I ordered a chicken and a cheese empanada - it was crisp, delicious, and worth the positive comments how good it was. I never took pictures that day, I ate it because I was so hungry. I'll be back if I'm craving empanadas again. Staff is friendly, all forms of payment. There is indoor seating or you can step in on the go.

You could tell it was cooked with love. The cafe con leche was also on point. I would give this 100 stars. I'm coming back here with my family and friends. Highly recommend! Honestly made my morning. Update - week later I just had to come back for the food. This time I took a photo before I devoured it.

Have passed Lula's Latin Cuisine a few times recently and finally gave it a try last night…read more.. It's a small place with just a few tables, but we were grabbing food to go anyway and they had a nice variety/selection of prepared food at the counter. So, my wife and I were in the mood for Pernil (roast pork) and it looked good. She got white rice and black beans, and I got the yellow rice and red beans. There was (among other things to choose from) some good looking steak, chicken, soup, and Mangu (a dish made with mashed plantains). It also looked as though they had recently run out of boiled Yuca (because there was a near-empty warmer tray with red onions and garlic oil). Before we left, we picked up their menu and (even though the outside sign billed them as "Dominican food") looking through their menu made it apparent they offered MANY other things to order. There was Cuban sandwiches, Mofongo, and a LOT more. We got home and were amazed with the quality, freshness and (above all) perfect flavor of the food. The Pernil stood out for how juicy and perfectly spiced it was. There was just the right amount of salt, and I said it might be right up there with the the best I have had. The value for the price was outstanding, and there was enough leftover between us for another meal. I woke up this morning to find out that other meal was a late night snack for my son last night. LOL. Will definitely return to give this place another shot!!!

The food is delicious and for $12, they definitely don't underserve you the portions. The girl serving me in the morning is always very polite.

Translated from the Spanish as the little palm, La Palmita Restaurant, located on a busy Boulevard…read morein Hasbrouck Heights, serves Hispanic food predominantly Dominican cuisine. Parking could be a little tricky, depending on the time of day. First-timer at this storefront establishment under new management whose interior was cozy with a few tables. They have food already prepared, especially when you're on your lunch break, and it is convenient. Numerous lunch special options are offered for $12, and I ordered the costilla de cerdo guisada (stewed pork ribs) with black beans over white rice. This place is exactly what was needed, as the food is homemade, authentic, and tasty at a decent price. Make sure to bring cash, as they charge a bit more for credit cards. I could recommend this place.

It was his day to provide dinner for the family so he decided to bring food home from Jerk'd. I had a brown stew chicken bowl which came with 3 sides. I chose roasted sweet potatoes, braised kale and collard greens and sweet plantains. Brown stew chicken was savory, lip smacking and finger licking good! Each side cooked to perfection. It may be a while before I eat here again because of the distance, but for one day it satisfied my hunger for Caribbean food.

Once you enter, they have a menu laid on the table near the register. The place is bright with a lot of natural sunlight coming thru the window. Similar to chipotle, you place your order with the person handling your meal before you pay. I ended up getting the jerk chicken bowl which comes with three sides. I ended up getting the collard greens, baked sweet potato and Mac and cheese (Mac and cheese cost extra). Had to wash it down with a bottle of Ting ($2.95). The jerk chicken was really good, and just a heads up the jerk sauce was a pretty spicy. My favorite side was the collard greens. It was a solid meal overall. They have daily specials but I'm coming here for the jerk chicken. I highly recommend this place if you're in the mood for Caribbean food. * Parking on premise but limited * Hand wash station outside bathroom
