I know I need to try more from the menu but I always change my mind and go back to this perfect bowl. Filled with tasty brown rice, arugula, raisins, scallions and sun dried tomatoes. My other wholehearted recommendation is the hummus! Coming from a girl whose family has perfected the homemade hummus, Chickpea Grill's is a very very close second. Creamy and fresh and a very generous amount for not even $7. I would recommend getting extra pita and throwing those in the toaster to get nice and warm before dipping. Always happy to have Chickpea Grill around for the days I do not want to cook but still want some tasty, fresh, healthy food for dinner.

Menu options were different, I actually love it. We were seated immediately without reservations on a Saturday morning. We ordered the weekend brunch menu specials- potato with smoked salmon and the burger special. Both were delicious and flavorful! Parking-? there's municipal parking lot just a block away. Definitely my new fave spot in West New York, NJ!

I half want to not write this because I don't want the place to be crowded - so my spouse and I can always get a seat easily - but this place is too great to not continuing sharing. Shout out always to Will - manages this place with the utmost service and care for its customers. Food: 1. Huevos rancheros with chorizos 2. Crispy bird chicken sandwich The eggs and verde [green] sauce was fantastic. The chorizos were not salty or oily - just perfect. My wife loved her Burger. Inside is multiple chicken tender pieces and the flavor was fantastic. We felt fulfilled - with leftovers - satisfied beyond doubt - and not bloated. End of updated review [Second time coming]: Highly recommend - and they are opening up the back for OUTDOOr Seating in 2-3 weeks! Highly recommend to come. Will remembered us and again provided us a desert on the house.

I was in the mood for some Patacón and while searching on yelp i came across Tropical Juice Bar so…read morei had to give it a try. I decided to go in personally and order it there since i only live 5 minutes away. When i went in it wasn't busy at all, i was the only person there however It did take a little while for then to make but that's because they make it from scratch. The Patacón was only $5.99 and for those that don't know what it is, it's pretty much a sandwich but made out of fried plantains. I decided to give the chicken patacón a try and i really enjoyed it. Since i was in the mood for some tostones i also got a side of it and a merengue soda which is a typical Dominican soda. Super delicious. If you can, make sure to order online that way when you pick it up it's ready for you and you don't have to wait at all. They do also deliver. Not only did i enjoy my meal but it was cheap too!! I definitely will be coming back to try other things on the menu.

Holy shmoly, I love this place. I am not usually in this part of town, so I honestly was not sure…read morehow I would be received when I walked through the door. But the staff was incredibly welcoming right from the start, and that alone earns them five stars. You never know what to expect in a new neighborhood, but they set the tone immediately. The vibe of the restaurant is very comfortable. It is the kind of spot you walk into after a long day or a productive day and you just know you are about to eat something good. It feels like a family run place, even if it is not actually run by family. It has that warmth. You can tell it is an important part of the neighborhood. I even noticed pictures of community members on the wall, which says a lot. Now, the food. There is hot food, cold food, and plenty of items you can take home. I ordered a chicken parmesan sandwich, and let me tell you, it was the size of a skinny football. I am not exaggerating. It took me almost a day and a half to finish it. It tasted exceptional, and I actually had to stop myself from eating the whole thing in one sitting so I would not slip into a food coma. One tip, eat it while it is hot. That is when it is at its peak power. My friend agreed with me about the overall vibe and quality. If I am ever in the neighborhood again, I will gladly go out of my way just to try more of their dishes. You do not find spots like this easily. New York City has great food, but a place with this combination of warmth, quality, portion size, and charm is rare. In another city, this could easily be a reservation only spot packed every night. Here, it fits perfectly in the community. Great job to everyone there. Keep up the good work. Cheers.

I have fine memories of walking through the streets of Recoleta and Palermo at night in search of a quality alfajore, or mornings started with a dulce-filled medialuna and a coffee. This very good Argentine bakery took me back to those days, with a delicious chocolate-encased alfajore paired with a cortado and a crispy churro filled with dulce. For a savory bite, the cheese and spinach empanadas were tasty, if a bit salty. They were both baked, as is the typical style within B.A. city limits.
