“I've lived in this area for almost a decade, but had not yet found Latin food that could compare to what I had growing up in Union City and when I lived in the city and visited Washington Heights. Until now, that is! Surrender Cafe recently became available on DoorDash. I had never heard of it, but was drawn by the great reviews, tempting photos of the food, and many of my favorites on a menu with lots of my favorites. This is the first time I've ever ordered from a place, and then immediately again the next day. I especially love that so many of their dishes are available in smaller portions. Want to try the mofongo? Here's the mofonguitos! And meat-only portions can be had of just about everything in small, medium or large sizes, which made it easy for me to sample the beef and chicken guisado, red and black beans, pernil, so I ordered the bistec ecebollado for my main dish. Everything, absolutely everything is delicious, and arrived well packaged. Oh - and I almost forgot - the tres leches! Absolutely top notch. Not only some of the best Latin food I've ever had, but some of the best comfort food I've ever had, period.“
“ME Casa is some of the best authentic Spanish Caribbean food I have ever had in the Tri-State area. I am never disappointed with anything on the menu, but their arroz con gandules is some of the best I ever had. Pair that with their pepper steak and you have a match made in food heaven.“
“The place has such a vibe. The food is just delicious. I had a bacon egg and cheese and a chicken cutlet sandwich. We all have that sandwich spot. The one we like the bread at or the coffee or the way we get treated. This is my spot now. Customer service made you feel right at home. The vibe made you want to stay and relax for a little. Take some time and read this memo the owner has posted by the register. I should have taken a picture but the one line that stop out to me, If you need to vent do it because I will vent to you. I didn’t quote because I know is not just right but that just said so much to me about the place. I will be there again tomorrow. ??Ps. Got a pic of the memo also another chicken cutlet“
“Shouting from the mountain tops praises for this small family business! It was important to us to have traditional Puerto Rican food at my grandmother’s repast. My family and I were struggling to find a local place that checked off all the boxes. This family business understood the mission and said, “we got you!” And we felt it from beginning to end. Not only did they cater for us but secured a venue for us and did all the little things as well to ensure a memorable smooth event. We just showed up (40+ people) and enjoyed our family and amazing food. So grateful to have stumbled upon Mambo Nando’s and now to be part of their loyal customers. Can’t wait for the summer!“

“This is one of my fav take out restaurants ..the traditional empanadas are perfect , and the funky ones are imaginative and delicious. Warning, hot sauce is HOT.The stuff is always super friendly, and the smallish eating area is clean and welcoming.Kid-friendliness: It’s not chuck-e-cheese, but kids would like it.“
“This place took over a popular breakfast diner near Newark Airport and all signs now say "Cafe con Pan" outside. But inside, the 2-person cook staff was wearing "Esquina del Coqui" t-shirts. We ate a hearty portion of bacon and eggs, a light and well cooked potato ball stuffed with beef and some very good cafe con leche. They have lots of empanadas and pastries in a case, they bake custom cakes, and have some chafing dishes of meat and chicken stews. Didn't try that so can't speak to the main dishes. Very nice team and very welcoming. Lots of truckers coming in for takeout so assuming food is pretty good. Certainly cheap. Sidewalk seating available too.“
“If you have not stopped by here, I recommend that you do, excellent service Lyno attended to me and was incredibly professional, very welcoming, the food was exquisite, I recommend it, then don't say that I didn't tell you the last one….“
