Dominican Restaurants near West New York, NJ

“This is a no frills, no smiles, no music situation but the food is amazing. The lady at the counter could look a little less upset, maybe they should play some music for atmosphere, because it’s like eating in a closet with windows. That said, the food is all that really matters. The rice is fluffy, the beans are perfect, and the stewed beef was the perfect addition. The lemonade is delicious and I’m pretty sure they make their own tres leches cake, it’s good but a tad on the sweet side. All in all, definitely worth a 2nd trip.“

“Mi sitio preferido“

“Delicious carne guisada, white rice, and both red and white beans. I don't think I've seen white beans on other menus in the area. They also have slices of that thick icing Dominican cake too. I liked the whole in the wall atmosphere and quick service. It was beautiful to see the whole family run place. Great portions for amazing flavor and prices if that's your thing. But they're so good, that I'd pay more!“

“Great food and great service. The food reminds me of home and is reasonably priced. We keep coming back for the ox tail stew, ribs, beef steak, porkchops, dumplings and the boneless chicharonnes de pollo. Most meals are served with white or yellow rice and beans or vegetables. If you want to try something different, they have the beef liver and squid ink fried rice which remind me of squid ink Paella. The combination meals are a great option to try out different dishes. The staff and owners always greet you with a warm welcome.“

“great people and music. if you want a quiet place , stay home 🏡“

“Can’t say enough good things about this place! The owners are wonderful people and it is such a great addition to saddle brook. Food is delicious, love the baked chicken and empanadas!
Place is also incredibly clean inside and staff is so friendly.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional service from Yanerys!

I had the pleasure of having lunch at Mary’s Restaurant, and the best part of my experience was the incredible service provided by Yanerys. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile and made to feel truly welcome. Their attention to detail, kindness, and professionalism were beyond impressive.

Yanerys was very attentive! Yanerys is a true treasure for this restaurant.

If you are eating at Mary’s, I recommend ordering Yanerys—you won’t be disappointed! We will definitely return, thanks to your exceptional service.“

“Excellent!“

“I ordered from two good to go, which is an app that gives you discounted meals for less at the end of the night. They gave me liver which I’m not a fan of liver, but I gave it to a friend. I got potato salad. That was delicious a soup with pork in it and vegetables, rice and beans and a vegetable dish with okra and plantains. I will try out their fried chicken soon everything was packaged very good and the place looks very clean. A+

Parking: Very busy street and hard to find parking in“

“This place is very clean, has nice staff, and cooks up pretty authentic Dominican food. I ate a delicious plate of tres golpes and received a fresh plate of food with a generous portion of mangu. Wish we had places like this on the West Coast. I will come back for sure next time I’m in NYC!“

“A Home Run of flavor I just devoured at Lugo's Restaurant & Lounge, and I'm still reeling from the culinary hat trick. This dish is the MVP of my food here - succulent shrimp, indulgent lobster, and tender skirt steak join forces to create a flavor trifecta that will leave you screaming 'Triple Crown!'

The shrimp was so juicy, it practically swam onto my fork. The lobster? Butter-tender and begging to be devoured. And don't even get me started on the skirt steak - cooked to perfection and practically singing 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game' with every bite.

Lugo's Triple Play is a grand slam of flavors, a culinary World Series champion. If you haven't tried it yet, drop everything and get to Lugo's - your taste buds will thank you. Five stars, ten stars, a million stars - this dish is the real MVP."“

“Amazing if you want a Dominican Feel in your heart by the smell and atmosphere this is the perfect place to be at. There food is delicious and they are very nice. They do take only cash but they allow Zelle as well as cash up.
Only thing I wish they had was Large cups sizes for the morir Soñando 🤣“

“Really nice place to eat everyday, the 10$ meal is just really generous, if you eat a lot this is the place for you. I'm only speaking of 10$ meal. There are more things on the menu. Add a nice costumer service and this place is just great, I just had lunch in Newark, for ... like the same amount of food or less and it cost me 33$, I wish I was near Rancho Deli...“

“July 8 2024 order some rice and 2 porkchop the lady gave me 2 ham steak which was very salty not too please at all so when you order make sure it's what u ask for I don't speak Spanish!!!!!“

Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs available“

“Oh my goodness, Went got food from here twice & both visits it has been fresh, flavorful & juicy (not dry or salty). Best fried chicken in the area for me! Better than Kennedy Fried chicken ? & I’d rather walk from dyckman to this spot on 207th for this chicken. It’s worth it ❤️

Kid-friendliness: They have wings,drum sticks & French fries incase your child can’t eat thick cut tostones & huge thighs.“

“Amazing place I’ve been eating there for 11 years!! Their staff is ever so kind to everyone. Food is affordable and delicious. The restaurant is in a good location near tons of apartments so it’s good to order food and good to go down there and dine!! 110% recommend food is fresh and cultural.kid friendly towards being treated and also with the food portions

Kid-friendliness: I’ve went there when I was really little not once have I ever gotten food I haven’t loved I used to go in there confident in what I wanted to get and the portions were just small enough for me to eat with barley and left overs“

“The food here is very good. I personally like their "Ropa Vieja" dish. They make it excellent!“

“I work in Midtown Manhattan and everyone in the company has tasted the cuisine of So Good Cuisine LLC... we licked our fingers with that seafood ham and chofan... wow how delicious, just remembering it is a pleasure to the palate... Since then we have ordered our dishes holidays with them.. I highly recommend it if you want to eat well and look good with your guests.. they are super cordial and attentive to the details of the order… We went to the restaurant and it is nice and hygienic too.. It is decorated with love..“

“everything and the excitement service the staff super nice and attentive love Juanas' im a happy customer for more than 30 yesrs❤❤❤❤❤“

“I’m Puerto Rican and when I’m feeling homesick (often lately) I come in for a feast. Best rotisserie chicken, perfect seasoning, tasty crispy skin. Arroz con gandules is my favorite but the congris (black bean rice) is a close second. Also, I have a severe gluten allergy and have never had an issue! Love this place!“

“Friendly people, Great customer service. The food is good and made when you order so you know it's always fresh! And the prices are affordable considerating the neighborhood. Definitely recommend this place. It's been in the community for years!“

“The Chicharones and the Rabos was delicious! Got take out for this but I donrecommend bringing someone who speaks spanish to help you get your order right. I paid much more than what I should’ve when I went by myself but when I went with my friend who spoke spanish to them we paid the same amount for more food. But still recommend!“

“This is my favorite local spot, the staff is the best & the food �������“

“Small hole in the wall shop serving up bomb food. Ordered the chicken quesadilla for pick-up was still hot, crunchy and delicious. Cheese to chicken ratio was fantastic. Sauce is delicious! Guy at the front was kind. No complaints. And to get a meal for $11 nowadays?! Unreal! Thank you!“
