“I have gotten a few different empanadas since working in the neighborhood from Angie's and they are so good!! I tried the chicken stew yesterday, which I asked for with yellow rice, black beans, and plantains and it did not disappoint. It was flavorful, filling, and all cooked perfectly. The prices aren't too bad too. The only thing I would ask for is better containers- I ordered takeout and the liquid from the chicken stew almost spilled out of the container all over my outfit! Otherwise I will be getting this at least once a week!!“
“Fantastic restaurant, really I can’t get enough of this place. Great food , service and music, will be going back for sure . Nice location with outdoor and indoor seating. The food is a nice mixture of different Hispanic and Latin culture.PS: BYOB !!!!!“
“I absolutely fell in LOVEE with this place !!It’s super cutee with the traditional Japanese seating and the parasols hanging from the ceilingThe food is PHENOMENAL!! Their fusion makes everything deliciousI can get fresh rolls with a twist as well as empanada or tuna tartare with tostones !! You can’t beat it and not to mention I loved everything I ordered !! Absolutely will be coming back“
“Fun little place. I expected the floral decor to be in the whole restaurant but it was centered in a specific area next to the bar. The tables had touch lighting that can change color depending on the mood. The hostess and wait staff had so much energy and smiles that were contagious. The menu items have an Asian flair especially since of the apps and fried rice (chaufa) offering. I got the pacha sour, which is a pisco sour with chicha morada and lomo saltado with tender steak pieces. Others got the arroz con mariscos that had prawns, squid and mussels. The lomo quesadillas were good too and the guacamole was good with it. The side of mashed potatoe was creamy and so buttery. For dessert, we got the flan and tres leches cake. Everything was delicious and is worth coming back to try other dishes.“
“I've lived in this area for almost a decade, but had not yet found Latin food that could compare to what I had growing up in Union City and when I lived in the city and visited Washington Heights. Until now, that is! Surrender Cafe recently became available on DoorDash. I had never heard of it, but was drawn by the great reviews, tempting photos of the food, and many of my favorites on a menu with lots of my favorites. This is the first time I've ever ordered from a place, and then immediately again the next day. I especially love that so many of their dishes are available in smaller portions. Want to try the mofongo? Here's the mofonguitos! And meat-only portions can be had of just about everything in small, medium or large sizes, which made it easy for me to sample the beef and chicken guisado, red and black beans, pernil, so I ordered the bistec ecebollado for my main dish. Everything, absolutely everything is delicious, and arrived well packaged. Oh - and I almost forgot - the tres leches! Absolutely top notch. Not only some of the best Latin food I've ever had, but some of the best comfort food I've ever had, period.“
“We cannot return to the equator but finding this delight in NJ Plainfield makes me remember the days of family reunions, the chips, the seasoning, the ajísito de pepa, something very delicious and recommended.Parking: Parking with free spaceKid-friendliness: Quiet atmosphere“
“I come to this restaurant almost everyday since I moved down the block. The food is amazing, very affordable in comparison to most places nowadays, and no matter who is at the register they are sooo pleasant. I absolutely love this place, and if more people knew about it the line would be out the door. Espectacular!“
“Thank you for the excellent service Meybelin, very attentive and helpful, the food was delicious, the service very excellent, I love this restaurant and that is why I visit it frequently ??? the person who served me was super friendly, he deserves a raise ?“
“The food taste delicious, You can eat relax ,the music is perfect not loud like others places that u can even talk. Just perfect for everyone that want to eat good food delicious and a nice atmosphere. The owner is very nice . I recommend this place ?, u will love it “
“This diner's service is always great. I think there is so much to choose from it can be intimidating. When it was time to pay the check, I noticed their new pay system had already added a 15% tip to the bill. I think tipping should ALWAYS be the discretion of the patron. Because my server was great, I didn't have a problem paying the 15%. I wonder if her tip is shared. FYI, you can change the tip amount at the register, but ya'll need to pay attention.Food at this diner is always yummy. The staff is great and at my visit they were on top of everything. There is someone ready to clear your plate if you're done. Our server was attentive. Making sure if we needed anything else during our meal.Kid-friendliness: They have paper placemats for kids to doodle while waiting for their meal.“
“This was our first time trying Pollo Campero in the U.S. and was really blown away on how delicious it taste like back home in Guatemala.The Yuca fries are to die for. They are soft, moist, and crispy on the outside.The chicken was delicious and juicy.Our order came out as expected. The chicken was extra fresh out the oil.The staff here were very welcoming and helpful.The restaurant is clean, especially the two bathrooms (you will need a code from the cashier to unlock the bathroom doors), and quiet.This is located in a busy area but there is parking at the back of the restaurant!I highly recommend stopping here to grab some fresh chicken to eat!“
“Our waiter (John) and the manger (Emerson) were so nice! We came to celebrate my friend’s birthday on a Wednesday night . The ambiance and music was so liveky. The cocktails were so yummy and the appetizers were so yummy! Thank you guys ! Great vibes !“
“This restaurant is a hole in the wall and not well known of besides the locals. This has to be the best place I've been to for Chicharron, the pork is perfectly cooked, crackly and crispy pork skin and juicy tender meat. The flavor and crunch is perfectly enjoyed by my family with some tortillas and salsa picante. Some Chicharron tacos. Besides the Chicharron we have also gotten other food but I would only return again for that Chicharron.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is floor level and has no steps, perfect for wheelchair access.“
“Today I accidentally stopped there for coffee on my way to the train station. Coffee has a really different flavor when combined with hot milk. I highly recommend the coffee, it outclasses Starbucks and this type of place in terms of taste and price .“
“Everything there is just so fresh and I can’t get over how juicy and flavorful the pastelillo are. For $1 you’d think you’d be getting a small empty empanada... Nope! They’re big and stuffed with either beef, cheese, chicken (my favorite), egg, pizza etc. honestly the food 5/5, freshness 5/5, atmosphere 5/5, and the price is insanely fair. Only thing I wished is if they had the red country club soda and that’s it.“
“I had my car service in the Sansone toyota and realized there a restaurant in the 2nd floor of the service center and it was amazing ? the ? was calming the food was very good ? and chipper. you get more for your $. comfy atmosphere I will go again just to injoy the food and atmosphere “
“Nancy at the avenel food truck is AMAZING. She is such a good energy person, makes great conversation. I’ve tried the cuban sandwich, all the empanadas, a LOT of food here. This place is great and I will come here just to talk to Nancy sometimes! Good place to bring your family, order ahead of time to not wait!“
“I ordered online delivery from this restaurant for the first time and was not disappointed.I had Pupusas and Steamed Cassava.The Pupusas were absolutely tasty andThe cassava ( yucca) was tender but it lacked the grilled onions Im used to when having cassava in that fashion.But overall, Good food.“
“A local favorite place of mine. I love their happy hour menu and times. They're very affordable and a great place to meet up with friends or have an inexpensive date. The ambiance is nice with the grass walls and good music. The service is good too for the most part. Only thing I will say is the drinks can be a bit inconsistent sometimes.“
“Food came out fast and was delicious. Portions were more than sufficient. Very flavorful and just was a truly satisfying meal. Our waitress was friendly and the service was excellent. We will definitely be going back…soon. Big thanks to my friend, Ed, for recommending this place.Vegetarian options: Plenty of choices“
“Food was delicious and reasonable for someone on a budget. Was greeted and seated right away upon entering the restaurant. Booth seating was very uncomfortable and tight, need to upgrade those old seats. Service was okay nothing special basic.“
“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.“
“Miguel is awesome!! He made sure we had superb service and felt well taken care of. We don’t get to go in dates much, but he definitely made it worthy going out tonight!! Ask for Miguel!! You won’t regret it!Parking: Super easy and convenient.“
“Went for lunch to this place, and it was great. I had the daily special, and it came with Caldo de Pata and Guatita as the main dish and loved it. It even included soda. Since then, I've ordered takeout, and it has always been great. Look forward to trying other dishes from the menu soon!!“
“I walking into this restaurant looking for a quick but fresh lunch. The space was very clean and orderly. The staff is attentive and personable. I ordered a burrito with pernil, corn salsa, pickled red onions and cheese. As a side, I got the chickpea and cucumber salad. I really have to say I was very impressed with the freshness and flavor of the food without being over seasoned. Next time I will remember to write a review before I devour all the food. ?“
