Dominican Restaurants near North Bergen, NJ

“Yeah I got that at the Dominican Restaurant, where at?? Inside the Delta Gas station, sounds sus??

It’s definitely going to raise eyebrows, but let me tell you, the place looks fabulous you walk into a standard gas station convenience store, turn right it’s a wrapped up beautiful fully running restaurant.

Food portions are MASSIVE! A platter with pernil, congris $15 , 2 people can eat from this- or at the very least you’ll have leftovers- unless you’re bougie . The Pollo Guisado was juicy and tender not rock chicken, penil was good. The beans are absolutely scrumptious. We legit got 3 platters, extra rice beans, extra maduro, guineo and a morir soñando (freshly made to order!) check didn’t go past $60 .

Plenty of parking, restaurant is clean and bright, service was pleasant- will return!“

“This hole in the wall serves tasty Dominican staples: rice & beans, pollo guisado, pernil, they usually also have a few soups on deck. The food is well-seasoned and the prices are very reasonable; super friendly service. Excellent homemade juices well: jugo de avena and morir soñando of course! I come here often and it never disappoints.“

“great people and music. if you want a quiet place , stay home 🏡“

“Excellent!“

“Always clean, friendly and best of all such yummy food!! Soups are great!! Pastelon Delicious!! Breakfast…sooo good!“

“Amazing food and service.“

“nos comimos unos ricos cubanos, pernil pernil muy rico, jamón queso y huevo queso derretido y bien cocinado, mondongo riquísimos lo recomiendo 100 porciento“

“Great food and great service. The food reminds me of home and is reasonably priced. We keep coming back for the ox tail stew, ribs, beef steak, porkchops, dumplings and the boneless chicharonnes de pollo. Most meals are served with white or yellow rice and beans or vegetables. If you want to try something different, they have the beef liver and squid ink fried rice which remind me of squid ink Paella. The combination meals are a great option to try out different dishes. The staff and owners always greet you with a warm welcome.“

“This place is a hidden gem! My friend and I stopped by for lunch before a concert at CitiField and it was the best decision. The food was AMAZING, everyone there was so friendly and the environment felt like home. It was an extremely delicious and affordable lunch. Definitely returning and bringing more friends and family next time“

“i had the Pastelillos cheese, yellow rice and the queso frito. all very good! they also give you sauce with the Pastelillos which was also very good. very affordable and homey in there. you feel very welcomed. i would come again. staff is very friendly.“

“Everything is great here!“

“The oxtail soup is the reason I keep coming back. It’s well cooked, generous portion, and satisfying. Service can run slow, but it seems to be a family-run spot with a hole-in-the-wall charm, so it comes with the territory and is worth the wait.“

“such a great gem in the heart of Brooklyn. cocktails are great. nice happy hour.“

“we used them for our wedding, 60 people flowed through nice and easy and everyone moved their food. the mac and cheese balls were absolutely amazing but all the food was.“

“First time visiting this Dominican restaurant I made a reservation. They were in touch with me in every moment to let me know about my reservation. The food was amazing and the drinks were great too. It’s a cozy small place with lots of friendly staff who were checking in if I needed anything else. Will definitely come visit this restaurant again from a NJ customer. THANK YOU“

“They Got Some Banging Empanadas And Some Good Milkshakes. They Also Have The Good Dominican Food Chimichurri, Mangu, Yaroa, Etc..“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional service from Yanerys!

I had the pleasure of having lunch at Mary’s Restaurant, and the best part of my experience was the incredible service provided by Yanerys. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile and made to feel truly welcome. Their attention to detail, kindness, and professionalism were beyond impressive.

Yanerys was very attentive! Yanerys is a true treasure for this restaurant.

If you are eating at Mary’s, I recommend ordering Yanerys—you won’t be disappointed! We will definitely return, thanks to your exceptional service.“

“I sincerely have to say that this place has a truly unique and exquisite flavor. But it’s not just about the food the staff makes you feel like family. They welcome you, remember you, greet you warmly, and always make you feel at home.

I honestly give this place a 1000 out of 100! Excellent food, great prices, and amazing service.

If you’re looking for delicious food, great value, and outstanding hospitality, El Verdadero Rancho is the place to go. Highly recommended!“

It was better than the big advertised restaurants. If you want a real delicious meal and some great music while you eat, go to this place. It's a hidden gem.“

“I had a great time here. We were served by Carina, and she was awesome. Very attentive, she brought our order out quickly. The food was delicious. It's nice to go to a place that serves well and is affordable. The atmosphere was peaceful, and the music was good, not too loud so you could still hear your waiter. Overall, it was an amazing experience in the neighborhood.“

“Karaoke night was great But need it more space for dancing“

She put us on to the best items on the menu and we walked out completely full, satisfied and beyond happy. I’ll be posting a Reel and video on TikTok (@radiantcin).

“The best Dominican food in the area“

“Delicious, fresh, & cheap- what’s not to love? I had the habichuelas con dulce to start & was not disappointed, it is really tasty. One of the employees there also let me sample other things which were equally as tasty. I’d definitely be back if I’m in the area.“

“I went today and omg it was great. Delicious fresh empanadas. I highly recommend empanada city ❤️“

“We had a delicious breakfast here. Passing through the neighborhood and wanted some hot food, not breakfast sandwiches or pastries. I had mangu, sausage, and egg. My husband had rice and pork with a soda. Less than $20 together. The staff was friendly. Counter seating inside or.2 small.tablea outside.“

“We ordered catering for a family gathering and everyone absolutely loved the food. We had pernil, baked chicken, Moro rice, potato salad and maduros. Everything was delicious and you can tell it was cooked with love. The process of ordering the food was also easy and Auri was kind, prompt and very helpful. Highly recommended!“

“In love with this place could eat here everyday omg I dream about this place often the sauces the ribs the chicharrones omg so crispy so juicy can’t wait to have the brisket they was out when I went but most def soon will try, oh and the freaking corn bread beyond amazing“

“Everything was wonderful from the ambience , food and service . Celebrated my birthday with my family !! We all enjoyed every morsel. Thank you for all.“

“This is a little Gem in Queens. The food is delicious. 😋 Ever felt like you wanted something tasty but couldn’t figure out what? We’ll order from Lugos. Food is well seasoned, big portions, freshly made. That steak is the softest I’ve had in a long time. And it comes with a side. I choose the mashed potato which is nicely done also. Their food is banging!!! You need to try it. Thank me later. FYI This was a door dash order.“

“This place is soooo much fun weather you're going for lunch with coworkers or partying on a Friday night! It's great for friends, couples, parties, events. The food is delicious without breaking the bank and the staff is beyond courteous and helpful. 5 star, absolutely recommend!“

“I have gotten take out here 2x …..months ago.. Food was pretty good, generous portions. Service has always been great..different people each time but both ladies were very welcoming.
Love the pernil, rice.. have to try more items next time.“

“I’ve been coming to this spot for years whenever I’m craving Spanish food, and it’s always been a reliable choice.

The food tastes fresh every time, and the fried shrimp is especially good—definitely one of my favorites. I usually go for takeout during lunch, and the portions and variety (like Camarones Al Ajillo, pulled pork, and even desserts) never disappoint.

Service is quick and straightforward, and the atmosphere is decent for a casual visit.

Overall, it’s a solid place with consistent quality, and I’d happily recommend it if you’re looking for flavorful food at a reasonable price.“

“Five stars for the food and service! Everything we ate was delicious, especially the signature chicharrón, and the staff was super attentive. The vibe inside is good, though maybe just a little short of perfect. Still an amazing experience overall!“

“Food was amazing and such a home like atmosphere. Some of the best hospitality I’ve ever experienced. Cliffside park has a gem with this place. Please come visit and I HIGHLY recommend the chimi. Prices are great especially cause of inflation but the quality is insane, food is so good they let us sample so many things. I wish you guys could smell how good it smells in here too. PLEASE TRY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD IT WAS FIRE LOL.“

“Everything is good here. Simple, old-fashioned, Caribbean/Latino Classics. Excellent empanadas, good coffee, friendly service, neighborhood place, no BS. Closed Sundays. This is exactly the type of neighborhood place we all whine about missing after it’s gone. Go there now. Highly recommended.“

“The food is still delicious but the service today was definitely off. First they only made one of four orders of steak yaroa, then after waiting for another 30-45 mins we discovered that what we recieved wasn't steak but ground meat. We live in the Bronx and drove to Dyckman specifically for the steak yaroa for my birthday and was only met with disappointment. The ground meat yaroa is still very tasty but not what I went for...I will say after multiple visits back this is the first one that I've experienced this but it's not normal excusable.“

“DELICIOUS! Best mofongo & chicharron in Manhattan. Takes exactly like the one in PR that my family serves me. Everything is so flavorful and juicy and the chicharron is so incredibly crispy but still fatty. Was perfect for takeout and I’ll def be going back all the time“

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

“I ordered from two good to go, which is an app that gives you discounted meals for less at the end of the night. They gave me liver which I’m not a fan of liver, but I gave it to a friend. I got potato salad. That was delicious a soup with pork in it and vegetables, rice and beans and a vegetable dish with okra and plantains. I will try out their fried chicken soon everything was packaged very good and the place looks very clean. A+

Parking: Very busy street and hard to find parking in“

“The restaurant is so clean, the owner is so welcoming, and the food was amazing. My husband and myself loved the food. We would Definitely come back for more. Thank you for providing a great experience , and making very delicious food .“

“Excellent customer service from A to Z, thanks chef PaPi food 🥘 and drinks amazing 😉!!“

“One of the best hidden gems for authentic Dominican food. Fresh, homemade meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner at very reasonable prices. I paid around $13 for a lunch special and it was excellent. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic food without the fancy atmosphere.“

“Great food very friendly staff.“
