“Just bought empanadas and rice at the Pearl River farmers market. So delicious!“

“Absolutely love this coffee shop. The vibe is always great, the coffee is consistently amazing, and the people make it even better. Huge shoutout to Nick and Jay for being some of the nicest and most welcoming people around. They always bring such good energy and make every visit better. You can tell they genuinely care about the customers and the experience probably the most fired interaction Ive ever had ordering coffee. Easily one of my favorite spots“

“Thanks the empanadas are the best“

“Went to the brand new Houston location and things are a bit rocky with staffing and supplies but I want to brag on your employee CAMILLA ! We came from NC and after visiting Puerto Rico several times I was so excited for this experience! She was so patient with us! Answered all our questions with a very helpful and cheerful attitude even tho she was drowning in drink orders! With only one other helper, she never showed any frustration and provided excellent above and beyond customer service! The cashier with her was brand new and super sweet as well! Camilla even gave me a hug when we left! She made my whole morning! And gave us the absolute best breakfast recommendation as well! Thank u so much Camilla for your grace and kindness this morning. U had no idea that my Morning started out so crappy, and your sweet personality and loving spirit really turned my day around and the tres leches latte was AMAZING 🙌🏼🩷💯 yall go see them and be patient …..it’s worth the wait ❤️ side note… the whole place is decorated beautifully! Love the swings ✅“

“From the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely cared for. This was my first time visiting, and the experience completely exceeded my expectations. The food and drinks were absolutely amazing, but what truly stood out was the level of attention and thoughtfulness we received. Being noticed and having the spelling of my name acknowledged made me feel seen and valued as a guest.

Ariana deserves special recognition—she went above and beyond by customizing both coquito lattes to accommodate my sister’s and my health issues, *without sacrificing flavor at all*. They were hands-down some of the best drinks we’ve had. Her knowledge, care, and exceptional customer service made this experience unforgettable. If anyone deserves a promotion, it’s Ariana!

Will be coming back my next visit to the city“

“Very nice place! Their espresso comes in a wooden cup, and they have the unique offering of rum-infused coffee beans. I found this espresso shot a little under-extracted and sour, but the fragrance and tactile wooden cup enhanced the experience.“

“I love they empanadas it’s the best in town LITERALLY 🔥🔥“

“the best I've had in years“

“Great food and solid coffee at a good value. I especially loved the fresh squeezed Orange Juice! The staff was also super friendly and efficient. I was very impressed with how clean and sanitary the establishment was. I highly recommend!!“

“It’s because of Brahim, the incredible food, drinks, and ambiance that I’m happy to give five stars. Even though my friend and I waited 15 minutes before we finally flagged a server to come to our table, it was so quickly made up by Brahim’s service, charm, and attention. Clearly there must have been a miscommunication regarding who was servicing our table because once Brahim took over, we had our food in drinks in a matter of a few MINUTES! Not to mention, kindness, charm, and attentiveness. It’s such a vibe with the tropical decor, and the food was so delicious. I will be coming back!“

“Best authentic Spanish food in town! The chicharon is soooooooo good and crispy. The empanadas are deadass the biggest and best I ever had. I order from here all the time but try to get it early because there always super busy. Never had a bad experience here and the staff is always on point. Friendly and always looking to go the extra mile when it comes to preparing your order. ❤️Keep up the amazing work guys ??“

“Amazing experience! The staff was absolutely 10/10 – super friendly, attentive, and professional. The food was also 10/10, perfectly cooked steak and everything tasted incredible. The atmosphere was great and the service made the whole evening even better. Definitely coming back again!“

“Excellent food, warm, inviting decor, friendly staff.“

“EDITED REVIEW:They aren't closed! The phone may have been janky, but the empanadas are still delicious! I was able to just drive up this week and saw they are indeed still open, so I am revising my review to account for their tasty eats. I finally got my birria empanadas, and I'm pleased. :)Initial Review:I placed an order online 2 weeks ago, but when I went to pick it up the place was completely closed. I called and called some more but no one ever picked up the phone. Now the phone is disconnected. I think it's safe to say I'm not getting those empanadas. :(The order online option is still totally active too which feels a bit scammy to me.“

“I have visited multiple times and highly recommend this place. The food is authentic Ecuadorian homemade cuisine, and it is truly one of the best Ecuadorian restaurants in NJ. Give it a try! The owners and staff are exceptionally kind. Experience: 10/10.“

“Okay nothing was wrong with the coffee it was a 10/10 iced horchata latte with oat milk and the coffee kicked!
But the cafe itself needs a bit of housecleaning. So many flies just hovering inside and the cafe needs some bg music and might help with overall liveliness of the decor.“

“I had the pleasure to eat at Konoz. It is a clean and neat restaurant. The owner is friendly and pleasant. I asked him what he recommended and I placed the order to eat inside. The meat was tender and tasty, the salad was a good portion and trifongo was delicious. I chatted briefly with the owner. It’s a place I would go again when in the area.“

“Kevin digale al chef no poner mucha sal a las lentejas please.“

“Fantastic eats! Mmmmm-mmmmm good!“

“Went at 3pm on a Saturday and it wasn’t too packed. The food was good. Service wasn’t the best. Server didn’t come to ask for our order until we flagged her down. Once we ordered we got our order in a reasonable time. At some point the table next to us was extremely loud which was annoying. Overall we enjoyed the food.“

“We truly enjoyed every drop. Gone in 60 seconds!! 😋“

“El Ranchero is my favorite taqueria in the bayshore. The tacos are the best in the area and the mole is delicious. The food is fresh and the service is fantastic. I recommend this to anyone! A wonderful place to practice my spanish! El Ranchero es mi taquería favorita. Los tacos son los mejores de la zona y el mole es delicioso. La comida es fresca y el servicio es fantástico. ¡Yo recomiendo esto a cualquiera!“

“My one stop shop! Anytime I am in the area I make sure to always swing by for my juice or a snack. You have all the options you could desire while still keeping it nice and healthy. From the amazing avocado toast (never gets old my fav) , to a Cesar wrap and oh let’s not forget their Açaí Bowls!!!! I highly recommend to swing by, their menu is always growing and just gets better with time.“

“I'm loving the new growth of my hometown Jersey City. So many businesses opening up and I'm loving it. Congrats to all the business owners and future business owners. 🙏❤️🙏 I can't wait to come back to visit.“

“I used to eat here before with old management and now the ambient and our waiter was so nice, he suggested as the steak chopped and it was fabulous we ate twice! We loved the specials rice ball staffed with broccoli! Now its became one of my favourite spot here for Italian and Argentinian food!“

“As a fat man and a traveler, I've had pastries from all over the world. And these are as good as Ive had anywhere. And the eggs were cooked perfectly on my sandwich. And no one ever cooks eggs perfectly. 5 Stars!“

“Taste just like my Argentinian friend cooked it!) 💛💛💛 Great stuff“

“Carlos Mexican Kitchen in Little Falls is hands down the best Mexican restaurant around — no contest. From the moment the food hits the table, you know everything is made fresh, authentic, and with serious care. The dishes are bursting with flavor and come in generous portions, so you never leave hungry.

The salsa dips alone are worth the visit— bold, vibrant, and completely addictive. And the corn quesadilla is to die for. Perfectly prepared, packed with flavor, and the kind of dish you find yourself craving again the next day.

What makes this place truly special is how the food transports you straight to a local home in the heart of Mexico. It’s warm, authentic, and full of soul. Nothing feels commercial or rushed — just real Mexican cooking done right.

Also a huge plus: there are several great vegetarian options, which are just as thoughtfully prepared and delicious.

If you love authentic Mexican food, incredible salsa, and meals that feel homemade in the best possible way, Carlos Mexican Kitchen is an absolute must.“

“Super awesome lunch spot! Came in after seeing the meal deals they have, they’ve got some great options like the 2 or 3 empanada with a drink deals, I personally got the sandwich meal with the drink and fries. Super good price! I got the turkey blt and it was so delicious, and the fries were also super yummy! The man at the front who took my order and brought my food was extremely nice and welcoming!

Very cozy inside, they have a good little seating arrangement and a TV playing random news or whatever is put on for entertainment. Great vibe!

Great food, great service, and great atmosphere! Definitely try this place for a good lunch!“
