Dominican Restaurants near Linden, NJ

“The people here are so super kind and attentive!!! The service is so good. The decor inside is so nice and they even have an outdoor area to sit. The pork is so super juicy, but I forgot to take a picture so here's a lasagna I got from there aswell. I'd recommend to try the pastelitos aswell they're super cheap, filling, and yummy.“

“It was amazing and the service was fast“

“Acho que não estamos falando da mesma.Meson Tropical!! Essa ficava em Vila Isabel no Rio.de Janeiro !! e já fechou !Era uma casa de festas !! mto bonita !!“

“It was amazing food was fire🔥🔥🔥“

“Food was tasty and fresh! Nice neighborhood spot to check out, good for takeout or you want a simple lunch/dinner with your loved ones. I tried paella, chicharron, pernil, maduros, and their tres leches and tiramisu all so so yummy Customer service was good as well, they were welcoming and had personality which is always a plus. I was being big and just kept ordering and ordering stuff, I walked out with enough food for 4 but everything came out to under $80 in this economy is a steal!!!“

“Made reservations at this restaurant for lunch after a funeral for 23 people. We pre-ordered a buffet style lunch. The food was delicious. The chef even came out to serve and make sure we were OK.
Cons: the food was not on steam tables, only sitting on tables, so it got cold fast.
The restrooms needed a good scrubbing.
It was a small restaurant.
Parking lot was small.
Overall a good experience. The food was delicious and service was great.“

“Great food!!! Definitely recommend“

“La comida es muy deliciosa,fresca,“

“Me encanto la comida y buen trato al cliente“

“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 :)“

“The gyros!!! And try the specials“

“Incredible food on N Broad St! The stewed beef over yellow rice is deeply savory and fall-apart tender, paired with perfectly sweet, caramelized maduros. Massive portions, authentic Latin flavor, and unbeatable comfort food in Elizabeth. A solid 10/10!“

“One of the best latin restaurants i been to of its kind. The service is just where it begins , all of the servers make you literally feel like you’re at home. Then to make it even better the food is AMAZING! Always fresh and never have tried something I didn’t like. Great place!“

“la mejor comida dominicana de area“

“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“

“my absolute favorite spot to get small little snacks! i love love love their empanadas and papa rellenas. the ladies working here are really nice, parking is somewhat easy to find. i always order to go and it’s in and out super quick. def recommend“

“I’ve been searching for a good Spanish food location in Staten Island and haven’t really found a good one until now.

This place is excellent. We tried a couple things the chicken legs with rice, pernil with rice and beans, maduros, and everything came out great. Flavorful, not dry, and delicious.

Can’t wait to go back to try the oxtail! Oh and it’s definitely fairly priced!“

“Delicious Latin food in town.“

“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 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!“

“Excelente!! Otro negocio para el desarrollo de actividades en la región.“

“Muy buena comida y agradable ambiente me gusto“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“My first time eating from here. I got 2 family combos. I called to pick up my order and the customer service on the phone was professional and so was in person. The place is clean, smells good and the food absolutely delicious!!! Thank you for being here , I will be a return customer !!!!!“

“I visited Bachata y Merengue Restaurant and would rate it 3/5 stars.

The food was okay, but I think it could definitely be better. My boyfriend ordered the meatballs, and they were too salty. The spaghetti was bland and needed more flavor. I ordered the rice and chicken, which were decent, but I would give them a 6/10 overall.

The restaurant itself felt very quiet and empty. There wasn’t any music playing, which made the atmosphere feel less inviting. I also noticed there were no desserts available, and the refrigerator looked mostly empty with very few drink options.

The buffet is small and offers mostly basic dishes, so there isn’t a lot of variety to choose from.

Overall, it wasn’t a bad experience, but I think the food, atmosphere, and menu selection could all be improved.“

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

“I love coming here! It's super eccentric and there are several unique paintings of the city (made by local artists and are for sale)! 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.“

“Si buen lugar acojedor y familiar“

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

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“buenoooo bueenooooo ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Beautiful place, nice to clients and a variety of Dominican Food tu supiste 🇩🇴🇩🇴“

“If you’re looking for clean, fresh food that won’t drain your wallet, this spot is a great choice. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the staff are always welcoming. It can get pretty busy since it’s popular, but the wait is definitely worth it. Only thing missing would be fresh juices, adding those would take it to the next level.“

“From the first moment you arrive in this restaurant the stuff gives you a great feeling. Very friendly stuff, it is a kind restaurant to hang out with buddies or with your date. tasty meals, talented chef de cuisine, reasonable pay and attentive service. Highly recommended.“

“Very good atmosphere. The food is phenomenal and the beer is ice cold . Highly recommend this place for anyone who is trying to have a good time. The hostess was very welcoming and willing to help. The music choice is very good brings good energy to the establishment.“

“Gran calidad y la excepcional atención“

“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 !“

“My sister ordered a full tray of arroz con gandules, maduros, and pollo guisado for my nephew's birthday. Everything was excellent. I will definitely come here in person in the future. Everything was amazing.“

“I had a great experience here. The food was fresh, flavorful, and tasted like authentic Dominican home cooking. The portions were generous, everything was seasoned perfectly, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was clean, and my order came out quickly. If you’re looking for delicious Dominican food at a good price, I definitely recommend giving this place a try.“

“I gotta say, this is some of, if not the best dominican style fried food, I’ve tasted in nj/ny area. Everything was flavorful, you can tell it’s top quality products and, that frying oil gets changed often, I can tell just by the smell. Thanks to the chef and everyone involved in the process. Definitely worth a visit go and check it out.“

“Delicioso sabor dominicano en NJ.“
