The restaurant was clean, and the staff was friendly and attentive. However, the portions are terrible. I understand that every business wants to make a profit, but not providing a decent amount of food is horrible, and it doesn't encourage repeat customers. I've tried this place twice, and I experienced the same issue both times. read more

Full disclosure I don't like empanadas. Until i figured out that I was eating the wrong ones! The pizza empanadas here are fantastic and the sauce packets that they use are delicious. Definitely happy that a co worker brought these gems into a holiday potluck. read more

Greeted upon entrance. Friendly service. Ordered two empanadas. Cheese and beef were so good. My sons loved them. I like that they had prepackaged pink sauce. We also ordered a pernil chimi with a strawberry milkshake. The pernil was absolutely delicious. The shake was also good. The only thing is that the tables were still dirty but they did come over and clean it when we brought it to their attention. Overall a good experience. read more

Best of the best IN paterson. VERY GOOD JOB BRAINY. I came hungry and she did my green juice soon good.

So I drive by this location all the time and I finally decided to try it out with a friend. I found it cool that you can order on a computer screen but... that complicated everything! I paid with my card and got my receipt through text but my friend wanted to pay with cash so we went to the cashier and paid. She asked me what I got and I told her a chimi and she passed me a plate and I was very happy cause I got it so fast! I ate half my chimi in like 5 minutes and my friend's order still had not came out. Ten minutes passed and nothing. We ask and the lady had forgot my friend's name and order and she goes "oh we ran out of lettuce you mind just chicken and cheese on bread" he said sure. Another 10 minutes pass and no sandwich STILL! So I go ahead and finish my chimi cause it had gotten cold already and my friend still didn't get his sandwich. After 25 min of waiting he got his "sandwhich" which looked awful. Both sandwiches were not up to par at all. My chimi didn't have enough chimi sauce or meat, a lot of it was just bread. My friend's sandwich was literally 2 cold slices of yellow cheese and chicken... looked so unappetizing. I don't think I'll be back anytime soon. read more

My family loves this quick service spot! Food always hit! Comfortable seating clean place.

So I've been coming here for a while. I usually order their shakes and empanadas which are pretty good. However today I decided to venture out and try something different. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and it was half empty. I mean...where's the chicken? Terrible. read more

Mamey with evaporated milk is my new fav!! The very nice employee recommended it to me and I was very pleased ! Clean environment and the staff all seemed very nice ! New smoothie place for the win !! read more

I was craving Patacón at 9 in the morning. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's kind of like a sandwich but instead of the bread, it uses flattened plantain. You can get chicken or steak. The plantain was crunchy, crispy, not too salty , with just the right amount of lettuce and tomato. They make really good pink sauce here too, make sure to top it off! I was greeted by Isaac when I entered. I sat down to eat, my table didn't seem wiped down which was kind of unsanitary considering the fact that I got there by 10:30 and they opened around 9. The food was really good there. I usually come here with my boyfriend to get a quick bite. read more

Really good dominican food ! The wait time is a little long but other than that better than banana king

I actually happen to really enjoy this establishments empanadas but Im giving 1 star for the simple fact that the girls at the counter thought I couldn't speak Spanish because I have a WHITE skin tone and started to talk smack about me because they thought I didn't understand Spanish. Disgusting. So much for woman empowerment. And based on other reviews Im not the first one. You're losing good customers because of your rude and RACIST employees. read more

So disappointed of their chimis. I had asked to get tomato and they didn't add any. The sandwich barely had cabbage (repollo) inside and the American cheese I asked for never melted Over all their food is not great. read more

Amazing food. 1) This place has a large private lot. Which is rare for the area. 2) The food is excellent. I will recommend the chimi pollo. But my friend liked the patacon de carne. And the empanadas are 0.85 cents. 3) For the tropical drinks I will recommend Morir Sonando. It was excellent. read more

Totally love this place and their fresh juices. We usually order from here once a week. Their food selection isn't huge but I love their pernil plantain sandwich. I could eat those everyday forever. read more

Tried this for lunch today, definitely not blown away by the food. I got a Cuban sandwich, it was just ok, nothing special. Fries were fine but boring. Smoothie lacked something, tasted fine but boring, I've definitely had much better from other places nearby. Finally the last thing I tried was the empanadas, first bite it had a weird fish taste to it, I don't know if they cooked it or prepared near fish but definitely got a fishy flavor, I hate fish. The meat inside had something in it, not sure but didn't bother me much, just wasn't all meat by itself. The empanada itself was a little too chewy, maybe sat out a while or needed more cooking. Would eat again in a pinch because I've had way worse but also far better, probably won't be back. read more

Really good food, for a good price. Fills me up good and they have a rewards program. Lots of available parking as well. They even have kiosks where you can order from in store in case there's a line. I like it. read more

Food was okay. Service was terrible. The staff was not attentive at all. I walked in for an order of a juice and a few empanadas. Apparently the empanadas are already made - depending on the type , sitting in a warmer waiting for purchase. I waited 20 mins before anyone realized that I hadn't received my food. Shortly after I placed my order , a few men walked in and got empanadas with no issues. So I'm trying to figure out why I had to wait so long and they got the same thing I did ? Interesting to say the least. I will NOT come back here. Y'all need to do better with treating all customers equal. Guess because I didn't speak Spanish , my order didn't matter. read more

Love the wraps and chinalo juice here come numerous times a week but today was very annoyed that both employees in the front had there noses completely out of there mask i think with the corona you should have your nose covered its not a game and shouldn't be taken as such the guy in the front bent down to get something and his nose was practically touching someones drink lid of drinks he made in front of him almost made me not wanna take my food do better please take corona serious wear the mask right and also please clean the dead bugs of the window sill where people sit to eat thats nasty as hell and been like that for weeks read more

I've been to this location probably three times , yesterday I thought I give it another try I ordered a green juice and every time I've placed an order the cashier who has assisted me also makes the juice , the problem is that I have had to ask them to please wash there hands and I still feel uncomfortable,I shouldn't have to ask them to wash there hands.they should put gloves on when handling food especially when juicing raw fruits or vegetables. I have also seen an employee with a mop in hand also assisting as a cashier and NO GLOVES ! This place seems a little unsanitary to me just my opinion read more

Omg the guanabana juice.. is phenomenal! Been here a few times and the staff was very nice and polite. Have had the patacon and empanadas from there and both are delicious and filling. This place rocks my world. read more

I must say, This establishment is ran to the T. EXCELLENT level of service, detail to my very complex juice order. And always so diligent and attentive. Keep up the great job. From the manager to the cooks and cashier, everyone rolls up their sleeves and gets to take care of the customer first. That's what Paterson is All About!! read more

They have actually updated their menu which is a lot better, it includes a lot of health foods that you can add protein in and some salads. Well done. read more

I ordered through uber eats and had a question. Ashley answered the phone, she was super friendly, helpful, and very professional. Food and beverages tastes great! read more

Great place located in Paterson convenient parking and quick service. I always try to call my order in for pick-up. The online menu could work better calling by phone is best. read more

Amazinggg!!! Great food, great prices & great service! What more could you ask for ? They have two locations, in Passaic & Paterson NJ. Food is always hot and fresh & smoothies are to die for! If you haven't stopped by one of the locations, I highly suggest you do! read more

This was the worst smoothie I've ever had. I ordered a 'meal replacement' smoothie which had Kale, Peanut Butter, Almond Milk, Protein and Oats. After waiting 20 minutes (and it was not crowded), my 'smoothie' was horrible. It had bits of Kale in the smoothie as if they barely blended the smoothie. They also added ice, it was more like a juice. Horrible, would not go back. I cannot even tolerate to drink the rest of the smoothie because small pieces of Kale get stuck in my teeth with every sip! read more

My first time eating their food last night. I had the chicharrones de cerdo with mofongo and beef and chicken empanandas. the food was so good, it was a clean place and the service was great. Thanks to Grisel R for taking care of my order. read more

Placed a Grubhub order at 3:30 it was delayed FIVE TIMES!!!! The restaurant doesn't answer the phone and so I call Grubhub for them to tell me the restaurant can't fulfill my order, even though the restaurant started preparing it right when I made my order? I'm thinking they didn't say anything cus they thought I wouldn't say anything and they'd be able to keep my money. If there's one business I hope fails during this pandemic it's this one. Get your act together read more

BEST SMOOTHIES!!! They make fresh patacones, mofongos, llaroas, tostones, cubanos and everything else! Their menu is packed with great tropical food. I love how everything is healthy specially the smoothies and juices! if you are around you got to try it!!! read more

Food is great. Staff is nice and attentive especially their employee Thayne. He's very quick when making my food and smoothie. I love this place so much. Wait is kinda long but worth it. The Food really fills you up for such a good price. read more

I really love the food at this location. I have issues with the employees. the only time I feel comfortable and welcomed, is when gricel takes my order. she always has a great attitude and is willing to go the extra mile to help me. but, whenever she isn't there, the employees discriminate against me because I don't speak Spanish, specifically madelin, she always has a VERY NASTY ATTITUDE and if its past 9:30, they never want to make any juices with oranges in it. just because I don't speak Spanish or if its 9:30-close they should service you the same as if you were there first thing in the afternoon. I'm very disappointed in this location. read more

Best shakes and Latin fast food in the area at more than reasonable prices. Don't let "fast food" fool you though they have healthy options. The location is emaculately clean, the staff friendly and even the parking is great. If you are ever in the mood for a quick snack this surely beats out most other options in the area. read more

For the food, the prices and especially the smoothies you'll have a hard time finding something as good as Tropical Juice Bar in the area. I always get a smoothie, which they allow you to "make your own" off a menu of dozens of healthy ingredients- fresh fruits & vegetables along with other options. If you prefer they also have a list of their own creations you can order from. As for the food, they certainly have more healthy options than most places but you will also find the standard unhealthy options too i.e. fried food. My husband and I will usually get either a sandwich or some empanadas to share. They advertise that they have an option for ordering online but I've never used the service before. But if you happen to be in the area looking for a quick bite or something healthy like a smoothie, I'd recommend checking this place out. Plus, they have parking! read more
