Dominican Restaurants near South River, NJ

“Hey guys, listen to what I'm saying.There is no need for anyone to look anywhere else. This is definitely the spot. Excellent food, nice place and beautiful people. If you order a full tray of food, trust me, you won't be disappointed ?. I usually take empanadas to my coworkers in NYC, and they love them. Thanks to Nossa Aldelia Bakery. And by the way, they make some amazing pastries.Thanks ? Danny Rodriguez“

“Me encanto la comida y buen trato al cliente“

“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.“

“Delicious Latin food in town.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Great place to stop and have a heavy, healthy meal while waiting for your EV to charge.

Great portions and a huge selection of provisions and meats, hot and cold sides! Great service and recommended by the folks at the store near the laundromaut.“

“Stopped by for breakfast, traditional mangu, onions, fried cheese, salami, fried egg. Flavor 10/10 the mangu was so smooth melt in your mouth texture. I’m glad I stoppped by. They only gave me one slice of salami tho wish I had two but that’s just me being greedy it’s more than enough food for 1 person“

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

“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.“

“Delicioso sabor dominicano en NJ.“

“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.“

“The good food and friendly service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Gran calidad y la excepcional atención“

“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 !“

“I had been coming since 2021 the food is delicious! I did notice the prices went up a bit, I like how you can come in and pick whatever you want to eat for a quick bite of hardy food. It's already made and they have my favorite all time starch Yuca w red onion! 😋 Sometimes I have to speak a little Spanish to tell them what I want but the cashier is very patient with me and nice. You ALWAYS get your money worth because they give you a lot of food.
Update: They forgot my sides, they're normally good, Idk what happened but I ordered from DD.“

“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“

“People don't order through grubhub. Order directly from the restaurant. Grubhub charge high on the merchants prices. I went in person and they treated me nice and attended me fast then grubhub. Food was delicious too. Worth going. I'm bringing my whole family there next time.“

“The food is amazing. Dominican cuisine with lots of variety and swift preparation. The servers are very friendly and make you feel welcomed. Always with a smile. And you can get your food within minutes. I go there often. Only complaint is that their best dish, the coconut salmon, is only available during a small window of time around noon. And sometimes, not even then.“

“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.“

“The food is absolutely delicious and well seasoned. The staff is extremely friendly and courteous. I love the steak, pernil, carne frita and arroz con gandules. I make it a point to stop by whenever I am in the area. Try them out you too will love it.“

“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.“

“good food“

“Excellent food!!! Very Happy I Stopped In!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I have to say that Mi Tierra has improved a lot in the quality of the food. They still have a lot of opportunity to improve the service and the atmosphere, perhaps lower the music and demand better behavior from diners.But they have improved, that's good.I recommend Mofongo.“

“Great Hispanic traditional food, an array of drinks at the bar, and the ability to purchase wholesale. Be sure to try the fried fish fillet. 👌🏿 😄

Kid-friendliness: Yes, kids' menu and family booths available.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes they have a ramp.“

“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.“
