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.“

“This is a new find for me, and wow! I'm hooked in their skirt steak. Perfect seasoned and tender. I've had the chicken soup at lunch and it's just like an old Latin, Caribbean grandmas recipe. Highly recommend this hidden gem in Hackensack!“

“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!!!“

“What a fantastic find in Chelsea! We stopped in on a whim and ended up having one of the best dining experiences we've had in Manhattan. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was exceptional, and every dish that came to the table was packed with flavor.

We ordered several plates to share so we could try as much as possible, and honestly, every single item impressed us. The cocktails were just as memorable as the food and complemented everything perfectly.

The only downside? There were still dishes on the menu we wanted to try, but we simply ran out of room. This is the kind of place you'll want to come back to again and again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for amazing Spanish cuisine in NYC!“

“Went here on a whim to celebrate our friends special ocassion. The interior is nicely decorated and quiet. We ordered some patatas bravas, cheese and ham platter, white sangria and the chicken! Our food was brought our promptly and we enjoyed our food and drinks. The plates were easily shareable among 4 people and the food was good. The star was definitely the chicken. I'm not sure what they put in that chicken or how they cooked it but it was delicious. One of our friends declared ir the best chicken he's had in his life.
Huge shout out to our server who was funny, attentive and brought us some champagne to celebrate our special ocassion!“
