If you ever wonder where to get Dominican food in Bergen county, there is absolutely no need to drive all the way to Manhattan. All one got to do is stop by Lula's Latin Cuisine in Lodi. You will not only get an absolutely delicious food by an amazing host/owner, Reimy and his team. I had the privilege of stopping by tonight to finally get rabo guisado (oxtail stew), white rice with black beans for takeout. Upon arrival, their small parking lot in front is shared with another establishment off the busy Essex Street. It's a small establishment with a great selection of food. There were some seatings by the window, but predominately takeout. Their price was reasonable and portion size decent. The food was tasty, well seasoned and delicious as a sign that they put love in preparing their food. This was my first time here but certainly not the last which I can recommend.

I've ordered from here a few times. Every time the food is delivered it arrives hot and is always delicious. You can tell they put a lot of love into preparing their food, and I consider this to be one of my new favorite finds. It will definitely be in my regular rotation of places to order from. They also make what I consider my "NEW" favorite breakfast dish, called Mangu (Dominican Breakfast), try it if you've never had it. The portions are a decent size and the prices are great! I look forward to ordering and trying more of their dishes in the near future.

Pigs' Feet

I will preface this review by saying that I come from a Cuban family and we all know how to cook excellent food so it takes a lot for us to say when some thing is as good as ours. I had seen the sign up on this spot for some time but figured the opening was delayed due to Covid. When I drove by last week and saw it opened I looked online and saw a great menu so my mom and I decided to get some food one night. I was super thrilled to see pig's feet on the menu which is not something you can find often around here and when you do, it's not the best. The first thing that we taste are the beans because if they are not good, chances are the rest of the food also isn't. I'm happy to report that my mom, who is a staunch critic of black beans, actually said they're just as good as hers! Her oxtails were also very good as were my pig's feet. We also got a couple of croquettes and a stuffed potato which were also very good. The little spot is very clean and the people working there are really nice. The only downside is that it is very close to my house which is bad news from my waist line!

I ordered pollo guisao & yellow rice.  the taste it was terrible .! & to add to it the manage/owner is very rude.!

Well, I just bought a Cuban sandwich from them for lunch. That sandwich was off the hook and that's all I have to say about that. Thank you.

La Cocina De Cristina - Dominican Spaghetti with Dominican Salami & Tostones

La Cocina De Cristina

4.1(9 reviews)
2.3 mi

I stumbled upon this establishment when I was searching for a Latin restaurant in Grubhub. Last…read morenight we decided against delivery and opted to drive out and dine in. This place has a parking lot next door but it seems that this lot belongs to an auto repair shop not the restaurant, it has tow-away signs but we parked in the lot because it was after hours. The restaurant is spacious, with plenty of tables, the music is low, the decor is low-key with some Winter motiffs. I told my wife that I was expecting more of an Island/Caribbean decoration. My wife ordered the Asopaó de Camarones (Shrimp Soupy Rice) & got Spaghetti with Dominican Salami, Tostones & Avocado. Hot tea to drink. I expected the Spaghetti to come with Dominican Salami as an option (this is how Dominican Spaghetti is prepared and served) but unfortunately it does not, the Spaghetti is plain & adding the Dominican Salami is extra. My wife's Asopaó was full of shrimps, very tasty she loved it as did i. My Spaghetti with Dominican Salami was pretty good. The Spaghetti were al dente enough (not too soft nor too hard), flavorful, Dominican Salami chunks were hearty (I was hoping that the Salami would be stewed but it was fried instead), the avocado was fresh & unblemished, & the tostones were perfectly golden fried & crispy. Ashley & Stacey were our servers and they were very friendly, full of smiles, on-point & honest. I said honest, because after paying the bill we asked for a pen to add a tip and she explained to us thar the tip (which is an automatic 15%) is already included. Which surprised us, usually tip is included with a party of 6 or more, we are only a couple. My wife and I always tip between 10% & 20% depending on the service of course. But no matter how bad, horrible was the service we tip at least the 10%. We detest restaurants that force us to tip. We believe we have the right to give a certain amount of our hard earned money ourselves, without forcing our hand. Because of this practice of including the automatic 15% tip, no matter the size of the dining party, I give a rating of 3 stars. If it wasn't for this forceful tipping, I would have given this place an easy 5 stars. So beware when dining in at La Cocina de Cristina, while the food is amazing, their tipping policy will force you to shell out 15% of your bill, whether the service was good or not. We will NOT dine in at this place ever again. If anything, I will order via Grubhub (which allows me to tip accordingly) or order take-out.

I happened to be in hackensack this past weekend and had a hankering for chicharron and tostones…read more I wound up getting their picadera (sampler) plate and it was off the chain. The chicharron, longaniza, and chicken were fried to perfection and the tostones were good too. I prefer my tostones a little crisper which is the only reason for the 4 stars and not 5 but that's just my preference. The place is beautifully decorated with dominican and it is very clean and well put together. Very nice vibe inside.
