Spanish Restaurants near East Orange, NJ

“Don't believe the bad reviews here. The food is great. I had the chicken. Got 4 drumsticks with yellow rice and beans. Amazing. Just don't order empanadas they don't know how to makes those. Other then that food is amazing. Me and my girl went there and now I went today again for lunch at work 5 of us all ordered stuff and everyone at work said it was the best. The chicken falls right off the bone and the rice is cooked perfectly. Highly recommend this place“

“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!“

“Best food and margaritas!!“

“I still rave about the garlic shrimp, pallella and sangria even in Nashville!“

“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!“

“My 3rd visit...we went early Tuesday evening...4pm rezzy, so can't weigh in on the ambiance because it was very quiet... but everything we ordered ( 10 different plates ) was excellent... very authentic feel and the happy hour pricing was a pleasant surprise... definitely looking forward to going back“

“It has become one of my favorite places to go to taste a delicious seafood soup, there is a variety of Hispanic food and the cheese they sell is delicious. The atmosphere is very calm, the music is not as loud as in other places, the cleanliness is quite acceptable.“

“Anyone that says this place isn’t amazing is nuts trust in me go eat be happy and go again I’ve been slowing working through the menu pernil - fire - beef stew - fire - oven chicken - you guessed it fire- rice and beans stay slapping I love when they add the pumpkin if you know you know. Chimi slaps hard and I’m a big fan of the fried sweet plantain they stay sweet and delish. I saw a review about service and have been here now 7 times? I’ve waited twice when busy nothing crazy because food is worth the wait. Anyone steering you away is salty country on your own !“

They were delicious! I bought chicken, beef and cheese! They’re affordable too! Gracias! 🙏🏽 I’ll be buying from here again.“

“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.“

OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPROVEMENT: the space is very small and fills up quickly“

“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.“

“great food and cool place to eat“

“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.“

“Decided to do my birthday party here, Rmon and his wife Esther are such a lovely couple and very welcoming, if I can recommend a dish it will be the Picadera so good and just the perfect seasoning and for a drink he does Margaritas my fav is his Passion Fruit one. Prices are manageable and the atmosphere is warming.“

“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.“

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

“The menu offers a lot of homemade-like recipes, which taste great, and I must highlight that, for the price they charge (approx. 13 dollars), they give you a LOT of meat and chicken. The portion is very generous, so the balance cost-value is really good here.“

“Food is delicious! Come here all the time and is always fresh 100% recommend. Staff is excellent and always very friendly and to top it off this place is super clean and organized! Definitely will be ordering catering for my upcoming event here!“

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

“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 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 food was very good. Service was excellent. Price was unbeatable.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This restaurant is one of the best Dominican Restaurant in Elizabeth! Kitchen is always clean, food always tastes fresh! Drinks are amazing! The service is always great and pleasant! Don Chucho, the owner and his wife, have created a family atmosphere where all are welcomed! You can have a small gathering if you like. There is a space for it and they have great music always playing. This place is highly recommended for Dominican confort food for dine in or takeout!“

“From the staff member to the owner of the restaurant they create a great atmosphere they are very welcoming prices are great quality is a 10 out of 10 if you want to have a great culinary experience and enjoy a fantastic delectable meal this is the place. It's very quiet cozy delicious calm friendly for birthdays, dates , weddings, or any occasion that you want to do with a few quality people and quality food for a reasonable price .
