Delicious Sancocho and Super Delicious Spicy Chivo Guisado....
Johnny C.

PROS 1. Sancocho was Perfectly Delicious. 2. Chivo Guisado was SUPER Delicious and had a spicy kick! 3. Rice was cooked well. 4. The Food Display is pretty neat. 5. I'm glad their on UBER EATS!! 6. Nice Server/Cashier. 7. Mofongo with Chivo Guisado was Delicious and for $17.00 CONS 1. They don't make Majarete. 2. They are not Downtown Jersey City.... :(

White rice?
Trish T.

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!

You need to come here
Mag M.

This place is wonderful, excellent, fabulous.. It's not located in the best area but I have to tell you if you are looking for authentic Dominican food this is your place!! The ladies here work hard and still keep a smile on their faces!!!! They are helpful and won't rush you even if it's busy!!! Wow that's what I call great customer service!!!! Oh did I forget, The portions are spectacular for the prices!!! If you are ever in Jersey City, NJ MAKE HERE, YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. The only thing is they don't have A/C

Great authentic Dominican food at a great price. All that plus 2 bottles of water $21.

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

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

Let me tell you something. This RESTAURANT, is probably my favorite within a close radius to me…read more The food is phenomenal (to me, but I have yet to try everything they have to offer, thus far the chicken, beans, PEPPERSTEAK , empanadas, rice, plantains etc has all been good for me. The only time they had me a little skeptics is when a friend of mine ordered a tres leches, and suspected the milk may have curdled somehow I have no complaints regarding the service. I think they do their job and do it well, and there have been times that I've ordered a dish upon request and it was made FRESH on the spot. I don't converse with them often, and sometimes the food is a slight wait depending on WHAT you get, but no complaints there personally. As for the ambiance.. well, I am a native Jersey city resident so Ocean Ave is a usual to me. Most often if you mind your business, you should be fine as long as u go straight to getting your food, and go right home. And if u are confronted walk away and go about your business, thankfully this has always worked for ME. Internally the shop is cute as far as I'm concerned. I wouldn't need it to be Michelin star decor! It's not about the what the store looks like in this case, it's definitely about the quality of the food, which to me is great. I'd definitely recommend you check it out for yourself! And my personal recommendation (my go to) is of course the pepper steak w rice and beans. It usually brings me to a total of $14 flat. If you order other combos (such as the meats alone) it also Comes to a good price. I once ordered chicken, pepper steak, plantains and beans w no rice and my total was $21! And it lasted me more than a single day.

Normally, I do not write reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience due to the extremely…read moreunprofessional service I received. The employee who assisted me was very unkind and spoke to me in a disrespectful and demeaning manner, as if I were beneath her. She referenced a previous visit and accused me of having issues with payment. I was confused and calmly offered to make a partial payment, yet instead of handling the situation professionally, she told me to either pay in full or leave the restaurant. I have never been spoken to in such a disrespectful way at any place of business. What upset me most was the complete lack of basic manners and respect. When I attempted to address the situation calmly, she began laughing along with another employee. That behavior was humiliating and deeply insulting. As a Black woman, I felt that I was treated unfairly and spoken down to in a way that carried racial undertones. I am financially stable and did not deserve to be treated in such a dismissive and degrading manner. Because of this experience, I will not be supporting this establishment again. I feel it is important to share this so others--especially people of color--are aware and can make an informed decision before visiting.

Las Americas is definitely the best Spanish restaurant in the neighborhood. But they can be hit or…read moremiss. The plus side is that they have a wide range of great Spanish food selections, with taste on par with restaurants in the Bronx. And that's a big compliment. While the food is excellent, they are not consistent with the portions. For example, I recently ordered a plate with pork ribs, and they gave me one rib and a half. And this cost 10 bucks! The person who usually gives the small portions is the pretty Latina that wears makeup. The rest tend to be much more generous. Generally, the best deals are dinner combos. And note that they do charge a fee + taxes when you lay by credit card, which they don't mention. So, as long as you get the right person, you should be happy.

I had an issue with my payment, my card locked and I was trying to pay. As I was going in for a 3rd…read moretime cause I was in a rush they denied me and a helpful gentleman which happened to be Hispanic helped out to sort the issue, not sure if it was a race thing but the worker was completely compliant with him. The worker pretty much ignored me while I was pleading to pay the amount after my card unlocked but wasn't given a chance to. I've been a customer there for a while and now I'm done, like because of this ONE time they didn't give an ounce of help, understanding, or respect. FUCK THIS PLACE the food is mediocre anyway and you can get something for better bang for your buck rather than standing in a sauna waiting for food.

I grew up a few blocks away from this place. Back in my day (ok Boomer) we didn't have $8 latte…read morecoffee spots popping up, and we didn't put cute jackets on the dog when taking it out for a walk. The Heights has always kept it real, and places like this are a welcome reminder of the no-nonsense attitude that defines the neighborhood. Location: smack in the middle of the Heights' main thoroughfare, near such classics as Gino's pizza (yay!) and the JC Parking Authority office (ugh). Style: Little more than a lunch counter and a few tables, so don't expect Michelin star treatment. Instead, peruse their daily specials (usually various types of chicken, beef, rice, beans - and don't forget the empanadas!). The food is continuously prepared throughout the day (but if you show up too late in the afternoon, your favorite dish may be sold out for the day). Food: Yum! Home cooked meal goodness. This is not fusion bistro style food. This is authentic Latin cuisine, and pretty much everything I've sampled there is a winner. Value: The dishes come in two sizes. The inappropriately named "Lunch Special" (which is available at all times, not just lunch) is my go-to; it's tough to find many places around that can fill you for just $6 (!!) for a dish of rice beans and chicken. If you're a bit hungrier (or would like to share), the next size up is only a couple of bucks more. Verdict: Easily up there with Pizzamasters as my favorite classic JC Heights eatery. It won't be featured in the NY Times anytime soon (at least I hope not - I wouldn't be able to deal with...nice people waiting on line for 45 mins to get in). But what it lacks in publicity and glamour, it more than makes up for with quick service, tasty food, and superb value.

They put my food in a microwave in front of me. And the food was disgusting. I took 1 bite and leftread more
