This is a small takeout place with about 3 tables that are often full. They do booming business and…read moreare often packed with nearby construction workers or laborers. The food is ok and prices are reasonable. I usually get rice and beans with pernil or pepper steak, I also get the codfish. Frequently the pernil is dry which you can look at and see for yourself. The food is served from behind the counter and replenished from the kitchen so gives you a chance to see what you'll be getting. I'm not crazy about going there for food because despite some staff being there a long time communication has often been difficult requiring the man who seems in charge to have to translate often if you have any questions or trying to describe what you want, even with my than basic Spanish. More than likely you'll be satisfied enough to return more than once.

My wife, who is 8 months pregnant, and I stopped in for a meal and sat at a table where we have sat…read moremany times before, near the mirrors. The restaurant was nearly empty, with only one other couple dining at the time. Shortly after we sat down, I noticed one of the cooks open the front door of the restaurant, look directly at us, throw his hands up in frustration, and begin mumbling under his breath. He then started moving large boxes into the restaurant. Since I speak Spanish, I understood some of what he was saying. He complained that there were plenty of other seats available and questioned why we had chosen to sit where we were. As I looked more closely, I realized the mirrors beside our table were actually sliding doors to a storage area. It became clear that he was upset because my wife and I were seated in front of it. Had someone simply approached us and politely asked us to move, we would have gladly done so. Instead, the cook continued making comments under his breath and staring at us while moving boxes. Once he finished, he walked past our table, gave me a dirty look, and called me a vulgar name in Spanish ( cara de mierda). At that point, I stood up and asked him, in Spanish, to repeat what he had said. Rather than addressing the situation, he immediately walked into the kitchen and refused to come back out. At that point, I no longer felt comfortable having my food prepared by someone who had just openly insulted me and my pregnant wife. We decided to leave without ordering. This was especially disappointing because we have visited before and always enjoyed the restaurant. Unfortunately, the way this situation was handled was completely unprofessional and has likely cost them two longtime customers.

My mother and I are Dominican women who are " Afro Latina" which we might not look Spanish however we are lol. They looked at us when we came in like we weren't even there no welcome no hello no nothing. I was actually having a bad day when I went and it was almost closing time and I didn't have a better day after this entry you never know what people are going through so it's good to be nice especially if its YOUR business to keep costumers coming ! Also the food was very old looking and not good and we paid enough to at least be satisfied. If the food was no longer fresh just tell us sorry we don't have it and not just give us left over (Basura) . I'm sorry and as a Dominican women going to a Dominican restaurant and being treated this way I was very upset and disappointed at my culture wow! God bless and no I will not come back!

This tiny restaurant, just off the Dunellen central business district, shines as an impeccably maintained star. The colors are the deep cobalt blue and white of the Salvadorean flag, painted neatly across everything, counter to tables, even to the outdoor café umbrellas. Olga and one or more assistants deliver on a satisfying menu of traditional Salvadorean dishes such as pupusas (stuffed corn cakes) and tamales, complemented with a good selection of meat, chicken and fish main dishes. Prices are reasonable and portions are generous. A lunch of Pupusas with a drink will cost about $5, and main dishes are slightly more. It's a great little place for breakfast or lunch.
