    Sweet Chili Shrimp Bowl

    Very small but nice spot music playing very welcoming. I ordered two bowls pineapple express and sweet chili shrimp added chicken to it. Also ordered fried ravioli and jalapeno poppers , first off if you order a bowl no need to order anything else the bowls are huge. They shrimp are jumbo and cooked perfectly. The jalapeno poppers and ravioli were good as well, we really enjoyed the food will definitely go back and try some other food.

    I came to this spot after seeing their Facebook advertisement for Lobster Weekend -- and I'm so glad I did! I ordered for pick-up and was immediately greeted by the girl at the counter who was very friendly and attentive. Great customer service -- I wish I had gotten her name! The place itself is small, with a hole-in-the-wall feel, but has a modern, contemporary vibe and great lighting. Limited seating, but cozy, and it's BYOB! I ordered the lobster bisque (honestly one of the best I've ever had), lobster tacos, lobster mac & cheese, and the twin lobster tail specials. Everything was incredibly fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. The food was so good, I didn't even realize I forgot to take pictures until I was completely done! I can't wait to go back and try more from their menu.

    What a great place!!! Always an entertainment, food is outstanding made from scratch, worth to wait a little. We got to try quesadillas which were outstanding, also chicken wings and few other delicacies off the menu. I can't wait to go back to try some burgers this time! Definitely must go and visit Hector and his tiny joint. Well worth it. And it's BYOB

    You had me at quesadilla! Hector's Bistro has quickly become my family's go-to takeout joint! The variety of food, reasonable pricing and exceptional customer service is unmatched! Hector's ability to chef up mouthwatering food makes this Bistro a complete gem! So far we've ordered the chicken, birria, shrimp, jerk chicken & Polish quesadillas, as well as the jalapeño poppers... all of which were nothing short of amazing! Can't wait to continue to explore the rest of the menu!

    This is a very interesting place. The food we had was excellent, the buildout of this restaurant is welcoming. Small place with BYOB for dine in service is appreciated. Many people were ordering and picking up food for take out. So the volume of meals being served is impressive. The menu has a great variety of dishes with a strong and varied quesadilla selection. I recommend giving it a try.

    First time here but we will definitely be back. They are doing big things in a little space. Great food, super friendly staff and huge portions. The menu offers something for everyone with some surprisingly unique options.

    This place was highly recommended from someone that worked at Newark Liberty Airport. I stopped by…read moreon a saturday. I ordered Bacalao with brown rice, maduros and red beans on the side. The dining area is 'family style' which is kool! I got mine 'to go' because I miss my sofa. The food was onpoint!!! The bacalao and the rice had great flavor (5). I was too tired/sleepy to write a review after I ate. I will definitely return, maybe I'll give 'family style' a try.

    I decided to give this place a try after seeing a TikToker's review. When we got there, my husband…read morementioned that the food didn't quite look the same as what was shown in the videos, and I have to agree. However, the flavors were definitely there, which is what matters most. I tried the alcapurria, and while it was decent, I've had better. The chicken inside was a little dry and could have used more seasoning and flavor. On the other hand, the chicken empanada was really good. The chicken was tender, flavorful, and had a nice seasoned taste that stood out. That's definitely something I would order again. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of my lunch, but I also ordered pernil with rice and gandules, as well as baked chicken with rice and gandules. As someone who loves pernil, I have to say that Puerto Ricans make some of the best pernil. It's always well-seasoned, flavorful, and tastes clean rather than overly greasy. The pernil here did not disappoint. The rice and gandules were also very good. While it doesn't quite compare to my husband's aunt's homemade version, it was still packed with flavor and complemented the meal perfectly. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would come back to try more items from the menu. If you're in the area and craving Puerto Rican food, I think it's worth giving this place a try.
