Spanish Restaurants near Hackensack, NJ

“Love this place , food, atmosphere staff location etc. What I don't like and so ny family and friends is the music is always too loud. I spoke about this before with no actions to resolve it.“

“Yummy yummy.Great for when you forget to take the meal your wife cook for you to work.They have pineapples watermelons and other fruits on the go perfect for when you're just done with the gym.They also do catering which is on point plenty to choose from and they'll make whatever you want.I definitely recommend this place it's great for people like me that don't have time to make a meal so instead of eating boring McDonald's and all that other garbage around that area stop by check them out and if you like home cook meals then this is the spot. You're in and out within 10 minutes tops. You tried the rest now try the best. Always love to support small businesses especially that put time and energy into their meals and don't do small portions like most places you will get a lot of meat for your buck. I'd like to let you people know that I honestly enjoyed the food you guys cooked and always recommend them to my friends I am usually in Lodi so I take a drive down to Hackensack just so I can get the delicious meals that they prepare. I know I may be boring but my favorite one is chicken franchise "chicken with lemon" ?It is on point and I feel like I could eat that 100 times a day LOL. All right enough of me rambling just wanted to let you guys know that this is Justin certified“

“Great hidden spot for some authentic Colombian food. They have three (3) different dishes of the typical Colombian plate: Bandeja Paisa. Also, it is a BYOB. There is parking onsite. I have not had a bad time here. Everything is delicious and the service is great. Highly recommended.“

“Excelente servicio.!!!! Los empleados son muy profesionales, impecable servicio, y la comida deliciosa. Fascinada con los frijoles ?, el ? pollo mejor dicho todo, super limpio, pero lo mejor la simpatía de Marcela y el toque final, EL CAFECITO CHEVERE!! Súper recomendado!!!“

“If you are visiting NYC and need a reservation for amazing cocktails and fare, please visit Enoteca Harlem. Outstanding vibe, amazing food and drinks. You won't be disappointed. ❤️

We were there last night 12/16/25 and I had literally the best gin based Martini I have ever tasted. The bartender was highly skilled, personable and engaging. The appetizers were fantastic.

We'll definitely be back!“

“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!!!“

“We have been going to El Cid for over 30 years and went back for the first time since they reopened. I’m happy to say that it was as great as it was in the past. The Prime Rib, sirloin and sangria were delicious and we can’t wait to go back!“

“my favorite is the prosecutor ! but everything is great ! very cool guys there !“

“My taste buds were surprised in the best possible way. The restaurant is small with busy lunches, yet delivers on taste and customer care. The kitchen delivers surprising quality. These workers deliver great service because they trust their product. Amazingly tasty!!!“

“Food was very good! We arrived and staff was very warm and welcoming! The food and drinks were good, the churros were amazing! I would only deduct a start rating due to pricing…I think for what it is the prices a bit higher than what I would pay. Otherwise good place to eat.“

“We sat outside. Our party was served quickly and efficiently. Food was very good.“

“I called this morning at 6am to inquire how long it would take them to make 3 dozen empanadas, for a work event, they said ten mi utes! They saved my day. The empanadas were a hit at work! They were delicious! I bought chicken, beef and cheese! They’re affordable too! Gracias! 🙏🏽 I’ll be buying from here again.“

“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.“

“Awesome fries and Cuban sandwich. Good selection of empanadas. Highly recommend.“

“* 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.“

“Súper centro y súper comida!“

“Always have a great experience“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“
