Rice was hard and I notice if you aren't Hispanic the amount of food they serve you is cheap .

I've been going to this place since I was in grade school. The lady who owns it is the sweetest thing and knows me by name. Her son still works with her and its a family establishment. They have good priced and tasty food. The also cater, did my friends party and it didn't dissapoint. There was nothing left! Dont judge a book by its cover, its a gem. read more

solid spanish food. rice, beans, chicken in garlic sauce, stewed beef, empanadas, ect... the counter lady is the nicest person in town. if you are in the mood for a feast under $10, def the spot to stop by. read more

Do not recommend it. Found a hair in my food and a mouse running around the same day. Portions are small too

The food was very bland for a Spanish food typical of this area and they charge me $12 for a plate when other places charge between six dollars and eight dollars read more

Love this place!!!!! They have the best flan ever but it's seasonal lol whatever that means!

very good - except i went end of day and roast pork i got was very dry everything else yellow rice, beans, BBQ chicken - excellent read more

my head hurts. my friend got married yesterday, music was performed, drinks were had - lots of drinks - there was no time for food; too much fun stuff going on. I need to get to La Concha. this tiny Puerto Rican luncheonette has great pernil, maduros, yuca frita, RELLENAS, empanadillas, etc., etc. so good. rice and beans. mmm.... the food is so delicious and the family is warm. I miss mi abuela. I think that's all I need to say - read more

This is my kind of place! Latin American food that tastes like its homemade and an amazing owner (I think) that made me feel like family. I love this spot!! read more

Been coming here since I was a kid. Best empanadas ever and best pernil (roast pork) you'll ever have!

Its as good as going to Abuela's Kitchen! The food warms my heart every single time! The pan fried chicken can be salty at times but nonetheless great! Fast, affordable cultured food! read more

Great food , awesome flavor and good seasonings of their food and they serve large portions and prices are very good . This is a great spot for some of that Dominican/ Puerto Rican take out food . Awesome customer service too read more

Where should I begin? With the sweetest ladies EVER or their delicious food trays?! We have been loyal customers of this place for years! Their puerto rican food is so yum and reasonably priced. I bet you won't find better quality with better prices elsewhere! read more

The Chicken empanadas are amazing. The Churrasco is loaded with flavor if just a but over cooked, not tough but I prefer a medium rare. The service is very homey and warm which adds to the appeal. read more

The food is decent, but they have a sneaky habit of charging a dollar or two more than the prices on the menu. It's happened to me twice now. When I called this woman behind the counter out about it, she claimed that the menu prices recently changed. Then why not change the menu or at least give a heads-up? read more

I moved back to the Heights, and this was my first stop! This is a family business that been in the area for over 15 years. The food is amazing and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. I've ordered the baked chicken, pernil, bbq chicken, empanadas, beans, and maduros, and more. I've never been disappointed. Portions are generous! read more

Went here for lunch with a coworker. Quick, easy, friendly service and absolutely delicious...I will be back.

Great little spot. The food is always fresh and delicious! The empanadas and flan are a bit hit in our house.

I love this place. They have the best Spanish food I have had from any restaurant. It tastes just like food from home that is not only delicious but also made wirh love. My husband I relocated to Pennsylvania and refused to let that stop us from enjoying food from this wonderful place. We drive almost 2 hours each way as often as we can to enjoy dinner here. The prices are fair and the portions are generous. What more can you ask for. My family knows the owners and the whole family is so wonderful and kind. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

One of the best restaurants in jersey city! Ive lived in JC all my life and this place has great people working there as well as amazing food. The prices are very reasonable as well. The empanadas are sooo yummy too! Always recommend anyone who asks for good Spanish food. read more

This place is the best Spanish food you will get outside of a Spanish home, the peril is slamming. The seafood is freshly made and the alcapurrias are top notch. Great place to have a meal read more

When someone says Guava Empanadas, you wouldn't think that sounds very appetizing, would you? Well, you'd be wrong. These guava empanadas were so amazing! Crispy, but a little sweet, and absolutely amazing. If nothing else, I'm definitely returning for the empanadas. read more

La Concha is awesome. The food is great and everyone is so friendly. The chicken and beef empanadas are great. I also love the pernil and pollo guisado. Great catering for parties and great stop for lunch or just a delicious cafe con leche. read more

The place is clean and the staff is attentive and nice, but the food isn't all that tasty. Maybe it's because I got the chicken soup but it was very bland and the chicken had a funny taste. read more

I have been coming here for a few years now and I believe the service has gone down. they have become very expensive for small portioned food sizing. great quality food for stop in a pick up but just over priced. they also charge for simple things like beans on the side instead of drowning over your entire plate of food, $2 for a small white rice that usually accompanies chicken soup that is already $5. by all means I understand controlling portions and some people being greedy for cheep but this plate size could have fed my 5 year old daughter for $9.50. It was chicken and WHITE RICE! the least expensive items on a menu. read more

This is the best restaurant in Jersey City! No matter what you order, everything is delicious!

The first time I tried Spanish food was at this place, and it was bangin! It's few blocks away from my school, and I'd definitely come back.

Who doesnt like La Concha? The owner makes sure you are taken care of and give you that motherly vibe. Food is tasty. very cheap and great service! If you are hungry and want a quick, tasty, sumptious mean, you wont get disappointed here. read more

Been eating this food since I moved to Jersey City in 1999. It is simply excellent. Every dish is fantastic, large portions, totally affordable. They make amazing potato salad, too. The people who work here are really sweet, too. LOVE IT. read more

Food here is really nice, but best part of coming here is the lady that makes it. She is really just such a nice person that it makes you want to come back. Food is excellent too, and its an inexpensive place to eat. read more

One of my favorite places to eat in the heights! Their food is so tasty, especially their pork. I really can't get enough of this place.

Delicious food and the sweetest lady who owns the place! Insider tip...you get more food, even if it's takeout, when you go there and get it rather than order it. But the delivery is really quick! read more
