    Banana smoothie
    Stephanie G.

    I tried out a banana smoothie because it seemed appropriate given the company name, and that was satisfactory. It was a decent price and had a not too sweet but still obvious banana smoothie. I'd get one again. I was actually going to get a food item, but their menu pages scrolled really fast. Like I couldn't read one fully until another one would come up, and at some point I didn't want to keep standing their frantically trying to read and compare items. It would be a lot easier to see all the options at once. And they mispelled coffee as "coffe." For a business that has a few locations, the whole menu board seems very carelessly thrown together. There's street parking, but it can get busy. If I was already in the area, the smoothies were fine and I'd consider one again, but I feel like I'd have to study their online menu first to see what I wanted. There's some seating here and the service was quick, so it was okay.

    My boyfriend introduced me to Banana King years ago and since then I have had cravings for their empanadas and milk shakes. I love their beef empanadas and the cheese ones, I get random cravings for them at all hours so the fact that Banana King is open real late is a huge plus. The pink sauce ( I think its mayo & Catsup ) is the perfect addition to the crunchy exterior of the empanada. The store itself is pretty much a counter and a few tables and chairs, we usually just take our food to go or eat in the car depending on how busy they are.

    Paid cash!

    First time at a Banana King! Everyone I know has raved about it! From my first experience, I'm giving them three stars because maybe I don't know a good arepa when I have one! Otherwise, two stars would be generous! Ordered an arepa Cubana. I was the only person in the store and it took least 10 minutes before I got my food. My arepa was oily and topped with meat, which was much more like ropa vieja than roast pork, on top of a couple of slices of ham that looked like they came right out of a package! It was mushy and really salty! There was plenty to eat, but I didn't enjoy it. I'll try something else next time!

    Mixed platter so much food!!!!

    The chicken empanada is my favorite. But for the shake is to much sugar which I don't like.

    Service is poor, but food makes up for it. I recommend the arepa con pollo, buñuelo, and empanadas.

    Their shakes are awesome. Small spot, good quick food, has seating available. You order your food and can take it to go or eat it there.

    Banana King is disgusting and they have gotten greedy over the years. They have jacked up prices for flavorless food.

    Sazon Latino, located on Main Street in Boonton just a few steps from the NJ Transit station, is…read moredefinitely a hidden gem. It's a very casual, cafeteria-style spot with a semi-open kitchen, but don't let the simplicity fool you -- the food is incredible and the staff here is friendly and patient. The highlight of the experience is the small buffet that features a variety of freshly-made Latin cuisine -- including pulled pork, chicken and beef stews, and other traditional Latin entrees and sides. You can build your own plate by selecting one or more entrees and sides - which are priced accordingly. As a 'gringo' who wasn't entirely sure what everything was, I really appreciated them taking the extra time to explain all the different options and give me their honest recommendations. The counterstaff is bilingual and were pretty patient with my elementary school level Spanish vocabulary and grammar. I ended up going with the pulled pork platter with two sides ($7) and it was terrific -- the perfectly seasoned and tender pork, black beans and rice, and macaroni salad were delicious and very filling. You can tell they use fresh ingredients, and the portions are very generous for the price. If you're looking for authentic, home-style Latino food in a laid-back setting, this is the spot! PRO TIP #1: Bring a bottle of wine or beer from home to enjoy with your meal. Sazon Latino is a BYOB establishment and does not serve alcohol. PRO TIP #2: Sazon Latino offers free off-street parking in a small lot behind the restaurant and there's plenty of free on-street parking on Main Street.

    Outstanding experience featuring delicious food, excellent presentation, and exceptional service…read more Every detail seemed thoughtfully handled, creating a memorable evening that exceeded expectations and encouraged a return visit.

Once you enter you place your order in front of the hot lunch spread. I ended up getting the Pernil ($13) which was alright, maybe because I'm spoiled from having Dominican food in Washington Heights/city. The Maduro ($1.80) was a bit dry, which kinda looks like it from my photo. I'm thinking it was an off day. I may try again. * Street parking * Indoor dining

They even had Coco Rico which I have not had since I left NYC in 92. BTW the flan was incredible. I really loved the food experience. Portions are spot on. It is like a bodega shop like I grew up with in Washington heights. Nice and welcoming. Very homey and I liked it. Nice place for an impromptu meal. Service needs a little help...My girl could be friendlier and provide service with smile versus the standoffish demeanor she had. You want me to be a repeat customer right? You want me to come back right? Then great me with a smile and serve me with a smile. When you open a restaurant this is primo important! Could be a language barrier thing but if someone can pass this along I will only take one star off because the food was delicious. Worth going to but my girl needs to up the service game por favor.
