“So I’ve been wanting to try the food from here for a couple years now but since it was a couple towns over I always just stuck with local Spanish spots. Well my favorite spots got shut down and I decided today was the day I’d finally order and it did not disappoint!!! I ordered the following : empanada de carne (beef), rellenos de papa (stuffed potato balls), a dessert guava and cheese empanada, the arroz con gandules (yellow rice and pigeon peas) with pernil (roasted pork) and the trifongo with pernil. This all hit the spot I was hoping it would! Also friendly staff. Whoever took my order over the phone was patient and nice. She told me it would be about an hour and food got here in less than that. Will def be ordering again!“

“My wife and I are on the #eatjersey challenge to have a meal in all 564 towns of NJ. We chose Antojitos Restaurant for Irvington, our 109th town.

We went early on a summer evening after work when it wasn't too crowded. The atmosphere is one that seems to turn into more of a nightclub as the evening goes on. The music selection was great, with current reggaeton, dance, etc. The super-sized margaritas are essentially 2 drinks in 1 with a full Corona mixed in!

Food was delicious. We enjoyed Ceviche de Camarones for a starter. The Bistek encebollado & the Churrasco Ecuatoriano brought the flavors of Ecuador here to Jersey. We're lucky to have so many cuisines available in our state!

“I was at a local school and walked here for lunch after finding it on Google. The service was impeccable! I ordered the classic Dominican dish, "Tres Golpes" aka Three Hits and was super satisfied. I offered to pay but was told to eat my lunch first and deal with the bill later. I appreciated that.When I saw that the eggs were slightly runny, the young lady gladly took them back and recooked them. The place was filled with some old timers who were cracking jokes and enjoying each other's company as Jose Luis Rodriquez played in the background. One of the workers sat by me and ate his lunch. It was a really cool and laid back, old-school vibe as if I was having a meal in Santo Domingo. I will return again.“

“???????? ?? ??? ??????????? ???????!I had been longing for some pupusas in my home state ever since I had my first one at a famous by Salvadorian Americans pupuseria in Los Angeles. Since learning about El Shaday, it has not only been my favorite place to eat pupusas but also my Salvadorian girlfriend's favorite place to eat pupusas! She claims she prefers the Pupusas here because they are prepared to the point where some chicharron and queso are leaking out and crisping up, as opposed to other Salvadorian restaurants in Central New Jersey. She appreciates the pupusas' greasiness and the plenty of stuffing inside. In addition to their delicious pupusas, I also like their tamales—both the chicken and the elote tamales! My other Salvadorian friend, who is not a local, says their traditional breakfasts are delicious and make him miss his home country.“

“good chicken but no chicken sandwich no rice and the lady that attended me was mad rude“

“The food and portions are really good. Even the owner has an attitude it really didn’t bother me that much. A costumer gave us free drinks and I was really happy. I would give this place a try.

Dietary restrictions: Halal“

Vegetarian options: A few vegetarian appetizers, black bean burger(super delicious), some vegetarian side dishes! My boyfriend is a vegetarian and he loves the vegetarian options here! He loves vegetables and cheese and feels there is enough of a variety for him here! ?“

“The chicken Patacon tasted good the few times I had it!
This is my go to spot for patacones I ordered it without lettuce because I cant eat lettuce ,but they replaced it for cabbage and it was still good .no complaints .Thank You ?“

“The food was a big portion and delicious! There is a variety of food. The service was excellent! This restaurant has its own parking lot around the corner. It’s not very obvious how to get to the parking lot. I Will return here if I’m in “

“We cannot thank Angie and her wonderful staff enough for my sister's bridal shower! Angie and everyone were very attentive to our wants and needs in making this the best bridal shower for my sister Natalie. From the food to the decor, Angie's was the perfect place to host our party.

When arriving, we had very minimal setup to finish on our end, as Angie's decorated perfectly to our taste, so elegant and clean, and cannot thank them enough for even going out of their way to move the display refrigerator out of our space for maximum room.

I could gush all day about the amazing work Angie and her team did, thank you for making Natalie's bridal shower a smash hit and a beautiful memory!“

“I'm from out of town so I was really excited to try some of the local food spots in this area and this place did not disappoint. There was a bit of a language barrier but the staff was very helpful and offered me a menu in English. I ordered the salmon and I also had the spare ribs to go. Listen..... the food was amazing the drinks are very good. The bartender very beautiful and helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for good food. Good music . Overall a great experience. 5 star for sure“

“Great food. The pork I had was on another level of good. I wish I knew the name of it. The rice was a bit dry, but we did come in at the end of the day and had the buffet. My wife really enjoyed her chicken stew with noodles. I used the tortillas like it was my job to clean that plate. The tamarind juice makes me want to learn how to make that drink. If I'm in the area, I would definitely go back. It was Labor Day, and they were one of the only spots open.“

“Muy rico todo, yninse siente como en casa- los sabores superiores ricos y buena atención“

“Excelente servicio se los Recomiendo“
