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“

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 😋“

La Victoria was very accommodating with a last minute change of plans and was very helpful and generous with preparation suggestions and follow up. We will certainly be ordering from them again. Muchas Gracias!“

We chose a variety of dishes, and greatly enjoyed the guacamole, various meat dishes, and seafood dishes.“

“Forever my favorite Dominican spot since childhood

PROS
*Pernil is fire ! - literally really good pernil
*Can order food for the holidays here would highly recommend.
*My fam loved their pernil, moro de guandules and empanadas 🤤
*I think is the best one in town 🤫

Cons
*Maybe that is a small place so eating In there can get a little hectic.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Buena comida ? y buenas atenciones ?“

“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.“

“The food was very delicious, the first time I tried this place, very friendly and the delivery was on time ❤️Thank you D cosita Rica Restaurant

“It actually met my food expectations and when I entered it made me feel at home, especially because of my Chapina people at heart. The only thing I didn't like and this goes to the owner, we ordered some chuchitos and with a plastic fork, the soft drinks in plastic and with a plastic straw, please compatriots, let's cut down on plastic, we are not comfortable and even less lazy, let's help the planet and Reduce plastic, it helps the restaurant look a little taller and more sustainable.“

“When we lived nearby, my family and I would frequently visit this eatery. We now make an effort to visit this restaurant at least once when we are all in New Jersey. The cuisine is classic Dominican goodness. I love the stew chicken, roast chicken, ribs, chicken and pigeon peas and red beans. All are delicious. My Mom loves the octopus salad.“

“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.“
