    Beef soup
    Ana M.

    Everytime I pass by this place, I get a heavenly whiff of their delicious fresh baked bread and pastries. I finally had the chance to try this place out and came here for dinner. We started off with drinks: horchata, arroz con leche, and hot chocolate. The horchata was sweet, cinnamon-y, and tasted exactly how a horchata should taste. The hot chocolate was nothing special - it tasted like heated up Nesquik. The arroz con leche is a milky rice drink and is a perfect drink for the winter time. It tasted like condensed milk and the rice at the bottom pairs perfectly with the milk. It was my first time trying this drink and I am already craving another one! For appetizers, we shared the tamales and plantains. It was my first time trying out tamales and tbh, I was not a big fan of the texture. The texture was similar to gelatin. It felt weird to eat rice as a gelatin block, but the flavors were good. As for the plantains, I was pleasantly surprised with how good this dish was. The crispiness and sweetness of the plantains tasted amazing when dipped in the white sauce! As per our main course, the dish that stood out most to me was the carne asada steak. The steak flavors were really good and tasted delicious with the rice and beans! Next time, I'll probably order the arroz con leche again because it was really good. I need to try their pastries next! Jireh is a local gem and I would recommend trying their food (especially the drinks and plantains). Yum!

    Jireh is a pretty lowkey spot that is easy to miss as you walk down the block. It doesn't have an enticing storefront that makes you want to go inside. The food however, is a different story. I finally decided to try this spot with some friends after hearing about it from my barber. There are certain items here that I would most definitely come back for and that has got to be the arroz con leche, plantains, and the carne asada. First off the arroz con leche was just the right amount of cinnamon sweetness and viscosity from the rice. A perfect hot drink for those cold days. The plantains were surprisingly much better than a lot of other places due to its crispy texture complimented with the creamy white sauce. Lastly the carne asada with rice and beans that my barber recommended. Usually when I order carne asada from a hole in the wall, they always overcook the steak even though I tell them medium rare, but not here! The steak was a perfect medium with a very prominent grilled char flavor. The rice had a yellow-ness to it and somewhat of a chicken flavor which was perfect with the beans. If you love spicy I'd definitely douse it with some of their green chili sauce. We tried other items on the menu as well but those did not stand out as much. I'd say the items I listed are the perfect pair of beverage, dessert, and entree. I definitely have to try their freshly baked breads next time cause the smell is just too tempting!

    The food here is absolutely delicious! If you're looking for a happy hour that's actually worth it,…read morethis is the place. We ordered the wings, oysters, and the paella. Everything was excellent, but the paella was the star of the meal my wife couldn't put her fork down. The drinks were cold, refreshing, and paired perfectly with the food. The only downside was the service at the front. The host seemed a little unfriendly, which wasn't the best first impression. Thankfully, the manager stepped in, was very welcoming, and seated us in the back, which ended up being the perfect spot for a quick bite and a couple of drinks. Overall, the food and drinks definitely outweigh the small hiccup at the beginning. We'll definitely be back for happy hour again.

    Maybe I should blame my friend for giving this place such high praise. I ordered their chaulafan…read morerice which was actually really good and so were their chicken wings very flavorful. My friend ordered the steak and shrimp skewers when they received the food the shrimp was raw was not cooked at all and they weren't gonna say anything so I had to step in and tell the server that the shrimp was raw which they recognized and they ended up bringing out cooked shrimp. Very weird. Doesn't seem like the healthiest thing to do for that. The fact that they didn't discount anything for that experience was wild too and it was hot as hell inside, I know it's summer but let's get a fan or something in to rotation. With that said our server was great and understanding. Will I come here again, maybe not top on my list but maybe sometime in the future. 3stars l

    What a feast and amazing service!…read more Please note that the menu does change every so often so certain dishes may no longer be available. First off, they have this great spicy homemade hot sauce: scotch bonnet, turmeric, mustard, and a fruit that adds a nice sweetness to combat the heat. It's spicy and delicious and they can even ship it to you! ($15) Ok ok so back to the menu. They have great appetizers to share and tacos (that come in 3) that are shareable as well. At this time we tried the- Watermelon salad Hearts of Palm Ceviche Squash blossom quesadilla My absolute favorite was the ceviche! Fresh and super flavorful. The squash blossom quesadilla was packed with cheese and great with that hot sauce. The scallops were cooked perfectly and the bowl of rice and black beans is a hearty flavorful side. Tried a couple of desserts but my favorite was the almond cake. It was light and not too sweet. Honestly, I don't think they can do anything wrong here!

    Sazon Latino, located on Main Street in Boonton just a few steps from the NJ Transit station, is…read moredefinitely a hidden gem. It's a very casual, cafeteria-style spot with a semi-open kitchen, but don't let the simplicity fool you -- the food is incredible and the staff here is friendly and patient. The highlight of the experience is the small buffet that features a variety of freshly-made Latin cuisine -- including pulled pork, chicken and beef stews, and other traditional Latin entrees and sides. You can build your own plate by selecting one or more entrees and sides - which are priced accordingly. As a 'gringo' who wasn't entirely sure what everything was, I really appreciated them taking the extra time to explain all the different options and give me their honest recommendations. The counterstaff is bilingual and were pretty patient with my elementary school level Spanish vocabulary and grammar. I ended up going with the pulled pork platter with two sides ($7) and it was terrific -- the perfectly seasoned and tender pork, black beans and rice, and macaroni salad were delicious and very filling. You can tell they use fresh ingredients, and the portions are very generous for the price. If you're looking for authentic, home-style Latino food in a laid-back setting, this is the spot! PRO TIP #1: Bring a bottle of wine or beer from home to enjoy with your meal. Sazon Latino is a BYOB establishment and does not serve alcohol. PRO TIP #2: Sazon Latino offers free off-street parking in a small lot behind the restaurant and there's plenty of free on-street parking on Main Street.

Overall, the food was OK, the presentation of the fish at another table looked very nice, but the style of food is not really seasoned and so it's a relatively non-gastronomic meal but you leave feeling full. Maybe I expected more because I like Mexican and Thai food, but went into it with an open mind. It was clear that a lot of local Latinas went there, and that is a good sign that it fits the cultural expectation. So if you are Latina and know what to expect it is a good restaurant to try
