If you're craving real Colombian flavor, Charrys is the spot! The chicken was perfectly seasoned,…read morejuicy, and full of that homemade taste you can't fake. The sides were delicious too -- sweet plantains, rice, and a fresh salad that balanced everything perfectly. The place feels cozy and clean, and the staff is super friendly. You can tell they really care about quality. Definitely one of the best spots for Colombian-style chicken in Passaic!

I enjoyed my experience at Charry's. It is a small restaurant with minimal seats. I had conducted…read morean experiment in Colombia of trying Limonada de Coco at every restaurant I went to so I had to try it here. I was pleasantly surprised that it was delicious. Charry's rotisserie chicken stole the show. Their chicken is delicious packed with flavor and is tender. The arroz con pollo was dry but the beans I had was an excellent addition to wet the rice. The flan I tried was okay nothing special. I would come back here and get an entire rotisserie chicken.

This is now the third time in a row that I've been charged hidden or unauthorized fees on my bill…read more What made this even more concerning is that they didn't provide me with an itemized breakdown of my bill. It was only after I asked to see the receipt and questioned the total that I discovered they had added extra charges. Every time I've confronted them, they've refunded the money--but only after I caught it myself. The most recent visit was the worst. We were a party of two, yet they automatically added a 20% gratuity to the bill without making it clear. Then, on top of that, they asked me to leave the tip in cash, without mentioning that a 20% tip had already been added. That's extremely misleading. As for the food, it's very basic and nothing worth going out of your way for. At this point, after three separate incidents, it's hard to believe these are just mistakes. I strongly recommend everyone ask for an itemized bill and review it carefully before paying. Based on my repeated experiences, I would avoid this business altogether.

Rum in my cup, rumba in my step~…read more I'm no stranger to Rumba Cubana... It's my favorite Cuban restaurant group in New Jersey. I've visited multiple locations over the past few years and I've never been disappointed! They don't miss! No matter which spot I go to, the quality of the food, the warm service, and the lively ambiance are consistently amazing. We visited the Rochelle Park location on a Saturday night. It's right on Rt17 with a large parking lot, but it was packed when we arrived. There was a line of cars backed into the highway waiting for valet service. It's complimentary, so tip as you please. I honestly don't like to valet my car...... especially when I could easily park it myself right there LOL. But we didn't have a choice. *shrug* As always, Rumba's vibrant atmosphere didn't disappoint. You can feel the energy as soon as you walk in! The upbeat Latin music will have you swaying, I promise ;) The interior beautifully captures the culture and history of Cuba with colorful artwork, tropical plants, rattan pendant lamps, and large murals of Havana. It has a touch of elegance without feeling too upscale, so this restaurant is perfect for casual dining and special occasions like celebrations or date nights. We didn't have reservations and had to wait around 15 minutes for a table for two. No biggie - we sipped at the bar until our table was ready! The menu offers traditional Cuban dishes like ropa vieja, vaca frita, and bistec de palomilla along with a variety of tapas, mofongos, sandwiches, and sides. I ordered: *Taino Cocktail [El Jimador Reposado Cristalino, Ancho Reyes Verde, Tamarindo Pure, Agave Syrup, Fresh Lime Juice] ($14.95) - Oooo this was a sweet & spicy mix with a strong tequila finish! It's like a spicy margarita with a tropical twist. *Caribbean Punch Cocktail [Tanduay White Rum, Tanduay Gold Rum, Plantation Overproof Rum, Lime Juice, Guava, Orange, Pineapple Juice, Grenadine] ($13.95) - This drink was screaming my name! It's fruity, refreshing, and makes you feel like you're on an island. I just wish it had a liiiiiiitle more rum for a stronger punch, and that the glass wasn't filled with so much ice. *Ropa Vieja [shredded beef stewed in a sauce made with tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, garlic, cumin, olives, and sherry wine] ($15.95) - Cuba's national dish! The tomato-based sauce was perfectly seasoned and the beef was sooo tender... melt-in-your-mouth type of tender! My tummy was happy, but I wish the portion size was bigger! I paired it with a side order of tostones (fried plantains) and arroz blanco (white rice) with frijoles negros (black beans). The fluffy rice soaked up the rich sauces of the black beans & ropa vieja, so every bite was savory heaven~ The tostones were sliced, deep fried, and smashed to perfection. Crispy tostones + garlic mojo sauce = a perfect pairing. I could eat these all day! The only thing that's really missing here is...Can you guess? A DANCE FLOOR. Once they make room for that, y'all know where to find me. I'll be at the bar for drinks first and then dancing later! Need to satisfy your Cuban cravings? Look no further. Put some rumba in your step and head over here!
