Mofongo and Sausage
Harry P.

I ordered online, been trying to get food from a local restaurant every week to support small business in this tough time in 2020. I ordered the Mofongos de Longaniza, and it did not disappoint. First off for the price they give you a ton of food, easily two meals for me. The sausage is bomb, crispy, a little spice amazing!!! The mashed plantains were a little dry, good flavor, I am sure getting them dine in would be way better (won't hold that against them). I will be back to try more of their extensive menu.

Res Guisada - Beef stew with huge side order of Moro
Monica D.

Pretty good spot. This is my second time ordering from here. I got the beef stew and it came with a huge side order of moro. My mom got the Bacalao and although it tasted good, it was shreds so finally it really had no texture. We also got empanadas which were very good, large and not greasy. Delivery, again, was right on time and very friendly.

This is my first time I had ordered from this place as I had heard beautiful things. We found a cockroach!

worst experience ever!!!! This is our first time ordering as we heard great things.... when we found this in our food!! Nasty and unhealthy!

Chicken was tough,
Michele D.

This is a decent Dominican restaurant that recently opened in Garfield. I was excited to try it. I first started off trying their chicken but ended up tossing it after a couple bites because it just wasn't good. Very rubbery and didn't taste fresh. I have though been back a couple times and they have redeemed themselves although I haven't had chicken again but my husband has. Their beef is delicious and so are their empanadas. Can't go wrong with breakfast either.

Mangu with hair

Was really enjoying my mangu from uber eats until i i found a hair in my platanos i was on yelp before hand to see some reviews and i saw mostly good ones and a couple bad ones here and there and was praying i didnt get some BS wrong with my order i was more than half way done with the food ‍‍

Ordered empanadas de yuca from this place for the first time and when I got home and open the bag this is what I found. The empanadas are not completely cooked and it's full of oil. I had good expectations from this place and drove all the way from Pompton Lakes to get this Junk!!! Please if you care about Dominican food, get this straightened not for me, but for the reputation of Dominican food!!

Disgusting

Lula's Latin Cuisine - Black beans

Lula's Latin Cuisine

4.3(44 reviews)
1.8 mi

Have passed Lula's Latin Cuisine a few times recently and finally gave it a try last night…read more.. It's a small place with just a few tables, but we were grabbing food to go anyway and they had a nice variety/selection of prepared food at the counter. So, my wife and I were in the mood for Pernil (roast pork) and it looked good. She got white rice and black beans, and I got the yellow rice and red beans. There was (among other things to choose from) some good looking steak, chicken, soup, and Mangu (a dish made with mashed plantains). It also looked as though they had recently run out of boiled Yuca (because there was a near-empty warmer tray with red onions and garlic oil). Before we left, we picked up their menu and (even though the outside sign billed them as "Dominican food") looking through their menu made it apparent they offered MANY other things to order. There was Cuban sandwiches, Mofongo, and a LOT more. We got home and were amazed with the quality, freshness and (above all) perfect flavor of the food. The Pernil stood out for how juicy and perfectly spiced it was. There was just the right amount of salt, and I said it might be right up there with the the best I have had. The value for the price was outstanding, and there was enough leftover between us for another meal. I woke up this morning to find out that other meal was a late night snack for my son last night. LOL. Will definitely return to give this place another shot!!!

Good clean excellent tasty food, never had a problem with my order s and delivery is always fastread more

La Cocina De Cristina - Dominican Spaghetti with Dominican Salami & Tostones

La Cocina De Cristina

4.1(9 reviews)
3.5 mi

I stumbled upon this establishment when I was searching for a Latin restaurant in Grubhub. Last…read morenight we decided against delivery and opted to drive out and dine in. This place has a parking lot next door but it seems that this lot belongs to an auto repair shop not the restaurant, it has tow-away signs but we parked in the lot because it was after hours. The restaurant is spacious, with plenty of tables, the music is low, the decor is low-key with some Winter motiffs. I told my wife that I was expecting more of an Island/Caribbean decoration. My wife ordered the Asopaó de Camarones (Shrimp Soupy Rice) & got Spaghetti with Dominican Salami, Tostones & Avocado. Hot tea to drink. I expected the Spaghetti to come with Dominican Salami as an option (this is how Dominican Spaghetti is prepared and served) but unfortunately it does not, the Spaghetti is plain & adding the Dominican Salami is extra. My wife's Asopaó was full of shrimps, very tasty she loved it as did i. My Spaghetti with Dominican Salami was pretty good. The Spaghetti were al dente enough (not too soft nor too hard), flavorful, Dominican Salami chunks were hearty (I was hoping that the Salami would be stewed but it was fried instead), the avocado was fresh & unblemished, & the tostones were perfectly golden fried & crispy. Ashley & Stacey were our servers and they were very friendly, full of smiles, on-point & honest. I said honest, because after paying the bill we asked for a pen to add a tip and she explained to us thar the tip (which is an automatic 15%) is already included. Which surprised us, usually tip is included with a party of 6 or more, we are only a couple. My wife and I always tip between 10% & 20% depending on the service of course. But no matter how bad, horrible was the service we tip at least the 10%. We detest restaurants that force us to tip. We believe we have the right to give a certain amount of our hard earned money ourselves, without forcing our hand. Because of this practice of including the automatic 15% tip, no matter the size of the dining party, I give a rating of 3 stars. If it wasn't for this forceful tipping, I would have given this place an easy 5 stars. So beware when dining in at La Cocina de Cristina, while the food is amazing, their tipping policy will force you to shell out 15% of your bill, whether the service was good or not. We will NOT dine in at this place ever again. If anything, I will order via Grubhub (which allows me to tip accordingly) or order take-out.

I happened to be in hackensack this past weekend and had a hankering for chicharron and tostones…read more I wound up getting their picadera (sampler) plate and it was off the chain. The chicharron, longaniza, and chicken were fried to perfection and the tostones were good too. I prefer my tostones a little crisper which is the only reason for the 4 stars and not 5 but that's just my preference. The place is beautifully decorated with dominican and it is very clean and well put together. Very nice vibe inside.
