Spanish Restaurants near East Newark, NJ

“Great atmosphere, great service, great prices.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Muy bueno y super recomendado ok“

“"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!“

“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.“

“Great service, excellent cuisine.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Have been coming here for many years and went yesterday with a party of 9. I had made a reservation and they had a beautiful seating area set up for us. All of the food was delicious, the seafood was very fresh and all of the meat was very flavorful. The staff are very attentive and helpful.“

“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.“

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

“The second you walk in the door, you're hit in the face with some of the most delicious, intoxicating scents of fresh cooked food! Great service. It is helpful if you speak or understand Spanish but not necessary. I don't and I still get great service. The food is always so good, hot, fresh. I never know what to get but it's always delicious!!! My favorite restaurant near me!!! 😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰😋😋😋“
