“To the cook and the lady at the register, thank you very much for the amazing food I got tonight. I even got a nickname, which makes me very happy to be able to walk into a location where I’m not treated just as a customer. I’m also treated as a family. Como me llamo la muchacha mas que rueda gracias a ustedes de parte de mi y mi familia“

“The food itself has that real, homemade flavor you're hoping for, so I was excited. But honestly, the whole experience just kind of fell flat. The order took forever to arrive, and by the time it got here, everything was just lukewarm. The pernil, which should be the star, was unfortunately pretty dry. It's a shame because you can taste the potential, but between the long wait and the food just not being fresh, it was a letdown. It's okay, but it could be so much better with a bit more care.“

“Great food the young lady that takes my order on the phone a nice person always gets it right when it's delivered it's delivered with great presentation the salad looks fabulous it tastes wonderful but everything that you order they show a nice presentation the amount is very generous the prices are really great but more than anything else these are DR people true DR are cooking the taste fabulous. I'm puerto rican but the Dominican food is a little different than the puerto rican food but it brings home memories of PR and DR when I used to go visit on vacation now I'm an old lady I don't travel much but going to this restaurant brings back great memories if you have the time pass by you won't waste your time or your money it's a great place God-bless all“

“I placed an order on GrubHub A day after Thanksgiving. For Dominican restaurants a lot of restaurants usually dedicate certain days for certain dishes, such as stew or soup because of the process it takes however, today I was really sick and the owner of the restaurant was kind enough to make a soup from scratch for me. When I placed the order on GrubHub, I placed an order for soup however, in the caption, it did say that there was no soup for today since today is a Friday. But my vision was so blurry that I didn’t even notice it. However, the owner called back and informed me and she immediately heard how sick I literally sounded and she told me don’t worry about it that she was going to make it from scratch. It’s just gonna take some time. Honestly, their food is really good. My sister orders from them a lot so that’s why I decided to order from them and they’re truly sweet.“

“Their food is so fresh and delicious. Their customer service is very polite and friendly. I remember I left out the restaurant and got in my car and my sister dropped her whole tray of food in my car and I went back in and told the Cashier and she insisted on helping me clean out my entire front seat and helped me get all of the food out of my car. Then, if that wasn't kind enough, she then proceeded to give my sister a whole free new platter on the house. She was so humble and it reminded me that there are really great people still left in this world. She gave me hope of a new tomorrow with just that one kind gesture. I mean she cleaned out my entire car where the food fell all in my seats and on the floor. I will never have one bad thing to say about this restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious and it's the reason I started going here instead of Karina's. Food can taste great, but great service + great food is the ultimate goal. Thank you so much El Sabor Cafe !!! I will always choose you over Karina's. Even though I've gone to Karina's since I was 16.“

“I found this place a few months ago since then on a regular I’m always coming in for breakfast. I have came here on a night before I paid a reasonable amount. Nice portion size however, tonight when I came in, I got too large one oxtail and one beef stew. The portion size was ridiculous for a large. I don’t think The portion size was worth the money. and the workers when you try to speak to them, they seem as if they don’t know any English so that was another negative. However, the young lady on the dayshift does the morning she’s amazing.“

“Good Dominican food at a really good price plus there's a wide variety and they aren't cheap about the amount you get. Really wonderful staff. Super friendly and very helpful if you're not sure what to get. It's small but the staff makes you feel like family while dining there.“

“A spectacular 5-star mofongo, there are some things that are not as good but generally very delicious. The environment is deceiving, the worker is super good. The wait time for food can vary but usually does not take more than 10-15. A fairly inexpensive place, since 40 dollars can eat two people including two sodas and dessert, but of course that depends on what your order is. Thank you for reading my review, have a good afternoon/night/day🫶🏼“

“I loved grilled chicken as it was very well cooked, juicy and just right amount of seasoning, not too greasy. Perfectly fit to my palate. So I might be willing to go for chicken again.

However, pork mofongo was painfully salty. I think mofongo itself was very well executed with garlic flavor in its mashed plaintain, but the pork meat mixed inside seemed to be the faulty one for overwhelmingly salty flavor. I don’t think I would be willing to take anything that is pork related from this restaurant, even if it were ever provided to me free.

It was one of those unsual experiences where I loved one menu so much but hated the other menu so bad at the same time.“

“From the moment you arrive in this place team give you an excellent feeling. Very friendly waiters, it is a friendly restaurant to pass time with your friends or with your date. tasty cuisine, specialist chef, decent pay and excellent service. Warmly recommended.“

“One of the best Spanish restaurant in Jersey City“

“This latin American restaurant was easy to pick up from and the owner made my plate herself. She asked me what i wanted to eat & there was a lot of food left over. They had steak, fish, beef and chicken, 5 different rices and sides. I chose roasted chicken vegetables rice and she threw in some extra! The food was flavorful and made with love“

“Hey I have to tell you about this fantastic Dominican food place in Jersey City. Seriously, it's one of the best. Been there a bunch for lunch, they don't skimp on the portions. The ladies running it super sweet too. Definitely worth dropping by when you get a chance. The food and music will totally win you over, promise.“

“delicia de comida dominicana“

“Being from Paterson, it’s very easy for me to tell if a Dominican food joint is authentic. This place is definitely authentic Dominican food. Love their res guisada. I make sure to order from here from my job at least once or twice a week as I work in an adjacent office. The owner is very nice. Great find in Journal Square.“

“EDITED REVIEW:They aren't closed! The phone may have been janky, but the empanadas are still delicious! I was able to just drive up this week and saw they are indeed still open, so I am revising my review to account for their tasty eats. I finally got my birria empanadas, and I'm pleased. :)Initial Review:I placed an order online 2 weeks ago, but when I went to pick it up the place was completely closed. I called and called some more but no one ever picked up the phone. Now the phone is disconnected. I think it's safe to say I'm not getting those empanadas. :(The order online option is still totally active too which feels a bit scammy to me.“
