They also see to it that we get what we want and took their time to explain everything! The food is good and drinks are fantastic, hopefully they lessen the ice.

What a Huge Disappointment, Noches! I've been coming to…read moreNoches for years--starting with the Englewood location, then supporting this one since day one when we moved up here. I've been to just about every Noches in Jersey. Sure, sometimes they've fallen short, but I always stayed loyal. This morning I went for takeout and ordered my usual: chorizo, chicharrón, and pan de bono. When I got home and opened the bag, I was honestly shocked. For seven dollars, what I got was basically nothing. The portions were insulting--barely a bite of food--and yet the prices keep climbing higher and higher. I understand costs have gone up, but there's a big difference between fair pricing and blatantly ripping off loyal customers. This was the latter. After all these years of supporting Noches, today felt like a slap in the face. Sadly, you've lost a customer who used to recommend you everywhere. If this is how you treat your regulars now, I can only imagine how first-timers feel.

This time I came in with my parents after my wife kept raving about the Dominican chimi and the grilled chicken. We came specifically to try those and, as usual, left completely satisfied. I ordered the chimi and the picadera again, and once more we were blown away. The picadera was stacked with tostones, grilled chicken, fried chicken, fried pork chops, and fried ham. Everything was hot, seasoned well, and cooked exactly the way it should be. The chimi was excellent from the first bite to the last, and the mayo-ketchup tied all the flavors together perfectly. Honestly, just look at the food. I don't know why I even need to keep explaining it. Stop reading the reviews and go eat. Yes, it's that good. Yes, you get real value for your money. And yes, you will walk away full. You're welcome. 5/5 stars.

A New Restaurant in New City. We were going to sit down around the corner only to find out that…read moreShen is a takeout-only restaurant. I quickly consulted The Yelp and found this nice sit-down place, so we came on over and enjoyed a restaurant to ourselves on a Saturday afternoon. (I won't lie - "Ixchel Bakery" caught my eye first for the name alone - but I haven't checked that out yet; we were there for lunch, not dessert.) What caught me first is that the logo sign inside is exactly what Yelp events want. I told them about potentially hosting Yelp events in the future... Anyway, the menu is straight Dominican Republic, and I enjoyed comparing the similarities and differences to my local Honduran restaurant. Some very authentic dishes on the menu here, lovingly and authenticly prepared. We started with a pair of empanadas for appetizer, the res and the pollo y queso. I'm an empanada snob but these have a nice balance of ingredients and flavors, good size for the price. While the mondongo intrigued me, I went with the equally intriguing Yaroa, a Dominican street food with meat and cheese on a bed of green plantains (or fries, if you prefer), topped with ketchup and white sauce. I'm not a ketchup person, but I wanted the dish exactly as it comes, and that's good because it tasted excellent as it came. And it arrived right as we finished the empanadas. The staff were very friendly, but a bit focused on kitchen operations; I did have to flag someone down at one point for a water refill. So that is the one imperfection in an otherwise wonderful experience, and not worth docking a star over. I would absolutely come back here again. The owner was talking potential redecoration, I was talking about trying other dishes - so there are convenient excuses moving forward. :)

This restaurant is located on route 59 close to a central area; with its own parking. So if you are a Latin food lover this place could be for you. I went on the weekend, and for a new place there was a lot of people present. I tried the beef empanadas which comes with dipping sauces which bring them to life. I also had a guanabana soursop drink which was nice and cold, if there is an option for more creamy and sweet I would opt for that since it is cold weather. I also had the Salteado mixta with white rice and fried plantain. This dish has beef, shrimp, and chicken and sweet pepper strips. All foods were hot, the Salteado came out on a hot dish which kept the temperature. Overall the place was nice and clean, I sat in at the bar area as seating was easier for one person. I would come back as there are many good options to try. The food was good.

The place is nicely decorated and has a very cool vibe. To start we had the Mini Empanadas and the Guacamole con Chicharron, both were scrumptious and the portions were more than enough for 4 of us to share. My son and I had the Churssasco, which was cooked to perfection and accompanied with Rice and plantains (Platanos Maduros). We also ordered sides of bean and Papas Fritas (which reminded my wife of the fries her grandmother used to make). My wife got the Arepa de Pollo, which was exquisite. My nephew ordered the Arroz con Pollo, which was great and such a large portion. My son and nephew split the flan between them, they are still talking about how delicious it was. The service was just perfect, the staff were attentive and friendly. The owner even came out to introduce himself and check on us. It was such an all around great experience, I can't wait to go back.
