“HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Wow what great fresh food . My wife and I were lucky enough to have meet the owner of this amazing place when she was dropping off her food for a large event . After sampling her food we were truly impressed on the quality and flavor of her food . Since then we usually order food weekly. The portions are generous and always full of delicious meals.

Kid-friendliness: Family owned businesses and their heart and soul are in their food .“

“It was amazing food was fire🔥🔥🔥“

“I love everything in there menu!! a They serve us so much food for cheap! yessss“

“Always a pleasure ordering from here. Food is deliciously well seasoned and cooked. From tender meats to variety of foods for the picky ones; all fresh! The portions are extremely generous and fairly priced. The lunch size foods can feed up to three people. Excellent choice for those that don’t wanna cook, feed the fam and have some food to take for next day. I always recommend this place 🔥“

“Great spot for a quick lunch, food on display is absolutely fresh and seasoned well. All for a reasonable price, each day is different meal variety, but customer service and speed is the same each time I come here. I definitely recommend coming here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.“

“Only 4 tables and 12 seats but maaaan this food is the bomb. I grew up eating stews and rice for lunch in far away lands and this hits the spot. I think I inhaled my giant plate in 2 min. We'll seasoned, everything tasted good (carne, rice, red beans, maduros). Will come back when Im in the area again. Thank you to polite staff too for supporting my Spanish :)“

“Me encanto la comida y buen trato al cliente“

“Very good food very good vibe’s one of the best places en Perth amboy“

“Everybody is so nice and quick to serve you. The food is absolutely amazing at a really good price.. all the food is made in advance and placed on burners behind the glass you chose everything you wish to have and enjoy… I’d love to come every day if I could“

“la mejor comida dominicana de area“

“My husband & I found El Tablon by accident the other day. We love the other Dominican restaurant on Forest Ave, so we wanted to compare. The restaurant is small, but very nice and we were able to get served immediately. The people were very accommodating (my husband always wants extra beans with his rice). We had the oxtails, which were delicious and less expensive than the other place. They also seem to be available every day, unlike the other restaurant. We shared a meal, which was plenty for the two of us. We plan to go back because they have a great selection and we want to try the other items on the menu.“

“Muy buena comida y agradable ambiente me gusto“

“Seriously the best place! Reminds me of home! The empanadas are the best!!!!“

“Ever since I moved to the Island, good take out food is hard to find. But this place here, their food was delicious!!! I got chicken with arroz con gandules y frijoles rojos. My children loved it, it's a new place for me to come to. For less than 20$ it's worth it.“

“Is a traditional latino spot,to eat good,dominican specialties.“

“The best chimi I’ve had. The meat is exceptionally seasoned, you can taste the oregano and tartness from the lime or vinegar, and it’s perfect on salt. Whoever thought on putting it on a brioche bun, it’s a genius.

Don’t sleep on the picadera too! The pork carne salada is so good and they put wasakaka sauce all over the meat. The tostones are not drowned in oil and are so crispy.

The only shame is that I live 45 minutes away and can’t eat here more often. But whenever I’m in Perth Amboy, I grab a chimi from here.“

“Best place to eat cuajito. Their arroz con gandules had such a great flavor. I loved it! I am going back this weekend for my Anniversary. Woo hoo!“

“I had a wonderful experience here! I ordered the white rice with baked chicken and beans — everything was cooked perfectly with great flavor. The environment is warm and welcoming, making it a must-visit spot. What made it even more special was the uplifting atmosphere filled with Christian music at its finest. A place where you can enjoy both delicious food and a peaceful, joyful setting. Highly recommended!“

“Stopped here out of curiosity and we were not disappointed. The cheapest and yummiest Dominican food Ive had in NJ so far!

We got 2 lunches of white rice and stew chicken, 2 orders of beans and an order of sweet plantains. Total: $22! They serve SOOOO much food, we had left overs. My plate in the photo is after me eating quite a bit already. We then went back and got 2 tres leches, each were $3.50. Very yummy, I highly recommend this restaurant. In regards to customer service they were so sweet, professional and attentive. I wish this business lots of good fortune and will spread the word. They are amazing.“

“Street parking but it's plentiful for the area so you won't have any issues.

The interior is beautiful with lots of photo opporunities inside.

Their cappuccino is just right. Guava pastry is good. They have empanadas and other patry items like cupcakes, brownies, macarons, etc.

Worth a stop if you have time and are in the area.

They make cakes for special occasions as well.“

“First time here and the service was outstanding! The young lady was patient and so pleasant. The food looked beautiful and the presentation was excellent! My food was delicious I don’t eat meat so I had two types of rice, vegetables and both beans they had. My daughter had their quarter chicken with rice and beans. The prices are dirt cheap which is surprising considering the economy. I’ll return for sure!!!“

“El pan de sal o conocido en Puebla como las famosas monas son mis favoritas! Muy buenas! recomiendo este lugar 100%!! 🙏🏼apoyen!!“

“Food is affordable, large portions and very delicious

Unfortunately the people in the area aka the ones who’s lives matter should be the only concern.

The fatigue is real with these people all over America but an angel must be watching over this restaurant“

“We were so hungry after work and school. Ended my work day at 8:30pm and was craving Spanish food. Did the research and found this restaurant. Super happy with food and even happier with the service. I had to order something affordable for the family and I scored! A BIG order in an aluminum TRAY and comes with a 2 liter. All for 24.00!!!!!!! The ladies in there were super nice and professional and the food was flavorful and on point! Will definitely be back!“

The food comes quick, and even when it's super busy there is never a long wait for a table. I have had a few different breakfast and lunch items here, and they never disappoint.“

Great portions and a huge selection of provisions and meats, hot and cold sides! Great service and recommended by the folks at the store near the laundromaut.“

“Phenomenal food and service. Small relaxed restaurant in the AAA plaza (for those who get routed to a house behind the actual location). Everything we had was incredible, from the spinach & artichoke dip, to the Hawaiian pizza and even the smokehouse burger. All of it was handcrafted and full of all the right flavor.“

“Aquí siempre tienen comida riquísima. El mangu con los tres golpes…RICO! Morro con lechón asado y plátanos maduros…RICO!

This place always offers delicious Dominican food. I’ve never been disappointed with any of the options they have to choose from. If you need a recommendation, try the mangu con los tres golpes (mashed plantains with the three hits: red onions, fried cheese, and salami.) This is a typical Dominican dish and it’s guaranteed to leave you satisfied.“

“Really good place really good food really nice place. I didn’t end up getting the food that day that I ordered from there cause the restaurant was so packed and even though the people that worked, there were really nice the guest that they had there wasn’t too welcoming to black folks, but not the restaurants faultreally great service was willing to meet me outside and I could tell by the way the food looking smell it was it would’ve been so good“

“Delicioso sabor dominicano en NJ.“

“I went here (I think they are under new management because they changed the name to D'Mayal) because I was going to a pot luck and didn't have time to cook my own dish. I ordered a tray of arroz con gandules, and I wanted to order a full pernil, but there wasn't time to make one and the only pernil that was made was what they were serving. So rather than turning me away, the owner said that what he could do was cut up a full pernil into chunks, and make me a full pernil in carne frita style. I was impressed by the way they were able to solve the problem and roll with the punches! The food came out great, and tasted home made! Everyone at the pot lunch loved it! I highly recommend you go here and order some take out!“

“We were on our way out of Perth Amboy after a church service. It was late and we were driving around looking for something good to eat before heading back to south Jersey! Everything was closed! Finally we drive by this place that looked open! I’m so glad we stopped by! From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed by the young woman up front who walked us through the menu since our spanish is “no good looking” . She took her time , we didn’t feel rushed and she even gave us her personal recommendations! I chose the mofongo with chicharron and my cousin got the plantain sandwich with chicken! *chefs kiss * 10/10 . The staff were alll so kind to us . The gentleman , (not sure if he was the owner) , he talked with us for a few minutes and we really felt comfortable and welcomed! I’ve already shared this place with my family and friends! Can’t wait to return !“

“Best Spanish food on Staten Island. The Mofongo kills!!!

Parking: I went on sunday.. the bar next door had football so parking was rough. Any other time it's much easier to park... but worth it no matter where you park... Lowes across the street has a huge parking lot!“

“Gran calidad y la excepcional atención“

“We stayed at a hotel nearby and wanted the typical Dominican (tres golpe) breakfast so I found this restaurant online.
The food was great and service was 5/5. They had a lot of variety, my husband had the chicken soup and it was delicious too! Definitely stop by.“

“Dominican food, and what a treat! Large selection a la cantina (pick & mix), lots of stables and a joyful mood. I think i heard someone singing somewhere...But again; the food. Big flavours, hearty chunks of meat, crunchy salads, spiced rice. What a feast to the senses.A rare 5-star!“

“OMG Dios mío que rico!!!!!! I love me some Dominican food everything on menu so tasty it feel like I’m in Dominican Republic. Definitely coming back for some more chicken and spaghetti. The desserts are good love the tres leche and carrot cake so happy I stop by after work. 10/10“
