Dominican Restaurants in Jersey City, NJ

“I ordered dinner yesterday and came back for breakfast today. I ordered Tres Golpes (Mangu, salami, fried cheese, and fried egg) which is a Dominican breakfast, two guava y queso empanadas and a coca cola. The breakfast was very authentic and flavorful. The empanadas were good too. The staff is very attentive, greets you and takes your order as soon as you walk in. The place is very nice inside and you can grab a table to sit down and dine in if you want. The breakfast is better than the lunch and dinner in my opinion.“

“The best rice and gondolas you will ever have! The food is always so fresh, and the customer service is amazing. My family and I absolutely love eating here. Everything is delicious, and the staff always make us feel welcome. Definitely one of our favorite places to eat!“

“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“

“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“

“This is a quintessential bodega style restaurant. This is a fine Dominican eatery featuring Spanish style cuisine with a Caribbean flare. The portions were ample and piping hot. I would recommend you give this family owed restaurant a visit you are guaranteed to return“

“I’ve become a regular at this spot, especially for breakfast. The food is consistently delicious and authentic—you can tell it’s made with care. They have a great variety of dishes on the menu, so there’s always something new to try if you want to branch out from the classics.

What to expect:

* The Food: Authentic flavors and very generous portions.
* The Price: Highly reasonably priced. It’s one of the best values in the area for the quality you get.
* The Service: The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit a pleasant experience.

I mostly come for the morning menu, but I occasionally stop in for dinner as well.
Overall, it's a solid, reliable neighborhood gem.“

“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.“

“The food is exceptional. I had the guandules guisado with white rice and fried pork chops with the fried sweet plantain and an order of their potato salad. I felt like I was back at my grandmas house back in the 🇩🇴 the food an: service is top notch.“

“I had the privilege of stumbling upon this restaurant on a Friday afternoon. To be honest, I was blown away by a couple of things. First, the soup is outstanding. Second, the service is the best within a 10-mile radius, and that’s mainly because of one person: the bartender. Karla is the best in many ways but her smile and effort to make sure I was just ok and smiling was the best. She is by far one of the best service bartenders in the area. Not only did she brighten my day, but she also enhances the entire experience with her smile and exceptional service. If you are lost or even lucky enough to be on this block I dare you to have the best day and ten star experience.. Thank you K and you are all welcome ..“

“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🫶🏼“

“One of the best Spanish restaurant in Jersey City“

“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.“

“Amazing Dominican food place around the McGinley Square area.

Everything we ordered was delicious: the pork belly was crispy and well-seasoned, and the pork ribs were juicy and tender. The food is definitely worth its relatively cheap price, given the massive portions they give. It is also nice that they open quite early in the morning when it might be a little challenging to find places to get a meal.“

“This was amazing. The lady in the counter was the best. I told her i’m all the way from Sweden and never tried Dominican food, and she told me what i should get. This food was the best i’ve ever eaten. They didn’t skimp on the portions either. 10/10, well fed and happy!“

“I came in almost at closing time so the food was not fresh, so will give the food 4/5 stars. But the veggies were delicious. The tilapia as well. The fried chicken too. The oven roasted chicken I wish had been well done which it wasn’t. Servers were friendly. Service was quick. There was enough sitting space.“

“Suggestions for your business.
Your food is very salty, if you're able to improve the recipes or just add a bit less salt, I feel like it'll help a lot. You also have such a huge location, huge doors and windows, but zero pictures or advertisements of your food. Some photos, something written, or some kind of display I feel that can only help. Best wishes.“
