Great food. We took my mom out for dinner on her birthday. We made reservations for 7 people. They waiter was very helpful with the best decision for our table. The meat was cooked just the way we ordered. It was juicy and flavorful. It's an open concept so you actually see the chef grilling. The smell is deliciously intoxicating. Your mouth is salivating before you even sit at your table. If you're in the mood for meat this is a great place to go. You won't be disappointed. read more

Choripan Rodizio Too - Arroz con Frijoles Parillada Argentina Papas Fritas swee potatoes fries Calamares Fritos Camarones al Ajillo - Barbeque Near Me - Hackensack, New Jersey

Went there on a Saturday night and it was packed. I called around 3pm to make a reservation for 7pm and they told me the restaurant was full but they had another location around the corner where we can sit and it's the same food. So we got there around 6:50pm and we had to wait for about 40min. It is a small restaurant and there were several people already waiting. We told the person in the counter we had a reservation and they had a sloppy ring notebook with names all around the page and cross outs that they couldn't even find my name. It was very frustrating, but when we finally sat down the food was great, service was slow but the steak was amazing. Would go back during a week day when it's not as busy. read more

Choripan Rodizio Too - Parrillada, rice, spinach and french fries - Barbeque Near Me - Hackensack, New Jersey

The staff were all extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We ended up ordering the Parillada Argentina and it was amazing!!! Even though the order was for 2 people, we couldn't finish even half of it and ended up taking it home to-go. The meat was amazingly flavor and cooked well (ordered medium rare). The chimichurri sauce and homemade hot sauce were both amazing, and absolutely essential to cutting the fat in the meat to help you eat more. Absolutely delicious, highly recommend, and we will definitely be back! read more

Food was definitely on the money. Ordered the Parillada Americana. (Skirt , short ribs, italian S. , chicken , steak ) It was expected that their grilled meats are towards the unseasoned side and I wish they had sauce to go with it. The food went well with rice and beens . Service was excellent. The waiter checked on us every now and then. Ambiance was great. The decor fit the grill themed restaurant. I would definitely come back to stuff my face again!! read more

Good quality and quantity and delivery was early. Excellent deal for a family for dinner

I give it a star because it's the lowest grade. I went for my sons birthday 5 Adults i ordered a Seafood Paella that was overly cooked and extremely dry. We spoke with the waiter who said don't worry I will take care of it.....Received bill it was over $500 with no alcohol. I asked what about taking care of paella? Ge said ice cream was free So disappointed. Never Again! Don't mind paying when the quality and service is good. read more

Excellent dinner at this place. BYOB a definite plus. Service was also kind and attentive. There were 3 of us so one ordered the skirt steak with rice and beans and we also got the parrillada Argentina which consisted of beef ribs, tripe, sweetbreads, blood sausage, regular sausage, skirt and flap steak along with a basket of thin, crispy sweet potato fries and a heaping scoop of delicious potato salad. All the meat was very tender, fresh and well seasoned. The portion could very well have fed all 3 of us and certainly worth the $40. The only downside to this place is the parking. The lot in the back is very tight and seems to be for other businesses also the street parking on that block is limited. You're better off parking on Main Street and walking (it's very close to the corner) read more

I get the parilla often here. I would say it is better than most of them around this area.

I didn't get the Rodizio but the meal I did get was okay. It was the breaded steak. Def didn't enjoy the sauces. Gave three because hubby said his Rodizio was pretty good although other spots we have been too was better. Decent service. Good sangria. read more

This is their second location, after the first one burned down. As the name implies, their specialty is rodizio, a spectacle where staff walks around with huge skewers of meat to be served tableside in unlimited quantities. So basically eat as much meat as you want for $35 at dinner. They have a lot of options, but my favorites are definitely the picanha (top sirloin) and beef short rib. The guy who was serving us rodizio was fast and efficient, but the normal waiter was a bit slow on drinks and other stuff. It's pretty good and more convenient compared to driving out to the Ironbound for rodizio but not as good. read more

Parking is a little tough, there is a paid parking lot but its a tad of walk from restaurant. We went last minute and didn't have reservations but we called like 5minutes before and they had a table for us. I would suggest to call ahead especially on a weekend because I noticed that there were a lot of tables of a party of 6-10, so it was very busy. There is indoor dining but we did outdoor dining, they did have heaters but we were still cold so dress warm. Ordered the empanadas, which were good and pretty big. We shared the Parillada Americana, which had a little bit of everything and it comes with two sides that are included. The Parillada Americana is suppose to be enough for two people but apparently you can tell them to make it for 3ppl which they will give you more food. We were unaware the waiter did that to our order, so we questioned why it cost more. It was a misunderstanding on both parts. The service is great, it byob. read more

I love the meat they sell here! Taste very authentic and you can smell the smoked beef from far away! Make sure you wear clothes that you don't mind washing because the smell sticks with you! Love the atmosphere, very Argentinian! Love it! read more

Rodizio always hits the spot! Nice to find an affordable one that's satisfying and convenient.

FOOD POISON ALERT! I heard so many good things about this place, therefore I decided to rsvp for 9 people and have an early valentine's dinner on 2/11/23. Where should I begin, the customer service was absolutely horrible, and the food was def not what we expected. No food presentation but the worst was the meat with no seasoning and tons of fat. Our waitress was not friendly, she made faces every time we asked fkr clarification on plates, never checked our table, food plates were missing and we had to ask random workers to help but many of them disregarded us. 1.5hr drive to this place was NOT WORTH IT, 1 HUGE ERROR AND WASTE OF MONEY. DO NOT GO, THERE ARE BETTER RESTAURANTS! & OF COURSE THE TOP OF THE CHERRY IS THAT MY COUSIN IS CURRENTLY IN THE HOSPITAL SINCE LAST NIGHT FOR FOOD POISON!!!! THROWING UP NONSTOP WITH SEVERE STOMACH PAIN DUE TO CONTAMINATED FOOD , THANK YOU CHORIPAN! read more

I did not expect to be sitting down at a steak house when I walked in but boy was I wrong (in the best way possible). Food was excellent and very unique! Presentation was fantastic, having it served on a grill directly in front of you. Specials list was a bit... long... waiter must have spent 7 minutes working his way through the pitch haha. Def an amazing place to try something you won't typically find around North Jersey. read more

Tried this place for the first time a few weekends ago. Good food and ample servings. The meat quality is perfect for the price. If you like Argentina empanadas, you'll be disappointed as they taste like taco filling. Not typical. read more

Pablo and staff has done it again. They've come back with a bang and in full force. Restaurant is larger and more spacious. Great for groups! Love all the wooden walls, benches and tables. The massive grill is back and busy. The vents are in full swing and we left with minimal smoke smells. Service has continued to be great. Wines chilled, opened and poured instantly. Still BYOB! All our needs met which can be tough in a large group setting but no complaints for us. Menu has expanded and the food is more delicious than ever. Everything cooked to temperature and seasoned perfectly. Choripan, we are glad to have you back! We've been missing you guys. Tip: parking lot in the back but after 7pm since shared with neighboring businesses read more

Today my wife and I were looking for something different, and we found this authentic Argentinian restaurant. The food was great, and the service unique. Our waitress was Dayana! So courteous and professional, to me, the best!!! The Choripan parrillada is so good, and the portions are incredibly great! It is a family restaurant. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

A friend and I had a great experience at Choripan Rodizio. Our server, Angel, was super nice and knowledgeable. To start, we had a beef and chicken empanadas; both were good, but if I had to pick, I liked the beef better. We ordered sangria, good as well. We had the Choripan Special for 2, highly recommended. For sides, we ordered the potato salad and the rice and beans. Everything was delicious! Will definitely be back! read more

Amazing!! We came for a friends birthday dinner and we had a blast! The food was amazing and the staff was so friendly and hilarious. They make you feel so welcomed and truly want you to enjoy the food and company. This restaurant is byob but also work with the bar next door that offer sangria and beer. Even though it's a Rodizio they still have plenty of vegetarian options. Ps: shout out to the Brazilian and Chilean waiters and our Argentinian waiter whose name we forgot!! read more

The only Brazilian at the place of course is the Rodizio server. His name is Baltazar. ASK FOR HIM!!! the presentation is a hair width shorter than the exquisite taste of the meats he brings. I wanted to take a star because my normal server was sub par but Baltazar more than made up for that one short coming. The band was a little too loud tonight. Beside my table, everyone was shouting trying to hear their party talk over the band. Still not enough to lose a star as this experience was one for future reminiscing with the friends. Go here and thank me later!! read more

After reading so many good reviews of this place I was dying to try it out. My wife and I went there for my birthday lunch. I was going to order the lunch Rodizio, but the waiter suggested the American meat grill. That was our first mistake. Our second mistake was in ordering it medium well. By the time the platter came to us the meat was not medium well, but well done. The only meats that were edible were the sausage and chicken. The beef was some of the toughest beef I've ever had. The flavor was good and tasty but the meat was tough as hell. The two sides, rice and beans and a salad, were good. This restaurant was huge disappointment. I was really looking forward to eating some good beef. I'll probably go back and give them another try,just being curious, but I'll order the lunch rodizio. I use to eat quite often at the Rodizio that was in the Home Depot Shopping Center in Hackensack. It was excellent. I received an offer from the Manager Pablo, to come back and try Choripan Rodizio Too again. I will do and hope to post a good review next time. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I had a full range of steal,short ribs, chicken and I brought my own beer to wash it down. The spinach and salad was also delicious. The staff was awesome. I entered when it was early so it was not crowded when I arrived. If I could just give 2 small critiques. They should offer to change the plates with a fresh clean plate after eating several rounds of food and they should allow the customer a little time to rest. I found I had to tell the server I had a tough time keeping up with them. All in all I will definately return but ask them to consider the 2 colored wooden dowel that other rodizio servers have. read more

Be ready to wait!!! They do take reservations, and they also take walk-ins. While the wait can be from extreme to not-too-bad, it is worth it! Trust me it is... TRUSSSSSSSS The food is amazing, there is one reason and one reason only to be here, and that is the Parillada (the mixed grilled meat options). While the prices may seem a bit high for the area, it actually breaks down to be an affordable and smart option. One Parillada is enough to feed two adults and two kids. It truly is a lot of food, and has something for everyone... If you have someone that doesn't eat red meat, they can go to town on the pork sausages, loin or chicken. If you have someone that doesn't love the traditional sweet breads and blood sausage, then they can have the many other options available. They also have larger options meant for 3-4 guests, and have plenty of sides and other typical argentine food options. Believe it or not, while Argentines are not known for eating too much rice nor beans, their rice and bean side option is AMAZING! You know what else is amazing? The fries!!!!! So this place has something for everyone. At the time I believe it was BYOB, however now with the purchase of the bar next door, I've heard they now are offering liquor and beer. The only one sour grape I have from my experience, that keeps this from being a 5 star review, is our waitress. She was a 40-something year old woman, who just seemed like life stunk for her... I mean, I jest, but that's the impression my table and I got. She also seemed very pushy in trying to get us to order the larger Parillada option. She kept confirming, "are you sure you don't want the larger option" --- at least 3-4 times, which made it feel awkward, as though she were trying to push the higher priced dish so she could get a larger tip, since a party of 5 includes a 20% tip automatically. I guess it's safe to presume that, but it was irritating and accompany that with her dead-pan demeanor, it just makes that service portion of the experience less than favorable. I don't know what her deal was that day, or how tough her life is, or the job... in the end, that wasn't enough to keep me away from this place. I have been here twice and aim to come back again and again! Two thumbs up!!! read more

First, the street parking was really easy to find. The water comes in Poland Spring bottles for $2. The bread with the chimichurri was really good. The bread came out warm. The Garlic Shrimp App was 6 jumbo shrimps. The flavor was pretty good. I ordered the Al Plato, which was breaded steak with fries. At first I thought the breaded steak was good, but after a while it was weird and the entree was hurting my stomach. The breading on the steak was super fried. The price of the entree was few dollars more than what was on their sticker in the menu. The rest of my night now my stomach doesn't feel good. read more

I know it's contradictory to start off by saying Choripan deserves more stars, but I just can't get over a few hiccups I had on my first visit here with my girlfriends. Tons of options on the menu and most are flavorful and delicious. Especially the well seasoned beef empanadas and the paella, which was loaded with seafood. We ordered the $60 choripan special to share, which was a mountain of shell steak, skirt steak, short ribs, and flap steak. Unfortunately the steaks were a bit of a letdown. Not for its flavor or quality, but for its temperature considering we were dining at a rodizio joint. We ordered the steaks medium rare but they arrived medium well, making them a bit tough. Not ideal, but the steaks were still good nonetheless. My friends felt otherwise. Desserts were also not a home run for us. The flan seemed to have lots of air pockets causing the texture to be spongy, and the tiramisu really lacked espresso and was almost all cream. Unfortunately those were a miss too. Our server, Carlos, was fabulous. Energetic, informative, and super friendly. We arrived for an early Saturday dinner just before 5 and he spent lots of time explaining the menu. However, it was clear by the end of the night that he was the only server taking orders for the whole restaurant. The remaining staff seemed to be helpers either running food, bussing tables, or refilling drinks. To order dessert, we had to wait for Carlos who was super busy, and to get our check, we had to specifically wait for the manager who was also the only host. So ordering dessert and asking for the check at the same time wasn't doable without getting the attention of two people on a busy Saturday night. One of our friends had to leave before dessert arrived because it took a whopping 45 mins to order dessert, get our dessert, and get our check. Wasn't thrilled. When we did finally get our check and pay, our change was short $20. We then had to wait at the front with a crowd of people just to get the check sorted out. Ouch. I know Choripan has a great reputation for it's food and I would consider a revisit, but for now I'll stand by my 3 stars for the hits and misses from my first meal here. read more

Wonderful food. Awesome service. Ambiance is fun. Would recommend highly. We will be back.

I came for dinner on a busy night. The ambiance is very comfortable, and we didn't wait more than a second for a table. We were greeted pleasantly and had good seats. The place is very loud and fast paced. Oddly that waiter came to take our order the moment the place started its loud Happy Birthday song to a fellow patron. I'm not sure why he picked that exact moment, but needless to say, our order was brought out incorrectly probably because of that. We ordered the platter for 2 with sides and a coke and water. FYI I think the place is byob which is definitely a plus. The bread that accompanied was good. The sides came out first, odd, but one of them was wrong and had to be sent back. Then the meats came out moments later. I did like the broccoli side, and mashed potatoes were fine, the meats unfortunately were a let down. The sausages were good, but the ribs and steaks were all fat. And I'm not anti-fat, it's where all the good flavor comes from. But it was just too much. We couldn't eat the ribs at all. Unfortunately our waiter was not observant to us trying to flag him down during our meals for water refills. I finally got a busboy to notice me, and kindly he brought us refills. The price is really good for the quantity of food that you are getting. I have to give it just an OK though because of the back and forth impressions of this place. read more

Staff tends to be rude. Chicken is 50/50 on whether it's cooked. The spices on the meat is top notch. Rice and salad are dependable, fries are usually undercooked. Great place to watch soccer and the dining room is usually clean. read more

Service and food was not good. Server took too long to take our order. We had to remind him to bring napkins, forks, water among others things. And still he forgot. Foood was burn and charred. It had the taste of burn oil. And it looks all black as if the grill was not cleaned before cooking our food. Definitely will not come back and recommend. read more

This place is awesome! They serve some mean skirt steak. It was so good, perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. I went there for dinner a couple of days ago and truly enjoyed myself. The servers are professional courteous and attentive without being overbearing. I ordered the Parrillada Americana and it was so much food I ended up taking most of it home. 40 dollars serves two people, is what the menu says but it really serves about 4 people. They are BYOB so you save money on drinks. I brought a cooler full of beers and enjoyed them oN my own with lots of meat. Four people and the bill was under 90 dollars, you can't beat that. The place looked pretty good with decor that was interesting. Big TVs and comfortable seating made for a desirable experience. I recommend it to anybody who loves to eat lots of meat. Their rice and beans were really good too. They also serve seafood which sounded interesting so I will try it next time I visit. read more

So disappointed. Used to come here a lot. Food is good but they charge you more $ than what's on the menu. The all beef platter for 2 has a sticker next to it that it's $100 but the check said $110 .... When I asked why they charged more they said they're waiting on a new menu.. but it's just a sticker with a price written. Change the sticker if your prices changed or tell us that when you bring the menu. Try to get over on you and that's wrong. Will not be coming back. read more
