Dominican Restaurants in Newark, NJ

“Great food!!! Definitely recommend“

“Only 4 tables and 12 seats but maaaan this food is the bomb. I grew up eating stews and rice for lunch in far away lands and this hits the spot. I think I inhaled my giant plate in 2 min. We'll seasoned, everything tasted good (carne, rice, red beans, maduros). Will come back when Im in the area again. Thank you to polite staff too for supporting my Spanish :)“

“I got married on 5/25/25 and the very next day we were having a BBQ. With no time to cook I decided to cater. I ordered from Caribbean Station and it was amazing. It was fresh and so delicious, everyone talked about the food. Since then I have catered my Labor Day BBQ and next will be my daughter’s baby shower. They are the best!“

“I visited Bachata y Merengue Restaurant and would rate it 3/5 stars.

The food was okay, but I think it could definitely be better. My boyfriend ordered the meatballs, and they were too salty. The spaghetti was bland and needed more flavor. I ordered the rice and chicken, which were decent, but I would give them a 6/10 overall.

The restaurant itself felt very quiet and empty. There wasn’t any music playing, which made the atmosphere feel less inviting. I also noticed there were no desserts available, and the refrigerator looked mostly empty with very few drink options.

The buffet is small and offers mostly basic dishes, so there isn’t a lot of variety to choose from.

Overall, it wasn’t a bad experience, but I think the food, atmosphere, and menu selection could all be improved.“

“The gyros!!! And try the specials“

“I love coming here! It's super eccentric and there are several unique paintings of the city (made by local artists and are for sale)! The food comes quick, and even when it's super busy there is never a long wait for a table. I have had a few different breakfast and lunch items here, and they never disappoint.“

“When I tell you that not only is the food delicious they also have a heart of Gold!!! I hired them to cator my daughters baby shower. Unfortunately 2 days before our event my daughter had to undergo an emergency csection. They didn’t hesitate to refund me the money we paid even though they were clearly at a loss. The compassion and the understanding they delivered to my family and I is priceless!! Tu Pais restaurant… you guys rock!!! Thank you for your service!! Is business like yours who makes this world a better place!!!“

“I frequent this unique restaurant from time to time since I like the good air that is unique to this restaurant. The crew is awfuly helpful and well trained. The service is remarkablywonderfully efficient. Most important, the food they serve is perfect. I ate there more than once and I was always satisfied. The cost is fair. I highly recommend this place to to everybody.“

“Best Dominican Food!!! Chicharon are a most try.“

“I gotta say, this is some of, if not the best dominican style fried food, I’ve tasted in nj/ny area. Everything was flavorful, you can tell it’s top quality products and, that frying oil gets changed often, I can tell just by the smell. Thanks to the chef and everyone involved in the process. Definitely worth a visit go and check it out.“

“When I'm the mood for latino food (Spanish/Dominican/Puerto Rican) I have to hit this fabulous 👌 local spot for comfort food,I had my blood sausage (morcillas)and a pastelle de cerdo (pork filled tamale style but made from plantain/green banana boiled in plantain leaf and wax paper), highly recommend these at this spot,extremely delicious. Plus they many other daily specials on the steam table,and dishes alacarte plus many choices of fried empanadas,alcapurias,cheese dogs ,what they call (frituras).
I also ordered a dozen frozen pastelles to take home ,were a slight expensive but willing to pay to have them for when in the mood ,cost $48 for a dozen.
The place has been remodeled about 2 years ago ,quite cute and very clean, food is very good, always hits the spot.“

“La atención al cliente, la limpieza y el menú . Te sirven como tu quieras“

“OMG Dios mío que rico!!!!!! I love me some Dominican food everything on menu so tasty it feel like I’m in Dominican Republic. Definitely coming back for some more chicken and spaghetti. The desserts are good love the tres leche and carrot cake so happy I stop by after work. 10/10“

“We stayed at a hotel nearby and wanted the typical Dominican (tres golpe) breakfast so I found this restaurant online.
The food was great and service was 5/5. They had a lot of variety, my husband had the chicken soup and it was delicious too! Definitely stop by.“

“Really nice atmosphere. It’s a small location but the relationship between customer and employee is great. The food was pretty good and there’s opportunities for cheap food as well. I spent 20 bucks so a sizeable plate and a side of maduros. My food wasn’t aesthetically pleasing because I like having my food stacked, but the food was great.“

“DELICIOUS!!! it's hasn't been a time that I went and the food hasn't been bad. It's like they pray over this food. Everything on this place is so good. Eggplant potato salad pernil yuca arroz con gandules... now this is authentic.“

“(Translated by Google) Like a delicious pigeon peas moro and a fried pork meat that they were for. Finger licking 10 out of 10 very tasty(Original)Como un moro de gandule delicioso y una cárnica de cerdo frita que estaban para. Achularse los dedos 10 de 10 muy rico“

“Food is really good and there is a large variety of it to choose from. the only thing that I didn't care for was the fried chicken.. a little too much coating.. but otherwise the portions are plentiful and the food is very good...The bar jumps on the weekend (never been)..but is very lively on the weekend..“
