I'm very glad to discover Mi Casa Restaurant on Doordash though I don't have a ton to say after one Doordash order, but I'll be sure to check it out again. The "small" chicken soup was decently sized and was dense with meat, noodles and vegetables. I also enjoyed the salty kick of the tres golpes. The delivery speed was impressive.

For rice,I had a choice between white rice, yellow rice, or yellow rice with kidney beans. I chose the latter. For the beans, I had a choice between black beans or kidney beans. I got black beans. Finally the chicken, I had a choice between baked chicken or chicken stew. I chose the latter. It was put in a take-out aluminum bowl. Highly satisfied of my choice. I was full and the food hit the spot. I paid cash when I was there. Not sure if they take credit card. I highly doubt it since it's a small family restaurant. There is an ATM inside should you need cash. You also have a choice of dining in or doing take-out. I highly recommend this restaurant and supporting small business.

Best Dominican food in the area AND it's inexpensive! The flavors keep people coming back for years. I used to come here when I was in high school and when I worked in the JSQ area. I was addicted and technically still am. This was the first place I went to as soon as I got back from EWR. Their hours have changed as they are now closed on Sundays. They are open Monday to Saturday from 8am to 8pm last I was there. Do yourself a favor and try this place out. I posted a photo of the plate prices to go. This is definitely more of a takeout spot than a dine in restaurant. Parking can be tricky in the area but I usually go down Newkirk and park in the 2nd parking lot on the left (it's gated). As long as you're quick for take out your car is good! Enjoy!

The only time they had me a little skeptics is when a friend of mine ordered a tres leches, and suspected the milk may have curdled somehow I have no complaints regarding the service. I think they do their job and do it well, and there have been times that I've ordered a dish upon request and it was made FRESH on the spot. I don't converse with them often, and sometimes the food is a slight wait depending on WHAT you get, but no complaints there personally. As for the ambiance.. well, I am a native Jersey city resident so Ocean Ave is a usual to me. Most often if you mind your business, you should be fine as long as u go straight to getting your food, and go right home. And if u are confronted walk away and go about your business, thankfully this has always worked for ME. Internally the shop is cute as far as I'm concerned. I wouldn't need it to be Michelin star decor! It's not about the what the store looks like in this case, it's definitely about the quality of the food, which to me is great. I'd definitely recommend you check it out for yourself! And my personal recommendation (my go to) is of course the pepper steak w rice and beans. It usually brings me to a total of $14 flat. If you order other combos (such as the meats alone) it also Comes to a good price. I once ordered chicken, pepper steak, plantains and beans w no rice and my total was $21! And it lasted me more than a single day.

I'm working now in Hoboken, and, although my families, both genetic and non-genetic (I'm adopted),…read morefor the most part originated in Jersey City and Hoboken, I'm not really familiar with either area (even though I grew up primarily in the Passaic County area of north Jersey). Consequently, when ordering food at work, I'm dependent on those co-workers who live in the general vicinity to suggest where the best places are to eat. One co-worker, of Peruvian descent, suggested Pio Pio and I was game. I've only eaten there a few times, and its invariably take out...I've never actually been in the restaurant...but I've become a big fan. And I do mean a big fan. When my co-worker asks where I'd like to order from, more often than not now, I'll reply, "Pio Pio?" Another co-worker, of Cuban descent, always laughs uproariously at that. Not entirely sure why--- my Irish-German-raised-as-a-WASP-in-north-Jersey accent? Maybe. But this "gringo" has come to love this restaurant, and if some good-natured mockery is what I have to go through to eat there, then so be it! The chicken soup is delicious-- crammed full of noodles, chicken and vegetables (including a section of corn on the cob with the cob included). Each day of the week has several specialties listed that you can order--- my particular favorite is Monday's "Picadillo Crillo" (ground beef in creole sauce). Every time I order this, my Cuban co-worker again laughs unroariously, and then corrects my mangling of the words. I usually get a side of rice with it, mix the Picadillo Crillo in, and chow down (last night I ordered it with a side of plantains rather than the black beans that I usually get with the rice-- every dish comes with 2 sides). I've had the yellow rice with chicken, but I especially love the Pot Roast with sauce. I haven't had pot roast since my mother made it for me as a child, but this recalls it vividly. Thankfully, nobody laughed when I ordered it. But it was....I know the word "Amazing" get thrown around a lot on Yelp, but this time the word is truly merited. The dish was, and is, amazing. Simple, perhaps, but amazing. What really stands out about this restaurant, beyond the quality of the food, is how much of it you get for so little money. The pot roast, for example, cost only $8.50. And the quantity of meat, tender and flavorful, is prodigious. Perhaps I've eaten this much great food for so little money elsewhere in my life, but I can't remember where, or when. At some point, I suppose I'll have to actually sit down in the restaurant and order a meal. But I love this place; take-out, sit-down, or whatever. Really. Good, hearty food for very little money. I can't recommend it enough.

We ordered two entrees, but the waitress only wrote down one entree order so we had to re-order the second.

She also overcharged us by about $5 for one of the entrees compared to the price printed in the menu. With that said, we got the goat stew and a chicken combo meal, and both were delicious. We would be back for the food, but ordering was way too difficult and then being overcharged...

Got the meat & rice combo for a mere $9. Pernil with red beans and rice. Added maduros so that was $1 more. Also picked up a papa rellena just because. All of it hit the spot. It wasn't the best but it was good. The skin of the pernil was crackling good! The meat in the papa rellena was flavored nicely. Other than that, it was good. For $9, what's there to be mad about?!? In any case, they had tons of dishes to choose from. Meats. Salads. Empanadas. Chicharron. Sooo much! They also had a lot of tables in case for wanted to eat in. Decent spot! Only downside is the parking. It's you might have to do a couple of circles before you find a spot.
