The young ladies who work there truly have a passion for this place, as it shows in the service they provide. The food is delicious, perfectly seasoned, and always served hot with perfection. It's a beautiful restaurant with a prime location. The ambience is one that you can savory and I'm not just talking about the location and food. I'm talking about the total experience. Don't walk, run to this place. It's that good.

The pupusa taco was one of my favorites, and the giant family-size pupusa is definitely something to try with a group.

Lena y Carbon is one of my favorite Peruvian chicken restaurants in New Jersey. The chicken is…read morealways full of flavor and incredibly juicy. In my opinion, 1 PM is the perfect time to go--right after the chicken comes off the rotisserie. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about the ceviche. The fish doesn't taste or have the texture I would expect from corvina. Honestly, I suspect they may be using basa or another less expensive fish, because there is no way this tastes like corvina to me. The chicken is definitely a winner, but the ceviche needs some work.

I visited for my sister's graduation dinner with a party of 7 and unfortunately had one of the…read moreworst dining experiences we've had. From the beginning, our server was extremely inattentive and dismissive. She repeatedly pushed us to order a seafood boat even after we clearly explained that multiple people in our party have seafood allergies. We ultimately declined it because we did not feel comfortable risking cross contamination. After that interaction, the service noticeably declined. Our table was largely ignored while nearby tables were attended to regularly. Food came out one person at a time over the course of nearly an hour, so we were unable to eat together. Some meals arrived cold, appetizers came after entrees, and we were never properly checked on. We had to get our own utensils because none were brought to the table and drink refills were never offered. To make matters worse, when we were ready to leave, we waited over 10 minutes just to receive the check because our server continued ignoring the table. An automatic gratuity was already included and when I expressed concern about paying full gratuity for such poor service, I was simply told it could not be removed, with no effort to address the situation or involve a manager. We understand restaurants get busy, but this was supposed to be a special graduation celebration and the experience completely ruined the atmosphere for our family. Very disappointing experience overall and unfortunately not a place we would return to.

I did a to go order that included Cuban Sandwiches, ham croquette, and some Puerto Rican pastelles. The Cuban sandwiches were done well and delicious, I haven't tried the pastelles yet, but the croquettes were pitiful which is what led me to give this place only 3 stars. Croquettes are a Cuban staple and there is no excuse for not having such bad croquettes. They were extremely thin, dry and flavorless.

The food looks alright but if the staff does not want to serve me then I choose not to eat there. I requested a refund. Just to make people aware of what happened today. The waitress was rude and the customers were all cold. Do yourself a favor and skip this place. I did not feel welcomed there. The chicken looked dry and flavorless. I called to tell the worker I was writing a review she abruptly hung up. Rude and Nasty Witch she is !!! Glad I did not eat there. It is a hole in the wall.
