“I’m so happy I found a real Puerto Rican restaurant near me! My first time experience was great. The food definitely tastes authentic and very close to how my family cooks. We ordered their carne guisada dish, empanadas (“pastelillos”), shrimp mofongo, and last but not least it least, flan! Que Rico! Totally coming back and bringing my family when they come visit.“

“Amazing service and food, absolutely delicious!!“

“Great food and nice ambiance“

“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.“

“The pupusas are the best in Elizabeth and the rest of the food is delicious.“

“seriously the best cuban restaurant in jersey. omg 😲 👌😍😋😋😋“

“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 love the place; I have been there a few times ; service and food are excellent garlic shrimps over asparagus delicious!!!!“

“Amazing food great service! Always so sweet and clean fresh food ! Staff are wonderful“

“Really good place really good food really nice place. 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.“

“Great food. Great service“

“Upon answering I was greeted and seated. The appetizers which were the nacho chips tasted freshly made and the chicken and steak tacos were delicious. I also had the Elote corn which was so good comes with three.. and I love the piña colada but I had it without alcohol.. they do have an open bar. Def would go back.“

“Muy bueno y super recomendado ok“

“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“

“la mejor comida dominicana de area“

“Today I tried this location for the first time and all I can say is perfection the food was delicious will be ordering dinner later on thank you so much“

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

“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.“

“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 ❤️🥰❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The food is exceptional. I had the guandules guisado with white rice and fried pork chops with the fried sweet plantain and an order of their potato salad. I felt like I was back at my grandmas house back in the 🇩🇴 the food an: service is top notch.“

“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!“

“la comida deliciosa y una buena atención. recomendado....“

“Good food, great staff !!
Can’t judge a restaurant on one dish
It was my first time trying this place, and I just have the pollo a la brasa rotisserie chicken. To me the star of the meal was the hot green sauce, that accompanied the chicken, but the chicken was also savory.
Now, I tried the chicha morada, purple corn drink, and it was so sweet that I couldn’t figured out if it was from real corn or what was made of. Prices are good, portions too, the place is comfortable and is located in a small plaza with parking lot.“

“The food was delicious 😋 and they give you a lot I definitely recommend ❤️“

“Gente muy amable recomiendo“

“When I used to work in the Union area, one of our favorite stops for a hot meal was Burnet BBQ. Today I had work in Union again, remembered Burnet BBQ, but it turns out that store II was closer to my location. Turns out that the food is as great as the original, and lots of take out orders and constant rotation of customers showed lots of people agreed. Got the 1/2 ribs, which would fill up a truck driver, and the counter staff were very nice. Go there when you re really hungry, and see if you can finish all that food. 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!“
