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

“This is one of my fav spots. Today I went for breakfast/lunch with one of my friend and we had an amazing experience like always. Beatriz was our waitress and she WAS SOOO AMAZING. If you want a great service ask for her. THANK YOU BEATRIZ <3“

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

“My family and I went to Fornos yesterday after my daughter’s graduation from MSU. We didn’t make a reservation, but lucked out getting a table because two minutes after we sat down the line was forming. All I have to say is the service was impeccable!!! The food was amazing!!! The ambiance absolute perfection!! I highly recommend!!“

“If you're looking for authentic Spanish food in Newark, Casa d'Paco is the spot to go. Food is served tapas style. The dishes are super flavorful, ambiance is great, service super welcoming. Prime time could be hard to get a table since seats are limited but totally worth going. Sangria was a little on the sweeter side but still very very good. Will be back.“

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

“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“

“desayunos deliciosos los batidos son frescos“

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

“stopped by for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. the food came out pretty quick and everything tasted fresh. tried one of the house specialties and it had a lot of flavor without being overly heavy. portions were decent and definitely filling for the price. the place itself is simple and casual, nothing fancy, but it felt clean and welcoming. staff were friendly and patient while explaining a few menu items. service wasn't perfect and there was a little wait for the food, but nothing that ruined the experience. overall a solid local spot and i'd definitely come back to try a few more things.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I love this place. I normally go there in the morning, so this review is pretty much based on the bagels or bagel sandwiches I get. But they are great. The bagels are made there. They're awesome. They make the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches even more delicious. Their coffee is good and the staff is friendly. I can only imagine their Latino food is just as good. Street parking is limited but that's the only thing that is even remotely negative and that's not their fault! I would say if you try them, you won't be disappointed.“

“Just tried the emenadas (pollo, beef, queso). They were excellent. Will be back for more food.“

“We have been going to El Cid for over 30 years and went back for the first time since they reopened. I’m happy to say that it was as great as it was in the past. The Prime Rib, sirloin and sangria were delicious and we can’t wait to go back!“

“Ordered 225 small empanadas from them. Everybody was raving about them. Very very good. Filled with meat and the cheese. One were filled with cheese and the chicken ones were filled with chicken. Can't go wrong with this place to order empanadas, the ground beef ones had a lot of flavor“

“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“

“Awesome fries and Cuban sandwich. Good selection of empanadas. Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“Enjoyed the many different Tapas we tried out 😋“

“I was happy with the service and the food. However , we were 5 adults and 3 children and the bill was $8oo. We did not consume a lot of liquor. The appetizers and entrees were delicious but the prices were way too high;. For the family to go out to enjoy a good meal is becomes impossible to do with those prices.“

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

“I had the garlic chicken.Really good, but that’s beside the point. Service is extremely bad. Especially the wait time. 1/10. Waiter has a weird attitude, for no reason. Not even a hi or hello, just checked in once the whole time. Wait time felt like hours. Honestly, food is delicious but the waiter was dry and it honestly offended me. Anyway, not recommended.“

“I absolutely love this place I work in the same building as the daughter of this restaurant and she is a bright and shining star of a person the mother and the cook of the restaurant is beautiful wonderful personality and makes great food I recommend this restaurant to anybody who's looking for a home feeling fresh food fulfilling and tasteful restaurant Gourmet Express is one of my favorite restaurants you guys are the best“

“We recently held a family reunion at El Mesón Español, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, taking the time to explain the menu and answer all of our questions. The food was outstanding—every dish was cooked to perfection. We especially enjoyed the paella, oxtail, veal, and ribs—each one full of rich, authentic. Highly recommended!“

“Excelente servicio al cliente las chicas de la entrada te reciben con mucho amor , es un ambiente familiar , de verdad espectacular“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is the best Spanish food in Newark . Small , quiet neighborhood place with outstanding food and professional service. the waiter turning is zero. The same waiters at the restaurant for many years. They got me to try the goat and it was excellent........even though I'm not a fan of goat.“

“Ordered a couple dishes from here on door dash for the first time and I am impressed! The food was absolutely delicious, not one complaint about any of it. I didn’t know what to expect because the prices are so low and you just don’t see that anymore, the chicken combo was only $9. The portions are generous and even though some of it is deep fried NONE of it is greasy. Will definitely stop by next time to try more dishes.“

“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!!“

“"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."⭐️“

“Well I have been going there for about 15 years now. it's my Friday night dinner and sangria spot. Food, drinks ambience and of course superb customer service A+. Best surf & turf in the business!!“

“Excellent Thanksgiving Dinner! Excellent Serice by Issac. Terrific Food. Highly Recommend“

“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!“

“🍻I strongly recommend.
Prices are not too expensive.
The food might take 10 to 15 min to cook but staff service is/was very attentive and helpful.
bartender & barmaid were very sweet and extremely polite. 🥂“

“Great food and amazing coffee“

“Definitely recommend this place.“

“The decor at this morsel of Costa Rican culture is aesthetically pleasing and if you’re in the area, this is one of the better Tico spots. We watched Costa Rica beat Paraguay in a Copa America game while eating pupusas, un Casado and Tacos Ticos and totally hit the spot. Especially since they served some salsa Lizano on the side.“

“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.“

“Love the delicious food 🥘“
