Spanish Restaurants near East Rutherford, NJ

“Amazing food. Went here after a Karol G concert at MetLife. A lot of people went here after the concert. They were definitely busy but that didn’t bring down the quality of the food. I thought the chicken tacos were very good and so were the carne asada tacos. The rice and beans were delicious too and their green home made hot sauce. Definitely go here it won’t disappoint!!!“

“I had an incredible dining experience at Salinas! The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The cocktails were expertly crafted and paired perfectly with the meal. The warm, inviting atmosphere and attentive service made the entire experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Salinas to anyone looking for exceptional Spanish cuisine in New York City, and I can’t wait to return!“

“I went to Ella Social for the first time on Friday, December 19, 2025. The food was superbly seasoned and delicious! The service was top notch and the ambience was great.“

“very cute vibe and super kind waitstaff!! however if you have a bigger body at all, prepare to feel absolutely cramped. upon entering you literally have to squeeze behind everyone seated at the bar. its about a foot of space! then on the other side of the restaurant, the tables are packed so tightly together you will literally be touching legs with the folks next to you. and to make matters worse, theres one long booth for all the tables and its packed full with pillows! so now the pillows are occupying the already tight space to sit. i know restaurants in this city have to make the most of their square footage, but this one felt particularly compacted.“

“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“

“This place is phenomenal! The food is seriously, seriously good, and the service is impeccable. Audrey and Ashley were our hosts and they were absolutely amazing. Ian was our server and he didn’t miss a beat the entire night. Our drinks got to the table so fast I’m pretty sure the bartender knew what we wanted before we ordered them. The atmosphere, food, and service were all on point. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great meal and an even better experience.“

“We absolutely loved our experience at MyMoon! The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the ambiance was amazing. Both the indoor space and the garden are beautiful and have such a warm, inviting atmosphere. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner inside, and later moved to the garden to continue the evening and enjoy the beautiful outdoor setting. The entire place was also very clean and well maintained. Everything was wonderful, and we truly enjoyed our evening. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!“

“Went here on a whim to celebrate our friends special ocassion. The interior is nicely decorated and quiet. We ordered some patatas bravas, cheese and ham platter, white sangria and the chicken! Our food was brought our promptly and we enjoyed our food and drinks. The plates were easily shareable among 4 people and the food was good. The star was definitely the chicken. I'm not sure what they put in that chicken or how they cooked it but it was delicious. One of our friends declared ir the best chicken he's had in his life.
Huge shout out to our server who was funny, attentive and brought us some champagne to celebrate our special ocassion!“

“Having a hands on sommolier is a lost art and a rare find in the upscale casual scene, which Bartolo excels at. What an incredible wine list paired with unique and flavorful dishes. Their filet was outstanding and their tripe and blood sausage dish really stood out for their attention to detail. Rounding out the night with exceptional desserts and surprising dessert wines really make this spot a neighborhood gem.“

“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.“

“Enoteca for me is a 5/5, travelling from London the welcome was warm the ambience was a plenty and the gin list the most extensive I have ever seen. We were fortunate have the menu talked through by the owner and at our request his food and wine choices were impeccable. Just fantastic 👌🏻“

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

“The oxtail soup is the reason I keep coming back. It’s well cooked, generous portion, and satisfying. Service can run slow, but it seems to be a family-run spot with a hole-in-the-wall charm, so it comes with the territory and is worth the wait.“

“Great Spanish Mercado vibe just off the High Line in the middle of Manhattan!“

“Great food nice menu choices! Delicious bread rolls. Great choices of everything drinks food dessert and liquor and non alcoholic drinks.“

“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.“

“The attention was wonderful. The white sangria was very good. The food was absolutely delicious. Paella marinara, Chilean sea bass and the mariscada were all yummy. Best part. … the flamenco show.“

“Victoria and her catering team are incredible. I reached out for food for 1000 people for a FIFA World Cup watch party at our corporate office in New York. Unfortunately I did not have advanced notice for this order and placed it last night. When they opened this morning they did everything they possibly could to accommodate our request and I must say from the presentation to delivery and communication everything was seamless and perfectly executed. I really appreciated how kind and accommodating Victoria was and how she made this happen for us. I will absolutely be ordering from them again (with advanced notice of course) and recommending them for future events!“
