The staff are very friendly and nice. The interior is small but not necessarily overcrowded. The food is awesome definitely the best around. The iced coffee was my favorite! If you want to eat around the area definitely try here! I will be going again soon. read more

Cafecito - Latin American Near Me - Paterson, New Jersey

Food is very tasty and delicious. Unfortunately they take too long to prepare it. I'm always busy running all over I can't wait over 40 minutes for 3 sandwiches read more

The only reason they received two stars is because their Mint Lemonade is great! Other than that their food is horrible. They don't know how to make a Yaroa AT ALL and the simplest sandwich tasted like nothing. Only way I'll return is for the Mint Lemondade. Extremely disappointed! read more

The best hispanic food i have ever had in NJ Period. The mofongo was delicious, the portions are big. The only thing I dont like is that I did not know this restaurant existed earlier. Love their food. read more

I am in love with this place! Their croquetas and bolas de yuca are amazing. The food is fresh, unexpensive, great portions, very clean and the customer service is wonderfull! Highly recommended! read more

I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich specifically with avocado and bacon add-ons( which I paid extra for ) via uber eats and what I received was a paper thin grilled chicken sandwich with cheese, lettuce and tomato ?? All things I specifically did NOT choose because I'm allergic to them. I will never order from this place again. I don't understand what the purpose is in allowing us to customize a sandwich if they're gonna send you whatever they want anyway. Save yourself the headache and go to Tucanes next door, the food is better and they actually give you what you order. read more

Cafecito - BEC sandwich and coffee - Latin American Near Me - Paterson, New Jersey

I went by the store and got a egg and cheese sandwich and a chicken Caesar salad. The sandwich was okay but the caesar salad was horrible. Had to throw the whole thing away. That's 10 USD down the drain people. The lettuce was wilted. The lettuce was shredded! I don't what they put in it but it was just inedible. When I called the store to let them know - they totally dismissed me. Never going back there again. read more

I was at first glance impressed by the cleanliness of the place. There was a open air kitchen with a small mixture of tables and a counter to sit at. While I waited for my food the staff was enjoying a batch of fried plantains behind the counter, not only was this the first thing that turned me off but it did frustrate me to watch as they ate the food I was waiting for. Once I had gotten my order (that took 15 minutes longer than the time they had told me) I dug in. The fried plantains were not seasoned at all, the steak was dry and chewy and the limo lettuce underneath served as little more than a waste of space. My wife had chosen the mofongo which was also served basically dry. I had hoped for the quick pick up Spanish food I love but got little more than a flashy sign, not so good food and bad service. I would not recommend returning here to any friends. read more

I was planning a surprise party and needed to find affordable finger foods since it was a sport event . Let me just say I was so grateful for the welcoming way I was assisted . I ordered two med trays on day of event and it was a big hit. Our family and friends were super impressed and raving about presentation and taste ! Thank you so much for saving the day for me and how delicious it was . read more

The place is small but they make banging food. It's not to greasy has a good price and they don't take too long to make your food. I could practically maybe eat half the cafe because that's how good the food is read more

I've come here a couple of times. I've not yet seen another customer though. It's a small place with perhaps 5 small tables and 5 seats at a counter by the window. I've had the North 8th Steak Roll and I've had the Veggie Omelet and Berry Explosion smoothie. Everything was great. There is a television perched on top of a cold beverage refrigerator but I was entertained by residents across the street trying to control an out of control lawn umbrella on a windy day. read more

First time here and all I can say is AMAZING!!!! The passion fruit juice and empanadas were fresh and full of wonderful flavor! I definitely recommend this place!!! read more

Great food and the ladies who work there are always eager to help you and greet you, if you're in prospect park, cafecíto is definitely the way to go! read more

Friendly, great good, and clean! I have never done a review before but I was thoroughly impressed by everything.. especially since they just opened up! The staff was extremely nice and they apologized for the food taking so long but it only took 5 minutes! Super sweet ladies working when I went in.. and bi-lingual :) fun foods to choose from and did I mention how clean it was?! I'll be back often read more

Omg the philly cheese is great taste so good thanks you guys for making my lunch great will deff be ordering fron here again and you delivery she was great also thanks definitely would not mind having her deliver my everytime read more

Tried out the Philly cheesestea and the Mango smoothie, both very delicious!!! The staff was very friendly, thank you guys! Looking forward to visiting again! :) read more

I've ordered 3 times from this place in the past six months and somehow they manage to forget an item each and every time. How is this possible? read more

I went there for lunch and really liked the beautiful, colorful menu with all of the options. I had the Bomberito which was AMAZING. I also had an iced coffee and you can tell that the coffee is excellent quality and very tasty. The service was impeccable as was the food and experience. I can't wait to go back again. read more

I've lived in the small town of Prospect Park my entire life and to be quite honest the best restaurant we've ever had is the rundown Chinese spot up the street from Cafecito. Cafecito serves to change that and to hopefully breathe new life into a town that has had fewer and fewer businesses every year. Cafecito is quaint and homey, but it gets the job done. Their sandwiches are to die for and the smoothies are delightful. Their coffee is both rich flavor and filled with a Spanish punch. Simply put, Prospect Park has needed a place like this for a long time. read more

The environment is beautiful the setting made me feel like I was eating at my house. Coffee and breakfast was delicious . I would definitely come back to eat here . The customer service was excellent they make me feel very comfortable. They welcome me with a big smile and a friendly face. I would definitely give a 5 read more

I recomend this restaurant the sandwiches are alsome i when there the othere day and i ask the staff to make my sandwich with 3 meat they did and the sandwich was delicious. The staff is so frenly they smile the give you what you ask for they never said no. I definitely will go back. read more

This place is great... if you plan on never coming here again! There's coffee that tastes like Folgers Instant, nothing tastes homemade, and the "fresh" juices have way too much sugar and taste like they are from a can... Spend your money elsewhere. read more

No. Just no. If I'm going to pay a price for an item it better be worth it. It's sad because it's not about the quality of the food, it's the quantity for the price. I've gotten many empanadas which are EMPTY, I've gotten sandwiches there twice that come with what looks like a counted number of fries. Ridiculous. I don't mind paying 10 dollars maybe a little more for a burger, but it better look good and be a reasonable helping! I've given up on this place. Not coming back. read more

I tried it for the first time today and ordered their philly cheese steak with fries. The philly cheesesteak was delicious, I'd have to say the best philly I ever had. I am giving it 4 stars and not 5 simply because I ordered "philly cheesesteak with fries" I didn't know it already came with fries. Therefore, I was charged for an extra order of fries. I think the employee should have told me it already comes with fries, instead of giving me an entire big order of fries that I had to pay for and not eat :/ read more

We did pickup of Empanadas -- the guava & cheese and chicken & cheese were especially delicious. Check out this hidden treasure.

We live in the neighborhood and are so happy to find this colorful Dominican comfort food Cafe in our area. The lovely women working the counter and kitchen suggested we try the da Dominican chimi which was like a tasty flat bread spicy burger. The dollar empanadas very tasty and reasonable . read more

Great place. The person in charge is always upbeat and cheerful. The chimi lured me in, however I didn't set any high hopes or expectations. I knew this wasn't a 5 star restaurant and let the food speak for itself. It did just that. If you're looking for a good spot for lunch, great prices and a nice cup of coffee (or country club soda), this is the spot for you. Don't listen to the other reviews, but as I always say, go and try it yourself before making any decisions. I'll be going back tomorrow for lunch as I do 3 days of the week. read more

My husband and I discovered this place on Grubhub and loved it the first time so we continued to order from here, well every single time after that there has been a mistake with the food, they usually take about an hour to arrive which is pretty normal with Grubhub but half the time we've ordered it has taken about 2 hours to arrive and then the food is cold because they insist on sending their only delivery guy out with 5-6 orders at a time (yeap the girl on the phone told me herself when I called questioning where my food was). Well today I've had it, my chicken avocado salad was missing the bacon, the eggs were overcooked, and the amount of chicken was just sad. I called Grubhub and they gave me a $5 credit themselves but the restaurant refuses to give me a refund for the mistake they made. Ridiculous! I literally never leave reviews but this made me so upset I just had to. The food itself is decent but it's freaking Russian roulette with these people, you never know if your meal will arrive cold, incomplete, overcooked, late, or if it'll arrive at all. It's just not worth the headaches, we've decided to never order from here again. read more
