“We went on a Friday night. It was quiet. Seemed like mostly family dining. Definitely feels like a nice family owned, neighborhood restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious. We had the garlic shrimp appetizer and for our entrees we had the churrasco and fried pork chop. The chimichurri sauce that came with the steak was so good I could probably drink it! I thought the prices were reasonable for the portion sizes. Will definitely be back!“

“Food is super fresh and the owner is so nice and you can tell he takes pride in his food. Never had baliada before Mi Sabor and definitely a fan!“

“The decor at this morsel of Costa Rican culture is aesthetically pleasing and if you’re in the area, this is one of the better Tico spots. We watched Costa Rica beat Paraguay in a Copa America game while eating pupusas, un Casado and Tacos Ticos and totally hit the spot. Especially since they served some salsa Lizano on the side.“

“Recommended NEW latín restaurant in Paterson.... keep going guys !!!“

“The $12 daily lunch special is a fantastic deal! According to my waiter they are under new management as of last week. I was in town, visiting from Morris County to see the nearby Labor Museum. I loved the rice, chicken, and plantain most, they were delicious. Please be cautious however because there is a 15% tip automatically applied, and they do offer a lot of extras like drinks and stuff to see if you're interested. Nevertheless I really enjoyed the place. I think would make a good first date type restaurant, or out with the family, and I felt comforrable eating alone at the bar. Although it was empty when I came on a Saturday afternoon.

Kid-friendliness: If I recall correctly, there was a kids' part of the menu.“

“buena atención y menú bariado“

They were delicious! I bought chicken, beef and cheese! They’re affordable too! Gracias! 🙏🏽 I’ll be buying from here again.“

“1st time in establishment and was very excited to try out a local Domincan Restaurant. Restaurant was very clean, and the atmosphere was reminiscent of a typical latin restaurant but feels to be more of a lunch/take out spot. Menu has your basic hot and cold sandwiches if you are not looking for something authentic. The rest of the menu has latin dishes and daily specials that are broken up into their combos small medium and family size. The portions are quite large . I ordered the pernil / salad/ and arroz con gandules ... flavor was spot on...two to three people could have honestly split the combo ... overall I would go back to try other dishes but would be sure to split the combo ...“

“It actually met my food expectations and when I entered it made me feel at home, especially because of my Chapina people at heart. The only thing I didn't like and this goes to the owner, we ordered some chuchitos and with a plastic fork, the soft drinks in plastic and with a plastic straw, please compatriots, let's cut down on plastic, we are not comfortable and even less lazy, let's help the planet and Reduce plastic, it helps the restaurant look a little taller and more sustainable.“

“We recently ordered through Uber Eats and were so impressed, we can’t wait to visit in person!

My husband was craving mofongo and fried fish. We tried the mofongo de chicharrón, which was absolutely amazing, and the mofongo de camarones, which we felt was a bit less flavorful.

My husband mentioned that the shrimp wasn’t mashed into the mofongo, which was a bit different from what he’s used to.

Personally, I love my mofongo with mashed pork and the protein on top, and I thought the mofongo tasted fantastic. The fried fish was also a highlight—well-cleaned, perfectly seasoned, and delicious. We were pleasantly surprised by how good everything was, especially since it had traveled 30 minutes to get to us. Can’t wait to try it fresh in the restaurant! Highly recommend!“

“Las Esperanza’s Restaurant serves delicious and well prepared Dominican food. I like to order the baked chicken with rice and beans. Sometimes I order a side of yuca (cassava) as an additional side. This makes for a good hearty lunch under 10 dollars.
The service is quick, I generally order to go to be able to eat at Liberty park or at my desk at work.“

“Great food and price BUT watch when you pay with card! I was once charged $23 tip on a $14 food order even though I had paid CASH TIP! when I called about it it seems she didn't understand the problem. I let it go because I really like them and they work hard.“

“Ordered a "Casado with Churrasco"The steak was cooked to perfection. Had this with a Russian salad. Nice portion and perfectly seasoned. Thought maybe it was a fluke so went back a second time. Everything was the same...perfect...again. It is an unassuming hole in the wall but wow. Can't wait to try more of the menu though I will be getting that again.“
