There is a difference. The staff is cordial and more than happy to explain what's on the menu. The lunch is more than sufficient. A full bowl of soup AND the main. The soup is a meal in itself; shredded white meat chicken, carrots, celery, potatoes, scallions, a touch of cilantro, the broth in itself is enough to fill an appetite. Nothing is overwhelmed by herbs or spices. Succulent chicken, tasty beans, the Maduros were perfect. The atmosphere is inviting. The kitchen is clean and there's additional seating in the back.

We made reservations and upon arrival it was not busy, yet every table had a reserved sign on it …read more We tell the hostess we have reservations and they set up our table. You can see in the photos it appears they're trying to be more of a cocktail lounge/ restaurant as there was a stage in the front. Wasn't thrilled with table as the corners were broken and they gave us fold up chairs. This just gave me a local food spot feel vs cocktail lounge. As we sit down we were approached by 2-3 servers. Put in our drinks and appetizer order. Both of which were good, tasty. Our dinner was arroz con pollo and pernil. Found it odd they added bits of fried chicken cutlet on top of the areoz con pollo. Dessert was passion fruit cheesecake. We enjoyed our time but not sure I'd come back to dine in. Would likely order takeout. Staff was nice. Friendly. Food was good. Hot. Cheesecake was frozen even though it tasted good. I think with an increase in Latin/Caribbean cuisine places in the area, this is just okay. Not sure how the night scene is.

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.

I looked up lunch in the area and what got me with El Bambu is the photo of the Sopa de Galla. I mean cmon that looks so effing home made. The waitress said they have that soup on Saturday and Sundays so ill be going back for that! Edit: we came back a week later and the Sopa de Galla was exaaaactly as I thought it would be. Oh my god, it tastes exactly as the chicken soup my grandma made back home in Azerbaijan. Its healing and i asked the waitress to please never take it off the menu. (Like she has control ) - The people working here are super nice and polite. - Food is outstanding - we felt like we were actually traveling in Guatemala while we ate inside - price for the amount of food is more than fair - love that they dont blast the AC in the summer (seems like only a fan is on but it feels comfortable)

Just few minutes down the road, I stepped into a place which took me back to the local places in DR (A cozy place with 3 tables).

And even thou it was after lunch hours, people just kept coming in for various dishes. Our food came out and those first bites were simply delicious. Mofongo was done to perfection, seasoned correctly and not dry (like most places); chicharrones were nicely crisp, not over fried with side of plantains which complemented the dish to a tee. We even got a complementary piece of cake from a local customer (like who does that). Amazing. Can't rave more about it but I want more... next time.
