Puerto Rican Restaurants near Teaneck, NJ

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

“I have been to Bistro Taino several times including for a special birthday dinner and it never disappoints. Tonight I went with some coworkers and as always everything was so good. We shared the crabmeat empanadas and each had the bifongo as entrees with chicken, steak, and seafood. We also shared the coconut tembleque for dessert. Special shout out to our server, Arianni, she was amazing! Friendly, attentive, and personable. Great service, food and ambiance, can’t ask for more. Thank you Bistro Taino for always making it a great experience.“

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

“Lechonera La Piraña is incredible! The lechon is crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor — easily some of the best in the city. The portions are huge, the sides are delicious, and everything tastes homemade. The vibe is chill and full of good energy, and the people are super friendly. Real deal Puerto Rican food that never disappoints“

“Came here a few days ago for drinks and the experience was wonderful. I had never had a guanabana frozen margarita before and it was delicious and so was the food. The bartender Shalamar was attentive and helpful when I didn’t know what to choose because they had so many options that I had never tried before, so I would highly recommend this place.“

“Yesterday, we made a brief stop to grab a quick bite, but following a conversation with the owner of this notable establishment, we opted to sit down and savor the cuisine. The setting felt like stepping into our grandmother's kitchen, with the mofongo boasting a crispy exterior and a soft, moist interior, paired with a side of beef broth that complemented it remarkably well. The fried offerings were delectable without being greasy. The crab rice was truly exceptional, presented in a crab shell for added drama. The culinary experience and customer service, provided by the staff and the owner, were outstanding. We felt at home, surrounded by exceptional Puerto Rican hospitality. As natives of Connecticut, we would willingly drive two and a half hours to dine there again.“

“Muy buena. Comida y buena a. Atención“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“The servers are attentive and the kitchen delivers quality. Nothing here hides behind heavy sauces. The rating scale should extend for places like this. The employees deliver outstanding customer support. The entire experience left me wanting nothing more.“

“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.“

“The variety and flavor of the vegan breakfast, lunch, smoothies, coffees are amazing. This restaurant is in walking distance from many hotels. Located in a cool historical art deco building. The staff is friendly and attentive. The food is fresh, and the place has such a cool vibe.“

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

“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 !“

“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 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.“

“I've been going to this place for over 20+ years with my family! It remains one of the best places to get crispy pork and rice and beans in the bronx! New owners have come along and other dishes they sell dont really hold up to the level of the pork. Stick with the crispy pork and you will be in 5 star heaven!“

“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.“

“The food was incredibly delicious and lots of great selections. It's a hot food bar so there is no waiting. I even was surprised to find something I never tried from PR. Only thing missing are actual seats to eat at the dinning counter. There are just the stubs for the seat“

“We chose this restaurant out of the blue after a long day traveling and walking around downtown. This was a great restaurant... fresh, delicious food, great service and atmosphere. I highly recommend Havana Central Times Square for a casual dining experience for couples and families!“
