I'm pretty sure at this point I have an addiction. I have had food from this restaurant so many times the past few months I'm almost embarrassed. always consistent, always hot and fresh despite me always having it delivered, bright fresh savory high quality. if you're looking for some all-around good food this is the spot to spend your money.

My favorite restaurant I stopped in every time I'm in the area the sources are amazing everything there is good I like the mountain platter or the pork chops if it's lunch time I get the chipotle chicken I've been going to this place for over 10 years I don't live in the area anymore but if I'm anywhere close by I won't go out of my way to stop by.

My husband and I have been going to El Familiar for 13 years since I’ve moved to Toms River Nj from Bergen County The food is is amazing and consistent. We go at least once a week for dinner. The empanadas, Ribeye Steaks and chicharron just the name of you a few. The service is impeccable plus it’s a BYOB
