“I finally had the chance to have a sit down meal by myself and was not disappointed at all. 5 stars in all categories is very rare for me to give but when its perfect its deserving. My server had me scan a code for a review of his service but i lost it. I believe his name was Manuel (my apologies if i may be wrong). I was there on Tuesday about 5pm party of 1 my total was $68. I had the Mary Mar with roasted potatoes along with sangria if that helps you figure out the server. He deserves special mention for exceptional service. From my dining experience i tend to remember the level of service before i remember the meal. Servers set the tone and create the dining experience from beginning to end. It's imperative they are well trained and understand the importance of the role they play for the restaurant. The food is outstanding in taste and presentation. The atmosphere is relaxing and the place is well decorated. Thank you for the perfect dining experience.“
“The wait for food was ridiculously long. I was disappointed they give mariquitas with mojo and we had to pay for it. The food was delicious and fried fish and pork chops recommended It so much for chicken because it was dry. Overall I would return.“

“The place is very cute. It has 2 levels. The upper part is only open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.Good atmosphere, people are super friendly. They are very attentive to your needs and give you very good service.The food, as always, delicious. I really enjoy the Bandeja Paisa.It's always good to come back.“
“Do NOT go to this restaurant unless you are very hungry and want great service ?. They serve huge portions and lots of sides that are on the house. Including churros at dessert! It is a fancier restaurant and the dress code is casual to business casual. The servers and staff are at your attention constantly. Amazing restaurant, highly recommend!Parking: Very nice to have free valet!!“
“Back in Spain is how I felt being here. The grilled octopus dish were the same as what we had in Spain, soft and chewy like marshmallows. I didn't think we had the right octopus species in the US but they have it. Iberico jamon were just a few slices but definitely imported. Most importantly, the owner appreciates your business, which for any packed place like this one, is precious.“
“It was like dining in a 5 star establishment. I had the surf & turf. The jumbo shrimp.was perfectly cooked and the steak tips unbelievably great. I never had their specialty desert cake. It was an unbelievable experience, so good. The owner Jose was so friendly and made me feel like family. Overall, I highly recommend Chloes. My go to place!“
“Walk into Basque country, enjoy wonderful food experiences and atmosphere. A special place- a gem hidden in the Ironbound, where you are transported into a culinary adventure to be shared with family and friends. A formal restaurant and lively soccer bar, enjoy both and La Liga matches surrounded by true aficionados who regular there. After your first visit, there remains a constant call to return and repeat the same, again and again and again..... Enjoy“
“I just returned from Costa Rica! Three days later I ran to Tucanes for Costa Rican food! They do not disappoint! Delicious, fresh, authentic and beautifully presented is exactly how to describe my meal! In addition to scrumptious food, TucanesHas a lovely, pristine atmosphere with excellent service. Restrooms are immaculate! I love this place. I went back a week later for another wonderful experience! I am now a regular!“
“Today I ordered food for Lunch, super delicious.I recommend the broth, the corviches and the breaded chicken, it's super delicious, the house mayonnaise and spicy sauce is delicious and the portions are very large... it's totally worth it, it takes you back to our country completely.I always order from my Ubereats account and they send me little notes, this time my husband asked for it and he didn't feel that love haha“
“My new favorite place for authentic Dominican food! I can’t believe we live like 2 blocks away and never came here before. I do wish there was more seating but hey there was enough for us! The place is clean and the staff is welcoming and respectful. The food was phenomenal! I was ready to go back for dinner. I will definitely become a regular at this place. Thanks for providing such quality food.“
“My dad first put me on this restaurant by its delicious, fresh takeout food. We'd typically order octopus or whole fish. My parents decided to take us out for our birthday and it was not a disappointment. I felt like I was in Portugal without actually traveling there and it's a home away from home from the moment you walk in.Everyone ordered different entrées and each dish offered a unique, top-quality taste. If you're looking for an authentic Portuguese spot in the Hudson County area, Pic-Nic is your go-to!Vegetarian options: There is a vegetarian option available on the menu.Parking: About 11 or 12 parking spaces and street parking is very difficult given the area.Kid-friendliness: While there is no kids menu, there are few options available for children.Wheelchair accessibility: Whether parked in the lot or on the street, you can easily access the lot, entrance and seating area with a wheelchair.“
“My wife and I went in for a quick breakfast sandwich (Bacon, egg and cheese, coffee, and a natural juice - tamarindo) and everything tasted amazing. The staff is very friendly and even customize the sandwiches for us. We would definitely go back and recommend as well ?“
“Been going here for years and years , but hadn't been here in some time. The food was as good and the service was second to none, just as Id remembered. 5 star all the way.Parking: Lot is directly across the street with an attendant in it. Worry free!“
“The best Dominican food according to my boyfriend who is Dominican. I though it was great food. It was my first time here as I am not a local in this area and I have to say it was delicious 100 times better than the Dominican Restauraunt we are regulars at.“
“Check this place if you in Downtown Garfield...Stop in for a snack and drink ...I got an arepa a few chicken empanada ? that meal was delicious ......ask about the natural fuit juice .They even have espresso and real Colombian coffee ....wake u rite up ...lol .....“
“My first time here, even though I have passed by it many times before. I was looking for a place where I can order a salad at a reasonable price. Boy! This place is the place to go for the best salad in town so far. Delicious, good portion, and the best price. can’t wait to come back again and try other things on their menu. They look amazing and delicious.“
“Amazing place....the lobster tank impressive. The waiters were cute and friendly. All you can eat shrimp ? friday all day was delicious. With a Mango Mohito and mint...drink I left alittle tipsy. A definite 5 stars. Will definitely come again...a must try for all seafood lovers!!!“
“great spot in Passaic to whine down and relax with some good good, a huge monitor displaying the beautiful coastal scenery and TVs with games on in case youre missing it. service was excellent because they kept an eye on me in case i was ready to ask for something. which i didnt but i respect that attention.“
“Just visited Gourmet Express Market for the first time to order empanadas for a party. The owners are so nice and helpful. They even gave me an empanada to try and I can see why the reviews are so good. The empanada was delicious. Can’t wait to serve the rest to my family and friends tonight!!!“
“Definitely a seafood lovers destination. The wait time can be long sometimes but its well worth it. I'd rather wait for excellent food than get mediocre food on demand. The staff is awesome and so are the owners. Its always a pleasure going there to eat. See you guys real soon. (Getting hungry)“
“Stopped by for lunch today and was blown away. Aside from over a dozen fried empanadas to choose from, they had five baked varieties on display. Inside is seating for 20, a soda fountain and a small drink fridge with about 10 options. Empanada are $6 but double the size you'll find elsewhere. I got the chicharrones de cerdo bowl. Served piping hot and fresh, the pork wasn't hard but had great flavor and chew. The sauteed red onions were a nice touch on top of a bed of fluffy white rice and iconic black beans. The squeeze of lime over everything married all the flavors together giving it that zesty acidity. $15.98 and well worth it, could only finish half.It took less than 10 minutes to prepare.Parking: Better off in the back or on a side street“
“The older woman at the front counter (I forgot her name) extremely kind and helpful. There was a big lunch rush and she was apologizing for the long wait. She made all my food fresh and it was absolutely delicious. I had the beef and potato, chicken chipotle, and the apple crisp empanada and they were all fantastic. High recommend this place for any empanada lovers !“
“Great environment. Good service. The inside is nice & they have a cute outdoor space in the back. They provide complimentary bread with tomato spread. The spread is very well flavored, with a tiny bit of a kick. I would guess it’s tomatoes, olive oil, fresh pepper, fresh garlic, & a touch of salt. The ham & cheese croquetas are delicious & creamy. The tortilla española is flavorful & comes with a little bit of greens, but I drizzled the tomato spread over it for a bit more flavor. The crema catalana was delicious. I only wish it came with more strawberries. 100% returning.Vegetarian options: They offer numerous vegetarian options.“
“Came here for a repast lunch. We ordered from the regular menu. The food is good and they obviously have a happening bar vibe in the evenings. Prices are reasonable and service was good considering we were at least 20 people. There were some hits and misses on some of the dishes but overall a good experience.“
“Located right off McCarter Highway in Newark right by South Street. This Manny's is way different than the others I have visited. A big platter is still $8 and empandas are still $2. I ordered stewed chicken with rice & black beans. Chicken was juicy & falling off the bone, rice was cooked well, not over cooked as were the beans. I ate this food for 3 days as the portion size is huge. I will be back...“
“We had a BRUTAL time as a family in a clean, cozy environment. The young woman who attended us was very friendly (Claudia). And above all the delicious food!!! ☆☆☆☆☆ We even danced and everything. Anyway, thank you all for that little time! BLESSINGS ?“
“Came here for lunch and ordered the birria bowl: rice, black beans, cheese, pico de gallo, and birria meat. The birria meat was great, tasty, tender, and delicious. The combo of salsa verde and sour cream added flavor to the dish. Portion was a bit small... My gf ordered the birria taco and she felt alright with it. The place is small and cozy. However, i had better birria in queens, which biased my taste and judgement on the taste...“
“Always great food. Staff shows all effort, especially if Spanish is not your strength. The bread is amazing. Calamari were hot and fresh, and the sauce is better than at most restaurants. Vegetables are cooked well. Shish kebabs of shrimp, pork, chorizo and steak is big and tasty. The sangria is very good, red or white.“
“Awesome place! I have been coming here for over 30 years and it never disappoints! The food is amazing, the sangria is not watered down and the service is exceptional!The most recent visit was to celebrate a group of birthdays. They gave us one of the rooms which fit about 25 of us. Even though we were separated from main dining room, servers were still very attentive. The portions are larger so they are shareable. I had skirt steak that came with veggies and mashed potatoes. The steak was cooked exactly as ordered. We brought our own cakes and they sliced and served for us. We never felt rushed and stayed for over 3 hours. We got there at 3pm on a Sunday so it wasn't too crowded. I will continue coming and highly recommend!“
“Saludos a mi tía (twice removed) que trabaja aquí, y a lo otros trabajadores también, the food is pretty good, my only issue is the security at this place, there is no form of protection, the area can be pretty dangerous at times, so I am just concerned for the safety of the employees, sometimes the people that work here need help...“
“I came to Nano’s 2 times. My daughter and I went to the Nano’s in Passaic, NJ. The foods are good and the smoothie drink is very delicious! My daughter loves strawberry smoothies. The nano’s is good place. I will go over there again sometime“
“If you're in a mood for dominican authentic food and you're in jersey city this is the place to be. I love that they have a variety of food ready to eat or take out everyday. They even open in the mornings for breakfast. I had tres golpes and it was one of the greatest breakfast ever had. ?“
“Amazing whole in the wall spot. I'm puertorican, and it's hard to find a good boricua place in NJ. This place is great. The food is great, and the service is outstanding. They treat their customers like family, and the prices are good. I definitely recommend this spot!“
“I was looking for a really good pupusa spot, the only place I will go was in union city! Baby… this spot hit!! Freshly made pupusas, el curtido was delicious ? and to wash it down my cola champán!! Customer service was immaculate!! 10/10 definitely will be going back☺️oh and the place is so clean?“
“Mannys is a family owned and operated restaurant so the atmosphere is very friendly and everyone seems to know each other!! They make u feel welcomed and appreciated which is hard to find nowadays. My favorite dish is the stewed chicken w/veggie rice. The small take out box is only $7 but can easily feed 2. The large is (I believe) $9, and both come with a handful of yummy plantanos. The chicken literally melts in ur mouth and they use just the right amount of seasoning so its not too spicy for those of us who don't like spicy food!! Lunch/dinner at Mannys is always a pleasureable experience ? !!! Neighborhood isn't all that bad as other reviews mentioned, however, parking will b tricky!! Overall - ★★★★★“
“The most delicious and exquisite food I ever try of this kind : especially served with with love and care. How Sweet are the waiters. Always want to make sure you’re enjoying your favorite food. Price..!! . The best in market..!!Vegetarian options: Rice , rice and beans, yellow plantain, salads, vegetables, veggies soup, salsas,Parking: May take a little time. Depend of the day : but you always can find a good spot.Kid-friendliness: All are welcome, for sure they will have fun with the waitress!!Wheelchair accessibility: It’s easy to get in since the low level of the sidewalk and the restaurant entrance too!!“
“The hostess /waitress was very attentive and kind. There was another waiter that came by our table to check on us and served us more drinks. Love the food everyone’s dish was DELICIOUS and the service was excellent it is so worth coming here.“
“I've only been here twice, but so far so good. My only complaint is that I wish they'd open earlier. I have to be at work by 8am, so if they opened at 7am instead of later I might be able to get breakfast here too. Also, they're not very transparent with pricing. Idk how I spent $17 on a dinner for 1 person. And the second time $13.“
“What a great little spot food was yummy we had the clams in the garlic sauce to start which was nicely cooked. I then had the grilled swordfish which was juicy and yummy. Very chill environment with a pleasant and accommodating staff. Read online the ownership changed recently and wish them the best of luck the only downside was parking but one of the joys of Kearny unfortunately.“
“Love this restaurant. Sometimes we go sit at the bar and have garlic shrimp, red sangria and bread, the bread is a must!!!! I don’t think there is anything here that is not good. Everything is great! The meat is cooked to perfection, the seafood is delicious.You will spend money! But it is money well spent if you are looking for a good meal. The meals will come with family style veggies, rice and delicious house made potato chips.End your meal with a coffee drink and some amazing tiramisu.Parking: Some nights you can park your car yourself and it appears weekends they valet, this may allow for more parking!“
“I’ve eaten from here multiple times, more breakfast than lunch or dinners regardless; their food is amazing! The mangu is to die for. Will keep ordering, not sure why this place would even get one bad review. The staff is friendly and very warm.“
“First time ordering and we're happy with our selections and the prices are great too! Fried pork chop is seasoned well and not dried out, its also not breaded ( for those who like it that way). My daughter loves the chicken noodle soup, which was packed with chicken. Last but certainly not least the Fried chicken was crispy, juicy and flavorful.“
“Nice and inviting locale. Nice and attentive host, the owner makes the experience feels homie. The food is superior, the Cuban coffee real. Definitely a regular place to go and take loved ones and guests. 6 stars. Viva Cuba, Viva Latin America!“
“I recently moved to the Ironbound and needed to find myself a pizza place. Luckily, this place is only a few blocks from my apartment. It's not very big and doesn't seem to be popular for eat-in dining, but it is always busy with people getting take out. The pizza itself has rather thin crust and the sauce is great. I love their margherita pizza. If you eat there, be prepared to pay for drinks even if you get water. They only have bottled. The only down side is that because it's a small place and busy the service can be slow. Order in advance and then you can pick it up or have it delivered when you're ready to eat. I added photos of the menu for anyone who needs it!“
“As a patron of the Tenafly location, I wanted to try the Montclair locale. Parking isn't great around there but we managed. The cocktails were good. There was a grilled octopus plate served with a salad as an appetizer and it was delicious! Most of the entrees were seasoned okay but nothing stood out. One of our 5 dishes came out wrong but corrected within 5 minutes. The original dish was meant for another table and we got the correct plate quickly. Noise level was normal for a Friday night. Very nice ambiance - decor wise. Would return.“
