Food was fair, mostly rice on the plate with little meat. Went with 4 children and myself. I only had a small soup. The bill was 93 dollars, WOW NEVER RETURNING, prices are ridiculous 5 lemonades, 25 dollars read more

I love ordering from here whenever I need to a cater a party. They offer delivery, and have always been ON TIME! I always get compliments on the food and all my guests ask where it came from. I would definitely recommend! read more

The waitress are very rude , so unprofessional on the way they speak to the client is not a business environment that is welling to spend a good lunch and had to deal with unprofessionalism , i ask for avocado she said did not have and start it talking about how much they cost in the supermarket if you go to a place don't tell the customer how much they cost in the store. Do not recommend this place!!!!! read more

Costambar Restaurant - Fish and Rabo was delicious and tasty - Dominican Near Me - Paterson, New Jersey

Horrible service ! Two years in a row they managed to screw up our order and especially at this time in Christmas! We was supposed to have our order ready at 5pm and yet was not even done! And paid for in advance! I will never buy from here again! Good luck! read more

Amazing food , love the food , a lot to pick from, always delicious and pretty affordable

One of the better Dominican restaurants around Passaic county. Good especially for the workers and ride share drivers who are on the go and looking for a nice heavy grub. read more

This is most definitely the place to come to enjoy amazing Dominican cuisine with Dominican flavors that Grandma used to make. My wife ordered the Stew Mashed Eggplant with white rice and white beans (I reckon she likes all-white things). I got me Oxtail, Pigeon Peas rice. For Salad we got Avocado, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Beets and Cabbage. The food was splendid, very tasty. The service was excellent, out server was Mary, she handled our orders like a pro, super friendly and very helpful. Aridia another staff member, was also very nice and amiable. For drinks my wife had a Country Club Merengue (Cola Champagne) soda and I had a thick, delicious Morir Soñando (Orange Creamsicle). So far Costambar is the best Dominican joint in Paterson. We loved it! read more

Costambar Restaurant - Dominican Near Me - Paterson, New Jersey

This little spot is a great local find. The food is flavorful, inexpensive and comes in a large portion, so you get your moneys worth (always a plus). They have a pretty good selection of fresh food to pick from, my go to is always their chicken stew on a bed of rice and beans with some maduros (sweet plantains) on the side. The spot itself is kind of small so beware of the lunch and dinner rush hours! I have ordered out a couple of times because it was so packed, needless to say it still tasted good even after hauling them over to my house. The staff is also very nice and will answer any food questions you have, if you aren't familiar with Dominican food (do yourself a favor and get familiar). read more

Costambar Restaurant - Dominican Near Me - Paterson, New Jersey

First time eating here, ordered mofongo con chicarron and it was freshly made and tasted great. You get good bang for your buck

Roaches!!!!!! Stay out of this place. Food is great flavor but last time I visit there was a roach going around the food dishes. I told the lady that was helping me and she just took a napkin grab the roach and told me that was inevitable. They need a visit from the board of health asap!!!!!! I will never go there again read more

May be my new favorite Spanish spot. Steak & Onions was very good nice and moist and flavorful. Pernil was also very good most def will come back here! Best places are often the small places!!! read more

Very very good Dominican food. I judge by the beans and tostones and both were on point. I ordered to go and when I got home the tostones and chicken still had a crunch. This is my new to go spot. read more

Great Dominican food. Large portions, reasonably priced, and delicious. Very authentic.

I always come here for their white rice and steak with onions with my man & family. Highly authentic Dominican food. Would recommend to everyone. read more

I am NOT in Paterson that often but the food here was very good definitely will stop in again to eat if I'm in the area well worth it

We were in Paterson and wanted to get an early lunch. Very basic cafeteria style set up with maybe 8-10 tables or so. The service was standard. On the plus side, they have a very wide array of Dominican food with several rice & vívere options and a bunch of meats and fishes. We found the rice and guandules kind of bland. My roasted chicken was good but the chicken with lemon was kind of hard. Good jugos naturales. I would consider this place for future meals. The extensive menu makes it good for larger groups. If you like Dominican food, they almost definitely have what you want here. read more

Went here recently to talk about catering for a baby shower... We asked to try their roasted pork (pernil), roasted chicken (pollo asado) and steak with onions (bistek en cebollado) and there rice with chickpeas ( arroz con gandules) the food was Delish with just amount of seasoning and enough leftover to make a second meal!!!! And there price is very reasonable!!! I have also been here for breakfast los tres golpes (mashed plantains, salami, fried eggs) very good too!!! Portions here serve two per person guaranteed! read more

Great selection of Dominican food. Pork with yellow rice is my favorite with their homemade green sauce. Not the best area but worth the trip to get this kind of food! read more

I got off work ready for dinner, stopped at the Costambar, lady come I tell her what I want and how I would like it to be prepared, she stank face made my dinner container in such a rush like get outta here only myself and another lady there so no line, separate my rice beans an meat, she rudely walks away twisting her hand in Spanish she began to speak to the other lady, twisting her hand again long story but listen, Throw food together for your dog ! I'm human make my plate so that I enjoy it, not as if I vomited it back up read more

This place is awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed the selection and freshness of the food. The Pernil is one of the best in the city.

Best Dominican food ever!!! I always go there no matter where I live !!! And they are very nice and good portions.

Visiting family in town and my rather picky grandmother wanted some dominican food. My dad and i stopped here and had some of the best chicken, maduros and rice and beans. Service was quick and my grandma loved he food and the flan! read more

The food is great , but the service is horrible. I get treated horribly because I don't speak Spanish. Very unprofessional place. I have never experienced such service at a Spanish restaurant. I only order take-out and always tip generously.I try and communicate the best I can saying the food items in Spanish but the last time I went here was the last straw.... The girl behind the counter was so rude and refuse to help me because I wasn't fluent in Spanish. . Won't be spending money here ever again. read more

Love this place! Feels I'm eating food straight from DR. It's such a homey feeling with the food choices, Dominican music & the Spanish speaking lovely ladies that work there. The only downfall is that if you don't speak Spanish it's kind of hard to communicate with the workers, their English is really bad. But you can either eat there or take the food to go. Typical platters are $8. read more

The food is fantastic great taste Dominican food is delicious , nice people great service important they are clean .
