“a good tapas experience in a casual setting. The chorizo mussels were tasty, with smoky chorizo and tender mussels. The chicken was well-cooked, juicy, and crispy on the outside. The mushroom croquettes were crispy and creamy, and the churros were light, with a rich dulce de leche sauce for dipping.

Overall, Boqueria is a solid choice for a relaxed meal with flavorful tapas.“

“Friendly, efficient, professional service from (Marlon) and owner (Alex). Delicious tapas included Albondigas, Camarones en Salsa De Mango, and Tortilla Española (that potato/cheese/onion treat ) Oh - and the ginormous Land and Sea Paella was superb. Add a coupla glasses of their Lovely Logos Cab, and — just WOW!“

“Went here for Saturday brunch.
Not so busy unlike diner cross the street. Few outdoor table as well. Bars in front. Seated indoor right behind high table.

Super tapas. Sangria and cerveza to pair. Jamon triangle, my wife not as keen on Manchester, I didn't mind.
Brunch has sunny-side egg, chorizo, and potato generous portion. Ordered extra pan along. We liked pan con tomato with much generous layer of tomatoes better than Nacional or Little Spain at Hudson Yards. Rice with squid in black ink most exquisite. Not so salty, perfect. Finished with postre a la mode. Nice coffee.

Next time looking forward to order jamon y queso, croqueta and flan, pair with oloroso.“

“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!“

“Let me start off by saying this hidden gem is the best Dominican food I have had since I moved to New Jersey almost 10 years ago, and I have tried a lot. Originally I found this on Google after reading some of the reviews, I decided to give it a try and let me say they did not disappoint. As soon as you walk in the aroma of good home-cooked food slaps you in the face and your mouth will begin to water as mines did. The food was very fresh and flavorful. I ordered the Pernil, yellow rice, red beans ,red onions and avocado. I also ordered the chicken empanadas. The staff was extremely accommodating friendly and went above and beyond. Let's just say I will definitely be coming back 10 out of 10. Highly recommend!!!“

“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.“

“Love their food. Everything I've had there is so tasty. I'm disappointed that they changed their fried potatoes. They are more like a bag of chips now, otherwise no complaints.“

“Shout out to Ricky's for being the last restaurant in the neighborhood to keep it real on food quality, price, and portion size.

I'd been scoping out Ricky's for a few weeks, after I noticed it by accident while walking by.

Wonderful and delicious home kitchen Puerto Rican dishes. I have no idea why this place doesn't have a line out the door all day everyday...probably because of its humble unassuming appearance.

Right now with the price gouging at restaurants and inflation, it's Exhausting going out to eat when you look at the bill.

It felt so good to sit down and have a plate if delicious homecooked food with a bottle of soda for $9.75!

Picture below is PR stew chicken w/rice and beans. Definitely will be back soon!“

“* Tasty and affordable menu* Great for quick bites to go* Fresh ingredients* Friendly staff* Can get busy during lunch hours* Not a lot of seating (maybe 4? at the window)* Parking may be difficult (for both free and metered)I really wanted the Cuban sandwich, but they had run out of roast pork and kept apologizing... ? I opted for the Philly cheesesteak and loved it! It wasn't overwhelmingly large or greasy. As for the chicken avocado wrap, they peeled the avocado right there! ? It felt healthy and quite filling.

Parking: We had to park on another street across from the deli.“

“We recently held a family reunion at El Mesón Español, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, taking the time to explain the menu and answer all of our questions. The food was outstanding—every dish was cooked to perfection. We especially enjoyed the paella, oxtail, veal, and ribs—each one full of rich, authentic. Highly recommended!“

“I'm really thankful to the servers and host for taking care of us. We had to wait a little bit for our table because the staff graciously allows walk-in guests to use reserve tables for a limited time. It was all worth it though because our meal was fantastic! Despite this being a topless restaurant, all the portion sizes were actually pretty great. I think they gave us more cod fritters and gambas per serving as a courtesy. Had a great time, and will definitely come back!“

“Overall food was good. Black ink paella was served warm. Not piping hot like I’m used to at other restaurants with the offering.

Appetizers and my old fashioned cocktail were on point. Wife’s lychee martini was not impressive.

Decor was nice, but not elegant for the prices charged. Overall a 4/5“

“I’m so glad their back! ❤️❤️❤️“

“First rate service! Very nice wine selection! The food...! I ordered the filet mignon and I could cut it with the wrong side of the knife! Cooked to perfection! Creme Brulee was very good! The atmosphere was cozy! Five out of Five!!“

“This place serves food that lives up to its reputation. Employees greeted us with authentic smiles! This spot balances warmth with proper cleaning. Every order I've placed shows good taste. This restaurant gets my complete endorsement.“

“"This Cuban food restaurant offers excellent value for money. The staff is friendly and attentive. However, a small limitation is that they do not accept card payments, which may be inconvenient for some customers. Overall, the experience is wonderful, but due to this limitation, I give it 4 stars."⭐️“

“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!“

“desayunos deliciosos los batidos son frescos“

“If you want to live the experience of a “corrientazo” restaurant in NJ, this is the place! Typical Colombian flavor. The roasts and soups are SPECTACULAR! Warm attention from Sandra and Marcela. Excellent prices
OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPROVEMENT: the space is very small and fills up quickly“

“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!“

“(Translated by Google) Excellent customer service, diverse variety of dishes on the menu, you will also enjoy a very pleasant and cozy atmosphere(Original)Excelente servicio al cliente, diversa variedad de platos en el menú además disfrutarás de un ambiente muy agradable y acogedor“

“They have a friendly and quick staff, they know the menu very well and so far made two great suggestions that I really enjoyed. Beat Bolon we had so far in the planting to cheese and meat ratio. Hoping they Jazz it up in the future and add a cheese sauce like their competitors who don’t have that great ratio just mentioned.“
