Ambience: Not too loud, nice rustic situation…read more Service: The servers are all very sweet, especially the meat guys! You can tell they have fun doing what they do. I decided to tip in cash, (i told the hostess this too) and they took gratuity anyway, which the restaurant wouldn't help with- so i had to go through my bank; so just don't tip in cash just deal with the gratuity. I had to ask for water, for whatever reason it's not something they just give you, when you sit down. I was given a good cocktail, but once finished no one came to check and ask if i wanted another. I got full fast so was in and out quick. it wasn't insanely busy, i'd come friday during the day. i would like to give this place another shot with friends perhaps, maybe lack of service is because i wanted to go alone.

Went to Taste of Brazil for rodizio on a Friday. It looks newer than some of the other rodizio…read moreplaces in the Ironbound. We were seated quickly, and the waitress took our drink order. After confirming we were going with the full rodizio experience, she explained we had access to their hot buffet/salad bar, and the staff would soon come with skewers of meat. At $45 per person, Taste of Brazil is signficantly cheaper than other rodizio restaurants in the area. The meat selection is very similar to the other rodizio restaurants in the Ironbound, but I will note that they did not have beef rib. I would have scored them higher, but I found most of the beef options to be kind of tough. My favorite meat options coming around were the lamb, chicken, and chicken hearts. We ended our meal with the grilled pineapple covered in cinnamon and grilled cheese with honey. Both were delicious. Parking is a pain the area, but at their price point, I'd go again.

I've always wondered when I'll find a more aesthetic Ecuadorian spot and I finally found one. This…read moreis not your typical hole-in-the-wall (that's what Ecuadorian places tend to be and where the best food is) it's a beautiful restaurant you actually want to recommend and brag about. So glad this place exists. The aesthetic is really well done, and the food absolutely delivers. The drinks were just as impressive. I started with the ceviche de camarón, which was fresh and flavorful, but the true standout was the seco de chivo, rich, tender, and packed with flavor. The menu is extensive and diverse, so there's truly something for everyone. I feel like ecuadorian food is so underrated, and this spot does an amazing job showcasing it. Yes, it's in Bayonne, but it's easy to get to and there's plenty of street parking. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

The food was awesome. I ordered the Llapingachos for my meal. It only was the food good but there was plenty of it. No way I was finishing it. It came with steak, fried egg, rice, and the potato patties with peanut butter sauce was great. The salad was also very good. Had the maduros con queso and muchines de yuca for appetizers and both were excellent. The humitas were also excellent. Good hot sauce too. For dessert I tried the Higos con queso (figs with cheese). Very good. The service was friendly and attentive. The restaurant was very clean. Overall this place was a hit.

It seems the super-expensive ones and those with good prices but two stars on Yelp fared better than the middle market. As of press time, the dinner buffet is $18.99 on weekdays and $19.99 Saturday, while the Sunday all-day price is $19.99. Hibachi Grill needs a couple more must-haves on the Chinese side of the fence though I enjoyed the sushi. By comparison, Grand Buffet in Ramsey may have a smaller collection but a better hit-miss ratio. The weakest link was the Thai chicken, just not much going on. General Tso's was well-crafted. The coconut shrimp was better than the stuffed shrimp. If you go for teriyaki be sure to get some mushrooms. The string beans were decent. While there wasn't a vast choice of vegetable entrees, you'll be rewarded if you swing by the sushi area for kimchi and seaweed salad. Since I put up some numbers I took it easy for dessert. I liked the banana pudding. The service was very good.

Amazing! Came here for a lovely anniversary dinner :)…read more This place has that old school Bayonne charm. Plus the outside porch area is cute and nautical, has a water feature with koi fish. The inside is rustic, and coastal themed. The servers were very nice and attentive. The portions huge and the prices right. We split the combo for 2 that was $54 and came with a huge lobster tail, filet mignon, chicken and grilled shrimp. Plus three sides which are rice, green beans and broccoli and home made potato chips. Also per person include soup or salad! And they bring over warm rolls, which were excellent and crunchy on outside and fluffy on inside. The potato chips tasted so fresh, lightly seasoned and delicious. The fish and meat were cooked perfectly. The steak had a nice char and sear on the outside. We got the tartufo for dessert and it was delicious, super creamy ice cream and decadent chocolate shell. Definitely want to come back! Great value, service and quality of food. 5/5.

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Mediterraneo. From the moment we walked in, it felt like stepping back in time but in the most nostalgic, welcoming way. Our meal began with warm dinner rolls, followed by soup, salad, and a delicious seafood antipasto. My husband had the pork chop, and I ordered the paella with chicken and Spanish chorizo. Both dishes were seasoned beautifully and absolutely delicious. The rice in the paella was especially outstanding, soaking up all the incredible flavors from the chicken and chorizo. Two great cocktails later, we left already planning our next visit. Exceptional food, attentive service, generous hospitality, and a timeless dining experience that's becoming harder to find. Mediterraneo is truly a must-try! Ps the restaurant was filled with locals. I feel like maybe they're not writing reviews and this is impacting their overall score. Definitely worth a visit.

Everything tasted incredibly fresh, especially the mangu, Cuban sandwich and Rabo - which was amazing! And the desserts were absolutely outstanding -- we left & took home habichuela con dulce and she shared some of her special dessert with us to try and enjoy! My grandson took it lol. It's the perfect ending to a wonderful meal. Her son was also so personable and kind, which made the experience even more memorable for my entire family. It's rare to find a place that combines amazing food with such heartfelt hospitality. We had an amazing time and will absolutely return whenever we're back in the New Jersey area. Thank you, Juana and son, for the incredible food, kindness, and unforgettable experience!

This is a typical…read moreself-service buffet type of restaurant which is very common in Brazilian communities in Newark-NJ, Astoria-NY and many other locations. You make your plate, weigh and pay about $10 per pound. My feijoada plate from the attached picture had a little less than a pound so I paid around $9 which is a great deal especially if you compare to other restaurants in the area. The restaurant is somewhat small, simple, but there are enough tables for everyone even during lunch hours. Staff is friendly, they give you privacy to pick your food without anyone bothering you, food is tasty and the variety is ok. I wish they had Brazilian barbecue similar to other restaurants in the area but I can't really complain because the food and price were great. Compared to other Brazilian restaurants in the area this place has a big advantage because the process is very simple. Other restaurants such as Casa Nova, Cantinho Mineiro, Delícia de Minas also offer a buffet option but their process is very complicated. They have a prix fixe option for a set price and then if you add meat it's a different price, if you want to take something to go you need to pick a prix fixe container for a different price. It's just too confusing and I don't really like that, hence my preference for this Brazilian buffet restaurant. Don't expect any luxury or lots of variety. This is a practical restaurant offering food for a fair price. I definitely recommend it. Note that there's just street parking and the Wilson Ave area tends to be busy so keep that in mind.
