It literally was the little things that made this such a great experience. He held the door open for a customer carrying a lot of bags and who was struggling to open the door, handed us a paper towel after we each used the restroom (also it's a basic bathroom but clean!!), and this was THE icing on top: moved us to the other side of the small room because he said the wind draft would hit us when the door opens. He came over to talk to us because he said it can only be a good or bad thing if customers were quiet when eating the food. Well food was great and he was so friendly and shared a bit of his family's experience and history with food. Food wise we ordered the soup of the day (chicken), garlic shrimp, salmon, and beef rib. Also had some local Portuguese sodas. The salmon truly surprised me because it was crispy and tasty!! He also mentioned it's a BYOB and liquor wine store was across the street. Love this place.

We ordered take out from this restaurant. This restaurant serves Romanian food (although I don't…read morethink we ordered anything that was traditionally Romanian). We ordered the fried Asiago cheese as an appetizer. It was crispy but had no flavor. I wish it came with a sauce or something (like a sweet drizzle would have made it better). We also tried two sandwiches, the beef brisket and cheesesteak sandwiches. The beef brisket was good, the sauce was a little sweet, and the beef wasn't too dry. The bread tasted fresh and I like the amount of ingredients in the sandwich. The cheesesteak wasn't the best. It had a cucumber wasabi sauce that wasn't the best. The meat was well cooked though. I just think the sauce isn't for everybody. I think I would order again from here. The prices were decent. Each sandwich came with a large amount of fries and the sandwiches were pretty filling.

Small, local establishment, tucked away on a main street. If you blink, you'll miss it…read more We ordered via phone and picked up our order to bring home. You can eat in if you would like. There's a very small dining area inside with tables good for 4 or 2 people. Service was excellent. Everyone was extremely friendly. Inside of the establishment and the cooking area was clean. I got a combo which came with 1/2 a chicken, sausage and ribs. Also came with two sides, so I picked Mac n cheese and baked beans. These sides were out of this world. Obviously home made. My son kept stealing scoops from me. The ribs were fall off the bone tender and the sausage was like a kielbasa but slightly spicier. The chicken was very good. Could have been a little more moist but still very good. Portion size was insane. Enough for a second meal for lunch the next day. I also got the Quinoa salad with feta and olives and that was out of this world. A little vinegarette with the saltiness of the feta was perfect.

They are a couple of outdoor tables too if you prefer to eat outside. We ordered the Birria bowl and the AL pastor bowl which came out pretty fast. Before that a basket of chips and salsa were given to us which hit the spot too. The bowls were flavorful and really filled us up. Rice, black beans, all the fix-ins and some birria sauce on the side for me to drizzle all over the meat. This I would consider an authentic Mexican restaurant in the middle of North Arlington. If you're in the area definitely give this a try!

Small empanada shop located on the Belleville Pike that I pass every day and finally gave it a try…read more I got three empanadas, one ham and cheese, one buffalo chicken, and one guava and cheese. I ranked them in that order as well. The Ham and cheese was pretty good, the Buffalo chicken was really good, and the guava and cheese was outstanding. I would love if they sold a dipping sauce too but I didn't see any. I could have missed it if there were to be honest. The service was excellent and the price was right too......under $10 for three. The parking is a little dicey, it's street only and you have to find it on the side streets. I'm glad I stopped and I will stop again on the way home to try other combinations.

My partner and I were looking for a local breakfast spot when we came across EmpaBake. Right away,…read morewe noticed the display filled with pastries and a tempting selection of savory baked empanadas. We ordered a caramel latte and a cappuccino to start, along with a ropa vieja (shredded beef) and sweet plantain empanada that we couldn't resist. Since they're baked, the empanada crust is light and crisp, with a generous, flavorful filling. It was a little on the dry side but still good. For our main dishes, I had the two egg breakfast with bacon and home fries, while my partner went for the Tres Golpes. Both plates were delicious and served in large portions. We were also surprised with a complimentary warm sesame bun, which was a lovely touch. To finish, I ordered a cortado bold, smooth, and just the right kick. The staff is friendly and always ready with the warm greeting especially for their regulars. The decore is simple but I did enjoy the large window painting. We'll definitely be back to try more empanadas and maybe a pastry (or two). Street parking only, but finding a spot wasn't difficult.

This is the second time this restaurant has gotten our order wrong, but the way the owner handled…read moreit this time is why I'm leaving a bad review. We placed our order over the phone, I went in to pick it up, gave the name the order was under, paid, and left. Nobody went over the order with me or asked me to confirm what was in it. When we got all the way home and realized the order was wrong, my wife called to have it corrected. The owner got on the phone and actually tried to argue that it doesn't matter what you order over the phone--it matters what you confirm when you pick it up. That is an absolutely ridiculous excuse. I wasn't asked to confirm the order. I was asked who I was picking up for, and I trusted that the food they handed me was the food we ordered. What made it even worse was that the owner made me drive the incorrect food all the way back to the restaurant before correcting the order. Why exactly do you need food back after a customer has already taken it home? I certainly hope it was thrown away, because the thought of returned food potentially being given to another customer is concerning. Mistakes happen, and I can understand an order being wrong once. But twice, followed by an owner trying to shift the blame onto the customer instead of simply fixing the mistake, is terrible customer service. I had to waste my time and gas driving back because of their mistake, only to be argued with about it. That's what turned a wrong order into a 2-star experience.

The truth is, the food is really good, which is exactly why I stayed and waited. However, time management is definitely not their strong suit.
