Dominican Restaurants near Hoboken, NJ

“A tiny place, but what it lacks in size, it certainly makes up in cuisine.

It was my first time ordering from here, and I will definitely be back. I ordered the pollo guisado, arroz con pollo, and tostones. Very flavorful and delicious.
The portions were enough for leftovers.“

“great people and music. if you want a quiet place , stay home 🏡“

“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.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.“

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

“I ordered delivery from their website. No third party delivery service and it felt GREAT! I just paid for my food and gave a tip to the delivery person. I am so grateful that El Tina’s still does this.

We ordered the oxtail. It was delicious! So meaty and full of flavor. We also ordered the pernil which was very tasty and tostones with garlic sauce.

The food came piping hot and quickly. I cannot wait to order from Tina’s again.

Thank you for being such a great place in Riverdale.“

“This is an excellent Dominican spot close to Fort Lee that I will be a regular customer of going forward. Like the other reviews say, the flavor, quality, service, portion and prices are ALL on point here which is rare. Hopefully things don’t change anytime soon“

“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“

“the rotisserie chicken is grestrice a peas nice my favorite spot 😋“

“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!“

“A Home Run of flavor I just devoured at Lugo's Restaurant & Lounge, and I'm still reeling from the culinary hat trick. This dish is the MVP of my food here - succulent shrimp, indulgent lobster, and tender skirt steak join forces to create a flavor trifecta that will leave you screaming 'Triple Crown!'

The shrimp was so juicy, it practically swam onto my fork. The lobster? Butter-tender and begging to be devoured. And don't even get me started on the skirt steak - cooked to perfection and practically singing 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game' with every bite.

Lugo's Triple Play is a grand slam of flavors, a culinary World Series champion. If you haven't tried it yet, drop everything and get to Lugo's - your taste buds will thank you. Five stars, ten stars, a million stars - this dish is the real MVP."“

“I went today and omg it was great. Delicious fresh empanadas. I highly recommend empanada city ❤️“

“Amazing if you want a Dominican Feel in your heart by the smell and atmosphere this is the perfect place to be at. There food is delicious and they are very nice. They do take only cash but they allow Zelle as well as cash up.
Only thing I wish they had was Large cups sizes for the morir Soñando 🤣“

“Really nice place to eat everyday, the 10$ meal is just really generous, if you eat a lot this is the place for you. I'm only speaking of 10$ meal. There are more things on the menu. Add a nice costumer service and this place is just great, I just had lunch in Newark, for ... like the same amount of food or less and it cost me 33$, I wish I was near Rancho Deli...“

“DELICIOUS! Best mofongo & chicharron in Manhattan. Takes exactly like the one in PR that my family serves me. Everything is so flavorful and juicy and the chicharron is so incredibly crispy but still fatty. Was perfect for takeout and I’ll def be going back all the time“

“July 8 2024 order some rice and 2 porkchop the lady gave me 2 ham steak which was very salty not too please at all so when you order make sure it's what u ask for I don't speak Spanish!!!!!“

Como me llamo la muchacha mas que rueda gracias a ustedes de parte de mi y mi familia“

“I’m Puerto Rican and when I’m feeling homesick (often lately) I come in for a feast. Best rotisserie chicken, perfect seasoning, tasty crispy skin. Arroz con gandules is my favorite but the congris (black bean rice) is a close second. Also, I have a severe gluten allergy and have never had an issue! Love this place!“

“Friendly people, Great customer service. The food is good and made when you order so you know it's always fresh! And the prices are affordable considerating the neighborhood. Definitely recommend this place. It's been in the community for years!“

“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“

“The food here is very good. I personally like their "Ropa Vieja" dish. They make it excellent!“

“Just moved to town from Hudson County so we def know about good Spanish food. Only had some pernil so far but it was delicious, skin was nice and crunchy. The rest of the food there looked great too. Can't wait to go back and try the rest“

“Excellent customer service from A to Z, thanks chef PaPi food 🥘 and drinks amazing 😉!!“

“My partner and I visited Rancho Caribeño and honestly it was an 11/10 experience! I enjoyed every second of it! What an amazing opportunity to ride in such a beautiful place. Also, I wanted to say that our guide was amazing! He understood that I am an experienced rider and allowed me to gallop up and down the beach, and also gave the confidence to my partner who is a novice to have a couple of canters too. These are memories I will always treasure, thank you for being the most amazing part of the holiday. I will never forget this!“

“The restaurant gets pretty busy at times. The food here is great but please work on the customer service here!!!!! If you order on the phone call back to make sure they get your order. I’ve called in advance 30 minutes and then come to pick up the food. The servers say they never got a call and will work on my food.“

“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!“

I'll visit againOh, i had the shrimp in red sauce yummy, the beans n rice were good. The service was okay a little scattered and a little long on some things but okay“

“Local gem!!!! I have been coming here for years. I recommend my favorite, which is a chicken sandwich with the rotisserie chicken on hero bread with the lettuce, tomatoes, onions, jalapeño, mayonnaise and avocado. Your belly will thank you for the fulfilling-ness of this meal. I also get a smoothie with papaya, apple, pineapple, orange and cayenne pepper.
Staff is friendly and this a family oriented type spot. A total recommendation.

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.“

“If you're looking for some of the best Dominican food in the US, it's here - down a few steps, in this pool hall. Everything was delicious, and I absolutely loved the habichuelas (beans). The gallina was tender to the point it was falling off the bone, and the rice was fluffy and full of flavor. This is truly a place where you can taste the love.“
