I can always appreciate when a resturant has good vibes and people. The food came out quick and fresh. I had the torta which was passable and the fries were just the right amount of crispy. Nothing else to note. My husband got the tacos which he rated a 7/10, which is quite a good rating for him as he is a Mexican Texan and adores his tacos. One of the better mexican restaurants we have had in Jersey but still on the hunt for one comparable to the ones in Texas!

This was my first visit to Bussin Empanadas in Avenel, NJ, and I had a good experience overall. The…read moreservice was great, and the clerk was friendly and welcoming. The potato ball had a flavorful beef filling, but the potato itself was a little bland and slightly over-fried. 8/10. The Dominican Cuban sandwich was just okay for me. I wasn't a fan of the cabbage, it was a bit messy to eat, and the pork flavor seemed a little off. 7/10. The yuca fries were outstanding--crispy, delicious, and even better with both the signature pink sauce and the cilantro garlic sauce. 9.5/10. I also tried the chicken, pork, and cheese empanadas. At $4.75 each, they're generously stuffed and a good value. The chicken and pork were both tasty but a little dry, so I'd give each an 8/10. The cheese empanada was my favorite--gooey and delicious, though it could use a touch more salt. 9/10. Both dipping sauces were excellent. The pink sauce had a classic Dominican mayo-ketchup base with garlic and a nice tang, while the green cilantro garlic sauce was fresh and flavorful. 9/10 for both. The restaurant feels more like a takeout spot than a dine-in destination. There is seating available, but the décor is pretty minimal. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the empanadas, fries, and sauces, and I look forward to trying more of the menu.

There was a small line and we ordered the breakfast and beef empanadas Both were so flavor and there was a lot of filling.

So, I went in there not knowing what I wanted and I asked for their recommendation. And of course they recommended Bandeja Paisa. I'm pretty sure you can order it with whatever protein you want, I got it with beef, a thin-sliced piece of steak. I also ordered chicken tacos. I didn't know that there was gonna be so much food. I ate the tacos first - they're big, filling, and made with really fresh ingredients. So delicious, esp with some hot sauce. The Bandeja Paisa is pretty much good for two people. Everything was delicious and well-seasoned. I'll be back

They have a lot of different flavors to choose from as well as a dessert empanada. The staff was very sweet and explained the different menu options and combinations that you can get with the empanadas as well as drinks and sauces. They have a long list of Housemade sauces so I definitely recommend trying some. There was no indoor seating from what I saw, but there is plenty of outdoor seating right in front of the restaurant.

You can call ahead (and should if you are in a hurry) to get the paella. It takes about 40 minutes to make but the wait is worth it.

Croquetas were so gooooooood. Papas bravas were a nice touch. Chorizo was alright. Calamari with the aioli sauce was good. For the paellas, flavor was pretty good but the rice was undercooked on both, the seafood one felt fresher than the lobster one as per the lobster I'm guessing is just sliced and dropped onto the paella without cleaning it first, guess a little more prep time will make these way better in the future.
