Ordered again today for mom who ordered the cod w/rice & beans (bacalao con arroz blanco y habichuela guisada). I ordered the pork shoulder (pernil) sandwich w/a morir soñando shake. Everything was freshly cooked & perfectly packaged. The food was still hot & I live 20 mins away. When you go in person, the atmosphere is friendly & professional. Keep up the great work! Pedí nuevamente hoy para mi mamá, que pidió bacalao con arroz blanco y habichuela guisada. Pedí el sándwich de pernil con un batido de morir soñando. Todo estaba recién hecho y perfectamente empaquetado. La comida todavía estaba caliente y vivo a 20 minutos de distancia. Cuando vas en persona, el ambiente es agradable y profesional. ¡Sigue con el gran trabajo! read more

The food have that good ole mother touch. It will fill your soul with sooo much joy. Thank you for the great food!

I just found out about this place the other week. I went there and enjoyed the food very much. Its a small buffet with an assortment of choices. The service was very good as well. I highly recommend this place. I'm definitely going there again.... read more

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. read more

Small and limited seating. Food is really good and prices are affordable. Service was quick since they had a few people working, no table service read more

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. read more

Please don't order or eat at this place. My wife and I ordered food and we both got food poisoning. Food is definitely not fresh and dangerous for the consumer!!! read more

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

El Rincon Cibaeno - This is my first time I had ordered from this place as I had heard beautiful things. We found a cockroach! - Dominican Near Me - Garfield, New Jersey

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. read more

Great food and service. I wish the seating area was bigger. But always good food, no matter what we order. This is another favorite of my husband and I for Spanish food. read more

I love this place. I been ordering for. 2 years but the last 4 times the steak is SUPER SALTY!! Demasiado salado. No se puede ni comer. read more

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!! read more

One of the best if not THE best dominican spots in the area. Their sandwiches are BOMB and the chimis are sick. Service is always perfect, never had anything ever wrong with my orders and they're trying to always treat you like family. read more

Ordered from here a few times now and have yet to be disappointed! The empanadas are so good I usually order either chicken or beef. Also I would recommend ordering the pink sauce on the side it's really good. I also recommend the chicharrón de pollo sin hueso (boneless chicken chunks). The Moro isn't the best I've had, but still good. It's a good amount of food you get for the price and it's all tasty. I'll be ordering again!! read more

they pickup the phone and give you attitude when you order..never ordering from here again. Also hung up the phone on me because I wanted to modify my order. read more

The food here is usually great. They have more generous portion sizes and fresher ingredients than other local restaurants. The maduros are great, and the empanadas are big and reasonably priced. The staff is always kind too! read more

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 ‍‍ read more

Disgusting is all I can say. Ordered Uber eats and found an acrylic fingernail in the chicken. How utterly disgusting. Things like this should not happen at a restaurant! read more

Little dominican gem in Garfield! The food was plentiful and had delicious "sazon." The chicharrónes de pollo empanizado sin hueso, were incredible. Reminded me of the original picapollos Victorina in DR when they were on point. You can tell the food is made with love. Un buen guiso. read more

I ordered the Eggplant dish with red beans and tostones. The food looked good but it was salty. Also the tostones tasted like they were fried too late in the plátano cycle. The best part was the jugo de chinola and I like that the straws are paper. read more

Just moved to the area and of course had to try the local Dominican spot being Dominican myself. Ordered via UberEats; food was prepared quickly which allowed for early delivery, always a plus. I'm low carb so can't attest to the rice and beans but from what I did get, I wasn't disappointed.. I ordered the chicharron, pulled pork and salad. Chicharron was crispy on top with well seasoned meat attached. Came with lots of lime and was amazing both when I got it and the next day when I heated it up in the air fryer. Pulled pork had amazing flavor and would be perfect with some rice. Salad was basic coming with only Cabbage, corn and tomatoes but fared okay with the pork. Definitely coming back to try some other items and on a cheat day when I can try the rice and beans! read more

This is the best Dominican restaurant that I've tried near Elmwood Park! The pernil is so juicy and tasty, makes me think of my family's thanksgiving and Xmas! Yummm! I'm hooked! The only bad thing I can say is that they are closed on Sundays. read more

(I ordered via uber eats) oof this food hit the spot. I got pernil, mangu, papa fritas, y empanadas. The portions are huge and the pernil was extremely tasty and flavorful. Strongly suggest pernil, mangu was good as well. Overall 8.5/10 read more

Wow food was amazing! I was really shocked because this was my first time trying this restaurant. Food taste authentic and the Empanada was one of best I had since moving to Jersey from the bronx/New York 3 years ago. I would definitely be ordering from this place again ! - Romeo E. read more

Ordered through Uber eats and was very satisfied with the speed of my delivery and even the food..... until I bit down on a piece of hard, sharp plastic. Disappointing, because otherwise it was delicious. I had to throw the rest away. 2 stars because the morir soñando was good and plastic free. read more

El Rincon Cibaeno - At first I thought it was glass. Luckily, only plastic. Still a shame. - Dominican Near Me - Garfield, New Jersey

Ok so yesterday I was on my own for dinner. Decided to run here and get some white rice, red beans and tostonos. I ate half and saved the rest for lunch the next day.Everything tasted good. Except that 6 hours later I got some serious runs. I was in the bathroom at least four times. since I had nothing else to eat that day I am sure it was from something I ate here. Sorry never again. Needless to say first thing the next morning I tossed the rest. read more

I love tasting new cuisines, and I have never eaten from an authentic Dominican restaurant. First, the hospitality and customer service was excellent. I was welcomed and greeted very warmly. I asked for recommendations because I am a vegetarian, and the majority of the menu consisted of meat and seafood. I ordered the cheese empanadas, Sandwich de Queso with avocado, flan, and tres leches. The cheese empanadas were heavily stuffed with cheddar cheese and deep-fried. However, the empanadas were not oily, and the dough was super crispy. The sandwich with cheese, avocado, and a special garlic sauce were superb. The sauce was made in-house and perfectly accompanied the sandwich. The outside was toasted well and crunchy. Lastly, the two desserts: flan and tres leches, were simply delicious. The flan, caramel pudding or custard, was milky and sweet. Also, it was drenched in sugar syrup and made it extra soft. The tres leches are my favorite Hispanic dessert. It is a spongy cake soaked in three different types of milk: evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream. The cake was buttery, soft, light, and covered in the milk mixture. I would visit the restaurant again and highly recommend trying it yourself. read more

Uber Eats order, mad late. The pernil was soggy and unseasoned. I threw some adobo on and ate some. The arroz con gandules was iight. I could have gone with 1.5-2 stars if not for the empanadas, which were flat out disrespectful with mostly air inside. The chicken ones had dry unseasoned white meat. The beef ones had dry non-stewed beef, not as bad as the chicken. Should have canceled the order once I was notified they were out of oxtail. To be fair, majority of spots I try just don't know how or don't put the effort to season and cook this food properly. read more

Ordered with uber eats..Pretty good food, taste and packing. (Mangu, mofongo de camarón and bisteck) took a little more than expected but I got a $10 from uber.. the wait was worth it though. read more

I would not even give a one star , The worst customer service in the world , How i ordered food for my employees at 11:00 AM , Which was earlier than usual and because i now it can be busy on Saturday , How i had to call 2 hours later and the food still have not arrive . Now is 1:41 pm and the food just arrive over 2 and half our later . When i called the restaurant , all they kept saying Mi Amor driver be there in 5 minutes , your bunch of liars . If your too busy then stop taking deliver orders to catch up with what your suppose to handle . Stop lying to customers . SO UN PROFESSIONAL ON THE HIGHEST LEVEL . DRIVER WAS THE ONLY PERSON THAT TOLD ME EXACTLY THE TRUTH ! My employees went home for the day with out my lunch offer , Embarrassing . read more

The mofongo appetizer was not good!! The micro shrimp smelled fishy and it was very dry, cheap dish but the quality was poor!

I just wrote a review for my order the other day and gave 5 stars because the food was amazing. But today, today I give them a zero. They forgot the meat the maduros were burnt. Then we called and didn't offer to deliver the food that was missing. They said they will credit us when we re order. DEFINITELY NOT ORDERING AGAIN !!!!! read more

Food is good... Prices are fair. No one speaks English. It stops me from ordering more often because when I go in no one understands why I'm there. If the communication was earlier I'd give it more stars read more

Wanted to order Dominican food and this place had a good rating but as it turned out the portions are super small compared to Dominican restaurants I have been too. This was super disappointing and I will never order here again. This is what I get for trying out other places I will just stick to what I know. They where also very late I was not able to eat cause I was already at work. read more

My husband and I were staying at a nearby hotel and after a night of drinking this was everything we wanted. My husband was trying to order a little of everything it looked so good. We ordered 2 orders of mangu con 4 golpes and spaghetti with chicken that was in their tray of food. Everything was so good and all for $25. read more

Eh food sucks either too salty or not enough salt and delivery takes all day even if you live in the same town lol

Amazing food, super fresh and tasty. The stew chicken is a family favorite. Beef stew is also good and the moro de gandules is beyond delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. Tried empanada de yuca for the first time and it is now my FAVORITE!! read more

Local, fresh and authentic. One of my favorite spots to grab Dominican food. Delivery has always been timely and food has always arrived hot. I recommend this spot for anyone in the area craving Dominican food! read more
