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!!“

“The chicharones at this location is absolutely the best around the area. My first time there they made sure I was well taken care of. They even went above and beyond by cooking new pieces of pork for me so that they can be fresh. The pieces of pork was just right with the right amount of meat and fat. Usually places I’ve tried had so much fat that I don’t get to enjoy the chicharones but not this location.“

“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.“

“Forever my favorite Dominican spot since childhood

PROS
*Pernil is fire ! - literally really good pernil
*Can order food for the holidays here would highly recommend.
*My fam loved their pernil, moro de guandules and empanadas 🤤
*I think is the best one in town 🤫

Cons
*Maybe that is a small place so eating In there can get a little hectic.“

“This is a wonderful local restaurant that offers Colombian and even some Dominican food options. Call to place your order and support local businesses! I usually order mangú for breakfast or choose from some delicious dinner options à la carte. They also have food ready for pickup from 11 to 3 every day, along with fresh bakery items and traditional Colombian treats for the soul.“

“I visited this location last weekend, I enjoyed every part of it, the food was great, the service was excellent, my waitress was Kattya, she is great, so patient, kind and friendly it was a busy day but she was very helpful I really liked my visit and I will go again for the atmosphere“

“Venir de 🇵🇷 a NJ y no visitar La Patrona Restaurante NO LA HACE. ❤❤👏🏻👏🏻❤❤“

“The staff at this location were very warm and welcoming. The food came out really fast. Their portions are good too. I would say a plate here is shareable between two people. I ordered the Asadito with two sides of rice and it was just enough for my cousin and I. Their drinks are good, but not strong.“

“First time visiting, and it didn’t disappoint! We came for lunch as a group of 8 and had a great experience. Wendy was our host—friendly, attentive, and clearly a hard worker who made us feel welcome right away.

We ordered a variety of dishes including the chicken sandwich, breaded chicken breast, skirt steak, shrimp, beef soup, tostones, french fries, tortillas, salads, and steamed vegetables. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared, with generous portions all around.

One of the highlights for me was the drinks—they offer natural fruit juices, including my favorite: freshly squeezed orange juice. You can really taste the freshness!

Overall, a great spot for delicious Latin food and warm service. Looking forward to coming back.“
