“We have been going to El Cid for over 30 years and went back for the first time since they reopened. I’m happy to say that it was as great as it was in the past. The Prime Rib, sirloin and sangria were delicious and we can’t wait to go back!“

“my favorite is the prosecutor ! but everything is great ! very cool guys there !“

“The El Toke restaurant has the greatest Creole food, the best service, no waste, and everything is very exquisite; you won't regret it. The best patimongo and sancocho are too amazing 😍. If you're not sure where to eat as grandma cooks, I suggest it.“

“The food was absolutely amazing! The service was bar none! Highly recommend 👌🏽👍🏽✅“

“If you’re looking for authentic flavor, this is it. The food tastes exactly like home cooking. The rotisserie chicken is juicy and seasoned perfectly, but the beans are the best I've had in the area. This is my new favorite spot for a real Puerto Rican and Dominican meal!“

“Muy rica la comida! Cómo en nuestro país Ecuador 🇪🇨“

“This little gem is located across from A&A deli in Lincoln Park NJ. The staff amazing. The food amazing (we had a chipotle chicken, a Philly cheesesteak, and a pulled pork empanada; in addition yellow rice and black bean and a cherry empanada for desert). Would recommend this restaurant 100%. Open on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday it’s truly a treat for the tastebuds.“

“I called this morning at 6am to inquire how long it would take them to make 3 dozen empanadas, for a work event, they said ten mi utes! They saved my day. The empanadas were a hit at work! They were delicious! I bought chicken, beef and cheese! They’re affordable too! Gracias! 🙏🏽 I’ll be buying from here again.“

“De verdad es la mejor comida con mucha calidad y su personal trata a todos como familia las muchachas son tan servíciales que me siento como si estuviera en mi propia casa gracias a todos por sus amabilidades“

Crispy non greasy moist chicken, tasty huge chicken wraps and the largest fresh shrimp wraps with fresh vegetables that I have ever seen. Give this local establishment a chance you won’t be disappointed.“

“If you want to live the experience of a “corrientazo” restaurant in NJ, this is the place! Typical Colombian flavor. The roasts and soups are SPECTACULAR! Warm attention from Sandra and Marcela. Excellent prices

“great food and cool place to eat“

“Wow. Just went to this place. It was delicious. Nice people and service. Clean. I had the Colombian eggs with Chicharron and rice. Sooooo good!!! I’ll be back.“

“Our table of 4 loved everything from start to finish. My chorizos were the best I’ve ever eaten (including Spain). Dinner companion Eileen orders the shrimp in green sauce every time and is in heaven. Husband Phil’s vegetarian paella and portobello mushroom appetizer were delicious as were the table’s side dishes of green beans and carrots (perfectly cooked) and potato chips (yum). Massive entrees of which we all took portions home to enjoy as leftovers. Expert service by real waiters who knew everything and met our every dining need.“

“The place opens at 8am as shown on maps. The decor and atmosphere is very family friendly and cozy. Took my mom to eat and truly enjoyed the meal the restaurant offers variety of foods and delicious ingredients and it's the best place to consider to eat“

“large menus. delicious food recomiend the restaurant 100%“

“es el mejor restaurante y la comida es super rica y es muy económico todo 100 recomendando 😁“

“The lady and her husband are extremely nice. I go here almost everyday. There's a board that shows the menu if you're new and she'll be sure to point you to the second board nearby (Grilled/fried food). There IS an ATM inside the store as they only accept cash. The food is extremely good too, thumbs up for them!“

“I had the garlic chicken.Really good, but that’s beside the point. Service is extremely bad. Especially the wait time. 1/10. Waiter has a weird attitude, for no reason. Not even a hi or hello, just checked in once the whole time. Wait time felt like hours. Honestly, food is delicious but the waiter was dry and it honestly offended me. Anyway, not recommended.“

“Excited to eat at Mi Familia Restaurant. The food is Authentic and flavorful! I've been coming here for so many years. As you walk in your are greeted immediately, the staff are very attentive. I was there last week ordered white rice with beans oxtail and barbeque pork spare ribs. Food was delicious!!! Not to mention this is where I get my churrasco (skirt steak) with tostones and freshly squeeze orange juice. Stop by Mi Familia Restaurant and enjoy some Dominican Soul Food!!“

“(Translated by Google) Excellent customer service, diverse variety of dishes on the menu, you will also enjoy a very pleasant and cozy atmosphere(Original)Excelente servicio al cliente, diversa variedad de platos en el menú además disfrutarás de un ambiente muy agradable y acogedor“

“Very nice place for lunch. Great variety, and the food tastes very good. Rather cheap also. You pay by weight.The only thing I don't like much is that they only have plastic disposable cutlery. But despite this, we go there often for lunch with colleagues.“

“Ordered a couple dishes from here on door dash for the first time and I am impressed! The food was absolutely delicious, not one complaint about any of it. I didn’t know what to expect because the prices are so low and you just don’t see that anymore, the chicken combo was only $9. The portions are generous and even though some of it is deep fried NONE of it is greasy. Will definitely stop by next time to try more dishes.“

“This is the best Spanish food in Newark . Small , quiet neighborhood place with outstanding food and professional service. the waiter turning is zero. The same waiters at the restaurant for many years. They got me to try the goat and it was excellent........even though I'm not a fan of goat.“

“Love the delicious food 🥘“

“The chicharones at this location is absolutely the best around the area. My first time there they made sure I was well taken care of. They even went above and beyond by cooking new pieces of pork for me so that they can be fresh. The pieces of pork was just right with the right amount of meat and fat. Usually places I’ve tried had so much fat that I don’t get to enjoy the chicharones but not this location.“

“Great service, excellent cuisine.“

“Great atmosphere, great service, great prices.“

“Great food and amazing coffee“

“Lunch service was nice. However my brother ordered a Paella and there was hardly any rice in it. Given the fact the waiter insisted it would feed 3 I'm glad he ordered his solo cause it was barely enough for him. I ordered a chicken breast and chorizo lunch special. It was good. Aside from the spicy flavors it was great. The service was fantastic. It's no wonder they've been around for a long time. My brother recommended this place since he's been coming here a long time. I'm definitely opened to give it another try.“

“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.“

“Food is good, I have been coming to this restaurant for years. I do however recommend that you ask for the price of drinks prior to ordering especially if it’s not during happy hour. Drinks are way too expensive. The pricese are not listed on the menu One glass of Sangria $19.50. I was caught of guard with that one , imagine my surprise when I received my bill seeing that sangria was $39 for two glasses. Had I known that I would have just drank water and bought my own sangria for less at the local liquor store or went to a different bar. Also; there are a few things on the menu with no prices listed. Just ask for the price before ordering . I feel that the prices for the food such as lamb chops and seafoods are fair, but the drinks. Nope; Sorry not sorry. $19.50 for one glass of sangria is out right ridiculous and unnecessary. Other than the overpriced drink; everything else is good.“

“Just tried the emenadas (pollo, beef, queso). They were excellent. Will be back for more food.“

“Don't believe the bad reviews here. The food is great. I had the chicken. Got 4 drumsticks with yellow rice and beans. Amazing. Just don't order empanadas they don't know how to makes those. Other then that food is amazing. Me and my girl went there and now I went today again for lunch at work 5 of us all ordered stuff and everyone at work said it was the best. The chicken falls right off the bone and the rice is cooked perfectly. Highly recommend this place“

“The food is delicious and the service is great!“

“I’ve eaten here two times. The ladies behind the bar are extremely friendly and attentive. The meals are tasty with generous portions. I’m not a huge fan of French fries, but these are so good and taste homemade! The salad was delicious and the garlic pork chops were excellent. My friend had grilled salmon and enjoyed it. The prices are affordable and they even have a $4 glass of house wine that they fill to the rim; you can’t beat it! My only complaint is that it is extremely warm in there. Other than that, I highly recommend.“

“I love their food I highly recommended“

“Buena comida latina“
