Spanish Restaurants near Saddle Brook, NJ

“Buena comida ? y buenas atenciones ?“

“Sometimes all you need is a couple tacos and something crispy fresh out the fryer, and Los Gueros absolutely delivered. The tacos came loaded with juicy meat, fresh pico, avocado, and that perfect balance where nothing overpowers the other. Messy in the best way possible.

The flautas stole the show though — crunchy, packed with filling, and ridiculously satisfying dipped into the sauce on the side. You can tell this is the kind of place people keep in rotation because the food feels comforting without trying too hard.

No gimmicks, no overcomplicated menu, just flavorful Mexican food done right. Perfect spot for a quick bite, takeout night, or when you’re craving something that actually hits. Saddle Brook definitely needed a spot like this.

“Friendly, efficient, professional service from (Marlon) and owner (Alex). Delicious tapas included Albondigas, Camarones en Salsa De Mango, and Tortilla Española (that potato/cheese/onion treat ) Oh - and the ginormous Land and Sea Paella was superb. Add a coupla glasses of their Lovely Logos Cab, and — just WOW!“

“De verdad es la mejor comida con mucha calidad y su personal trata a todos como familia las muchachas son tan servíciales que me siento como si estuviera en mi propia casa gracias a todos por sus amabilidades“

“Enoteca for me is a 5/5, travelling from London the welcome was warm the ambience was a plenty and the gin list the most extensive I have ever seen. We were fortunate have the menu talked through by the owner and at our request his food and wine choices were impeccable. Just fantastic 👌🏻“

“We had a really good time. Very cozy, awesome service and the live Flamenco really made it a special night.“

“The oxtail soup is the reason I keep coming back. It’s well cooked, generous portion, and satisfying. Service can run slow, but it seems to be a family-run spot with a hole-in-the-wall charm, so it comes with the territory and is worth the wait.“

“The attention was wonderful. The white sangria was very good. The food was absolutely delicious. Paella marinara, Chilean sea bass and the mariscada were all yummy. Best part. … the flamenco show.“

“stopped by for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. the food came out pretty quick and everything tasted fresh. tried one of the house specialties and it had a lot of flavor without being overly heavy. portions were decent and definitely filling for the price. the place itself is simple and casual, nothing fancy, but it felt clean and welcoming. staff were friendly and patient while explaining a few menu items. service wasn't perfect and there was a little wait for the food, but nothing that ruined the experience. overall a solid local spot and i'd definitely come back to try a few more things.“

“First rate service! Very nice wine selection! The food...! I ordered the filet mignon and I could cut it with the wrong side of the knife! Cooked to perfection! Creme Brulee was very good! The atmosphere was cozy! Five out of Five!!“

“We have been going to El Cid for over 30 years and went back for the first time since they reopened. I’m happy to say that it was as great as it was in the past. The Prime Rib, sirloin and sangria were delicious and we can’t wait to go back!“

“Ordered 225 small empanadas from them. Everybody was raving about them. Very very good. Filled with meat and the cheese. One were filled with cheese and the chicken ones were filled with chicken. Can't go wrong with this place to order empanadas, the ground beef ones had a lot of flavor“

“Awesome fries and Cuban sandwich. Good selection of empanadas. Highly recommend.“

“Just tried the emenadas (pollo, beef, queso). They were excellent. Will be back for more food.“

“Thanks the empanadas are the best“

“I love this place. I normally go there in the morning, so this review is pretty much based on the bagels or bagel sandwiches I get. But they are great. The bagels are made there. They're awesome. They make the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches even more delicious. Their coffee is good and the staff is friendly. I can only imagine their Latino food is just as good. Street parking is limited but that's the only thing that is even remotely negative and that's not their fault! I would say if you try them, you won't be disappointed.“

“Food was amazing and service was on point !! Delicious 🤤“

“Excelente servicio al cliente las chicas de la entrada te reciben con mucho amor , es un ambiente familiar , de verdad espectacular“

“We recently held a family reunion at El Mesón Español, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, taking the time to explain the menu and answer all of our questions. The food was outstanding—every dish was cooked to perfection. We especially enjoyed the paella, oxtail, veal, and ribs—each one full of rich, authentic. Highly recommended!“

“Enjoyed the many different Tapas we tried out 😋“

“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“

“great staff and delicious food“

“Love this place , food, atmosphere staff location etc. What I don't like and so ny family and friends is the music is always too loud. I spoke about this before with no actions to resolve it.“

“"This Cuban food restaurant offers excellent value for money. The staff is friendly and attentive. However, a small limitation is that they do not accept card payments, which may be inconvenient for some customers. Overall, the experience is wonderful, but due to this limitation, I give it 4 stars."⭐️“

“Love their food. Everything I've had there is so tasty. I'm disappointed that they changed their fried potatoes. They are more like a bag of chips now, otherwise no complaints.“

“large menus. delicious food recomiend the restaurant 100%“

“Ordered a couple dishes from here on door dash for the first time and I am impressed! The food was absolutely delicious, not one complaint about any of it. I didn’t know what to expect because the prices are so low and you just don’t see that anymore, the chicken combo was only $9. The portions are generous and even though some of it is deep fried NONE of it is greasy. Will definitely stop by next time to try more dishes.“

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

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

“Well I have been going there for about 15 years now. it's my Friday night dinner and sangria spot. Food, drinks ambience and of course superb customer service A+. Best surf & turf in the business!!“

“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!!“

“Excellent Thanksgiving Dinner! Excellent Serice by Issac. Terrific Food. Highly Recommend“

“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 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 food and amazing coffee“

“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.“

“Hace poco hice un pedido para un evento social familiar por un valor de $540 pero decidí pagar con mi tarjeta de crédito, obviamente me cobran el impuesto tax 6.625% de venta, sin embargo, tuvieron el descaro de cobrarme un 2.9% adicional por el uso de la tarjeta de crédito. Cuando les pregunté, me dijeron que había un cajero (ATM) automático que podía usar, por lo tanto si lo pagaría en efectivo y solo pagaría $ 540. Parece obvio que están tratando de estafar el impuesto sobre las ventas del gobierno. en cualquier caso, la comida no era tan buena y nunca volveré a ellos. Buen trabajo para estafar a los clientes pidiéndoles efectivo en lugar de pagar una factura de tarjeta de crédito.“

“Buena atención, buena música y buena comida.“

“todo pero me fascina el pargo frito con tostones y ensalada“

“This place reminds me of my favorite West Coast Mexican restaurants, which I love! Loved the chile relleno and also the mole sauce (not pictured) was great, savory and complex. Gotta love a classic marg as well. Servings are big and prices reasonable, highly recommend!“

“The food is delicious and the service is great!“
