The restaurant was laid out with tables to the right & left, a coffee/juice bar and a bakery section in the back. Since my Spanish is nil, I believe who was one of the owners helped us choose our meal. Peruvian Beef Stir fry with rice and fries & Pueblo Style fillet of fish (tilapia) I had plantains & black beans as sides. Both were portions for two people & absolutely delicious. I had a tamarind drink and my friend had a Batido Mango (made with milk) The staff were all sweet and helpful. We got to-go bags. The prices were very reasonable for what we got. After we paid the check we were given caramelo flan ~ we said we would never finish it - well we did! Pretty much licked the plate. Can't wait to go back! And since I watch Celtic, premier, euro soccer, have found a new place that opens early! Soccer was playing on the screens while there! Another plus. Definitely check this place out, they have traditional Costa Rican, Peruvian and Salvadoran dishes - just to name a few!!!

Beautifully decorated for Christmas and such a cozy, festive vibe. The service was excellent, attentive, and friendly. It was a bit loud where we sat directly in the middle and many people were celebrating birthdays so lots of singing. The vibe was so on point! The premium cocktails were on the higher side at $21 each, but they were well-made. We ordered the Picada Grande for only four of us and could not believe the amount of food that came out. We couldn't finish the food. Everything was delicious, and we still left with around 6 pounds of leftovers! A great spot for a fun night out with fantastic food, beautiful ambiance, good entertainment, and great service at a good price! There are vendors selling flowers and framed pictures of you choose to partake. We did and loved the framed pic! Highly recommend checking it out. Great value and good food!

However, I love the ambiance of this place, and already before you go in, there are some tables and parasols outside, and a bright, Colombian flag! Inside, it is a bit small, but I've never seen it super crowded. However, I don't think it would be authentic if it wasn't "intimate" lol. In any case, I have tried the following and everything has been great: Mini Bandeja Paisa, Bandeja Paisa, Filete al Ajillo, all of the bakery items except the churros, and the fruit juices with water). The portions are very generous and I always have leftovers. The lady that I always see there is also very nice (I can't remember her name though). All in all, I really like this place and it reminds me of the places I would at with my family in Popayan. Thank you again for the lovely service!

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.

So upon doing my research I came across this restaurant. Now of course upon reading reviews everyone said to get there early because the line can get long especially on a Saturday and Sunday morning. So we arrived around 8:30 on Saturday and we were seated right away because it was only two of us . The service was excellent we were seated right away . Our waiter came out and gave us the rundown of the menu . They had a promo menu because of the Devil Wears Prada movie . I did get a specialty non alcoholic drink from the menu which was excellent. We ordered the French toast and the avocado toast with scrambled eggs and it came with smoked salmon on sourdough bread . The French toast was so good and moist you didn't even need to add additional syrup . The food was delicious and the portion sizes are perfect . The restaurant is cozy so if you have a big party make reservations. But you won't be disappointed I can't wait to visit Brunch by De Martino again whenever I come back to New Jersey . Please check them out you won't regret it .

My family and I have been supporting the Martino's Cuban Restaurant family restaurants for years,…read moregoing back to the original Martino's from his dad's side (which we truly miss). So coming here carries a bit of nostalgia for us. This concept feels very different from the original. It's definitely a more modern, upscale take. Portions are smaller, prices are higher, and the menu feels more elevated with a mix of Cuban-inspired and American flavors rather than strictly traditional Cuban comfort food. That said, the food is genuinely very good. The Cuban sandwich was easily one of the best we've had in New Jersey. Unlike many places that mostly use ham with a thin layer of pork, this one had thick, flavorful pieces of pork that made it feel much more authentic. A few other favorites: - The tostones with guacamole were a great starter. - Their chocolate latte used to be one of our favorites (sadly it seems to have been replaced by a raspberry chocolate version, which wasn't for us). - The seasonal pumpkin iced latte was excellent. - The strawberry banana waffles were more than enough to share. - The scrambled eggs and thick-cut bacon were fresh and delicious. We spent about $140 for breakfast for a family of four, so it's definitely on the pricier side, but it felt fitting for a special occasion like Mother's Day. A heads-up: reservations are only accepted for parties of six or more, so smaller groups are first come, first served. On Mother's Day, we waited about an hour after arriving at 8:30 AM, but their digital waitlist system made it easy to track our place in line while running errands nearby. Do we miss the old Martino's? Absolutely. The larger portions and casual family feel were special to us. But this restaurant offers something different--more polished, more curated, and still very enjoyable. I'd recommend it for brunch dates, family celebrations, or when you want to treat yourself.
