“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional service from Yanerys!

I had the pleasure of having lunch at Mary’s Restaurant, and the best part of my experience was the incredible service provided by Yanerys. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile and made to feel truly welcome. Their attention to detail, kindness, and professionalism were beyond impressive.

Yanerys was very attentive! Yanerys is a true treasure for this restaurant.

If you are eating at Mary’s, I recommend ordering Yanerys—you won’t be disappointed! We will definitely return, thanks to your exceptional service.“

“Only 4 tables and 12 seats but maaaan this food is the bomb. I grew up eating stews and rice for lunch in far away lands and this hits the spot. I think I inhaled my giant plate in 2 min. We'll seasoned, everything tasted good (carne, rice, red beans, maduros). Will come back when Im in the area again. Thank you to polite staff too for supporting my Spanish :)“

“Really nice place to eat everyday, the 10$ meal is just really generous, if you eat a lot this is the place for you. I'm only speaking of 10$ meal. There are more things on the menu. Add a nice costumer service and this place is just great, I just had lunch in Newark, for ... like the same amount of food or less and it cost me 33$, I wish I was near Rancho Deli...“

“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!“

“This place is by far the best, most traditional tasting authentic food I've ever had from any dominican restaurant! its a hidden Gem in downtown Paterson every bite literally transports you to the campo amazing flavor! The staff and Owner are really friendly will definitely come again muchisimas gracias.“

“Yummy yummy.Great for when you forget to take the meal your wife cook for you to work.They have pineapples watermelons and other fruits on the go perfect for when you're just done with the gym.They also do catering which is on point plenty to choose from and they'll make whatever you want.I definitely recommend this place it's great for people like me that don't have time to make a meal so instead of eating boring McDonald's and all that other garbage around that area stop by check them out and if you like home cook meals then this is the spot. You're in and out within 10 minutes tops. You tried the rest now try the best. Always love to support small businesses especially that put time and energy into their meals and don't do small portions like most places you will get a lot of meat for your buck. I'd like to let you people know that I honestly enjoyed the food you guys cooked and always recommend them to my friends I am usually in Lodi so I take a drive down to Hackensack just so I can get the delicious meals that they prepare. I know I may be boring but my favorite one is chicken franchise "chicken with lemon" ?It is on point and I feel like I could eat that 100 times a day LOL. All right enough of me rambling just wanted to let you guys know that this is Justin certified“

“Great yummy flavorful food! Just would advise them to have the server serve the food a with some sort of presentation. A tiny effort goes along the way. Literally slapped the meat on my plate.. it doesn’t look pleasant. But it was yummy! Wish she would’ve served the right amount of steak this wasn’t expected“

“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. 👍🏼😋👏🏼“

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“

“I have been going to Minis restaurant for over 15 years and not once had I had a bad experience there. The food is incredible the service is on point and even when they are packed(which is very often) the ladies always keep up with me and thank me for my patience. The price for the quality of food is the best I have ever seen. I have ordered food at minis well over One Thousand times and the food always hits home. Even though I have moved farther away I still make the 35 minute drive to minis multiple times a week just because no other restaurants has the quality of food that they have. If I could give them 1000 stars I would. I love their food. I love the staff they are so friendly and loving. I highly recommend you go pay them a visit and trust me you won’t regret it!!“

“NO JOKE! The best empanada I've ever had!!!Its golden, flaky pastry shell was perfectly crisp. The filling itself was chock’full of seasoned meats, onions, and a hint of spice. Every bite was a burst of savory goodness, making it a memorable and must-try treat for anyone seeking an exceptional empanada.

Vegetarian options: Cheese all day! Plenty of options for vegetarians.

Kid-friendliness: Some of the nicest people in the world run this store. They are friendly and what kid DOESN’T like empanadas????!!!!!“

“Normally whenever I come to this city I buy Dominican food, being Salvadoran :) 😀 because I like it a lot. I always go to different places or wherever the GPS takes me lol. But today I proved the best Dominican food wow 👌 excellent flavor so good that me and my brother took an extra dish for dinner..“
