“muy buena comida y un excelente servicio“

“Buen servicio y buenas atenciones“

“Excellent!“

“Always clean, friendly and best of all such yummy food!! Soups are great!! Pastelon Delicious!! Breakfast…sooo good!“

“Great food and great service. The food reminds me of home and is reasonably priced. We keep coming back for the ox tail stew, ribs, beef steak, porkchops, dumplings and the boneless chicharonnes de pollo. Most meals are served with white or yellow rice and beans or vegetables. If you want to try something different, they have the beef liver and squid ink fried rice which remind me of squid ink Paella. The combination meals are a great option to try out different dishes. The staff and owners always greet you with a warm welcome.“

“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.“

“La comida es muy deliciosa,fresca,“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional service from Yanerys!

I had the pleasure of having lunch at Mary’s Restaurant, and the best part of my experience was the incredible service provided by Yanerys. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile and made to feel truly welcome. Their attention to detail, kindness, and professionalism were beyond impressive.

Yanerys was very attentive! Yanerys is a true treasure for this restaurant.

If you are eating at Mary’s, I recommend ordering Yanerys—you won’t be disappointed! We will definitely return, thanks to your exceptional service.“

“I sincerely have to say that this place has a truly unique and exquisite flavor. But it’s not just about the food the staff makes you feel like family. They welcome you, remember you, greet you warmly, and always make you feel at home.

I honestly give this place a 1000 out of 100! Excellent food, great prices, and amazing service.

If you’re looking for delicious food, great value, and outstanding hospitality, El Verdadero Rancho is the place to go. Highly recommended!“

“They Got Some Banging Empanadas And Some Good Milkshakes. They Also Have The Good Dominican Food Chimichurri, Mangu, Yaroa, Etc..“

“I had a wonderful experience at Don Alex Restaurant in Montclair. Rosa, our waiter, was very cordial, attentive, and welcoming, which made the visit even more enjoyable. The food was delicious and offered excellent value for the price. I would definitely recommend giving Don Alex a try!“

“I've eaten at this restaurant once in person and a few times via DoorDash. This is some of the best Latino food outside of your abuela's kitchen. The first time I visited, I was in Bloomfield and this restaurant had a great rating so my GF and I stopped by. It was empty mid-afternoon on a Friday. The service was great! I believe the server was the owner and chef of the restaurant. He explained everything on the menu that we had questions about.

GF and I
We've had the oxtails, churrasco, black rice, white rice and beans, maduros, tostones and empanadas. Our go to order is the churrasco. The food is amazing. Everything is cooked and seasoned nicely. The ingredients are fresh. I truly don't have a complaint.
You can tell that someone who has studied Latino cuisine is the chef.

The last few times I've gone to pick up my order at the restaurant, it's been empty. I'm sure they get tons of delivery orders but it would be great for more in person activity!

Please support local businesses! I don't want this restaurant to close for solely selfish reasons. The last Latin restaurant that we loved closed in Bayonne years ago and it's been hard to find a replacement.

The bill is $75-77 when we order because we love churrasco. However, there are cheaper options on this menu.“

“The best Dominican food in the area“

“I ate at this restaurant during my Christmas vacation visit to New York. It is fantastic! The staff is friendly and welcoming. The food is so tasty. It was better than the big advertised restaurants. If you want a real delicious meal and some great music while you eat, go to this place. It's a hidden gem.“

“Food always fresh and delicious & very reasonably priced - Been my secret treasure 10+ years - the owner's work as hard as employees & greet everyone as family.
Best suited to go or for a small group to eat in for lunch.“

“Yeah I got that at the Dominican Restaurant, where at?? Inside the Delta Gas station, sounds sus??

It’s definitely going to raise eyebrows, but let me tell you, the place looks fabulous you walk into a standard gas station convenience store, turn right it’s a wrapped up beautiful fully running restaurant.

Food portions are MASSIVE! A platter with pernil, congris $15 , 2 people can eat from this- or at the very least you’ll have leftovers- unless you’re bougie . The Pollo Guisado was juicy and tender not rock chicken, penil was good. The beans are absolutely scrumptious. We legit got 3 platters, extra rice beans, extra maduro, guineo and a morir soñando (freshly made to order!) check didn’t go past $60 .

Plenty of parking, restaurant is clean and bright, service was pleasant- will return!“

“Only 4 tables and 12 seats but maaaan this food is the bomb. I grew up eating stews and rice for lunch in far away lands and this hits the spot. I think I inhaled my giant plate in 2 min. We'll seasoned, everything tasted good (carne, rice, red beans, maduros). Will come back when Im in the area again. Thank you to polite staff too for supporting my Spanish :)“

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

“Great food, great service!“

“I love everything in there menu!! a They serve us so much food for cheap! yessss“

“Great yummy flavorful food! Just would advise them to have the server serve the food a with some sort of presentation. A tiny effort goes along the way. Literally slapped the meat on my plate.. it doesn’t look pleasant. But it was yummy! Wish she would’ve served the right amount of steak this wasn’t expected“

“This place is soooo much fun weather you're going for lunch with coworkers or partying on a Friday night! It's great for friends, couples, parties, events. The food is delicious without breaking the bank and the staff is beyond courteous and helpful. 5 star, absolutely recommend!“

“Great service good food 👍🥝“

“One of the best hidden gems for authentic Dominican food. Fresh, homemade meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner at very reasonable prices. I paid around $13 for a lunch special and it was excellent. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic food without the fancy atmosphere.“

“Food was amazing and such a home like atmosphere. Some of the best hospitality I’ve ever experienced. Cliffside park has a gem with this place. Please come visit and I HIGHLY recommend the chimi. Prices are great especially cause of inflation but the quality is insane, food is so good they let us sample so many things. I wish you guys could smell how good it smells in here too. PLEASE TRY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD IT WAS FIRE LOL.“

“Beef stew and Chivo were good. Beans are ok, not great. A serving of tostones is for 2 people it seems like. 4 stars 🌟 on that. I like the potato salad with eggs but they didn't have that today. Today they had macaroni salad with Tuna but I didn't taste any tuna 1 star 🌟 for the Mac salad. Service is good. It seems like a family run business. Overall I'll give them 4 stars because of they way they treat you like family. If your in passaic and hungry pass by and you won't be sorry.“

“An absolute must-visit food truck in Paterson! The quality here is amazing, and everything is made fresh. They do it all—from perfectly crispy fried foods and flavorful pinchos to incredible sandwiches. If you’re looking for a great spot to eat, I highly recommend checking them out!“

“Everything was wonderful from the ambience , food and service . Celebrated my birthday with my family !! We all enjoyed every morsel. Thank you for all.“

“The restaurant is so clean, the owner is so welcoming, and the food was amazing. My husband and myself loved the food. We would Definitely come back for more. Thank you for providing a great experience , and making very delicious food .“

“Pico Y Pala is a great spot for authentic Dominican comfort food. I stopped by for lunch and ordered the roasted chicken with rice and beans, plus a side of tostones. Everything tasted fresh, the chicken was juicy, and the portions were more than generous. The staff was welcoming, service was quick, and the prices were very reasonable. It's the kind of neighborhood restaurant you'll want to visit again.“

“Tienen que visitar este gran y majestuoso restaurante lo bien que se come!!“

“One of the best latin restaurants i been to of its kind. The service is just where it begins , all of the servers make you literally feel like you’re at home. Then to make it even better the food is AMAZING! Always fresh and never have tried something I didn’t like. Great place!“

“The best Dominican food in the area, very nice staff and great prices. My favorite is chicharron and pernil. I love this place. God bless them.“

“I ordered from two good to go, which is an app that gives you discounted meals for less at the end of the night. They gave me liver which I’m not a fan of liver, but I gave it to a friend. I got potato salad. That was delicious a soup with pork in it and vegetables, rice and beans and a vegetable dish with okra and plantains. I will try out their fried chicken soon everything was packaged very good and the place looks very clean. A+

Parking: Very busy street and hard to find parking in“

“Definitely they offer good and fresh food, the delivery time accurate, if they tell you 30 minutes it is. Humble people, that restaurant cares about its customers. I’m very picky about eating and this is my third time ordering from this Restaurant, and The Brasa from this location on New York Avenue exceeded my expectations. 👍🏼😋👏🏼“

“This has become my go-to Spanish restaurant! Its conveniently located on Trenton Ave (near Clifton border) The facility is always clean and the staff is super friendly. Always great tasting-well seasoned food to choose from at very reasonable prices- compared to other restaurants. They also offer Catering services!! Give it a try..you will not be disappointed!“

“I came here for the empanadas and they also serve mangu at all times of the day - the woman who helped me was super nice & even gave me a free drink one time. She has earned another regular customer, i will be returning more often <3

update : i was disappointed today that half my empanadas had barely any beef :/ i hope it was a one time thing. as every other time i’ve went they were filled.“

“We truly enjoyed every drop. Gone in 60 seconds!! 😋“

“I got married on 5/25/25 and the very next day we were having a BBQ. With no time to cook I decided to cater. I ordered from Caribbean Station and it was amazing. It was fresh and so delicious, everyone talked about the food. Since then I have catered my Labor Day BBQ and next will be my daughter’s baby shower. They are the best!“

“Amazing food and huge portions! As you can tell from the picture, they really hook it up. The meat was cooked perfectly and super well-seasoned, paired with perfect rice and beans, and delicious sweet plantains. A huge standout was the salad too-it was incredibly fresh and came with a generous amount of avocado. It has that real authentic, home-cooked flavor. I'd recommend this place in a heartbeat“

“Amazing homestyle Dominican food! There’s at least 5 restaurants like it on Monroe street in Passaic but this is still my favorite. There’s portions are always generous and sO affordable. I’ve come at all times of the day and their selection is always fresh and full.“
