Maduros
Nicholas A.

I was super excited to try this place. As a Puerto Rican, Mofongo is in my dna since childhood. If this restaurant calls itself the house of mofongo, I want in! It was by far the worst mofongo I've ever had. Sin hueso means boneless. The mofongo is supposed to come plain with boneless chicken chunks on the side. The boneless chicken chunks were awesome. I'll give them that but whatever bones they took out of the chicken, they threw them into the mofongo. I was crunching on bones every 3rd bite. The bones were inside of a plain mofongo with no meat in it..... The beans had a skin on top as if it had not been stirred all day. On top of that, my wife's steak was so overly cooked it was inedible. I'm all for sweet maduros but these were so sweet they tasted like there was syrup on top. We won't be coming back here lol.

The food was great and the service was excellent. The waitress was really nice. I will be coming back with my mother

Once again, this restaurant does not disappoint!! Yarisa always takes the order perfectly! I've been living in ELMWOOD PARK, NJ, for the past six years, and this has been the best Spanish food I've encountered! The roasted chicken, steak, and chicharrón de Pollo are always perfect and tasty! My family is always satisfied when I order from Casa De Mofongo! Lo mejor de NJ! Gracias Yarisa!

There is outdoor and indoor dining but since it was blazing hot out I opted to stay inside in the cool AC. Came for brunch on a Sunday so had to try their sangria. It was really refreshing and perfect for a warm day. For entrees, we ordered the short rib hash, chicken and waffles, and the steak and eggs. I had a little of each, but my favorite was the short rib hash. Great flavor and the sauce was fantastic. The steak had a perfect cook on it, and the fried chicken was crispy and flavorful as well. The server was friendly and extremely attentive. He recommended a good dessert which we ended up splitting. When in doubt go with the chocolate brownie Esther vanilla ice cream !

We didn't have a reservation, but they were still able to seat us in the dining room as long as we could wrap up before 1:30, which we appreciated. I wasn't super hungry so we shared the crispy cauliflower and lamb ribs from the appetizer menu. The crispy cauliflower was excellent -- hot, actually crispy, and not drowning in sauce which I really appreciated. The lamb ribs came over labneh (a yogurt base) and the first plate arrived with the lamb cold. I asked our waitress if that was intentional and she said only the labneh should be cold. They immediately replaced it with a fresh order and handled it really well, which I appreciated. Great service recovery and overall a really enjoyable brunch spot with a lively atmosphere.

Our server, Natasha, was amazing and took the time to explain all their promotions, including a great happy hour menu. We tried the Tussi Roll, Dominican Power, and Cuban Tempora sushi rolls. Each one was full of flavor, and I was honestly impressed by how good they were. My friend ordered the Bad Bunny drink and the Beso de Coco. She enjoyed both, but the coconut one was her favorite and she definitely recommends it for coconut lovers. Parking isn't the greatest in the area, but this place is absolutely worth the effort to find a spot.Overall, I had a great experience here and will definitely be coming back with more friends.

The service was great our server knew it was my first time and she was so sweet in sharing the menu and some customer favorites with my group. The ambiance was really cute!

The only downside is parking it's street parking in a congested area of Paterson but i found parking in 10 minutes max.

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels both comfortable and genuine--like a place where everyone belongs. The menu strikes that perfect balance between classic favorites and creative twists, with every dish clearly made with care and quality ingredients. Whether you're stopping in for a casual bite or a full evening out, the food consistently delivers--flavorful, satisfying, and thoughtfully presented. What really sets this place apart, though, is the service. The staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome without ever being overbearing, adding a personal touch that's hard to find these days. Dave the manager was just such a nice guy and so easy to talk too! All in all, it's more than just a restaurant--it's a cornerstone of the community. The kind of place you'll find yourself coming back to again and again.

They have so many wing options, making it one of my favorite places to grab wings. They're always fresh and made to order, and there are plenty of flavors to choose from. Whether you're watching the game, meeting up with friends, or just craving wings, Blue 42 is definitely worth checking out. I highly recommend it--and they're also available on Uber Eats!

When it's late at night and you suddenly get a craving for wings, Blue 42 is the way to go!…read more We ordered online and it took about 30 minutes to get to us despite being a little further out. They have 175 wing flavors to choose from. So there's something for everyone. We decided to try 3; Cajun dry rub, OMFG, and Buffalo cool ranch Dorito. First of all, their wings are crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked on the inside. The seasonings / sauces are well distributed and generous so each wing is perfectly coated. Starting off with the Cajun dry rub, the flavors were spot on. This one was my favorite out of the 3. It wasn't overly salty, which I usually find with Cajun flavors. OMFG is a Parmesan peppercorn and garlic buffalo blend. You definitely get the spice of the buffalo sauce with the aftertaste of Parmesan. It's absolutely delicious but to me it tasted mostly like buffalo sauce. Buffalo cool ranch Dorito, as the name suggests is also a buffalo sauce base with cool ranch Dorito crumbs. This one tastes just like the OMFG to me, but with the additional crunch. Overall, best wings ever, will definitely be ordering more!

First off, we couldn't even find the place. When we finally did, the front was completely blacked out and the security guard had on a bulletproof vest... sketchy. But we went in anyway. The first floor had a weird smell, so we went upstairs. The vibe was better up there, and the host was really nice. The decor was totally on theme, very Cowboy Carter. The brunch menu looked decent, but weirdly we couldn't order any appetizers just the brunch entrees. Kinda annoying, but whatever. We got the shrimp and grits, and the chicken and waffles (served on a skewer). Oh and we had to pay right when we ordered. Like... why? That was definitely a red flag. But surprisingly, the food was actually so good. As for drinks, I got something with rum and it was solid. My partner ordered the $30 mimosa pitcher, and it was mostly juice way too sweet. Definitely not worth it. The food is 11/10, but not my everyday go to spot!!! Try it out and let me know your thoughts

A quick heads-up: on Google Maps it's listed as Ceviche 517, but the sign on the building says Tavern 517, which initially threw us off. We were circling around until we decided to just trust the physical address--and we're so glad we did. As soon as we walked in, the name didn't even matter anymore. The decor is stunning--definitely has an upscale, Instagram-worthy vibe with a modern lounge feel. We might've come a little early because the place was quiet when we arrived, but that worked in our favor as we got to settle in comfortably and explore the menu. Drinks were a mixed experience. We tried the margarita flight, which included coconut, passion fruit, and strawberry. The coconut and passion fruit margaritas were absolutely delicious--fresh, balanced, and memorable. The strawberry, however, was a big miss--tasted like kid's medicine and no one at the table could finish it. We also ordered a drink called something like Chicola--it had ginger ale, lime juice, and some type of liquor, and unfortunately, it was another one we couldn't get through. The flavors just didn't mix well, and everyone at the table agreed it was a no for us. On the flip side, the Perfect Mule with a strawberry twist, the Henny Mojito, and a bold and fun drink called No Sheets were much better received. Menus are displayed on sleek tablets, and we were pleasantly surprised to see that the in-house menu offered way more options than what's listed online. And the food? Absolutely excellent. The Tallarín Saltado with vegetables was beyond delicious--we placed it in the center so everyone could dig in. The ceviche flight was fresh and flavorful, and the jalea (a fried seafood platter) didn't last long on the table either. One friend had the larger ceviche bowl paired with a mojito and already asked to come back just for that combo. Even the kid's arroz chaufa with chicken impressed us, with a big enough portion for leftovers. If there's one thing that fell flat, it was the atmosphere--at least early in the evening. When we arrived, the music playing sounded like retro video game tunes, but thankfully it transitioned into upbeat Spanish hits, including some great bachata that gave the space some energy. All in all, despite a few drink misses and a quiet start, this spot is a gem. The food alone is worth the trip, and we're definitely planning to return--next time a little later in the evening to hopefully catch a livelier vibe!

I loved this place and will be returning soon!…read more Made it in time for happy hour and tried their margarita and sangria. My fave was the passion fruit margarita.
