This was my first visit to Bussin Empanadas in Avenel, NJ, and I had a good experience overall. The…read moreservice was great, and the clerk was friendly and welcoming. The potato ball had a flavorful beef filling, but the potato itself was a little bland and slightly over-fried. 8/10. The Dominican Cuban sandwich was just okay for me. I wasn't a fan of the cabbage, it was a bit messy to eat, and the pork flavor seemed a little off. 7/10. The yuca fries were outstanding--crispy, delicious, and even better with both the signature pink sauce and the cilantro garlic sauce. 9.5/10. I also tried the chicken, pork, and cheese empanadas. At $4.75 each, they're generously stuffed and a good value. The chicken and pork were both tasty but a little dry, so I'd give each an 8/10. The cheese empanada was my favorite--gooey and delicious, though it could use a touch more salt. 9/10. Both dipping sauces were excellent. The pink sauce had a classic Dominican mayo-ketchup base with garlic and a nice tang, while the green cilantro garlic sauce was fresh and flavorful. 9/10 for both. The restaurant feels more like a takeout spot than a dine-in destination. There is seating available, but the décor is pretty minimal. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the empanadas, fries, and sauces, and I look forward to trying more of the menu.

Second time coming here, but first time taking the time to write a review…read more The staff are very welcoming and friendly which matches the ambiance of the small place. I can always appreciate when a resturant has good vibes and people. The food came out quick and fresh. I had the torta which was passable and the fries were just the right amount of crispy. Nothing else to note. My husband got the tacos which he rated a 7/10, which is quite a good rating for him as he is a Mexican Texan and adores his tacos. One of the better mexican restaurants we have had in Jersey but still on the hunt for one comparable to the ones in Texas!

Harrys was parked at a distillery we were at. My wife and I wanted to grab a snack while enjoying…read moreour cocktails. We are so glad Harry's was there! We had 3 empanadas (beef, chicken, and artichoke, spinach, and cheese). These were a meal on their own. They were giant and packed with filling. They were hot, crispy, and had so much flavor. We also had loaded tostones (Deep fried Plantains topped with Chicken and homemade cheese sauce. Again, this could have been a meal on its own. The serving sizes are massive and can feed a large family. If that was not enough, we were advised to try the Alcapurrias (Green banana and yautia masa, filled with season beef & Deep fried). Yes, we went overboard but it was well worth it. Needless to say, we did not eat dinner that night. We are now Harry's fans and look to see if the truck will be near us. If you see the truck, stop, and have a great meal!

So, I went in there not knowing what I wanted and I asked for their recommendation. And of course they recommended Bandeja Paisa. I'm pretty sure you can order it with whatever protein you want, I got it with beef, a thin-sliced piece of steak. I also ordered chicken tacos. I didn't know that there was gonna be so much food. I ate the tacos first - they're big, filling, and made with really fresh ingredients. So delicious, esp with some hot sauce. The Bandeja Paisa is pretty much good for two people. Everything was delicious and well-seasoned. I'll be back

Also Those empanadas with special hot sauce were yummy . I will definitely be back to give this place a try for lunch or dinner very soon.

Very quiet and low-key spot that many people might miss…read more Great for a quick late night snack or lunch. These empanadas are baked not fried. Extremely flaky crispy and filled to the brim! They have a lot of different flavors to choose from as well as a dessert empanada. The staff was very sweet and explained the different menu options and combinations that you can get with the empanadas as well as drinks and sauces. They have a long list of Housemade sauces so I definitely recommend trying some. There was no indoor seating from what I saw, but there is plenty of outdoor seating right in front of the restaurant.
