Spanish Restaurants near Carteret, NJ

“We went to the Chateau 7/13 for our Granddaughter's birthday. I had mentioned it was her birthday. We had a delicious dinner with sangria. After dinner one of the waiters along with a waitress came over with a Birthday dessert w/candle and even sang Happy Birthday. After we finished the waiter Paulo came back with a glass of Port Wine to finish off the meal. He was very personable.“

“One of the best places I ever will spend my last dollar on.“

“It has become one of my favorite places to go to taste a delicious seafood soup, there is a variety of Hispanic food and the cheese they sell is delicious. The atmosphere is very calm, the music is not as loud as in other places, the cleanliness is quite acceptable.“

“Anyone that says this place isn’t amazing is nuts trust in me go eat be happy and go again I’ve been slowing working through the menu pernil - fire - beef stew - fire - oven chicken - you guessed it fire- rice and beans stay slapping I love when they add the pumpkin if you know you know. Chimi slaps hard and I’m a big fan of the fried sweet plantain they stay sweet and delish. I saw a review about service and have been here now 7 times? I’ve waited twice when busy nothing crazy because food is worth the wait. Anyone steering you away is salty country on your own !“

The owner was so kind and personable as well! Bring family and friends because it’s not possible to have a bad night here!“

“We had the pleasure of dining for the first time at Due 360 in Summit. From the moment we walked in, Luis the manager and Brianna welcomed us and seated us promptly. Luis was very attentive and made sure we were happy with our order. Our server Sofia was extraordinary! she was warm and friendly with genuine smile. She offered excellent recommendations and we had conversation as if we're know each other for years. We started with a complimentary bruschetta, it was tasty and nicely flavored. I ordered the Tapas- Polpo Ala Plancha, Steak Yuca Frities and Crabmeat/shrimp tacos. Everything was fresh and bursting with flavor. The portion was perfect and the presentation was impeccable. Due 360 was quite a gem of an Argentine-Italian restaurant (interesting combo but it worked!). This place is going to be my "go to" dining spot. I highly recommend it and the experience is worth it.“

“Everything we tried was delicious. Well seasoned and cooked just right. The only issue is that there isn't a menu to look at the items and we ordered a mofongo and it was served with cheese. One of the members in our group cannot have dairy. That would be an important piece of information to share when the order is placed.“

I didn’t end up getting the food that day that I ordered from there cause the restaurant was so packed and even though the people that worked, there were really nice the guest that they had there wasn’t too welcoming to black folks, but not the restaurants faultreally great service was willing to meet me outside and I could tell by the way the food looking smell it was it would’ve been so good“

“I was new. They were looking at me because I'm a new face. They didn't explain how it works. I ended up getting so much. But they weren't bad. The dining place is spacious, but lighting is not bright enough for a restaurant.“

“Tequila Bistro Hosted One Incredible Night for Team Ed Rodriguez We recently held a meet-and-greet for Assembly candidate Ed Rodriguez at Tequila Bistro in Elizabeth—and let’s just say, Ed raved about the food beforehand, and he wasn’t wrong. From the moment we stepped into the warm, inviting space—with its glowing string lights, rich Spanish tiles, and that cozy outdoor patio—it was clear this was more than just a restaurant. It was an experience. The crowd came for conversation, but the Mediterranean and Spanish flavors stole the show. From the perfectly grilled seafood to the paella that had people going back for seconds (and thirds), every bite was unforgettable. The crab-stuffed salmon? Game-changer. And then there’s the bar—a destination in itself. Sophisticated, generous, and buzzing with good energy. The sangria flowed, the handcrafted cocktails were on point, and the vibes matched the moment. The staff made us feel like family. They handled a busy room full of guests with warmth, precision, and genuine hospitality.“

“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“

“I order for delivery and the food was awesome. Love their cheese empanadas. Their boneless fried chicken chunks are so tasty � with tostones. Yummy �“

“One of the best, authentic Mexican restaurants in the area. Also has the best prices. The ingredients taste fresh and they cook everything to order. Plus they aren’t stingy with the meat/ cheese/ lettuce etc. The gentleman that made my food today (not sure if owner) was really friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!“

“My wife and I ate at Ford's in late December 2024. Boy are we glad we did! After seeing the reviews here and elsewhere, it was very clear we had to come here while we were in the area, and now we know why! We had never experienced Portuguese BBQ before, and holy moley, was it delicious!\n\nI had a lunch-sized chicken and pork ribs combo, and my wife had the lunch-sized chicken and beef ribs combo. All of the meat was absolutely sensational, well cooked, seasoned well, and just melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The BBQ sauce that came with it was also tasty, but honestly we felt like we didn't even need it because the meat was so tender and juicy.\n\nThe fries and yellow rice were also very tasty.\n\nAnd even when you get the lunch-sized portions, you get TONS of food, like we both got more than enough for both lunch and dinner.\n\nThe gentleman behind the counter was very friendly and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the meal.\n\nI'm not sure when or if we'll be back in the Fords/Woodbridge area, but if we are, we will definitely put this on our "must do" list every time.“

“Very good atmosphere. The food is phenomenal and the beer is ice cold . Highly recommend this place for anyone who is trying to have a good time. The hostess was very welcoming and willing to help. The music choice is very good brings good energy to the establishment.“

“I am so grateful for this place. I’ve been so sick and wanting homemade chicken soup. Normally I make it myself but am too weak with no inspiration . My son went out and got me a quart about an hour ago and I feel so much better even after a little bowl. Thank you angels ❤️🥰❤️“

“Loved the food, however, the service was not great. Long wait time. This was because they had ppl there who were just hanging out and were constantly talking to the staff! The place is very small and tight. Tables should be reserved for paying customers.“

“My sister ordered a full tray of arroz con gandules, maduros, and pollo guisado for my nephew's birthday. Everything was excellent. I will definitely come here in person in the future. Everything was amazing.“

“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.“

“I placed an order on GrubHub A day after Thanksgiving. For Dominican restaurants a lot of restaurants usually dedicate certain days for certain dishes, such as stew or soup because of the process it takes however, today I was really sick and the owner of the restaurant was kind enough to make a soup from scratch for me. When I placed the order on GrubHub, I placed an order for soup however, in the caption, it did say that there was no soup for today since today is a Friday. But my vision was so blurry that I didn’t even notice it. However, the owner called back and informed me and she immediately heard how sick I literally sounded and she told me don’t worry about it that she was going to make it from scratch. It’s just gonna take some time. Honestly, their food is really good. My sister orders from them a lot so that’s why I decided to order from them and they’re truly sweet.“

“Best coffee in Bayonne! I'm a big fan of Cafe 26. The service is always excellent, the ladies at the register are always very kind and again the coffee, I thoroughly enjoy. This comes from a coffee enthusiast. Try anything, I'm sure it'll be great! I've tried multiple drinks, none disappoint. My fave (right now lol) cafe con leche, delicious!“

“I always order food at work. This time I went downtown and ordered takeout. They treated me very well and with great affection. I loved the service of the two women who were there. You can tell from afar when a person has a good heart. I am going to recommend this place to everyone I know. Very kind. GOOD FOOD.“

“Great restaurant with great service! They have very unique menu options, which all sounded delicious. Out of the things we ordered, the Bananas on the Beach was my favorite. It had a very interesting flavor, but was really good! We had also ordered some sort of crepe dish, which was also fantastic, though I forget what it was called. They have great outdoor seating with heaters when we went, which made the experience very enjoyable. Will definitely be back soon!“
