“Beautiful place, nice to clients and a variety of Dominican Food tu supiste 🇩🇴🇩🇴“

“I hadn't eaten a Dominican Hot Dog in a long time, so I wanted to eat one that I really liked, and I can say that it met my expectations in terms of flavor, the only thing I didn't like was that it arrived cold and it's just 4 blocks away where I made the order from.“

“Completely recommended.Great food!!! And the customer service not to mention. This place is passing, I have not yet arrived at a place where I feel welcome.I love that you feel peace because where the Lord lives there is enough love.Completely recommended to anyone looking for a quiet place with a Christian atmosphere, good and delicious food, and very good customer service.You won't regret it, try it and only then you will see what I describe. Blessings !“

“Street parking but it's plentiful for the area so you won't have any issues.

The interior is beautiful with lots of photo opporunities inside.

Their cappuccino is just right. Guava pastry is good. They have empanadas and other patry items like cupcakes, brownies, macarons, etc.

Worth a stop if you have time and are in the area.

They make cakes for special occasions as well.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I LOVE this place! My job chose this place for Appreciate Month. The cook and cashier was so nice, that they made Eggplant for me even though it was a Lunch Special, because I came to them in the evening. The food had a lot of flavor but I wish the beans wasn't so watery. You get more water than beans. Overall it's worth the money, I definitely got a bang for my buck. I'll be back because ? is one of my favorite veggies. ?

Vegetarian options: Eggplant“

“Muy buena comida y agradable ambiente me gusto“

“Love the food here they definitely give ample food for the money. Dining area is rather small I always do take-out. Food is served tray line style so you're able to see and select your menu items. It can get very busy at times due to the small serving area where there's usually only one person taking orders.“

“My sister ordered a full tray of arroz con gandules, maduros, and pollo guisado for my nephew's birthday. Everything was excellent. I will definitely come here in person in the future. Everything was amazing.“

“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“

“Parking: Don’t let the location fool you. It’s more of a take out place but it does have limited seating. The food was amazing. The fried fish was so flavorful and flaky. The rice and beans were top notch. The chicharron was exactly what you’d want: crispy skin, melt in your mouth fatty layer with tender meat. I can’t wait to try other dishes. The staff was very friendly but just know that the parking is limited. .“

“This local Dominican spot rivals some restaurants in Washington Heights, NYC (iykyk). The space is neat and clean, service is great and the food (all the plates) are certainly the star of the show. I wish they had another spot closer to me in NJ. I had rice, beans and Ox tail. All prepared and presented in traditional Dominican style (Yum!) I also had the Pernil which was so tender and tasty. My drink was Tamarind juice, which was my favorite drink.
Will definitely come back and refer to others.“

“I like the food ox tail goat onion steak bakala was ?. Pricing is different everytime depends who ring you up but overall not pricey for today's world. Owner is cool and so is most of the crew besides one woman . Parking sucks but obviously not their fault.“

“Gran calidad y la excepcional atención“

“Just got 2 baked haddock take-out dinners for my husband and me and we were both blown away. Also got a spicy stuffed quahog and it was perfect. All the food was hot and fresh. Highly recommend!“

“If you are Dominican, don't look to the side, you are in the wrong place, the attention is incredible, the food and the chimis are great, the only bad thing is that they don't have bathrooms, they tell you that the beggars outside use them and that's why reason you can't use it, but going to a food place without bathrooms is crazy, SUPER NEGATIVE“

“Delicious food after a few too many drinks at a bar/disco. Dominican/Cuban/Puerto Rican food. We ordered patacon, dominican chimi and a $30 picadera (you choose what you want your picadera to have: we chose chuleta (pork chops) pollo frito (fried chicken) queso frito (fried cheese) orejita (fried pork ears) and longaniza (dominican sausage, with tostones (fried plantains) and batata frita (japanese sweet potato).
Place was clean, ladies were nice and friendly, and place is open late, which is an ideal option to go after drinks to avoid a hangover.“

“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.“

“el mejor payaso mago Dominicano 732 621 9305 recomienda a este restaurant excelente .“

“Had the pollo guisado and maduras from Sabor Dominicana and it was absolutely delicious! The chicken was so tender and flavorful, and the seasoning was just perfect - true comfort food!!! Server was very attentive and kind I had a fantastic experience. You can really taste the authenticity in every bite. I will definitely be back again!! ☺️“

“Really well seasoned, good food.
You know how you go to some restaurants & you end up having to add seasoning to their food. Not so with any of the dishes here & I’ve had a least four different dishes. My favorites are the pepper steak & rice, and the Shrimp Alfredo.
Only draw back is that a couple of times they put too much juice w/pepper steak..it’s to greasy. That’s why four stars instead of 5.
Just tell them don’t add the juice.

Parking: The parking lot is small, most time we’ve gone there was a spot.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp to the front door.“

“I must say that the food is really good, i have been coming here for a few years now and will continue to come, the only thing i don't like is that you can order the same thing every time you come, and the prices are not the same. Overall, the food is always good and i never had an issue with anyone there.“

“good food“

“Excellent place. Very good attention. Good quality. Good service, Cristian the guanabanero tells you. Yes, yes.

Parking: Parking is very well coordinated by security personnel and is located at the back of the Restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: Good environment for children, very familiar and welcoming.“

“Best cheap food, haven't had any major issues except a couple mistakes sometimes but very rare. For those that care about them not using gloves, they wash their hands and barely touch the foods with their hands - I never tasted anything bad or gotten sick from it. This place was cheaper before the quarantine but only went up a couple cents. Went here for at least 3 years now.“
