However, that Lula's of Lodi is not open on Sundays, while this one is, hence why I decided to finally go the extra mile (literally) to check this Lula's out. To be honest, I didn't look at much of the menu (although I'm sure much of it is good), EXCEPT for the Daily Specials. Each day, just like the other Lula's, there are different items that you can order for a VERY, VERY reasonable price ($8.50 and up as of Sept. 2023). It's actually quite shocking that you can order an entree of anything in 2023 for just $8.50, but you can here! All of the Daily Specials come with a protein of your choice (depending on what's available that day) + white/yellow rice and pinto beans. When I say protein of your choice, like I said, various days will have a different offering, such as, Shredded Beef/Ropa Vieja, Chicken Stew, Roasted Pork/Pernil, Baked Chicken, 1/2 Chicken, Pork Stew, Ox Tail Stew, Baked Chicken, etc. On our 1st visit to this location, we ordered a few entrees to try - Shredded Beef/Ropa Vieja, Roasted Pork/Pernil, Baked Chicken, 1/2 Chicken and Baked Chicken. To sum it up, everything was good and the portions were HUGGGGE. So much so that we easily split each entree into 2 meals. Yellow, and even the White, rice were tasty. The meats were solid - some on the drier side, but it's to be expected with Pernil and pieces of white meat Baked Chicken. The pinto beans definitely helped with adding some moisture to the meal. Since this location is located within the Bergenfield town, you can only find parking strictly on the street. Also, this location has a few tables that you can dine in on, but just about every customer I saw walk in, walked back out with takeout. Just about all of the employees didn't speak much English here and only one was delegated to help me because they spoke it somewhat, so try to be patient when ordering if you don't speak Spanish. And, one more tidbit is that you can order online via their website, but it's possible that not all of the items that you purchase will be available, so when you show up, they might ask you to order what's available.

I don't understand why the customer service is so poor. The food was okay, but with service like that, I would definitely think twice before coming back. It's also pretty expensive for what you get.

Among all, the service.... Did not seem welcome at all. The meal portion was way smaller than other places - We had guacamole (brought out from the kitchen rather than prepped right on the spot), skirt steak Argentino with chimichuri sauce. The steak was very well grilled medium to our request but wow ..... we've had this at other locations and it was the smallest of all. Paying $32 for that steak was .... Hummmmm .....

I couldn't finish the whole meal bc there was a good amount of food. Overall had a good experience. If you are in the mood to feast for a fair price for breakfast, I would recommend Noches. * Parking on premise - valet * Good service * Fair prices * not loud background music in the morning

Upon walking in, everything was very clean and we were welcomed immediately. Upon meeting our server, I went with his recommendation. I went with the chicharon with rice and beans with avocado. My wife went with the steak with the rice and beans. The kid isn't very adventurous and went with a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. The chicharon was excellent. Nice and crispy and not chewy. There was a TON of food. I can eat and I brought a decent handful home. To wash it down, I had a cappuccino with my breakfast. Definitely a thumbs up on this converted diner. When I was a kid, I grew up a few towns over and this was always a diner. Phenomenal job and worth checking out.

A Taste of Island Spice 1287 Teaneck Rd…read more Teaneck, NJ 07666 Jerk Chicken Lunch Special Spinach Patty This locally owned Caribbean restaurant is located along the Teaneck Road strip. After passing it numerous times, I decided to explore one of their lunch options. Spinach Patty: Initially, I was reluctant to try a vegetarian patty. As soon as I took my first bite, I immediately took a liking to this appetizer. The spinach filling was warm and tasty. And the outer crust had a slight crunch. Jerk Chicken Lunch: The chicken was tender and juicy with a mild kick. The outer skin was seasoned perfectly. Also included were two miniature cups of jerk sauce (not pictured). The reddish colored dip was great for dipping the chicken, rice & peas and even the spinach patty. I was grateful the sauce was not poured over the meal; then it would have dried up. The indoor dining area is limited to high top counters and a few outdoor dining tables. Island Spice does not have their own parking lot, but plenty of parking is available on local side streets. There is also a free municipal parking lot a few blocks away. This location may be a hole in the wall, but the Caribbean food is outstanding and you will definitely get an authentic "taste" of Jamaica. #caribbeanfood #atasteofislandspice #jerkchicken #spinachpatty #jamaicanpatty #teanecknj

(Sorry Golden Krust but, this is 10000000x better) This weekend I couldn't help it because I was craving oxtail. This place is 100% legit so authentic and jammed packed with delicious flavors. They have daily specials and they sell out quick. I came too late and missed their breakfast item ackee & salt fish. Next time I'll try to wake up early !! Their oxtail was so tender, juicy, saucy, paired with rice and peas and cabbage. They made sure that we had gravy on our rice too!! Their jerk chicken was grilled outdoor and it was not even dry. I cannot believe how good it was, I was so happy. Their spicy sweet chili sauce was perfection while dipping the jerk chicken. Also, I loved their Mac and cheese. It was hot, cheesy, not dry, and flavorful. A big treat is all their yummy drinks in their fridge. I suggest the Ting soda with grapefruit!!! Everyone is friendly (workers + customers) The whole restaurant is so cool because locals come and I feel that everyone just vibe with each other. I can't wait to come back and try their beef ribs!!!!
