Downtown Grocery & Deli - Serullos - Delis Near Me - Vineland, New Jersey

There is a lot of great Puerto Rican food in Vineland. Downtown was one of the top rated, and boy was it packed on a Sunday when I visited. Everyone is wearing masks and keeping safe and sanitary with COVID. They have tape marks on the floor, and customers were courteous to mind distance in line, etc. There were a lot of people stopping in for food at dinner time on a Sunday when I was there. They move the line somewhat quickly, but there was still a wait. Many people called ahead to order, but even those who did, ended up having to hang around a bit for their food. I was there over 20 minutes as a walk-in. The staff is friendly, but as others have mentioned, if you don't speak Spanish, there is a language barrier. I was there so long, though, that I observed that if they recognize you as a regular, they are more at ease about the language barrier because they memorize what their customers usually get, and it's easier to serve up what people want. So this tells me any complaints about language differences have more to do with the staff really wanting to please people, and just being nervous that they may not be able to get the order just as a customer wants it. For me, I have some Spanish skills, but I am not familiar enough with PR cuisine to know all these vocab words for food I can't even explain in English, so I didn't even try my Spanish until I got to the register, because I couldn't formulate a sentence around all the great looking foods to which I was totally ignorant. I always make fun of those laminated street sign menus that show pictures of food with prices... yeah, I understand why they make those. (They're still tacky though.) Anyway, I need to brush up on my PR food vocab, and maybe I'll get access to the delicacies they have to offer here! TIP: It definitely did help when I googled this place's FB photos and showed them what I wanted. They had big smiles of relief when they could know exactly what I wanted. They so want to please people here, you just have to calm down and be creative about communication. For my visit, they didn't have mofongo out in the case but when I asked for it, she made a special batch for me, which is totally a fifth star!!!! You pay at the front, and each takeout container is labeled so the cashier can tally it. This is a convenience store and takeout foods kitchen. There is also an eating area in front, with quite a few tables, and a view out the front window. read more

Many years at the end of the school year my students had a fiesta with their Spanish teacher in the classroom. Lots of food, music, etc. I sat at my desk grading papers. One of the student's mothers came in to help out. She prepared a plate of food for me. It was delicious! I had no idea what most of what I ate was. I asked the mother if she had made these things. She said normally she would have, but she had been short on time. She explained she had picked up all the food at the Downtown Deli. She wrote down the address. Ever since I have been hooked. I love this place. My go-to meal is a small rice and beans with roasted pork. It's enough for two, although I usually devour the whole thing alone. Total price? $3.50. You can't do any better than that. All the food is fresh. At lunch time be prepared for a line as this is a popular joint. Nothing fancy, but good Spanish food. My wife likes the savory turnovers. They frequently have coconut ice cream cups. Yum! During the school year it is not uncommon for me to drive over during my lunch period for a quick meal. There are a handful of tables in which to sit and eat your food. read more

We love this place! We travel 45 minutes to eat authentic Puerto Rican food and it never disappoints. Our favorites: rice, pork, stewed and baked chicken. My husband also likes the chitterlings. The prices are reasonable and the service is always quick. We love coming in and seeing so many other people of Spanish decent- (and other ethnicities too) enjoying the food and taking a few minutes to eat it while there. We always grab a table, eat, people watch and then get another platter to take home for later. If you also are looking to make your own Spanish food, they have several rows of the typical spices and beans, often times hard to find in your traditional super markets. Enjoy! read more

I like this place... Food is great and prices cannot be beaten. If I was to suggest only one thing... Some people at the kitchen need to greet customers better. Sometimes it seems like they are upset to be working... Smile once in a while and your customers would feel happy to come many times more. read more

The best Puerto Rican takeout in that part of town (runs neck and neck with Penalvert's)! The spicy chicken and variety of pastellilos make it special. You can get a hearty meal for less than $5. Seldom a wait and no complaints. Everytime I go back home to Vineland I MUST go! read more
