15 Best Latin American Restaurants in Jersey City

“You don’t find Puerto Rican food very often so I wants to try it there in the food court. They have pinchos there which is even less common. I got two chicken ones. That was probably more food than I needed so next time just one. It was pretty tasty and reminded me of Fajardo street vendors. If you do get pinchos, know it takes 15 minutes.“

“Antojao never misses 🔥 The food was fresh, packed with flavor, and the portions were great. The Tres Golpe Pernil Sandwich was incredible — the perfect mix of savory and sweet. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Jersey City!“

““Delicious food and great service, compliments to the chef!” 👨‍🍳 🙌🏽👊🔥“

“Amazing restaurant with a comfortable, warm atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and attentive, and the Latin food is absolutely delicious and full of authentic flavor. The drinks were perfectly crafted, and the desserts were outstanding—the perfect way to end the meal. Highly recommend, we’ll definitely be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 ..“

“Tienen rica comida y batidos a cualquier hora pero la picada no está buena. Tiene muchas papas francesas no tiene chicharrón. No tiene rellena. Y esta muy cara por unos pocos pedazos de pollo y carne!! They have good food and drinks at any time. However la picada is over price for some pieces of meat and chicken and lots of French fries. It’s missing pork (chicharrón) and Colombian sushi (rellena).“

“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.“

“My husband and I drove all the way from Jackson Hole Wyoming and stop by to grab a bite, Food is excelent, everything is clean and looks healthy, staff is super friendly and helpful and the taste is top notch, American and Latin American food too. We highly recomend it. They're doing a really good job.“
