Amazing service and delicious food!! You want real Dominican comfort food you can go... you can get real food

Needed something quick and this was it. I'm a sucker for this type of food so I was excited. Service was lovely. Speedy, efficient, and super friendly. Got the meat & rice combo for a mere $9. Pernil with red beans and rice. Added maduros so that was $1 more. Also picked up a papa rellena just because. All of it hit the spot. It wasn't the best but it was good. The skin of the pernil was crackling good! The meat in the papa rellena was flavored nicely. Other than that, it was good. For $9, what's there to be mad about?!? In any case, they had tons of dishes to choose from. Meats. Salads. Empanadas. Chicharron. Sooo much! They also had a lot of tables in case for wanted to eat in. Decent spot! Only downside is the parking. It's you might have to do a couple of circles before you find a spot. read more

Don't order food for the Holidays! I called at 8am and they even called me back 2 hours before my pick up to reassure me that it'll be ready and that I can pay in person and STILL THEY SOLD IT FORWARD. This is the 2ND time I ordered platters for the Holidays and this is the 2ND TIME this happens. When you get there is when they'll tell you so don't get your hopes up or waste your time. read more

Food is always on point! Have had their Dominican breakfast which was delicious. Also had dinner both at the restaurant and ordered take out and have never been disappointed. read more

Saw people in and out here. Wanted to try and see how it was. The portions were great for the price of what you get. The rice wasn't as flavorful as I would like. Chicken was dry. The pork/pig skin was too chewy and hard to bite. It was great to try. But if you are looking for a quick fast bite. They are good getting it ready for you. read more

I would say that's my fourth time or fith time they have good food I can't lie she was always been nice to me all the time but I went this morning for some reason she was so harsh on me and was pressuring me it makes me feel bad I didn't like the way she was talking to me for now I'll stop coming I'll go somewhere that's how I feel. read more

One of the best spots for comfort food around this area. Very affordable and you can leave with a-lot of food for less. The rice is always seasoned to perfection and the empanadas are very tasty as well. It got the right flavor and crunch. The service is always warming. Its a decent size store with some seating. read more

This place has a huge variety of authentic, freshly made Dominican food. Prices are great and there's plenty of seating for dining in. They welcome you in the warm Latino way you'd expect from a relative and take care of your every dietary want. read more

Not worth it! I ordered white rice with beans separately and chicken and received I my white rice full of "chicken grease"! The rice was yellow! I called in the day after to notify my experience and the owner said he couldn't do anything as I called a day later! Oh, he didn't apologize and not even acknowledge the mistake! He said that's how it comes when you order with chicken! That's a new one for me. The meat was bad too! I had to throw everything away! I literally gave my money away! read more

The food is authentic Dominican food. Everything is delicious and for tostones just order some and they make it for you perfectly. A dinner for 2 will cost you $20! You can't beat the price! I believe they cook different foods on different days but they always have pernil. read more

La Primicia - Great authentic Dominican food at a great price. All that plus 2 bottles of water $21. - Sandwiches Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Probably the worst customer service I have ever encountered. I called first, to see if they delivered to my address, when they said yes, I placed an order for lunch. After them calling me four times, and telling me that the driver was lost, they reassured me that the food would be here in 20minutes. This was after already waiting an hour. When the extra 20 minutes passed, I called to ask where the delivery was. Their response, "we're not delivering to you because we don't deliver there." Like what!?!?! I specifically called to ask that first. So long story short, after an hour and a half, they refused to deliver the food, which they said they would. That is not how you run a business. Rude and unprofessional!! read more

Terrible customer service and mediocre food. Wouldn't seek this place out but might pop in for a quick eat. Definitely more for locals.

La Primicia is one of my favorite spot in west side, because of their EMPANADA. Its really delicious! Plus it's just $1. They have CHICKEN,BEEF & CHEESE. -The crew is nice, even if you dont speak SPANISH, just smile and be respectful. -The food is good and really mouth watering. -Their shakes/smoothies is made of fresh fruits and thats a PLUS. Really tasty and healthy. If you want a quick lunch or snack, LA PRIMICIA is for you. read more

STAY AWAY!! Second try I give this place and AGAIN the customer service experience was HORRIBLE. This time I wanted a piece of lasaña and the lady was giving me a corner piece that more than half was burnt and dry! The "supervisor" explained with an attitude that she couldn't give me the next piece because it was policy and it was going to ruin the lasaña!!!!! A Lasaña that is cut into squares already!! Mind you this is a place I wanted to make frequent catering from since it is close to my business. Never coming back. read more

This was my 2nd visit ,and they have great food. Since I live in Cali the only Dominican food I enjoy is either cooked by me or Mami. I had Moro , eggplant, and shrimp. I also had a piece of Doninican bizcocho. read more

The ladies and I had a language barrier on the phone when we ordered delivery last night. I give it to them, they REALLY tried. We ordered a cuban sandwich, pernil with yellow rice and beans, a chicken empanada, a beef empanada, and a tres leches cake. The grand total was *drumroll please!* $18!!!! All this food for under $20! On top of the unbeatable price, the flavors were amazing. SO GOOD. I especially liked the chicken empanada, which was crispy on the outside, and juicy and flavorful on the inside! Also, my cuban sandwich was just plain delicious. It blows other places out of the water. Really. It was cheesy, melty, roast-pork and hammy, AND a little acidity from the pickle. Can you tell I have a great dinner?! Go do yourself a favor and order from here. Right now! read more

I've been coming to La Primicia for a few years because I live near the place. So I know what they have. I have had every item on the menu except for the mangu, and that's only because mangu looks weird. Here's what to get daily: -Pernil - Roast Pork -Porco Salteado - pork sautéed with onions and peppers -Pollo Asado - Rotisserie - Chicken -Pollo al Horno - Baked Chicken -Pollo Frito - Fried Chicken -Sopa De Pollo - Chicken Soup -Sancocho (Saturday's) -Dominican style Lasagna (Friday's, $5 per square [dif from Italian in that it's more meat and less sauce]) Those all come with a choice of rice & beans, yuca, green plantains or French fries. But the best way to do it is to order from their A La Cart menu. The "A La Carta" menu items come with a nice salad along with the other stuff. The "A La Carta" menu items are not pre-made. The cooks make it upon order, so it's hotter and fresher than the stuff in the daily menu. La Primicia also makes breakfast stuff and decent shakes. This place "is what it is" which is a decent Dominican Food Spot on the West Side Section of JC, on the border of Greenville. The only issue I have with the place is that sometimes the people they have taking orders aren't to fluent in English which can be frustrating for them and their customers. Thankfully I don't have a problem communicating but I don't represent most people. All that being said, I'm very happy that La Primicia is in the neighborhood and they have fed my tummy on manny a day and night! read more

You're here because you want authenticity. Well, you won't be disappointed. This is another REAL Jersey City spot. #imsojerseycity If you don't want a huge meal, don't worry about it. Just pick up $1 empanadas (yes people still sell them for a dollar). I still have yet to try the Roasted Chicken. LOOKS SO GOOD. read more

I miss this place so much, unfortunately i moved out of Jersey City and haven't been able to find a place like this. I've only ordered to go or pick-up, they deliver to places nearby and prices are reasonable. I must say, the have one of the best mofongos. I personally love the shrimp mofongo, they give you some really nice size shrimps in a great sauce that pairs well with the mofongo. They also have a good rotisserie chicken, I can go on and on about whats good. You can't go wrong with this place. read more

In ALL HONESTY the food is good but the customer service is HORRIBLE!! The employees are RUDE and NO CAP this straight facts fr they prejudice. Me and my brother witness them treating Hispanic customers wit respect then have a rude type attitude wit non-Hispanic customers read more

Do not order from here!! my delivery took over 2 hours!! and never made it in and I kept calling and they kept saying the guy was 10 minutes away!! read more

Delicious food and very friendly staff! Their prices are crazy cheap, especially for the quality of the food. There are a few tables to sit at. Very authentic Dominican spot but I never felt uncomfortable about not being a foreigner as opposed to quite a few other places I've been to. read more

Made an order for pick up and things were missing from the order. Called and they blamed it on the person that picked up the order, even though the order had been written down and handed over to the server. They refused to deliver the remainder of the order (0.4 miles away) and said I would have to make a $10 ADDITIONAL order for them to deliver the rest of my food. Asked to speak to the owner and was put on hold for 5 minutes, to then be told that the owner was "too busy" to speak to me. Asked to get my money back and was told they would not return my money even if I brought the food back (untouched). Awful customer service. They lied to my face and would not take responsibility for their mistake. read more

La Primicia - I was charged $8 for two pieces of beef and one potato. :-/ - Sandwiches Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

The food is NOT good! I order for delivery from this place often since it's the only spanish restaurant I know in the area. But the food takes over an hour and half to deliver every time! The food is usually cold and many times they even forget to even deliver. I've had enough disappointments with this place. Will never order from them again. read more

So far, it's really good. I really enjoy the food at this place. And the ppl that work there are really attentive and nice to everyone. Great price also. read more

Ever since I've moved into the western side of Jersey City, it's been a challenge to find a decent takeout spot other than Asian or chicken. Luckily I stumbled upon this place and their amazing food. Their food are always fresh and the taste is to die for. I thank the food gods for this place. read more

Being partially Dominican on my mothers end, I can tell you what good authentic a Dominican cuisine taste like. They are spot on and they have yet to disappoint me. Keep serving the community up! read more

Nice local spot. The servers seem very genuine. Don't go late in the day because they will barely have any food left.

Happen to go to Jersey City to see a friend who owns a business there. He invited me to lunch asked try this place since I never been there. We ordered our lunch from La Primicia. Their food is unbelievable. The chicken had to be cooking for hours because when I took a bite the skin was just right and the rest of the meat just fell off the bone!. The beans and rice was phenomenal, steamed vegetables (cauliflower, carrots, string beans) great, They had their own hot clear colored, garlic flavored dipping sauce (or maybe it was a gravy to be poured over the veggies). Didn't know, didn't care as long as it went down my hatch. Am I going back again? Yep. This weekend! Going inside next time. Would I recommend anyone else to go there? You bet I would!! read more

I love this place. I work on sip and they deliver to us! Which is even better being that we tend to be lazy in the morning at work to get breakfast lol I love their Mangu and Morir Sonando. I also frequently get their empanadas! read more

After waiting for almost 2 hours and call two time being told my order was on the way! Rep call me almost to hrs later to advised she never submit the petition order! read more

3.5 I'm here often enough. It's legit food, for a decent price. And the place is always clean. I recommend there salmon. Also, if you plan on ordering a sandwich, I suggest you call in advance. It can take them some time to make. read more

I come here at least once a week and the food is good. However, some days are better than others. I usually get the BBQ chicken, white rice and black beans. It's $6 for a nice, sized portion. They only have chicken legs though. You will get two legs with your order. I must admit, I'm in love with their fried chicken (once again only legs). It's usually crispy and seasoned nicely. You can get it in a meal or $1 for individual pieces. I've had the stew chicken and stew beef. I found the stew beef to be tender but lacking in flavor. For that quick bite, $1 empanadas are definitely worth trying! I'll be back again and again because it's in my neighborhood. read more

One of my absolute favorite Dominican restaurants in the area, and I'm dominican myself...love their food, appetizers and deserts...only downfall is delivery and staff...their deliveries take over an hour in average and the ladies there are less than pleasant. read more

One of the best roasted chicken around in Jersey City but every time you call for delivery for the roasted chicken they never have or there's a 3 hours wait to get the roasted chicken. Never fails when I call, Horrible. If they know people love chicken so much why not make it that there's enough especially on the weekends. read more
