They don't open on time, came at 10am and there was a Dominican lady with an attitude at the front saying they open later. They need to fix their hours online if they're not going to have reliable employees to Open up and take care of customers. read more

I should sue this place, and I still may. I ordered roasted pork through Uber Eats. I thought it tasted a little funny, so I didn't finish it. A few days later, the symptoms started. I will spare you the gory details, but it wasn't pretty. Turns out I got serious food poisoning, which the doctors say came from undercooked pork. Antibiotics needed. Don't even feed this to your dog! read more

Okay, so it was my bf's and my first time visiting El Sol de Caribe tonight and we WENT TO TOWN. We got stewed chicken, BBQ chicken, roast pork over red beans and rice, and also a house made flan, okra stew, and sweet plantains on the side. The total came around $30, a very fair price considering generous portion and absolutely delicious food all lovingly made on site. Also there happened to be a birthday party when we went (I think she was a family member of the owner) and one of the family members offered us to take home a slice of cake! It was such a sweet surprise and my bf and I were both charmed by their kind gesture. We very much felt welcomed, as if we were their own family, even though it was clear that we were not from the neighborhood. We are so glad we drove 15 min to try out this place and certainly will be back for more delicious Dominican home cooked food! read more

El Sol Del Caribe - Yellow Rice and Stew Pork Plato yuca and Sweet Plantains - Dominican Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Ordered via Uber eats on a Sunday morning. Mangu tres golpes. To my surprise when it arrived it did not have any salami. How convenient for them. They did not add the most expensive item on the dish, which happened to be the reason why i ordered it in the first place THE SALAMI! ...first time ordering, not a good experience. Although the mangu was good, probably won't be ordering again. read more

El Sol Del Caribe - Flavorful Red Snapper and Black Rice. - Dominican Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Don't let your husband or man go there without you because next thing you know some woman who is supposed to be serving food is giving him their phone number . When I go with my man everyone acts nice and behave like employees who are there to do their job but when my guy goes there without me he's being given phone numbers and being flirted with as if it's a brothel instead of a restaurant. In spite of these women seeing him coming in there with me and my son my guy has been offered more than just food when I'm not around . The owner needs to address the way her employees behave with male patrons. Otherwise The food is really good. Just don't let your man go there without you.. read more

Very affordable, for those on a budget total plus ! Amd this place doesn't compromise food quality. Food is actually Really good, no thrills type of Dominican restaurant with delicious home cooked style Dominican food. They have a buffet with many selections that changes up on different days depending on the choices. I got the yellow rice which was sooo good, (i think it was seasoned with saffron if I could guess correctly sooo good), okras mixed in tomato sauce with gravy in the rice and roast pork and food was a1 reminds me of how my grandfather used to cook. They have indoor seating, but this spot to me is more of a get it, and go home. Take out spot. My meal was huge and came up to a cool $9.50 and they served me a TON of food !! Will be back guys!!! Thank you read more

Solid good Dominican food, hearty, delicious and healthy options for diabetics as well; delicious roasted Chicken, pork, octopus salad, yucca, several varieties of rice and beans, even Ceviche. If you find local police or Sherrie department officers in any restaurants that means it's delicious and affordable. I saw both here in my visit, cheers boys in blue. My roasted chicken over black beans and rice was delicious, I asked for stewed chicken broth to go over the rice (which I asked for a very small portion of), and several slices of avocado on top, there was a small upcharge of $1 and they were very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely return for the other dishes, check out my photos for a better idea of a late afternoon's offerings. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I've been going here for YEARS. Since elementary school so that's over 15 years. They never disappoint. The food is ALWAYS flavorful, fresh and oh so delicious! My favorite? Their empanadas! They offer both chicken and beef, but on rare occasion, I'm able to grab a cheese...my absolute fav! I will advise that parking is a bit of a challenge but that doesn't stop me. The prices are fair but the portions are even fairer. I've had the yellow rice, white rice, stew chicken, ziti, macaroni salad, tres leche and many more, all of which has have been amazing. If you're looking for some great food and great flavor, please make the trip. read more

Yo ordene por Uber eat y la comida fue excelente! Muy rica fresca, y sobretodo hecha con Amor Muchas gracias por tan buen servicio. read more

I absolutely love coming here. This is perfect for a quick, no wait lunch but there isn't a large eating area so it's best for sit, eat, and go or take out. I wouldn't come here with a large group of people because again its a small place. The food though is always fresh and tastes great. They have a good variety of food that is already made that you can choose from along.I personally love the beef stew. It's awesome. Lunchtime can be a little busy but the ladies here are always nice and keep things moving quickly. I've always had a good experience coming here. read more

My husband and I came here because our car was in the shop for maintenance. This small restaurant had very high ratings and great reviews. There were a bunch of groups here when we arrived. There were plenty of seats for everyone. I ordered the pork ribs and okra over rice and beans. The pork was falling off the bone. And okra was well cooked and lightly seasoned. Rice and beans were cooked perfectly. My husband got the pork and chicken with mashed yucca over rice and beans. The pork was very tender. The chicken was falling off the bones as well. They were well seasoned and not too salty. Mashed yucca as very interesting, which tasted like mashed potato but with a different texture. read more

Pernil was bangin! And they know how to properly make plantains! Dangerous. Highly recommend!

Did a lunch delivery for 2 people - BBQ chicken plate with red rice and beans; half chicken with yellow rice and fried plantains. Everything was flavorful and cooked perfectly. Plenty of leftovers. No issues with the delivery and staff was very nice on the phone. Will order again. read more

I only eat halal. They have the best yellow rice and beans! I've tried a few spots and they even beat a spot in Puerto Rico. A must try- smells amazing and nice staff. They even hooked me up with more beans. My son only eats beans from here! read more

This spot has been my go to for Dominican food for the past 10 years, I've been coming here since I was 12 and lived around the block from them. The quality of the food has never changed, amazing as always. My go to is always the chicken stew, the bone is always falling off the bone and super flavorful and moist. They have great lunch and dinner specials for under 10$ read more

Just about every time I go home to visit my parents, I make a quick stop here. Whether it is for a lunch, dinner or just something to go for my next few days, it is a mandatory stop. Stumbled up on this joint and was addicted ever since. Where can you find a $3 box of yellow rice (or brown) and some stew chicken (or whatever other dish you want). This is sooo my go to, but I have had the BBQ chicken as well. This thing is so filling, I would split it into two smaller meals, but now I am able to consume the whole thing in one sitting. Upgrade to a larger size for just a fraction of the price and get more sides. A meal of $10 can definitely feed two. Their specials are on different days of the week, ox tail is one that I crave all the time, but always seem to miss out. Service is so good here. Not racist at all, always friendly and we even got our daddios hooked on this place. He forgot his wallet once, they said just take the food home and pay next time. SERIOUSLY?! Commend you, your staff, your business plus more read more

I give it 2 stars because The food is good. But the attitude on the women there is horrible. Ive known the owner since the place opened and if shes not there, the employees treat non-hispanic customers pretty badly. The server acted like i was inconveniencing her when i ordered more than one dish, tying the bag closed before i can even finished my order. Then she would suck her teeth because i wasnt done ordering and had to untie the bag. At first, i thought i was crazy, but i tested this theory when i brought my latino fiancee with me. They treated him so nicely and filled our to-go containers to the brim and even asked him if there was anything else he wanted. When i went in by myself i was being rushed and my to-go order looked like it was only half way filled. I have not yet recommended this place to anyone. I dont want to get the backlash if the people i recommend this place to, gets treated unkindly. read more

El Sol Del Caribe makes me wish I lived closer to Jersey City. I ordered the beef stew with the rice with black beans. Thinking about it now is making my mouth water. It was delicious, well-portioned, and very reasonably priced. I can't wait to try more of their food. I also had a beef empanada. It was crispy, so flavorful, and not too oily. My two friends who do live in Jersey City introduced me to this restaurant, and they enjoy eating from here. So I'm sure that means it's consistently good. read more

Best Spanish food in Jersey City for years!! Clean and always fresh food. The roast pork and the oxtails is a staple to me! Always a must have read more

The food is so perfect that nobody would even believe me if I began to explain it. I'll start by saying best chicken in Jersey City then I'll go ahead and add on top of that... my favorite restaurant in general. Everybody in there is so sweet and so helpful with my millions of questions. I got so much food and it was reasonably priced. I literally don't want to cook anymore I just want to go here every night for dinner. Do yourself a favor and just try everything cause nothing is less than perfect. read more

They cancelled my order and didn't say anything until we checked Uber Eats wondering where our order is.

Small local hidden gem, if your ever in Jersey City Greenville section and want amazing lunch or dinner for $5,$6 this is the best food for the price. They usually have roast pork, chicken, beef stew, oxtail with 3/4 different kinds of rice, beans and plantains. One of my favorite spots perfect mix of great food and great price. read more

Been coming here to this Dominican spot for over a decade now. I've gotten mostly everything on the menu and it's delicious. I usually go for the chicken stew with rice. Or the beef empanadas. Everything is good for the price. Will always come back here if I'm ever in the mood for yummy yet convenient Dominican food read more

I ordered BBQ chicken and yellow rice with vegetables and flan thru Seamless Very good. Will order again. Very impressed with presentation and the flavor. read more

Ate here a few times. Good quality and DELICIOUS food. Good service. Large portions. COMING BACK.

10/10 best place in JC. You bugging if you don't think so. The people are so nice and the food's good.

Another great place in our rotation, if fact over 5+ years we've been coming here...Consistent, well prepared, and very inexpensive Spanish food! $6 gets you rice, beans and an entrée that will definitely fill you up! Some of the entrée selections: - Pernil - Roasted chicken - Ox tail - Beef stew You can thank me later...lol read more

We love comida criolla! Domicinan, Puerto Rican....all of it. This is the perfect place for a generously portioned tasty PR lunch/dinner. For the price of junk fast food take out you can have home made slow food!!!! Perfect!!!! Highly reccomend. read more

Probably one of the best Latin Dominican restaurants in Jersey City to grab a quick affordable delicious and very filling meal. This buffet style spot offers your typical Spanish food like rice and beans, pork, chicken and beef steak options as well as some more traditional entrees like goat, ox tail, mondongo and many other tasty dishes and deserts. The staff is friendly, especially the owner who always takes good care of you with a smile on her face. read more

Excellent food, warm, friendly service. Marybel exudes hospitality and her wonderful husband is a great host. The pernil had crunchy, succulant skin and was very tender. I recommend the plantains and okra, both were very tasty. We are coming back again for the seafood salad next time. read more

I've lived one block away from this spot for 11 out of the 26 years of my life. This is my go to when I'm broke and hungry. Without fail, every time- I order the pernil with yellow rice and the pollo guisado with yellow rice. I have some of each and save the rest for left overs. For $12 I eat for 2+ days. The food has tasted consistently the same for as long as I can remember and in 10+ years the prices and portions have not changed. This neighborhood has changed a lot over the last decade but I'm really glad that this place has lasted. read more

Food is amazing but you guys have to work on your attitudes. There be times where I want to stop by and get some great food and give you guys business, but at the same time don't want to be disrespected, like as if I've done something to you. I'll take my business elsewhere if it's that much of a bother.. read more

I live nearby and this is my go-to place for pernil or baked chicken, with yellow rice, plantains, and if I feel gluttonous, some yucca. The okra is pretty good too and I hate okra. The portions are pretty big that I have some leftover for lunch the next day or dinner later that day. All that food for less than $10. I think the owner knows me by now as she always greets me when I come in. Shoot, maybe I'll get dinner there tomorrow. read more

this place was delish. came to the pad, told them to serve me special roast meat w rice and side. came out to 36$. might have been cheaper to get individual dish read more
