“Great food always order thru Door Dash when im staing out for work la comida esta 🔥🔥 oye ramona tirame por DM“

“Great food!!! Definitely recommend“

“Me encanto la comida y buen trato al cliente“

“Only 4 tables and 12 seats but maaaan this food is the bomb. I grew up eating stews and rice for lunch in far away lands and this hits the spot. I think I inhaled my giant plate in 2 min. We'll seasoned, everything tasted good (carne, rice, red beans, maduros). Will come back when Im in the area again. Thank you to polite staff too for supporting my Spanish :)“

“Incredible food on N Broad St! The stewed beef over yellow rice is deeply savory and fall-apart tender, paired with perfectly sweet, caramelized maduros. Massive portions, authentic Latin flavor, and unbeatable comfort food in Elizabeth. A solid 10/10!“

“One of the best latin restaurants i been to of its kind. The service is just where it begins , all of the servers make you literally feel like you’re at home. Then to make it even better the food is AMAZING! Always fresh and never have tried something I didn’t like. Great place!“

“The food is absolutely flavorful and incredible, with so much depth in every bite. The staff are super nice and helpful, making me feel right at home. Their natural juice is a must-try—it’s the best I’ve had!

I highly recommend the chicken stew (pollo guisado), the arroz con grandules (rice and peas), and some fried plantains to complete the experience. Don’t forget to ask for extra gravy on the rice—it takes everything to the next level!

I’ll definitely be back! 😊“

“Everybody is so nice and quick to serve you. The food is absolutely amazing at a really good price.. all the food is made in advance and placed on burners behind the glass you chose everything you wish to have and enjoy… I’d love to come every day if I could“

“my absolute favorite spot to get small little snacks! i love love love their empanadas and papa rellenas. the ladies working here are really nice, parking is somewhat easy to find. i always order to go and it’s in and out super quick. def recommend“

“Delicious Latin food in town.“

“The best chimi I’ve had. The meat is exceptionally seasoned, you can taste the oregano and tartness from the lime or vinegar, and it’s perfect on salt. Whoever thought on putting it on a brioche bun, it’s a genius.

Don’t sleep on the picadera too! The pork carne salada is so good and they put wasakaka sauce all over the meat. The tostones are not drowned in oil and are so crispy.

The only shame is that I live 45 minutes away and can’t eat here more often. But whenever I’m in Perth Amboy, I grab a chimi from here.“

“Excelente!! Otro negocio para el desarrollo de actividades en la región.“

“Very good food very good vibe’s one of the best places en Perth amboy“

“Best place to eat cuajito. Their arroz con gandules had such a great flavor. I loved it! I am going back this weekend for my Anniversary. Woo hoo!“

“El pan de sal o conocido en Puebla como las famosas monas son mis favoritas! Muy buenas! recomiendo este lugar 100%!! 🙏🏼apoyen!!“

“I had a wonderful experience here! I ordered the white rice with baked chicken and beans — everything was cooked perfectly with great flavor. The environment is warm and welcoming, making it a must-visit spot. What made it even more special was the uplifting atmosphere filled with Christian music at its finest. A place where you can enjoy both delicious food and a peaceful, joyful setting. Highly recommended!“

“My first time eating from here. I got 2 family combos. I called to pick up my order and the customer service on the phone was professional and so was in person. The place is clean, smells good and the food absolutely delicious!!! Thank you for being here , I will be a return customer !!!!!“

“I visited Bachata y Merengue Restaurant and would rate it 3/5 stars.

The food was okay, but I think it could definitely be better. My boyfriend ordered the meatballs, and they were too salty. The spaghetti was bland and needed more flavor. I ordered the rice and chicken, which were decent, but I would give them a 6/10 overall.

The restaurant itself felt very quiet and empty. There wasn’t any music playing, which made the atmosphere feel less inviting. I also noticed there were no desserts available, and the refrigerator looked mostly empty with very few drink options.

The buffet is small and offers mostly basic dishes, so there isn’t a lot of variety to choose from.

Overall, it wasn’t a bad experience, but I think the food, atmosphere, and menu selection could all be improved.“

“I fell upon this food gem on accident and sooooo glad I did.. 😊 I purchased the beef empanada ate it in my car and immediately went back inside for the $13.99 lunch special Baked Chicken, White Rice, Black Beans, and a Sancocho soup ... chef's kiss 😘“

“Is a traditional latino spot,to eat good,dominican specialties.“

“The gyros!!! And try the specials“

“Stopped here out of curiosity and we were not disappointed. The cheapest and yummiest Dominican food Ive had in NJ so far!

We got 2 lunches of white rice and stew chicken, 2 orders of beans and an order of sweet plantains. Total: $22! They serve SOOOO much food, we had left overs. My plate in the photo is after me eating quite a bit already. We then went back and got 2 tres leches, each were $3.50. Very yummy, I highly recommend this restaurant. In regards to customer service they were so sweet, professional and attentive. I wish this business lots of good fortune and will spread the word. They are amazing.“

“If you’re looking for clean, fresh food that won’t drain your wallet, this spot is a great choice. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the staff are always welcoming. It can get pretty busy since it’s popular, but the wait is definitely worth it. Only thing missing would be fresh juices, adding those would take it to the next level.“

If you’re looking for delicious Dominican food at a good price, I definitely recommend giving this place a try.“

“We were on our way out of Perth Amboy after a church service. It was late and we were driving around looking for something good to eat before heading back to south Jersey! Everything was closed! Finally we drive by this place that looked open! I’m so glad we stopped by! From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed by the young woman up front who walked us through the menu since our spanish is “no good looking” . She took her time , we didn’t feel rushed and she even gave us her personal recommendations! I chose the mofongo with chicharron and my cousin got the plantain sandwich with chicken! *chefs kiss * 10/10 . The staff were alll so kind to us . The gentleman , (not sure if he was the owner) , he talked with us for a few minutes and we really felt comfortable and welcomed! I’ve already shared this place with my family and friends! Can’t wait to return !“

“Food and hospitality is very comforting which keeps me going back. Portions are reasonable and the flavors of each dish is unique to the individual palate. i love the pernil being they provide a bitesize skin which is phenomenal. The bbq chicken is a must try and the beef in sauce with potatoes is great dish!
The place is quaint for lunch and highly recommend at least once.“

“Best Spanish food on Staten Island. The Mofongo kills!!!

Parking: I went on sunday.. the bar next door had football so parking was rough. Any other time it's much easier to park... but worth it no matter where you park... Lowes across the street has a huge parking lot!“

“It was amazing food was fire🔥🔥🔥“

“Acho que não estamos falando da mesma.Meson Tropical!! Essa ficava em Vila Isabel no Rio.de Janeiro !! e já fechou !Era uma casa de festas !! mto bonita !!“

“Delicioso sabor dominicano en NJ.“

“Very good atmosphere. The food is phenomenal and the beer is ice cold . Highly recommend this place for anyone who is trying to have a good time. The hostess was very welcoming and willing to help. The music choice is very good brings good energy to the establishment.“

“Gran calidad y la excepcional atención“

“I went here (I think they are under new management because they changed the name to D'Mayal) because I was going to a pot luck and didn't have time to cook my own dish. I ordered a tray of arroz con gandules, and I wanted to order a full pernil, but there wasn't time to make one and the only pernil that was made was what they were serving. So rather than turning me away, the owner said that what he could do was cut up a full pernil into chunks, and make me a full pernil in carne frita style. I was impressed by the way they were able to solve the problem and roll with the punches! The food came out great, and tasted home made! Everyone at the pot lunch loved it! I highly recommend you go here and order some take out!“

“OMG Dios mío que rico!!!!!! I love me some Dominican food everything on menu so tasty it feel like I’m in Dominican Republic. Definitely coming back for some more chicken and spaghetti. The desserts are good love the tres leche and carrot cake so happy I stop by after work. 10/10“

“La atención al cliente, la limpieza y el menú . Te sirven como tu quieras“

“We stayed at a hotel nearby and wanted the typical Dominican (tres golpe) breakfast so I found this restaurant online.
The food was great and service was 5/5. They had a lot of variety, my husband had the chicken soup and it was delicious too! Definitely stop by.“

“Really good place really good food really nice place. I didn’t end up getting the food that day that I ordered from there cause the restaurant was so packed and even though the people that worked, there were really nice the guest that they had there wasn’t too welcoming to black folks, but not the restaurants faultreally great service was willing to meet me outside and I could tell by the way the food looking smell it was it would’ve been so good“

“The Restaurant takes alot of pride in satisfying their customers. I placed a delivery oder and it was wrong 30 minutes later it was replace and delivered. No hassles or issues. Thank you Don Manuel.“
