“Second time eating here Food was excellent plenty of flavor super authentic. I had pernil with yuca fries and maduros . Chicken and pork tacos with arroz con gandules and fries.Also had some chicken tacos they were good , husband wasn't feeling the sauce that was on top . But overall taste, portion and price was really great . Its not as fast as the other spots but was worth the little extra time. Will definitely stop by again.“

“I’m Guatemalan and rarely get to eat and enjoy the yummy dishes from guatemala and I’ve heard a lot about this place , my cousin took me! And omg
We
Had the breakfast with the carne asada ! In love!! I’m so ready to go more often and try out more
Of the other dishes! 😋“

“Las Esperanza’s Restaurant serves delicious and well prepared Dominican food. I like to order the baked chicken with rice and beans. Sometimes I order a side of yuca (cassava) as an additional side. This makes for a good hearty lunch under 10 dollars.
The service is quick, I generally order to go to be able to eat at Liberty park or at my desk at work.“

“Great food and price BUT watch when you pay with card! I was once charged $23 tip on a $14 food order even though I had paid CASH TIP! when I called about it it seems she didn't understand the problem. I let it go because I really like them and they work hard.“

“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.“

“My wife and I went in for a quick breakfast sandwich (Bacon, egg and cheese, coffee, and a natural juice - tamarindo) and everything tasted amazing. The staff is very friendly and even customize the sandwiches for us. We would definitely go back and recommend as well ?“

“Everything served at this restaurant is amazing. My father has been taking use there for years. I go every Wednesday for the Sango de Cameron, and ceviche. Prices are way more than reasonable for the quality of the food that’s prepared for you. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for an awesome meal, ease on the pockets, and more importantly cleanliness, and great hospitality.“

“I can’t really speak to the service or atmosphere because I have only ordered for delivery. However I must say that this is the best food in the area, I have been trying different restaurants over the past year and everywhere in the area gives mediocre or comes up short. I can confidently say that the food here is really good! It is definitely a must try.“

“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!“

“Great find for some authentic Ecuadorian cuisine!“

“Been here for 7 years now and they always serve me and my friends well. Sometimes they take a bit to get the food but other times it's fairly quick. End of the day the food is great though and that's all that matters (unless you're in a hurry?). I've eaten here for breakfast and lunch and the people have been nothing but welcoming.“

“Quick food service, Beef stew was amazing with white rice. The place was not packed when I went, but as I was halfway with my meal it was starting to get packed. Good prices, great food.

Parking: It a hit and miss being it's on the main avenue of the shopping district. But don't let that deter you from going and enjoying a great homemade style meal.“

“BEST BANANA KING! I come in here ALL the time and I'm never disappointed! Today, I believe the manager recommended a strawberry shake with coconut and it was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I normally always just get plain strawberry, but I will definitely NOT be going back after this recommendation!! Thanks to the amazing staff “

“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.“

“Food is good but I see a decline in service and potions. They cut down on their portions. I got stew chicken and rice which came with 2 small pieces of chicken. I asked the girl for another piece and she charged me an additional $1.50. The ladies that works there only speaks Spanish and have to ask the one that speaks English to translate all the time. Pls hire someone which great customer service skills that speaks English.“

“Came here and had Tostones with Bistec encebollado (steak and onions) and a bowl of mixed salad. All was good. Just felt that since the cooking area is not blocked off from the dining area, you go home smelling just like greasy food. But overall not bad.“
