    5. Ceviche Verde
    Sellina Y.

    I've been ordering from this restaurant via UberEats since the pandemic and they always leave out one of my desserts every time and they do not offer a refund. I was hesitant to update my previous 5 star review until after my 8th food delivery order at this restaurant. 2 stars because the food is always hot upon delivery and tasty. To say the least, I have been a loyal local customer, and have reordered multiple times hoping the below issues were only a honest mistake as oppose to the restaurant ripping their customers off. The Ceviche Verde dish has always been my go to dish! Base on my previous photo posts, you can see the drastic portion differences in the amount food I've been given. The portion has shrunken by almost 1/2 the amount, but the price remains the same- around $21 after tax. You get less avocados, just less of everything, especially bits of fish. The plantain chips comes with this dish, and it has been soggy. I want to say they are soggy 3 out of 5 times. An order of dessert is alway added to my order. I ordered the tiramisu for the past two orders. For this order, my tiramisu is missing the bottom half!! So disappointed. As for my previous order, my tiramisu was missing or the tres leche amount is only a small square piece and the restaurant did not issue a replacement or a refund. Packing is not impressive- containers are usually crushed and food can be leaking. Unfortunately, the service and food quality has consistently gone downhill. No plans to order again anytime soon.

    Encebollado Mixto
    Oi W.

    Passed this restaurant a few times driving through main street and finally got around to trying it. :) We had to google a few items as we are not to familiar with Ecuadorian food. Only been to 1 other Ecuadorian restaurant in Hackensack. It was so out of the way I forgot the name (I think cafe was in the name which made it harder to find hehehe). The Ceviche Platter Huracan is really a meal but it sounded interesting so we ordered it as an appetizer. The Ceviche de Camarones was really good, the shrimps were tender. The Encebollado was delicious (I also didn't realize this was part of the dish until we got it, read the menu fully LOL). The Cerviche de Concha was not good, it was very fishy and had a strange after taste... also there's an upcharge (even though in the menu it says fish or conch, one assumes its 1 or the other but at the same price... at least the waitress told us about the upcharge!) I would not order the conch again... :( will probably just stick to fish Ceviche. The Encebollado Mixto has fish and shrimp. This I loved! The fish is firmer than what I'm used to, but it definitely holds up in soup. I would love to know what kind of fish they used. Forgot to ask hehehe. I was confused, as the menu said 2 sides and I ordered rice and salad but was told it would be extra... hubby wanted Avocado Salad so we ended up ordering a salad anyways but I looked at the menu again and it did say 2 sides with salad as an option. Again the menu was misleading. Higado was not bad. Hubby loved it with Maduro and Lentils. I've never been a fan of liver... but I always try a bite when hubby orders it. This was one of the better liver I've ever had. It didnt have a metallic taste or some weird after taste. I still would not order this, unless I'm told to by a doctor then I will come to Sara & Sophia to eat it hehehe. My issues that prevent 3-4 stars are: -the upcharge on the conch and side salad. Yes she told us but, it should be on the menu...don't give us an option if it will be a different price. It should be listed as 2 options with the 2 price tags... -we were charged $1.50 for take out containers, wished they warned us up front... -3% addtional for using credit card... -14.5% tip was automatically tacked onto the bill even though we were only 2 people... Now that I've typed out all of this in my review, I just realized that Bohemia, the previous restaurant in this spot did the same things, which caused us to never go back... I don't mind the 3% for using credit card as I understand this. I even don't mind if you tack on tip if it's a party of 5 or more but not for 2 people... I even understand charging for the take out containers. What I don't care for is not being told of these things upfront... it's like now that you've eaten we will charge you for walking into our establishment. That kind of sneakiness I don't stand for and there are plenty of restaurants that don't do this that I rather patronize. Even though the food was good, there are other restaurants I'd rather eat at that do not penny pinch their customers!

    We were headed to another Ecuadorian restaurant being that the one we were trying to go initially was closed(away on vacation), is when when stumbled upon this place. After reading the stellar reviews we decided to go. 1) the place is big and esthetically appeasing, warm and friendly. 2) the staff are super friendly. Daniella, our waitress was super friendly and amicable. Nice to meet fellow Ecuadorian's and to hear about their time back home. 3) the food. Delicious!! The food felt like home for me. I was so excited that I didn't know what to order. I have been in the mood for Guatita and theirs looked delicious and tasty too. But, I couldn't help myself and ordered another favorite dish. La Fritada. The batido(smoothie) de Mora was just as yummy. 4) prices match the meal. Definitely worth it. I am very happy to have found this new gem and I cannot wait to go back and have the ceviches, sopas and more of our traditional dishes.

    Stopped in for the first time to check out this new Ecuadorian restaurant at the former site of Bohemia, which seems to have gone from temporarily closed to permanently closed! Sara & Sophia was squeaky clean and socially distanced, making seating very open. Got my lunch special to go. No dining in for me yet! Ordered Ropa Vieja, which is my go-to after Pernil! As it took a while, I believe the meat was cooked to order, and not served from a steam table in the kitchen! Either way, it was tasty and the portion generous! Black beans were served on the side, not as pictured. If you like spicy, they have a housemade sauce that's awesome! I enjoyed my lunch, with enough leftover for a decent snack or small meal. Will definitely be returning! Support local business and go check out the great food at Sara & Sophia!

    Caldo de bola     If you like hot sauce ask for an extra container because it taste so good but beware its a good kick

    My mom came here awhile ago with a friend and asked me to join her again. We both got the lunch specials for the day. The pricing is decent though picked up as we added more sides. The portions are also impressive and we had plenty of leftovers to take home. It was a bit intimidating because we had to look up a lot of the menu items online, but everything was delicious in the end. They played some very vibey music that I kept Shazamming. One thing that is confusing is that tip is already included in the receipt, so keep an eye out! There's also an extra card fee, so have cash ready.

    While there isn't exactly an Argentine neighborhood in New Jersey, many great restaurants are…read morelocated in the northern part of the state. Argentine cuisine is a blend of influences from the Italian and Spanish immigrants with its chief national product, beef. They say the reason Argentine steak is so good is that its cattle graze on the country's plentiful pampas grass, rather than being grain-fed as American cattle are. The result is leaner, more flavorful, and more nutritious beef. One such establishment is on Moonachie Road in Moonachie, where my partners, our friends and I decided on Saturday dinner. Reservations were easily made via OpenTable. Upon entering this cozy, modern interior of Tango Steak as first-timers, we were greeted by the host and got a table right away. We were here 3 years ago when it was El Tango Argentina Grill. The vibe has completely changed. It's now darker and louder, not family-friendly. Music was at a decent volume and does seem to increase as it gets later, giving it a lounge type. As an appetizer, we started with Beef and Chicken Empanadas as well as Calamares (Calamari). For our main meal, we decided on the Extrana (Skirt Steak) with Mashed Potatoes & Chimichurri Sauce and Tango Burger accompanied with Fries. Food was good, not awesome. Our appetizers were tasty and well seasoned. The Skirt Steaks tasted fantastic with the Chimichurri Sauce. The Mashed Potatoes had a nice texture. However, some of us asked that their Tango Burgers be made medium but came out well done. The Fries were salty and very dry. Our service was horrendous, but our server was Nathaly who was accommodating and apologetic. Some of us had gotten their appetizer faster than others. The duration between our appetizers and the main meal was an hour. The food was not cheap given the portions received and the 20% gratuity added automatically to the bill. With insult to injury, their valet attendant charged $5. Definitely not what we expected, which is why we sadly can't recommend this place.

Knowing that and taking some recommendations from those who ate here previously, the majority of us chose Paella as our entrée. We started out with appetizers. For the table, we ordered two " Mixed hot appetizers for 4. " This was quite good. The appetizer included a spicy sausage, calamari, shrimp, and sauce. All three were fabulous, especially the calamari. Maybe one of the best I ever had. Super fresh. The sauce was for dipping the calamari. It was very good. For my main entrée, I ordered the paella Venetian. As a kicker, I included lobster. You certainly get a ton of food, more than you would probably finish. The paella included clams, paella of course, and tomato. The lobster was very disappointing. I would recommend not ordering it snd pay that extra price for something that's not very large, but more importantly, not at all good tasting. The group overall enjoyed their meals. The prevailing comment was food was good but not great.

Each steak is served with a few onion rings on the plate- the batter on some of my onion rings weren't cooked through. Side of Brussel sprouts and baked potatoes were good too, nothing special. Dessert- we had the affogato served with fig gelato, this was delicious. The gelato was full of figs. I highly recommend this is you are a fig lover. Overall, a great meal, priced on the high end as most steak houses are, but well worth it. The place was not busy at 6 but when we left at 8 it was full. Strongly recommend reservations or arrive early and hope to snag a seat at the bar for a meal.
