“I've lived in this area for almost a decade, but had not yet found Latin food that could compare to what I had growing up in Union City and when I lived in the city and visited Washington Heights. Until now, that is! Surrender Cafe recently became available on DoorDash. I had never heard of it, but was drawn by the great reviews, tempting photos of the food, and many of my favorites on a menu with lots of my favorites. This is the first time I've ever ordered from a place, and then immediately again the next day. I especially love that so many of their dishes are available in smaller portions. Want to try the mofongo? Here's the mofonguitos! And meat-only portions can be had of just about everything in small, medium or large sizes, which made it easy for me to sample the beef and chicken guisado, red and black beans, pernil, so I ordered the bistec ecebollado for my main dish. Everything, absolutely everything is delicious, and arrived well packaged. Oh - and I almost forgot - the tres leches! Absolutely top notch. Not only some of the best Latin food I've ever had, but some of the best comfort food I've ever had, period.“

“My wife and I went in for a quick breakfast sandwich (Bacon, egg and cheese, coffee, and a natural juice - tamarindo) and everything tasted amazing. The staff is very friendly and even customize the sandwiches for us. We would definitely go back and recommend as well ?“

“This diner's service is always great. I think there is so much to choose from it can be intimidating. When it was time to pay the check, I noticed their new pay system had already added a 15% tip to the bill. I think tipping should ALWAYS be the discretion of the patron. Because my server was great, I didn't have a problem paying the 15%. I wonder if her tip is shared. FYI, you can change the tip amount at the register, but ya'll need to pay attention.Food at this diner is always yummy. The staff is great and at my visit they were on top of everything. There is someone ready to clear your plate if you're done. Our server was attentive. Making sure if we needed anything else during our meal.Kid-friendliness: They have paper placemats for kids to doodle while waiting for their meal.“

“Olgas place is a land mark in the Elizabeth Port. To know Olga's is to know Elizabeth. Tucked away on a quiet one way street. Just on the other side of where the Turnpike divides the Frog Hollow Section of Elizabeth from the rest of the city.Olga has been one of the best places to enjoy. Recently remodeled and updated. This family owned an operated Restaurant/ Bar.Has been serving the best ?? Costa Rican Cusine for over 20 years. The menu is full of all sorts of great dishes. From a surf and turf to a Chifrijo. One of my personal favorites.White Rice covered in black beans with small pieces of Chicharon mixed in.( fried pork bits) topped with pico de gallo and sliced avocado. A hardy meal. My go to after a long day and an empty stomach.The prices are really reasonable.If you are just looking to have a good time and catch up with some friends.Olga's Place is that place. Where the music is playing just loud enough to make you dance in your seat. But not so loud where you can't enjoy the conversation with your date.You can sit at the bar or dinning room. TVs align the walls. You can catch the latest sporting event. Don't see the game you are looking for. Ask one of the friendly managers. They will be happy to look for it and put it on for you.Talking about the bar. They serve the latest and trendiest drinks. The bar tenders and wait staff are on point. Everyone is super friendly and go out of thier way to make you feel at home.The place is really busy on the weekends. As it has it share of local regulars and people who come from all over the state.There is plenty of parking on both sides of the building.If you know me and follow my post and reviews. You know I really enjoy my Cappuccinos. Ximena is one of the servers and makes it perfect every time. Ask for her to make your Cappuccino.You won't be disappointed.They have something going on every day of the week. Karaoke,Salsa Night and even a game night. You can enjoy singing along with the staff. They seem to know all the songs. Claudia will entertain you with her singing. Karla will charm you with her great smile and personality. You won't ever have to wait long. For your food or drink. I enjoy Thursday Nights when Kelly and Hariana are working. They make sure my order is right everytime.Olga's Place is trendy,hip yet they maintain a great family atmosphere.I just can't say enough about this place.I dont offer 5 stars often but this place is really that good. Follow them on Instagram and Facebook to stay connected with what's going on.I have quickly become a regular. I bet you might to. #ElizabethStrongParking: The Building has off street parking on both sides. On th weekends you mayhave to find parking on the streets.Kid-friendliness: Olga's has a family atmosphere and is kid friendly. On any given day.

“I Uber eat my dinner and unfortunately they forgot to put my side empanadas. I contacted the restaurant and not long after someone who actually works for the restaurant came and hand-deliver my empanadas. If it wasn’t for my son who loves empanadas I would’ve left it alone but of course I had to contact the restaurant because that’s the only thing he would eat but I have nothing negative to say about this restaurant I have been going there for years now and they go beyond.“

“e visitado muchos restaurantes peruanos donde la comida es rica,pero la verdad ninguna mejor que la comida de La Casa de Don Andrés. Es el autentico sabor peruano,más delicioso no puede haber.el mejor servicio y un ambiente muy tranquilo y familiar.lo recomiendo al 1000%“

Delicious and their fries are so crispy, very clean, family environment,good prices and excellent service I Highly recommend it .Kid-friendliness: My grandchildren love it they order their milkshakes ,hamburgers french fries would not eat anywhere else they say.“

“I literally just ordered from here; the diri djoun djoun with fried chicken and a side of macaroni au gratin…. They also gave a fresh side green salad. Out of the whole meal my favs were the fried chicken(well down like I like it) the diri djoun djoun was bomb!!! And the salad was soooo fresh and delicious. TO ME AND I SAY TO ME cause everyone’s taste buds are different I didn’t like the macaroni au gratin too much cause one it had ground beef or turkey in it hard to tell being that it was well marinated into the macaroni au gratin and also in my opinion it was a lil dry (once again this is my opinion cause some might find it to be just right, whereas I like that oily and fattening macaroni au gratin taste). But do not not order it guys cause your guys may choose to differ when it comes to the macaroni au gratin. But other than that I enjoyed the food. Been a while since I had haiatian food that actually taste like Haitian food. Oh ye the ambiance is to die for fancy and upscale AF!!!! Definitely got themselves a loyal customer! ♥️“

“I highly recommend City Tavern in Elizabeth, NJ! Every visit is a great one. The food is always delicious no matter what we order. We're never disappointed. The ambiance is stunning and there's an ample amount of parking available. One of thing that standouts about City Tavern is the attentive service by the owner. She's always present and makes sure that the service is top-notch. You can see the owner and staff, they genuinely care about their customers' satisfaction. This place is a gem that never disappoints us. Whether you're looking for a memorable dining experience or simply craving exceptional food, this is the place to go!“

Juan, our server was very kind and helpful. My favorite meal is the jerk chicken pasta. My husband had the buttermilk chicken sandwich for the first time, he loved it.“

“We arrived late morning for breakfast before heading to the airport. El Cabanol was in the middle of preparing their many lunchtime delivery orders but still provided a very tasty meal without a long wait. It was hot and delicious! Nice clean diner atmosphere run by a local family. Give it a try!“

“Everything there is just so fresh and I can’t get over how juicy and flavorful the pastelillo are. For $1 you’d think you’d be getting a small empty empanada... Nope! They’re big and stuffed with either beef, cheese, chicken (my favorite), egg, pizza etc. honestly the food 5/5, freshness 5/5, atmosphere 5/5, and the price is insanely fair. Only thing I wished is if they had the red country club soda and that’s it.“

“Best flavored food I've had since being on the East Coast this past year. I got the yellow rice, habichuela, and pernil. The skin was so crunchy, and everything was delicious. Can't wait to go back and try the empanadas and other meat. Glad I found this gem of a “

“This food is delicious and true to Dominican food! It is incredibly hard to find authentic DR/PR food in Newark area. Customers service is cool, you are greeted properly. They're usually very busy near weekends. I had the pork mofongo, the chicharron with rice and beans. Everything is flavorful and seasoned well. The portions are well rounded and filling. Price point is great. I'll definitely be back to try Empanadas, chicken etc. It's nice to finally get some real Dominican food around here! I ate it so fast I didn't take a flick, maybe next time.“

“Delicious, affordable, and consistent. I recommend the fried fish and the traditional sides are always great. Make sure you get the spicy pickled onions. Sometimes they ask if you want it and sometimes they don't but you should always get it. Also, if you are sitting down or not in a rush, order the empanadas. They are made fresh and VERY GOOD.“

Service was good, portions were generous, people were friendly, and the restaurant has incredible murals and some great Costa Rica decor. Five stars, will be back!“

“A local favorite place of mine. I love their happy hour menu and times. They're very affordable and a great place to meet up with friends or have an inexpensive date. The ambiance is nice with the grass walls and good music. The service is good too for the most part. Only thing I will say is the drinks can be a bit inconsistent sometimes.“

“Food came out fast and was delicious. Portions were more than sufficient. Very flavorful and just was a truly satisfying meal. Our waitress was friendly and the service was excellent. We will definitely be going back…soon. Big thanks to my friend, Ed, for recommending this place.Vegetarian options: Plenty of choices“

“Absolutely wonderful food. For a great price as well. What is nice about this hispanica local restaurant is that they serve popular american dishes, ranging from grilled chicken to protein omelettes to breakfast platters. They are extremely generous with the condiments and give you more than enough for the food. Super awesome of them for doing that. The restaurant itself is small and has few tables since it is a local in Kearny, New Jersey. I tried the omelette and the all American platter. Delicious. Would recommend for anyone in the Harrison area, definitely stop by and give this place a try. Their fries are thoughtfully delicious and crisp.Parking: Free street parking on a 2-way road“

“My family and I love coming here on sundays! The food is very delicious, it has a mixture or all types of Latin American dishes. My favorite is the Mofongo de pollo. It comes in a creamy mushroom sauce (I included the picture of what was barely remaining). But we also love to get the Jalea which is not in their updated menu. I did call to ask about that specifically because we ordered take out. Had a bit of a problem with my order but they were able to help me and fixed my order.“

“I’m from Uruguay so stopping by here for pizza and faina is always amazing ? they also have some other great dishes too !!Worth the trip ? BTW, if you don't know what faina (chickpea flour bread) go and try it... your pizza life will never be the same!“

Owner and wife are great shows plenty of attention to their customers and makes you feel very welcomed. Good heating during the cold.Vegetarian options: Vegetable rice, Mac and cheese saladsKid-friendliness: Establishment is Kid friendly.“
