We recently visited Tucanes and absolutely loved it. I went with my wife and her sister, and we all…read moreenjoyed a delicious, authentic Costa Rican meal. The highlight for us was the gallo pinto -- perfectly seasoned, comforting, and true to the flavors you'd expect back home. It tasted just like something you'd enjoy in a Costa Rican kitchen on a Sunday morning. The service was warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere made us feel immediately comfortable. Portions were generous, everything was freshly prepared, and the presentation showed real care. It's rare to find a place that captures the genuine spirit of Costa Rican cuisine, but Tucanes truly delivers. This is the kind of restaurant you want to return to again and again. Highly recommended -- a real 5-star experience.

For over the past two decades, these chefs have elevated traditional ingredients and techniques to new heights. We've passed this restaurant many times on a busy River Road in Fair Lawn and decided to stop in. Upon entering this warm and cozy interior without a reservation as first-timers, my partner and I managed to locate a table outside on this summer-like day. Juany's Cafe is a cozy, family-run establishment making a great impression as a place for brunch on locals and visitors. The owner is Peruvian, and the Mexican cook began in the kitchens of his homeland, known for its authentic Latin-inspired cuisine. We decided on the Latin bowl with marinated steak accompanied by black beans, sautéed veggies, avocado, and sweet plantains & Grilled Chicken Burritos with Sweet Potato Fries. Complimentary fruit salad started our meal. All ingredients were fresh, and the seasonings were unique with their bold flavors. There was a wait time for food as everything was homemade, made to order, and well presented. The prices were more than reasonable considering the quality of the food. Our server was friendly and accommodating. The service was a bit slow due to a large party group. Brunch is the norm here, but we can't wait to try it out for dinner.

I had the arepa special that came with a side salad and hubby had the huevos ranchero. The black beans were some of the best beans ive ever had. The arepas were pretty much perfect as well. The service was very good as well, with the owner coming to apologize after my order was very wrong and I received eggs Benedict instead of the arepa special. The restaurant is clean and the Latin inspired design is very pretty. Three kids meals and w adult ones and it came to about $100. Pricey for breakfast but I very much enjoy my food
