“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.“

The food amazing (we had a chipotle chicken, a Philly cheesesteak, and a pulled pork empanada; in addition yellow rice and black bean and a cherry empanada for desert). Would recommend this restaurant 100%. Open on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday it’s truly a treat for the tastebuds.“

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.“

“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.“

“This is a new find for me, and wow! I'm hooked in their skirt steak. Perfect seasoned and tender. I've had the chicken soup at lunch and it's just like an old Latin, Caribbean grandmas recipe. Highly recommend this hidden gem in Hackensack!“

“Buena comida ? y buenas atenciones ?“

“I love ordering from here on weekends! They have a solid account with the eat24 app, which makes ordering really easy. My favorite dish is the pernil (roasted pork), but the res guisada (beef stew) is also delicious. The food is just as good as homemade. Oh, and that banana shake!!. Delicious.“

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

“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.“

“I love rice and beans good portions I got with beef real beef unlike Chinese joints the price point right now for me fantastic I will definitely be a regular I mean come on real food price on point compared to fast food joints same and it's delicious 😋 👌“

“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!“

“Mateo was an amazing and attentive server! He introduced himself to every single person in our party and was able to remember all of our orders from the top of his head, without any mistakes for when we actually received the food, which was extremely impressive. The food (I got the Carne Asada which was flavorful) and ambiance were all great and I would highly recommend this place to everyone!“

“This place is amazing and the food is amazing too. But last night the service was poor. The waiter took our Order and he kept forgetting just about everything we asked him to bring. Finally at the end he had us waiting for a good 30 minutes for our check. After going there many times this was the first time but it was annoying vent son was falling asleep at the table. I will go back but won’t deal with that waiter.“

“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.“

“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 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.“
