Spanish Restaurants near Prospect Park, NJ

“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 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.“

“This is one of my fav spots. Today I went for breakfast/lunch with one of my friend and we had an amazing experience like always. Beatriz was our waitress and she WAS SOOO AMAZING. If you want a great service ask for her. THANK YOU BEATRIZ <3“

“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
OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPROVEMENT: the space is very small and fills up quickly“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Enjoyed the many different Tapas we tried out 😋“

“I love their food I highly recommended“

“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!“

“The place is nice, it's a shame it's not a restaurant ?, but OK we came to leave a great comment because it deserves it, it's a nice and clean place, you have many souvenirs from Colombia at a good price in addition to all the things they sell pre-cooked (arepas, empanadas, pandebonos, salads, arroz de leche, chili, hogao) all of that is great ?the chorizo ​​is crazy, made by its owner, it is a HIT, they sell it to eat at the moment and pre-cooked and the better the better and a 10 more to the good comments is the LECHONA really is spectacular, the flavor, fatty, all the ingredients are just right and the skin is super crunchy, they informed us that they prepare it on Saturdays at noon, so you know...and They also make it for special dates in trays of 10 and 20 servings.
We are happy to have visited them and enjoyed the food and the excellent service of their employees.
Listen to how crunchy the pig's skin is and the quantity and prices are super reasonable, congratulations guys, you do it very well.“

“I absolutely love this place I work in the same building as the daughter of this restaurant and she is a bright and shining star of a person the mother and the cook of the restaurant is beautiful wonderful personality and makes great food I recommend this restaurant to anybody who's looking for a home feeling fresh food fulfilling and tasteful restaurant Gourmet Express is one of my favorite restaurants you guys are the best“

“Yummy yummy.Great for when you forget to take the meal your wife cook for you to work.They have pineapples watermelons and other fruits on the go perfect for when you're just done with the gym.They also do catering which is on point plenty to choose from and they'll make whatever you want.I definitely recommend this place it's great for people like me that don't have time to make a meal so instead of eating boring McDonald's and all that other garbage around that area stop by check them out and if you like home cook meals then this is the spot. You're in and out within 10 minutes tops. You tried the rest now try the best. Always love to support small businesses especially that put time and energy into their meals and don't do small portions like most places you will get a lot of meat for your buck. I'd like to let you people know that I honestly enjoyed the food you guys cooked and always recommend them to my friends I am usually in Lodi so I take a drive down to Hackensack just so I can get the delicious meals that they prepare. I know I may be boring but my favorite one is chicken franchise "chicken with lemon" ?It is on point and I feel like I could eat that 100 times a day LOL. All right enough of me rambling just wanted to let you guys know that this is Justin certified“

“I'm passing by here to invite you to this place, the best food in Pasaia, something like yours, everything is clean and tidy, the owner is very considerate, I like the atmosphere, all the food is good, she is a very professional chef, she makes a difference in her dishes and something like her home, I love you!?❤️?“

“We had a fantastic dinner with a party of 10, with prompt and attentive service by our server Steven. He gave us recommendations for food, and checked on our group often. The food was great as well. We chose a variety of dishes, and greatly enjoyed the guacamole, various meat dishes, and seafood dishes.“

“Food is amazing you want good Dominican food this is the place.“

“I have been coming here for a awhile. Definitely will keep going back.“

“Great hidden spot for some authentic Colombian food. They have three (3) different dishes of the typical Colombian plate: Bandeja Paisa. Also, it is a BYOB. There is parking onsite. I have not had a bad time here. Everything is delicious and the service is great. Highly recommended.“

“Venir de 🇵🇷 a NJ y no visitar La Patrona Restaurante NO LA HACE. ❤❤👏🏻👏🏻❤❤“

“Forever my favorite Dominican spot since childhood

PROS
*Pernil is fire ! - literally really good pernil

“Buena comida ? y buenas atenciones ?“

“Late post:

We went on a February weekday (Wednesday Lunch time) and the place was clean, well decorated for Valentine's. There was a good crowd and I can see that the staff were all busy doing something work related. Our waiter was attentive and although his English was limited , he still made an attempt. The food was good- Bandeja de Paisa never disappoints. I like how this dish is consistent whether I eat it at their Hackensack location or Englewood location. For the first time I tried their calamari. It was good and I like the sweet chili sauce (an homage to my Asian routes haha). Overall a good place to eat!“

“Huge portions of great food! Salads w/spectacular dressing lead to enormous, expertly-prepared steak, chicken and seafood entrees!“

“The staff at this location were very warm and welcoming. The food came out really fast. Their portions are good too. I would say a plate here is shareable between two people. I ordered the Asadito with two sides of rice and it was just enough for my cousin and I. Their drinks are good, but not strong.“

“Definitely recommend checking out this place! Booked a reservation for Tuesday night just in case it was packed. Arrived, and was glad that I made the reservation. This place was PACKED, which is a good sign if it's a packed house on a random, rainy, Tuesday night.“

“Best half of chicken I ever had very very delicious I highly recommend this restaurant the best in the tri state can’t go wrong with the half of chicken with pickled onions with oxtail gravy and rice and beans the best and its budget friendly $12“

“The food here is amazing and the price is decent. My favorite is the soup and the fried fish. There is not much parking outside because it’s on the avenue. There is space to eat inside for a small group of 4. The service in taking orders could be better, sometimes the server takes long to get the food out to customers even if you called ahead of time.“

“I come to this spot at least once a week. I wish more people knew about this place. It’s such a hidden gem and the food is amazing. I recently got obsessed with Poké bowls out of nowhere and was looking for a place in New Jersey that did them and I found this one Rutherford. The owner is super nice and hands-on and is always trying to make that atmosphere feel super welcoming. They also have some really cool snack snacks and drink drinks here other than the Poké bowls definitely would recommend.“

“We love ordering from here! Great service, good food and affordable! Large portions!“
