Me tomé un chance ya que fue en Facebook y sabemos que cualquiera cosa puede suceder y valió la pena. Ellos hacen delivery a NJ a un costo additional. Definitivamente vuelvo a ordenar. Ordené de yuca con pollo y plátano con pollo. Me llegaron 2 de yuca con pernil y también estaban delicioso!“

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

“Yesterday, we made a brief stop to grab a quick bite, but following a conversation with the owner of this notable establishment, we opted to sit down and savor the cuisine. The setting felt like stepping into our grandmother's kitchen, with the mofongo boasting a crispy exterior and a soft, moist interior, paired with a side of beef broth that complemented it remarkably well. The fried offerings were delectable without being greasy. The crab rice was truly exceptional, presented in a crab shell for added drama. The culinary experience and customer service, provided by the staff and the owner, were outstanding. We felt at home, surrounded by exceptional Puerto Rican hospitality. As natives of Connecticut, we would willingly drive two and a half hours to dine there again.“

“I would've given it 5 Stars because we had a great time with the fabulous DJ spins. Fun! I had arroz con pollo which was very good and had the coconut flan which did not taste the coconut and want as good as I would think. We had an issue with the waitresses way of attending the table. Not friendly at all and tried to charge us $16 for a drink that stayed $14 on the menu. I thought it was an error until she said that drink has 4 liquors,. I explained that it didn't matter if there were 10 liquors in the drink, when your menu states differently that's what you charge. Hope the manager or owner has a talk with her to be friendlier. Also no coffee which is weird being that it's Latin.“

“Buen servicio, Deliciosa comida, Buen ambiente para disfrutar en familia y amigos“

“Anything on the menu is authentic Puerto Rican food and is absolutely delicious. Just remember to bring cash, because they don’t take plastic. 😎💟🇵🇷“

“my favorite is the prosecutor ! but everything is great ! very cool guys there !“

“is like puerto rico good food“

“I got a cheesesteak and the beef empanadas and it was so fresh and delicious. The cheesesteak was better than the cheesesteak I had in Philly. The empanadas are really the best, I had to read the reviews first before getting them but definitely try the empanadas. They just taste so juicy and crunchy and bomb.“

“This place has earned my repeated business. The kitchen delivered more than I imagined. The look of this place is incredible. The employees displayed friendliness and menu expertise. After my recent relocation, finding this place was a pleasant surprise.“

“The servers are attentive and the kitchen delivers quality. Nothing here hides behind heavy sauces. The rating scale should extend for places like this. The employees deliver outstanding customer support. The entire experience left me wanting nothing more.“

“The people here remember the human element of hospitality. They provide extra effort here. Remarkable personalized attention. LA ISLA WILLIAMSBURG uses ingredients you can taste the difference in. This spot impressed me deeply and I'm planning to return!“

“very small spot but food was on point and would recommend it to anyone this is real puerto rican food“

“The variety and flavor of the vegan breakfast, lunch, smoothies, coffees are amazing. This restaurant is in walking distance from many hotels. Located in a cool historical art deco building. The staff is friendly and attentive. The food is fresh, and the place has such a cool vibe.“

“Since the most rated diners were like a 30 minute walk from Hoboken’s train station I would definitely recommend this place if you need something quick and nearby. I love Hispanic food, but this food was perfect! I got their breakfast French toast and my sister got their pancakes. I swear these typical sweet/bread type breakfast foods are not my thing yet the way they made them tasted so different and flavorful, for me this was unique. There Cuban empanadas are very savory, especially with the sauces they provide. My only critique is that lemonade, as it’s very bitter bc it had lime and it’s not sweet at all. The lemonade is $7.30 with card, and my meal was $9.99. Our server was very sweet, I would recommend coming here to have sweet/savory options met here. Also to me breakfast here is very affordable because with me and my sisters (3 people) our bill came to $56 with card, so most places in Hoboken are pricey but this place can offer what you need at an affordable price.“

“We hadn't been here in a while. Looked forward. Start positive: White rice, red beans, and arroz con gandules, very good. However, on a Friday evening (7ish) , there was only 1 server for the entire section. It was not crowded. Empty tables in our section.We placed our orders right away with drinks and an appetizer. We waited more than 30 minutes for our drinks and appetizer. Appetizer never arrived, but our main courses (both the same) did. The fried pork chops were overly cooked - dried excessively. They were more like fried pork chunks. Difficult to eat. Knife had a difficult time cutting the meat. Margarita was subpar at best. Management needs to step up. I am a strong supporter of local restaurants, especially Puerto Rican/Latino establishments. This restaurant is an East Harlem icon. Overall: disappointed.“

“Chef Monique & her team provide a culinary experience for your soul! The food we catered (Mac & cheese, greens & cabbage mix, along with jerk salmon) were all delicious with the perfect amount of heat. The dishes were beautifully presented for us upon pick-up to warm easily for our gathering with specific warming instructions to prevent drying out. Our family appreciated the hands that prepared our feast. Chef Mo goes out of her way to make sure details are met with a smile! I would highly recommend everything on the menu.
Thanks Chef Mo & your Team! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽“

“Absolutely terrible costumer service, a friend and I went in to get some food and we were asking questions and the workers were giving us attitude and ignoring us. I've also noticed a roach on the pizza, This place needs to be shut down. They should not be in business because of the way they be talking to costumers and being rude and nasty. We are not coming here ever again.“

“The food was incredibly delicious and lots of great selections. It's a hot food bar so there is no waiting. I even was surprised to find something I never tried from PR. Only thing missing are actual seats to eat at the dinning counter. There are just the stubs for the seat“

“My dining experience here was simply perfect. They provide welcoming attention in a relaxed setting. The staff has called me by name since my initial visit and stays consistently attentive. Very authentic. I expect to visit this restaurant again.“
