality. Nothing here hides behind heavy sauces. The rating scale should extend for places like this. The employees deliver outstanding customer support. The entire experience left me wanting nothing more.“

The coffee quality is exceptional, and the ambiance is cozy and inviting. The staff is friendly and efficient.

Highly recommended for a great cup and a comfortable spot to relax or work.“

“It was my first time at the restaurant and I love their food. Their food tastes really good and mostly affordable. A very good review of this restaurant motivated me to check them out and I wasn’t disappointed! I will love to visit again. Dominican foods are awesome 🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“I ordered from two good to go, which is an app that gives you discounted meals for less at the end of the night. They gave me liver which I’m not a fan of liver, but I gave it to a friend. I got potato salad. That was delicious a soup with pork in it and vegetables, rice and beans and a vegetable dish with okra and plantains. I will try out their fried chicken soon everything was packaged very good and the place looks very clean. A+

Parking: Very busy street and hard to find parking in“

“Generous portions and reasonable prices. The chicken stew and pork shoulder are great. Pair that with some beans and plantains for an excellent meal. Their empanadas are my favorite in the area. Perfectly crispy on the outside and moist on the inside“

“I got married on 5/25/25 and the very next day we were having a BBQ. With no time to cook I decided to cater. I ordered from Caribbean Station and it was amazing. It was fresh and so delicious, everyone talked about the food. Since then I have catered my Labor Day BBQ and next will be my daughter’s baby shower. They are the best!“

“Everybody is so nice and quick to serve you. The food is absolutely amazing at a really good price.. all the food is made in advance and placed on burners behind the glass you chose everything you wish to have and enjoy… I’d love to come every day if I could“

“la mejor comida dominicana de area“

“In love with this place could eat here everyday omg I dream about this place often the sauces the ribs the chicharrones omg so crispy so juicy can’t wait to have the brisket they was out when I went but most def soon will try, oh and the freaking corn bread beyond amazing“

“My husband & I found El Tablon by accident the other day. We love the other Dominican restaurant on Forest Ave, so we wanted to compare. The restaurant is small, but very nice and we were able to get served immediately. The people were very accommodating (my husband always wants extra beans with his rice). We had the oxtails, which were delicious and less expensive than the other place. They also seem to be available every day, unlike the other restaurant. We shared a meal, which was plenty for the two of us. We plan to go back because they have a great selection and we want to try the other items on the menu.“

“To the cook and the lady at the register, thank you very much for the amazing food I got tonight. I even got a nickname, which makes me very happy to be able to walk into a location where I’m not treated just as a customer. I’m also treated as a family. Como me llamo la muchacha mas que rueda gracias a ustedes de parte de mi y mi familia“

“The Dominican food is delicious very authentic 🇩🇲🥘🥩“

“I ate at this restaurant during my Christmas vacation visit to New York. It is fantastic! The staff is friendly and welcoming. The food is so tasty. It was better than the big advertised restaurants. If you want a real delicious meal and some great music while you eat, go to this place. It's a hidden gem.“

“Seriously the best place! Reminds me of home! The empanadas are the best!!!!“

“Is a traditional latino spot,to eat good,dominican specialties.“

“Stopped here out of curiosity and we were not disappointed. The cheapest and yummiest Dominican food Ive had in NJ so far!

We got 2 lunches of white rice and stew chicken, 2 orders of beans and an order of sweet plantains. Total: $22! They serve SOOOO much food, we had left overs. My plate in the photo is after me eating quite a bit already. We then went back and got 2 tres leches, each were $3.50. Very yummy, I highly recommend this restaurant. In regards to customer service they were so sweet, professional and attentive. I wish this business lots of good fortune and will spread the word. They are amazing.“

“El pan de sal o conocido en Puebla como las famosas monas son mis favoritas! Muy buenas! recomiendo este lugar 100%!! 🙏🏼apoyen!!“

“Ever since I moved to the Island, good take out food is hard to find. But this place here, their food was delicious!!! I got chicken with arroz con gandules y frijoles rojos. My children loved it, it's a new place for me to come to. For less than 20$ it's worth it.“

“The overall experience ensures I'll make this a regular stop in my dining schedule. Staff answers curiosities about ingredients happily. I'll be back if I'm in this part of town. Portal Latino serves food at its prime moment. This restaurant exceeded all my hopes.“

“Service was exceptional; the staff was attentive and friendly. The food was outstanding prepared with care and full of flavor. A special highlight was the complimentary bottle of wine and appetizers provided to our table, which added a delightful touch to the evening. Overall, Toscana offers a fantastic dining experience with excellent service and delicious food. Highly recommended!“

“I love everything in there menu!! a They serve us so much food for cheap! yessss“

“The gyros!!! And try the specials“

“The food was great and the service was great. It’s not a huge sour note, but the music was really loud. That would be fine, but it kept stopping, part of an ad would play, it would start back up, then change songs, then stop... Really a loud, random experience. It’s one of those “can’t they tell this is happening?” moments. In spite of that, I still recommend it for the food. Huge portions, tasty (but adding the hot sauce was kind of necessary).“

“Definitely they offer good and fresh food, the delivery time accurate, if they tell you 30 minutes it is. Humble people, that restaurant cares about its customers. I’m very picky about eating and this is my third time ordering from this Restaurant, and The Brasa from this location on New York Avenue exceeded my expectations. 👍🏼😋👏🏼“

“Food is affordable, large portions and very delicious

Unfortunately the people in the area aka the ones who’s lives matter should be the only concern.

The fatigue is real with these people all over America but an angel must be watching over this restaurant“

“Great food the young lady that takes my order on the phone a nice person always gets it right when it's delivered it's delivered with great presentation the salad looks fabulous it tastes wonderful but everything that you order they show a nice presentation the amount is very generous the prices are really great but more than anything else these are DR people true DR are cooking the taste fabulous. I'm puerto rican but the Dominican food is a little different than the puerto rican food but it brings home memories of PR and DR when I used to go visit on vacation now I'm an old lady I don't travel much but going to this restaurant brings back great memories if you have the time pass by you won't waste your time or your money it's a great place God-bless all“

“Local gem!!!! I have been coming here for years. I recommend my favorite, which is a chicken sandwich with the rotisserie chicken on hero bread with the lettuce, tomatoes, onions, jalapeño, mayonnaise and avocado. Your belly will thank you for the fulfilling-ness of this meal. I also get a smoothie with papaya, apple, pineapple, orange and cayenne pepper.
Staff is friendly and this a family oriented type spot. A total recommendation.

“The food itself has that real, homemade flavor you're hoping for, so I was excited. But honestly, the whole experience just kind of fell flat. The order took forever to arrive, and by the time it got here, everything was just lukewarm. The pernil, which should be the star, was unfortunately pretty dry. It's a shame because you can taste the potential, but between the long wait and the food just not being fresh, it was a letdown. It's okay, but it could be so much better with a bit more care.“

“The best Dominican food in the area, very nice staff and great prices. My favorite is chicharron and pernil. I love this place. God bless them.“

“Honestly this a hidden Gem. It's a really small shop with great Hispanic food. Unfortunately, there's no space for a group of people to sit and eat in. But if you happen to be alone you may be able to grab a seat. They have a lot of different options which is amazing. Its inexpensive and they serve a really good portion of food. The staff is very nice and attentive. They are pretty fast but it does get packed during lunch time starting at 12 pm usually. So you may have to wait a little longer than usual. Definitely try to catch the mangu in the morning for breakfast.“

“I frequent this unique restaurant from time to time since I like the good air that is unique to this restaurant. The crew is awfuly helpful and well trained. The service is remarkablywonderfully efficient. Most important, the food they serve is perfect. I ate there more than once and I was always satisfied. The cost is fair. I highly recommend this place to to everybody.“

“Great food. Inexpensive. Good service.“

“Great food , y variada taco bowl mi favorito“

“This is a no frills, no smiles, no music situation but the food is amazing. The lady at the counter could look a little less upset, maybe they should play some music for atmosphere, because it’s like eating in a closet with windows. That said, the food is all that really matters. The rice is fluffy, the beans are perfect, and the stewed beef was the perfect addition. The lemonade is delicious and I’m pretty sure they make their own tres leches cake, it’s good but a tad on the sweet side. All in all, definitely worth a 2nd trip.“

“Si buen lugar acojedor y familiar“

“I love coming here! It's super eccentric and there are several unique paintings of the city (made by local artists and are for sale)! The food comes quick, and even when it's super busy there is never a long wait for a table. I have had a few different breakfast and lunch items here, and they never disappoint.“
