Puerto Rican Restaurants near Ridgefield Park, NJ

“Love it todo rico bendiciones ♥️“

“Dining at this Puerto Rican restaurant was a memorable experience from start to finish. The staff is incredibly warm, friendly, and attentive, making you feel right at home. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy delicious food, great service, and a true taste of Puerto Rico.“

“This is a special place, only open Saturdays and Sundays. I suggest arriving earlier, the line is pretty unavoidable, my friends and I arrived close to 1pm, we ended up getting our food about two hours later, so do not expect this to be a quick ordeal. It was worth waiting, two of my friends and I biked from north Brooklyn. Bring a book or some friends, maybe a drink for the line. The line is lively and has a fun and great spirit, mixed with locals, long time regulars, and other who are coming from other places that have heard about the amazing food like us. Piraña, the owner/chef is warm and friendly and hilarious! You can tell that he cares about every single person’s experience and is not rushing you through, every plate is made with care and love, he also gives back, as we waited we witnessed him give food away to those without means to buy food, elderly, etc. Once we finally got our food, we walked to some tables across the street at a playground and we were instantly smiling as we ate our delicious pork! Also the shrimp, crab, and then the octopus salad that you can get in your platter with rice and plantain are all really great and worth trying! Highly recommend, but give yourself a half day for this!“

“One of the best places to get delicious Puerto Rican food!“

“Are you nuts, the best Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 restaurant in Paterson. They have been there for many, many years. It's a family owned. They are so lovely n respectful to everyone. If you haven't ever been you have to go and try for yourself. On holidays like Christmas and New Years the pasteles are freshly made the are bomb delicious 😋.“

“Wonderful service the workers are friendly Food is amazing definitely loved it“

“A hidden gem in the bronx new village area. I had a wonderful time with Peter gunz, Melba from the famed restaurant Melba's, the bronx borough president was there, Jimmy & his sister was there. The legend Eric B, was there also. And many other stars and of course Db. Shark the celebrities favorite was in the house.“

“All the food is excellent!! I live in Toms River and go up there often to get food! 5 Stars“

“Great ambiance and exceptional service. Food was delicious and great drink options!“

“A staple in the North of Newark. Definitely a locals spot with a ever growing clientele. this spot looks small in the front but it has a banquet hall, pool table and bar area. If you go by, say "hi" to Cheito (the owner). Tell him "Nani" sent you ;)“

“Muy buena. Comida y buena a. Atención“

“Wonderful service the workers are friendly Food is amazing definitely loved it“

“Multiple options in the menu. They explain the menu in detail if you need help. I ended mixing some options. The mofongo is spectacular, soft with crunchy pieces of bacon and flavorful. Pernil is juicy and tasty. Atmosphere is good. I highly recommend it.“

“This is a great location. Nora took very good care of me and my husband and then I found one of my friends from another location. His name is Ricardo. He works at the bar. The food was delicious. We had Bandeja paisa and we had a Mofongo with Camaron is the best combination between Colombia and Puerto Rico please, and take a look at this place. The ambience is gorgeous. It’s in Williamsburg. You must come and try it.“

“The pasteles were delicious! I took a chance since I saw this add first on Facebook and I was not disappointed. They deliver to NJ at an additional cost. Los pasteles muy ricos!! Me tomé un chance ya que fue en Facebook y sabemos que cualquiera cosa puede suceder y valió la pena. Ellos hacen delivery a NJ a un costo additional. Definitivamente vuelvo a ordenar. Ordené de yuca con pollo y plátano con pollo. Me llegaron 2 de yuca con pernil y también estaban delicioso!“

“Great food and service. Just moved here in the area and all I want is Spanish good for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Everything’s well done and juicy! (Pause) I recommend boneless chicken, white rice, red beans and salad. In the morning mungu, cheese, salami and eggs or a sandwich.“

“Havent been here in years (15+ years) and was in town and decided to stop in like I used to years ago before heading back out of town to go home and was kind of disappointed that the food is nothing like I remembered it to be. It was just cold and no flavor.“

“is like puerto rico good food“

“absolutely delicious 😋 food, anything they cook is amazing.“

“my favorite is the prosecutor ! but everything is great ! very cool guys there !“

“Excellent! Visited from upstate Ny and they were so amazing to me and the family. My daughter loved their food and loved their potatoes in their stew chicken and they made my daughter feel special by giving her extra while eating and to take home . Felt like I was with family. Great food great everything don’t let the negative reviews keep you away, I Will be back !“

“Deliciosa lechona, idéntica como la preparan en Colomba. Recomendada.“

“This place has earned my repeated business. The kitchen delivered more than I imagined. The look of this place is incredible. The employees displayed friendliness and menu expertise. After my recent relocation, finding this place was a pleasant surprise.“

“I was at a nearby hotel looking for a delicious smoothie and got so much more than I imagined. I walked in and immediately the vibe felt right. A very kind woman gave us the lowdown. There were not a lot of options but enough for breakfast/brunch. I ended up with a smoothie, ginger turmeric shot, and the chai pancakes. These pancakes were not light and fluffy. They were soft and dense and beautifully topped with granola and nuts and bananas and I truly enjoyed every bite! Smoothie was good but the mint was a bit too much for my tastebuds. Highly recommend this place! Updated from previous review on 2026-03-03“

“The food is extremely good. The place itself is a bit hot and cramped. They're cash only. Portions are bigger if you eat in (way too much to finish) but God value either way. For my money, it's the best well-rounded meal in midtown.“

“The food is very good, the owner is very nice person, the guys from the delibre are very good person but the person who works in the afternoon and a skinny one there talk to you as if you were a dog, you ask for chicken and they send you goat, you ask for oatmeal and They send you a mess of coffee but if they manage to send you what you really ordered the place is 5 stars“

“Definitely recommend their food it’s amazing. Feels like I’m back home the food is just delicious.“

“We hadn't been here in a while. Looked forward. Start positive: White rice, red beans, and arroz con gandules, very good. However, on a Friday evening (7ish) , there was only 1 server for the entire section. It was not crowded. Empty tables in our section.We placed our orders right away with drinks and an appetizer. We waited more than 30 minutes for our drinks and appetizer. Appetizer never arrived, but our main courses (both the same) did. The fried pork chops were overly cooked - dried excessively. They were more like fried pork chunks. Difficult to eat. Knife had a difficult time cutting the meat. Margarita was subpar at best. Management needs to step up. I am a strong supporter of local restaurants, especially Puerto Rican/Latino establishments. This restaurant is an East Harlem icon. Overall: disappointed.“

“The breakfast pockets were beyond my expectations! Perfect for a hearty morning breakfast that are quick to heat up and very filling/tasteful. Would recommend these 10x over!“

“Absolutely terrible costumer service, a friend and I went in to get some food and we were asking questions and the workers were giving us attitude and ignoring us. I've also noticed a roach on the pizza, This place needs to be shut down. They should not be in business because of the way they be talking to costumers and being rude and nasty. We are not coming here ever again.“

“My family has been enjoying cuchifritos for as long as I can remember & im turning 36 this year ! 😫anyways we haven’t been to a cuchifritos in a min cause we’re from nj . My family is from nyc so we’d get cuchifritos when in nyc . Today we got some cause we was in nyc . We bough so many frituras we spend $101 . Insane but worth it .“

“I always get the roast pork with yellow rice and beans. I love the alcapurrias. The chicken soup is delicious. Sometimes if they have it, I get the pupusas. Everything I've ever ordered here has been delicious. It's tastes home cooked, and fresh. It's too bad I live a couple hours away, or I'd be here every week. It's a very casual place.“

“This review is long overdue! This is my FAVORITE Spanish restaurant ever. Their chicken is juicy and tasty, along side the mojito sauce; Amazing! They never fail, I’ve been going to them for over 8 years now. So good that I moved and still travel to eat from them.“

“I've been coming to this restaurant since I was a little boy. So this place has a special place in my heart. However, the food hasn't changed. It's Just as delicious now, as it was then. As for the service, they have a system that resembles a well oiled machine. They are both courteous and fast. If you’re looking for fancy dining, then you may want to go elsewhere, but if you love good Latin food, then look no further, and if you love seafood soup then please go there on Fridays.“

“We were a large group and arrived earlier then our reservation and they accommodated us right away. Food was great and our server went above and beyond when he checked our daughters ID he must of seen her bday was next week and had them sing and bring a dessert to her once we were done with our dinner. Highly recommend“

“Absolutely delicious, afordable, and great service. One of the times I went, it was the birthday a person who was working there. The staff gave everyone sitting in the restaurant cake, on top of making a delicious chicken plate for me prior. I 100% recommend this local spot!“
