Everyone there was very friendly and helpful.
Will come back again.“

“We were a group of 10 folks staying at the DoubleTree Newark Airport and found El Aguila Dorada via TripAdvisor when looking for a restaurant close to the hotel. The drinks were excellent - specialty cocktail menu and full bar - food was delicious, enormous portions, and lots of vegetarian options in a large menu. Highly recommended for a large group and informal corporate dinners.“

“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.“

“love it !!! food was great and the service too“

“Gorgeous ambiance! They have lovely decor and you can tell that they had a great interior designer. Service was great. Our waitress Manuela was really nice and very knowledgeable about the menu and was kind enough to provide several suggestions. All staff were very professional and helpful. Drinks were very tasty, especially the “electríco!”. I loved the presentation. The chicharron tapas were the best chicharron I ever had—perfectly crispy, juicy and tender without being dry or too fatty. The garlic shrimp saffron tapa with the tostones were amazing—I’d come back just for that. As for the mains—the chicken was good, a little overpriced in my opinion, as it was regular chicken with no special marinade and was a little dry. I asked for my steak to be medium well but it was definitely under, and was red, chewy and a little tough with no seasoning. The saving grace was the delicious chimichurri sauce it came with and the yummy shisito peppers. Overall, I still recommend and plan to come back. Next time I plan on trying more tapas and possibly the whole fried fish entree! Check this place out.“

“The food was very flavorful and delicious!“

“This place makes such good food! I went all the way from Jersey City to get a plate of Frituras... which consisted of Pork Chops, Fried Chicken, Salami, and fried Plantains and it did not disappoint! The place was clean and the workers were nice. I definitely do recommend this place to anyone looking for great 🇩🇴 food. They offer lots of different types of Dominican dishes!“

“Delicious food. Friendly service. Cozy atmosphere.“

“We went there for the first time yesterday. Pros: The food was amazing. Loved every bite. I think the Colombian soup was my favorite but honestly everything was delicious. I am a picky eater and I ate everything. The drinks were simply divine. Hats off to the bartender. Just Wow! The server (Borjas) was equally exceptional. He only had 4 days on the job but executed like a pro. He was also funny and just kind. Just one con: The suited host that took a bit to greet us at the door was off. He also sat us at the very front of the restaurant. Mind you it was practically empty and never really filled up. I think that this was due to the holiday weekend. Anyway, he did not give us an option like another host did for a later couple. I also noted in my reservation that this was my fiancé's birthday and requested if anything special could be done. There was no choice of table and no candle in the cake. Usually how many other restaurants would have handled. Anyways, I will definitely go back due to the food, drinks and server but will hope for a better host.“

“Highly recommend Molkajete Restaurant and Bar. Nicely decorated, this Latin American cuisine restaurant has a very inviting, family friendly atmosphere. The food is delicious, and the service is exceptional. I've dined here two times and am very happy with my choice on both occasions. They offer catering as well.“

The portions were stunning, the food was full of flavor, the menu is large, and the dessert empanadas are just as amazing as the savory ones! Definitely some comfort food right here ❤️ Amazing delivery as well“

“I didn’t stay to eat in the establishment due to a waiting hungry teen at home lol however the food is EXCELLENT. Full plates, thoroughly cooked and juicy chicken, rice is ON point and I love me some black beans and sauce. Good home cooking and the price point was super affordable and top tier packaging. It was to go and not one drop was spilled on the ride home. Can’t beat it with two fresh cans of soda. Atmosphere was cool laidback and clean. Neat presentation and no flies. I’m so grateful because the food kept me full and I caught the itis lol 😆… all in all great food and I was not paid to give this review. I hope to enjoy their food again soon whenever I’m in the area. Thank you Yayos♥️“

“The whole red snapper and coconut“

“Crazy good empanadas - my partner and I shared the empanada flight as a takeout order, and I'll be thinking about these for a while. Nice variety of fillings, crusts, and sauces - definitely recommend ordering the flight to get acquainted with everything Titi's has to offer. In particular the puff pastry crusts were so flaky and buttery, but the corn and platano shells are great too. So glad to have this place in the neighborhood and can't wait to return.“

“Came in for lunch and our server Paola was the sweetest. She made me the most delicious Coconut Mojito. Food was delicious, fresh and perfectly seasoned.
I highly recommend if you want Colombian Food or soup this place will suffice.

Vegetarian options: As per your request

Parking: There’s parking in the back of the location

Kid-friendliness: Yes very family oriented“

“Buen ambiente y lo atienden bien“

“A tiny place, but what it lacks in size, it certainly makes up in cuisine.

It was my first time ordering from here, and I will definitely be back. I ordered the pollo guisado, arroz con pollo, and tostones. Very flavorful and delicious.
The portions were enough for leftovers.“

“La comida 🥘 es muy deliciosa“

“excellent service very good place to share“

“Desde Puerto Rico PAL mundo …el mejor bistec encebollado y mejor pollo desde NY a China“

“The food was very flavorful. I would definitely recommend my friends to eat there and I will come back.“

“Best food in the neighborhood. Been coming here for 4 years and have yet to be disappointed. You literally cannot go wrong, but my favorites are the oxtail, the pernil, and the stewed chicken. Don’t forgot to add either yellow rice or rice with black beans and some extra pinto beans to top it off.“

“Really hyped, and with a lot of reviews, the expectations were high.

What was good?
When for starters the chicken was indeed quite good. But in the context of other Peruvian chicken I’ve had in the past, it was not extraordinary. Yes the skin was crispy and the meat was juicy. The arroz chaufa hit all the savory notes that I was looking for too. The sangria didn’t disappoint either.

What was bad?
Overall, not too much other than the sporadic and slightly chaotic service. Not necessarily any marks against Pio Pio for this, I think it was just a busy night.

The main issue I had was the frozen chicken used in the arroz chaufa. In a restaurant that is known for its chicken, you wouldn’t think they would cheap out on it at any point. But, this was simply not the case. It was dry, chewy, and clearly not as fresh as their rotisserie chicken.

It didn’t scare me off entirely from going back, but I was disappointed to say the least. Most people have extremely low bars for chicken as a meat they would spend money on at a restaurant. Don’t give people a reason to complain I just don’t get it. Looking back on it, I would have said something or sent the dish back, not because I’m an asshole, but because I know they can do better.“
