Spanish Restaurants near Clifton, NJ

“my favorite is the prosecutor ! but everything is great ! very cool guys there !“

“Mauricio, From the moment we sat down, he was all smiles—happy, upbeat, and full of energy that made our whole table feel welcome. He wasn’t just friendly; he was genuinely fun, cracking jokes, keeping the mood light, and making sure everyone (especially the kids!) felt special.

He knew the menu inside and out and gave amazing recommendations—especially for the appetizers. You could tell he really cared about making sure we enjoyed the best of what the place had to offer.

It’s rare to find someone who’s not just doing their job but clearly loves it. Our meal was great, but the service truly made it memorable. If you get the chance, ask for him—you’ll be glad you did!“

“The place is nice, it's a shame it's not a restaurant ?, but OK we came to leave a great comment because it deserves it, it's a nice and clean place, you have many souvenirs from Colombia at a good price in addition to all the things they sell pre-cooked (arepas, empanadas, pandebonos, salads, arroz de leche, chili, hogao) all of that is great ?the chorizo ​​is crazy, made by its owner, it is a HIT, they sell it to eat at the moment and pre-cooked and the better the better and a 10 more to the good comments is the LECHONA really is spectacular, the flavor, fatty, all the ingredients are just right and the skin is super crunchy, they informed us that they prepare it on Saturdays at noon, so you know...and They also make it for special dates in trays of 10 and 20 servings.
We are happy to have visited them and enjoyed the food and the excellent service of their employees.
Listen to how crunchy the pig's skin is and the quantity and prices are super reasonable, congratulations guys, you do it very well.“

“An OUTSTANDING dinning restaurant with GREAT food and service!😉👍🏾👊🏾😍🥰😻“

“Literally a hidden family-owned gem. Was killing time around Newark Airport before a long international flight and went in with zero expectations, met wonderful people, the food was delicious, authentic made of great quality ingredients, will definitely be back.“

“Muy rica la comida! Cómo en nuestro país Ecuador 🇪🇨“

“De verdad es la mejor comida con mucha calidad y su personal trata a todos como familia las muchachas son tan servíciales que me siento como si estuviera en mi propia casa gracias a todos por sus amabilidades“

“We had a really good time. Very cozy, awesome service and the live Flamenco really made it a special night.“

“Let me start off by saying this hidden gem is the best Dominican food I have had since I moved to New Jersey almost 10 years ago, and I have tried a lot. Originally I found this on Google after reading some of the reviews, I decided to give it a try and let me say they did not disappoint. As soon as you walk in the aroma of good home-cooked food slaps you in the face and your mouth will begin to water as mines did. The food was very fresh and flavorful. I ordered the Pernil, yellow rice, red beans ,red onions and avocado. I also ordered the chicken empanadas. The staff was extremely accommodating friendly and went above and beyond. Let's just say I will definitely be coming back 10 out of 10. Highly recommend!!!“

“The food is amazing and the service is 5 stars!! Delicious food in a very cozy and quiet environment.“

“Food was amazing and service was on point !! Delicious 🤤“

“Excellent food and presented well…, a value here!“

“Great find for some authentic Ecuadorian cuisine!“

“The food was absolutely amazing! The service was bar none! Highly recommend 👌🏽👍🏽✅“

“This little gem is located across from A&A deli in Lincoln Park NJ. The staff amazing. The food amazing (we had a chipotle chicken, a Philly cheesesteak, and a pulled pork empanada; in addition yellow rice and black bean and a cherry empanada for desert). Would recommend this restaurant 100%. Open on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday it’s truly a treat for the tastebuds.“

“Ordered multiple tapas plates. Everything was delicious! And the sangria is the best!“

“Our table of 4 loved everything from start to finish. My chorizos were the best I’ve ever eaten (including Spain). Dinner companion Eileen orders the shrimp in green sauce every time and is in heaven. Husband Phil’s vegetarian paella and portobello mushroom appetizer were delicious as were the table’s side dishes of green beans and carrots (perfectly cooked) and potato chips (yum). Massive entrees of which we all took portions home to enjoy as leftovers. Expert service by real waiters who knew everything and met our every dining need.“

“Delicious food, the tostitos were amazing! Friendly service and beautiful decor. Feels like you're in Miami Beach.

Vegetarian options: Only about 3 vegie dishes, but I'm sure if you ask they can make accomodations“

“Wow. Just went to this place. It was delicious. Nice people and service. Clean. I had the Colombian eggs with Chicharron and rice. Sooooo good!!! I’ll be back.“

“A friend ordered a variety of wraps and some fried chicken for my family which was a wonderful surprise in itself. But to add to this the food was Amazing!!! Crispy non greasy moist chicken, tasty huge chicken wraps and the largest fresh shrimp wraps with fresh vegetables that I have ever seen. Give this local establishment a chance you won’t be disappointed.“

“I have been to many family parties held at this restaurant. The basement party room is a great space that allows for a DJ and larger venue of 100 people. To tight for anymore people. Food is consistently good for a large batch catering party menu. Steaks are cooked to temperature and overall great food quality. Main area of improvement is just some esthetic updates. The space has not changed in over 30yrs. It's time to refresh and modernize. Overall good place, parking is really tough so beware.“

“If you want to live the experience of a “corrientazo” restaurant in NJ, this is the place! Typical Colombian flavor. The roasts and soups are SPECTACULAR! Warm attention from Sandra and Marcela. Excellent prices
OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPROVEMENT: the space is very small and fills up quickly“

“Shout out to Ricky's for being the last restaurant in the neighborhood to keep it real on food quality, price, and portion size.

I'd been scoping out Ricky's for a few weeks, after I noticed it by accident while walking by.

Wonderful and delicious home kitchen Puerto Rican dishes. I have no idea why this place doesn't have a line out the door all day everyday...probably because of its humble unassuming appearance.

Right now with the price gouging at restaurants and inflation, it's Exhausting going out to eat when you look at the bill.

It felt so good to sit down and have a plate if delicious homecooked food with a bottle of soda for $9.75!

Picture below is PR stew chicken w/rice and beans. Definitely will be back soon!“

“I called this morning at 6am to inquire how long it would take them to make 3 dozen empanadas, for a work event, they said ten mi utes! They saved my day. The empanadas were a hit at work! They were delicious! I bought chicken, beef and cheese! They’re affordable too! Gracias! 🙏🏽 I’ll be buying from here again.“

“* Tasty and affordable menu* Great for quick bites to go* Fresh ingredients* Friendly staff* Can get busy during lunch hours* Not a lot of seating (maybe 4? at the window)* Parking may be difficult (for both free and metered)I really wanted the Cuban sandwich, but they had run out of roast pork and kept apologizing... ? I opted for the Philly cheesesteak and loved it! It wasn't overwhelmingly large or greasy. As for the chicken avocado wrap, they peeled the avocado right there! ? It felt healthy and quite filling.

Parking: We had to park on another street across from the deli.“

“"This Cuban food restaurant offers excellent value for money. The staff is friendly and attentive. However, a small limitation is that they do not accept card payments, which may be inconvenient for some customers. Overall, the experience is wonderful, but due to this limitation, I give it 4 stars."⭐️“

“I recently visited this charming local café and had a fantastic experience! Marta provided amazing service, making me feel right at home. The food was excellent, with a real sense of authenticity. I highly recommend trying the Chicharrones paired with their homemade Picante sauce an absolute must! Looking forward to my next visit!“

“The lady and her husband are extremely nice. I go here almost everyday. There's a board that shows the menu if you're new and she'll be sure to point you to the second board nearby (Grilled/fried food). There IS an ATM inside the store as they only accept cash. The food is extremely good too, thumbs up for them!“

“desayunos deliciosos los batidos son frescos“

“es el mejor restaurante y la comida es super rica y es muy económico todo 100 recomendando 😁“

“They have a friendly and quick staff, they know the menu very well and so far made two great suggestions that I really enjoyed. Beat Bolon we had so far in the planting to cheese and meat ratio. Hoping they Jazz it up in the future and add a cheese sauce like their competitors who don’t have that great ratio just mentioned.“

“Love the delicious food 🥘“

“Great service, excellent cuisine.“

“I order 5 Star quite often, the food is good. The restaurant is cute but, and clean. What I do want to say is that if you order bbq and request bbq sauce you may not get it. Plenty times it has happened, i comfirm its in the bag, then you check the to go bag and they hand it to you. Not nice.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level entrance, no steps.“

“Very nice place for lunch. Great variety, and the food tastes very good. Rather cheap also. You pay by weight.The only thing I don't like much is that they only have plastic disposable cutlery. But despite this, we go there often for lunch with colleagues.“

“Excited to eat at Mi Familia Restaurant. The food is Authentic and flavorful! I've been coming here for so many years. As you walk in your are greeted immediately, the staff are very attentive. I was there last week ordered white rice with beans oxtail and barbeque pork spare ribs. Food was delicious!!! Not to mention this is where I get my churrasco (skirt steak) with tostones and freshly squeeze orange juice. Stop by Mi Familia Restaurant and enjoy some Dominican Soul Food!!“

“Love this place , food, atmosphere staff location etc. What I don't like and so ny family and friends is the music is always too loud. I spoke about this before with no actions to resolve it.“

“todo pero me fascina el pargo frito con tostones y ensalada“

“large menus. delicious food recomiend the restaurant 100%“

“Great food and amazing coffee“

“The food is delicious and the service is great!“

“Food is good, I have been coming to this restaurant for years. I do however recommend that you ask for the price of drinks prior to ordering especially if it’s not during happy hour. Drinks are way too expensive. The pricese are not listed on the menu One glass of Sangria $19.50. I was caught of guard with that one , imagine my surprise when I received my bill seeing that sangria was $39 for two glasses. Had I known that I would have just drank water and bought my own sangria for less at the local liquor store or went to a different bar. Also; there are a few things on the menu with no prices listed. Just ask for the price before ordering . I feel that the prices for the food such as lamb chops and seafoods are fair, but the drinks. Nope; Sorry not sorry. $19.50 for one glass of sangria is out right ridiculous and unnecessary. Other than the overpriced drink; everything else is good.“

“This place is soooo much fun weather you're going for lunch with coworkers or partying on a Friday night! It's great for friends, couples, parties, events. The food is delicious without breaking the bank and the staff is beyond courteous and helpful. 5 star, absolutely recommend!“

“Excelente servicio y un buen ambiente, zona muy natural para una exquisita paella, gracias 😊👏💯“

“Lunch service was nice. However my brother ordered a Paella and there was hardly any rice in it. Given the fact the waiter insisted it would feed 3 I'm glad he ordered his solo cause it was barely enough for him. I ordered a chicken breast and chorizo lunch special. It was good. Aside from the spicy flavors it was great. The service was fantastic. It's no wonder they've been around for a long time. My brother recommended this place since he's been coming here a long time. I'm definitely opened to give it another try.“

“Great atmosphere, great service, great prices.“
