It is so hard for me to pass up the Spanish rice and beans, whenever I'm on my carnivore diet, when…read moreI go to a Spanish restaurant, since rice and beans, Spanish rice and beans in particular, is my second favorite food in this whole wide world. But I am proud of myself for resisting temptation, plus it gives me the opportunity to try a variety of meat. So today I had chicken, sausage, fried bologna, and shredded pork, and I've got to say all this meat was cooked to perfection and flavored to almost perfection. I really enjoyed all the meat I had here. When I'm off my carnivore diet, I can't wait to come back and try the rice and beans and other options they have here. So my recommendation is yes, definitely give this spot a chance if you're debating on whether to go here or not.

This place is next to a truck stop but do not let that keep you away. The food is crazy!!!!read more

The owners stand up front and greet you immediately. It's easier to speak Spanish so there's no misunderstanding. They do however speak English if you can't speak Spanish so no worries. The restaurant is clean! I mean clean. The food looks fresh and nothing is stale or left there to wither away. I ordered chicken soup with rice and my coworker got the beef platter. both were 10/10 and so damn delicious. It's going to be our new spot to get home made food when we're in the area. absolutely recommend

This review isn't for the food but for the people who works here. So I was strolling around Bayonne…read moreon my lunch break looking for Spanish food. And I decided to pick this place w/o any expectations. As I walk in, Jorge greeted me w a amigo/buddy kind of vibe. I ended up getting Bandeja Paisa. Pretty good, but not the best I've had. After my meal, I went up to the counter to pay w my card, but he said they don't accept cards. Dumbfounded, I asked, "uhm, what happens now?" He just said, "it's okay Amigo, it's on me." I was shocked. This never happened to me before. I didn't want to leave without paying my $15 bill. But he told me to just come back next time. And I definitely will. :) After this incident, I was inspired. I feel like I want to give some thing to others. This restaurant didn't only fill my stomach, but also my soul. :) #payitforward #goodkarma #thanksJorge

I've been a long-time customer, although I usually place my orders through Uber Eats. The last time…read moreI ordered was back in January because I decided to take a break from ordering out for a while. Today I finally decided to order again, and I even made sure to place the order earlier in the day so everything would be prepared properly and I would receive the full order without any issues. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a big mistake. I ordered my usual combo roast pork, which clearly states on the menu that it comes with rice and beans. However, when I received my order, there were no beans included at all, and the portion of roast pork was extremely small--far less than what should be expected for a combo meal. It honestly looked like barely any pork was included. I'm really not sure how something like this happens, especially when the item is clearly listed as a combo that includes rice and beans. Those are basic components of the meal, and leaving them out completely while also providing such a small portion of the main item is very disappointing. As someone who has ordered from here many times before, this experience is frustrating and disappointing. I made sure to order earlier specifically to avoid issues like this, yet the order still arrived incorrect. For a paying customer, especially a returning one, this level of carelessness is unacceptable. I hope this can be addressed so other customers don't have the same experience.

I rarely do this because I honestly I'm a loyal customer of many local restaurants , BUT.. this…read moresituation is so ridiculous I have to make people aware of . I have been ordering from this place for at least 3 years now if not more , I place the SAME EXACT ORDER every single week at least once or twice a week and I even make the effort to speak Spanish since it's their home language in order to make it easy for them . So here we go , I called again for the 5 thousand time to place the same exact order and the woman on the phone seemed confused even tho I was talking to her in her native language , she out me on hold 3 times to take an one single order , obviously she had NO CLUE about the menu . Fine , I wait for the order and I get something completely different from what I usually order so I called them and explained what happened. The woman on the phone tells me she asked the chef and he sent me the order , so I explained to her that is NOT WHAT I ORDER EVERY WEEK . I even went as far to say they could come and get the food back since we are not eating and all she kept doing was telling me that's what the chef made . Duhhh that's what the chef made but it's not what I ordered . Making a long story short , she didn't offer to fix and send the correct order , she didn't offer me a discount or a credit towards a future order either . With that said sounds like nowadays they send you what the chef decides to cook or what the inexperienced person on the phone understands and not what you actually order . With that said they lost a loyal customer because I will certainly NOT ORDER FROM THERE AGAIN !!! Not to mention so rude on the phone tells. MEVER AGAIN .
