Dominican Restaurants near Bergenfield, NJ

“This is the best Dominican food I’ve ever had in my life. The staff was so friendly and made it feel like I was waking into a family home. The food was absolutely banging and I will do whatever it takes to take another bite of that crispy, juicy chicharrón. They give you so much food and it’s affordable. I’m on my knees begging to whoever reads this to go and try this place.“

“We had chiccharones and goat stew. My Dominican friend said it was the best chicchones she ever ate. Another friend said the goat stew was excellent. I really recommend this place for flavorful food. The owner is so nice and made sure everything was good for us.“

“Happy with the Hackensack branch, before I had to drive 20 minutes now I have it close to home. The food is delicious and what I love most are their juices and smoothies..!! If you are on a diet, it has green juices and healthy smoothies. If not, I recommend my favorite, which is sapote or Mamey..!! The girls are nice, good service, super clean. Recommended 100%Dietary restrictions: Well I see that it has green juices, although I don't like them...!! But those who want healthy smoothies this is the place.Parking: Well, it has about 14 parking spaces, I don't think I counted them correctly, but the good thing is that I always find parking.Kid-friendliness: The portions are perfect for the little ones in the house, the empanadas and the yucca buns I know they love them.“

“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.“

“My wife and I are happy to have a Spanish vegan spot to order from in the Heights again! We ordered two Chimi's, a plantain power sandwich, Mac n Cheese, and Mac n Cheese empanadas with "beef". For the whole experience, we give it a 9.5 out of 10. The only gripe we really had was the Mac n Cheese empanada--she wasn't overly fond of it, I thought it was ok. We will be ordering/dining in again!“

“First off the staff are amazing - warm and friendly. Like you just walked into someone’s home. They patiently guided us through the menu, and brought out frozen glasses with our perfectly chilled beer. Ordered the chicken and pork stews with a side of plantains, everything was delicious. Almost made 5 stars - could have been slightly less salty and it would’ve!“

“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“

“Delicious and fabulous service! The service workers recommended the passion fruit tres leches and it was fabulous; the passion fruit layer added some tartness to the otherwise sweet cake.Out of abundant generosity they also gifted me a piece of their traditional tres leches cake. It was also delicious but definitely more sweet, without the fruit layer. Recommended with coffee!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Leche y Miel Restaurant is a hidden gem in Riverdale! Their eggplant is expertly seasoned and one of the best I've had. Every time I've ordered, the food arrives piping hot, which is impressive. The staff is incredibly attentive, and the cozy atmosphere is always clean and inviting. If you're in the area, don't miss out on this culinary experience!“

“Very cute restaurant. Nice ambiance. The food was excellent. Everyone in our group enjoyed their dishes ranging from pork chops to steak to shrimp. The waitress was very attentive and prompt. Only negative was the person at the entrance who told us they opened at 12 (posted time was 11:30) Definitely recommend“

“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.“

“Food was hot and delicious. In an ideal world I would have liked a bit more separation between all the people coming in to pick up food vs dining in. I dined in with my family and had a great time, food was fresh.I liked the paintings on the wall. I would go back again.Parking: Parking meters on block in front of location.“

“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!!“

“I dropped by this little gem after hearing about it and I’m so glad I did. I was able to get a half tray of chicharron de pollo for $65 and it was so delicious and they filled the tray to the brim. Perfect spot for Dominican take out or catering. Very easy to miss so drive slow, and they have parking!“

“el sitio de moda que llegó para quedarse un restaurantes de comida exquisita con la mejor calidad y precio donde la atención es su sello de presentación toda lo que se cocina aquí no tiene desperdicio y los tragos y cócteles son riquísimos y deliciosos no dejes que te cuenten ven a visitarlo y cuando llegues lo primero que dirás es que te mando yo el chino“

“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 chicken with spicy guava was tasty a little to sweet ? I was looking for garlic on my testones. The kids enjoyed the chicken fingers though. And the cocktaiks were delish. I'll visit againOh, i had the shrimp in red sauce yummy, the beans n rice were good. The service was okay a little scattered and a little long on some things but okay“

“I recently visited this Spanish chicken restaurant and overall had a positive experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, creating a pleasant environment for a meal. The staff was attentive and friendly, contributing to the overall enjoyable dining experience.Now, let's delve into the highlight—the Spanish chicken. While the dishes were tasty, I couldn't help but feel that they fell slightly short of my expectations. The chicken was well-cooked, but there was a subtle element missing that would have elevated it to perfection. Perhaps a bit more seasoning or a unique twist could have added that extra flair.Despite this minor critique, the menu offered a diverse selection of Spanish-inspired dishes. The appetizers, such as patatas bravas and chorizo croquettes, showcased the chef's creativity and commitment to traditional flavors. The presentation was noteworthy, with each dish appearing as a carefully crafted masterpiece.The drink menu was well-curated, featuring a selection of Spanish wines and cocktails. The sangria, in particular, was a delightful complement to the meal, adding to the overall enjoyment of the dining experience.The dessert, churros with chocolate dipping sauce, was a sweet ending to the meal. The churros were well-prepared, offering a satisfying conclusion to the culinary journey.In conclusion, while the overall experience was positive, I've rated this restaurant four stars as I believe there is room for improvement in the flavor profile of the Spanish chicken. I still recommend this establishment for its ambiance, attentive service, and creative menu, with the hope that the culinary aspects can reach“

“So I decided to visit this restaurant because it has good reviews and the menu looked good. When I first arrived here, I was a little doubtful of my decision to come, as this restaurant is quite simple and easy to miss. I decided to go in after seeing several other people come in. I ordered chicken chicharrones with tostones and was told it would be a short wait for them to be made fresh. It wasn't a long wait and I saw the very generous portions of food I was getting. I also ordered a large chicken soup. The price was very fair and everyone who worked in the restaurant was very friendly. Being able to speak Spanish is an advantage but not completely necessary. Let me tell you something, the delicious fragrance emanating from the food was almost impossible to resist on the way home, and it made my car smell better than any air freshener. The soup was ridiculously delicious, filled with chicken and vegetables and just amazing. Even my cats couldn't resist the aroma and taste of chicken. The chicharrones were a little overcooked but still incredibly delicious. I'm so glad I found this place and I could really go here every day. I recommend anyone to stop by here and enjoy their delicious food.Parking: It's a little difficult to find parking right in front of this place, but there is ample free parking on the side streets.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!!!!?“

“Used this restaurant for my Dads party. Placing the order was smooth, they accepted payment over the phone and they were willing to work with me on pick up time. Food was ready when I arrived and our guests could not stop raving about how good it was!Thank you !“

“I had the chicharron de pollo with white rice and red beans and they were really tasty! ?? Next time I need to ask for lime for the chicharron de pollo and more of those little dressing things that come with the combo. Idk what it was but the creamier one tastes really good with the tostones and the thinner dressing elevated the flavor of the red beans!“

“Listen here and listen clear: HANDS DOWN THEE BEST FRITURA ANYWHERE ON THIS SIDE OF THE PLANET!!! I REFUSE to eat orejitas from ANYWHERE else!!! Them thangz feel as soft as baby butt!!! Feel like they boil them things for a week in a giant pot before frying them!!! ???? Buy without hesitation! Everything here is wonderful! ?“

“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. !!!! And they have coffee I highly recommend“

“Chicharron is 1000% hands down delicious. This is for my peeps who love the best of anything and are willing to overlook...let's say the "big picture". I will be honest, my first impression of the location was underwhelming but it is not about the location when it comes to this Dominican cuisine. Service is very good and courteous. Not the place you would want to sit and eat there but definitely grab your takeout and rejoice! Elsa is the queen of chicharron for a reason. Get your fix this is not for the bougie.“

“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.“

“La Casa de Frida emerges as a stellar happy hour destination, perfect for those seeking a swift libation. Boasting two distinct happy hour specials--running from 12 to 5 and another from 5 to 7--the spot delivers not only variety but also affordability.While the drink specials shine, the culinary offerings fall short of the happy hour pricing ethos, presenting full-priced wings, quesadillas, and tacos. Despite this culinary mismatch, the prospect of returning solely for the libations remains alluring. La Casa de Frida excels in crafting drinks that tantalize the taste buds, promising a delightful journey to tipsiness by the third round.Noteworthy is the commendable service; during our visit, my companion and I decided to explore a special $30 shot of Patron Alto, intrigued by its novelty. To our surprise, the establishment went above and beyond by generously gifting us another expensive shot on the house, acknowledging our curiosity and enhancing our overall experience. This gesture adds an extra layer of satisfaction to the visit, creating a positive memory that encourages a return for both the drinks and the exceptional service.“

“Staff are friendly and they works hard but service is slow more often. It seems they need to train their staff better for more efficiency. Good food, good clean place. I have been working in The food business for 24 years, I am not just saying things out of my head.“

“The food is ok. The only plate that has really stood out to me when it comes to taste is their “pollo al cadero”. I’ve been here on numerous occasions. Trying a different plate each time. The price for the order I would say is a bit on the high end when compared to prices and quantity of other near by establishments. Their pork meat is usually on the undercooked side, the boneless chicken breast is very bland. With that being said owner and employees are awesome great attention to service, and always seem eager to please. If you do visit try the “pollo al caldero” you will not be disappointed.“

“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!!!“

“Best food in the 161 court area of the Bronx. Hands down. I also used them to cater my holiday party and the food was Top notch !!! Also the everyday food menu is extensive so there's something for everyone and the sandwich guy is official !!“

“It's often a challenge to find vegan options. Mamacita's didn't let me down. The veggie fajitas were easily customized and de-LICIOUS...! The strawberry margarita was fire too...! Thank you Daniella, Cameron, and PK for the hospitality...!!!“

“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“

“The best quality food , best energy and best service in the world. Very affordable compared to what they could charge and they treat everyone kindly. Feels like home and is my go-to spot when I don't cook. Everyone is working hard so have patience when you stop in its busy for a reason! Wishing Polanco triple the success and prosperity in 2024! Well deserved.“

“This is a typical Dominican restaurant in the Bronx, however, there food is slightly superior to those in the neighborhood. The chicken and beans taste better then most sorounding spots and they have great specials. The prices have hiked a bit, but with inflation it is expected. This restaurant has been around for a while and I hope it keeps thriving for many more years to come.#dominican #food #love #chicken #beans #lunch #breakfast #los3golpesVegetarian options: They have rice, beans, vegetables, plantains, and other options.Kid-friendliness: Everyone is welcome including kidsWheelchair accessibility: This is on the first floor and although the door does not open automatically, a person can come in with no issues.“

“I went to Unchingrabandgo, and let me tell you, the lady who attended me, Flory, was so humble and charismatic! She really made my visit special. The food came out on time and was absolutely delicious. It's always a bonus when the service is excellent, right? Flory's kindness definitely added some extra flavor to the whole experience!“

“Small hole in the wall shop serving up bomb food. Ordered the chicken quesadilla for pick-up was still hot, crunchy and delicious. Cheese to chicken ratio was fantastic. Sauce is delicious! Guy at the front was kind. No complaints. And to get a meal for $11 nowadays?! Unreal! Thank you!“

“I love their seafood paella, and the fried yuca. The paella was so delicious. The seafoods were fresh and the seasoning was great. It’s probably not the traditional paella, but I didn’t mind. The fried yuca sticks were soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. It was my first time trying the fries and I fell in love with it. It makes my mouth water writing this review!Vegetarian options: Fried plantains, fried yuca, and salads.“

“Good service, good prices, personalized attention. Clean tidy place. If they don't have what you are looking for ready, they prepare it for you on the spot. I ordered pork chops with rice and beans, delicious. Reasonable prices. Crispy and tasty tostones. I recommend it.“

“I have been going to this small place for years. If you want to feel like you are eating at your abuelas house, this is it! The owners make you feel like you are at home. The cheapest prices in the neighborhood. They catered my last event & I could not believe the prices. To add on the owner added a nice surprise to my order - Just so thoughtful! I just love coming here... from the smell of home made food when you walk in, to the culture.“
