I was told they were focused on catering that day, which seemed to limit what they could offer walk-in customers for lunch. I left a bit disappointed but did takeaway a chicken empanada, which came with hot sauce. It was decent, though I would've preferred a green sauce or mayo-ketchup as the default.

The dining area is 'family style' which is kool! I got mine 'to go' because I miss my sofa. The food was onpoint!!! The bacalao and the rice had great flavor (5). I was too tired/sleepy to write a review after I ate. I will definitely return, maybe I'll give 'family style' a try.

I decided to give this place a try after seeing a TikToker's review. When we got there, my husband…read morementioned that the food didn't quite look the same as what was shown in the videos, and I have to agree. However, the flavors were definitely there, which is what matters most. I tried the alcapurria, and while it was decent, I've had better. The chicken inside was a little dry and could have used more seasoning and flavor. On the other hand, the chicken empanada was really good. The chicken was tender, flavorful, and had a nice seasoned taste that stood out. That's definitely something I would order again. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of my lunch, but I also ordered pernil with rice and gandules, as well as baked chicken with rice and gandules. As someone who loves pernil, I have to say that Puerto Ricans make some of the best pernil. It's always well-seasoned, flavorful, and tastes clean rather than overly greasy. The pernil here did not disappoint. The rice and gandules were also very good. While it doesn't quite compare to my husband's aunt's homemade version, it was still packed with flavor and complemented the meal perfectly. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would come back to try more items from the menu. If you're in the area and craving Puerto Rican food, I think it's worth giving this place a try.

I was in New Jersey for a work trip and needed to get dinner delivered to my hotel, nothing…read morecomplicated just something good. Stumbled across Latin Port and honestly, this place overdelivered. I ordered the arepas with cheese, and you can immediately tell these are handmade. The texture was perfect and the cheese was high quality, rich, melty, and just really satisfying. I completely dropped the ball and didn't ask for the cabbage toppings (which I later realized are supposed to pull everything together), so that's on me but even without them, they were still a win. Next up were the tostones, which came with this dipping sauce, maybe avocado-lime? I'm not entirely sure, but whatever it was, it worked. It tied the whole dish together and elevated what could've been a simple side into something memorable. Now, the real standout: the Cuban roasted chicken. This tasted like it came straight out of someone's grandmother's kitchen. Super juicy, packed with flavor, and just comforting in the best way. Easily the highlight of the entire meal. I also tried the tres leches cake for dessert, and while everything else hit, this one just didn't land for me. It wasn't bad, just lacking the flavor I was expecting. Overall, though, Latin Port is absolutely worth it. If you're looking for flavorful, home-style food that feels like it's made with care, this spot delivers!

The thing I love about this spot is they have a little bit of everything. They have dishes from different countries including Peru, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Brazil, and more. I decided to get a small platter of stewed chicken and beef with rice, beans, and plantains. For dessert, I just had to grab a slice of tres leches cake. The server who prepared my platter was very nice and loaded my container with food. I got my food to go, but there is seating here if you'd like to dine in. They also have some outdoor seating. When I got home, I truly enjoyed my food. I will definitely be back here.

We happened by Rodgers Real BBQ in Rahway NJ just over an hour from our home in Westchester County NY. The reviews brought us there and we were delighted to find a kitchen trailer and a couple picnic tables by a large smoker cooking chicken and ribs with that intoxicating sweet smoky smell - if you know BBQ then you know this scene! It's all about the food! Excellent pulled pork sandwiches (not shreds but chunks of pulled meat), excellent collard greens and baked beans. We had a sample of the baby back ribs and brought a rack home with us. The spicy sauce was great. There's a lot more in the menu and we will make the trip again. The gentlemen who run Rogers were classic BBQ guys - kind and proud of the food they serve. So happy to have found this gem.

Located on Alden Street in Cranford, this establishment has been serving the community since 1976, and my colleague and I have come as first-timers yesterday to The Gourmet Deli. They offer fresh mozzarella, homemade pasta, and sandwiches. Greeted by Dominick, the owner, we had the entire deli to ourselves, and our assorted sandwich platter and Greek Salad were ready for us. Their bread was fresh, the meat and cheese were superior quality and more than sufficient, and it was very tasty. As an added bonus, we got a sampling of his famous signature Angel Hair Garden Salad, which was to die for and alone was worth a trip, which we can recommend.

There's tight parking behind the restaurant. I would reccomend parking in front of someone's home and pretend you live there. The location used to be Charlie's hot dog which I never had the chance to try. I ordered pork belly , there version of a bowl with Mac and cheese, a grilled asparagus, a slaw and short ribs. I also got their version of a bahn mi sandwich. My colleague ordered the doctor sandwich. Not too bad. All in all it was less than $35. I liked the protein on every entree. They were well seasoned and tender. The Mac and cheese was whack. It was runny and the pasta was over done. I would try maybe the rice or fries with your create your own bowl. I kinda wish a hipster place like this, they use more eco-friendly disposal ware. Credit card accepted. Clover hardware.

I never expected it to be that good, most likely because I've made it myself before and it came out mushy and horrible- but they were crunchy and amazing and the sauce on top was perfect. We ordered a bunch of items to try and the owner threw in some drinks on him because we were so excited to try different things off of the menu. We got the garlic soy wings which were delicious, the spicy fried chicken sandwich that had a sauce that was to die for. And the salad was so good too with crunchy Asian twist and chicken on top. The drinks had ginger in them which went perfect with the lemon. Overall a really great experience I am so happy we stopped. I still am drooling over the cauliflower!!!!

Started out with coconut lemonade and a blood sausage appetizer that came with 2 mini arepas. It was our first time trying blood sausage and we were happy we did! Casing had a nice char and snap to it. Filling was well seasoned and delicious. Arepitas were light, crispy and had a very good sweet corn taste to them. Coconut lemonade was slightly tart which is how I like it and also had a sweet coconut finish to it. I would definitely order it again. For the entree we shared the Parradilla Milina Marinera which came with grilled steak, chicken, pork loin, shrimp and salted fried plantains. We added rice and beans. Grill taste on everything was terrific! Meats were tender and flavorful. Rice and beans were ok. They had free dessert for Mother's Day so my wife ordered chocolate cake which was delicious. It wasn't our first time at Milina and it definitely won't be our last. Servers were very attentive, courteous and accommodating.

We visited this restaurant and had an interesting experience…read more The seats were soft and comfortable. The drinks were good--both the Coke and passion fruit drink were enjoyable. The chicken empanada was also good. However, the CANASTICAS (3) DE TOSTONES RELLENOS appetizer was disappointing. It was $10 for three tiny cups, which was not what we expected. It wasn't worth the price, and we could barely taste any plantain. I accepted the conclusion. We also ordered a side of FRIED PLANTIANS (tostones). We received only three pieces, and they were extremely thin--so thin they could bend like taco shells. They were not the traditional thick, crispy tostones we expected. My husband's BANDEJA PAISA was also disappointing. The chicharrón was thin, hard, and difficult to chew. The steak was thin but good. The beans- good. Sausage-ok. A lot of rice on the plate. Then the receipt came with an automatic 18% gratuity. We don't recall seeing this noted on the menu, although it may have been listed somewhere. We were only a party of two, so we were surprised to see an automatic gratuity added. Be sure to check your bill carefully so you don't accidentally leave an extra tip. Overall, the food and value did not meet our expectations. It's simply not for us, though it may match other people's expectations, and that's okay.
