"Best breakfast in town, great price, delicious and a big serving Pancakes with Meat was delicious will definitely order more things off the menu"
"The Ropa Vieja,Homemade Flan ,French Fries with Cheese are just right and would definitely order again. The only thing that needs work are the tostones, I'm sorry to say they're bland and too hard. Some oil and garlic would help... And finally,I got ONE maduro, yep, just one single plantain...
Otherwise, the portion and flavor of the Ropa Vieja itself is reason enough to order again👍"

"The most authentic and delicious cuban restaurant in New Jersey. You can never go wrong with the price and the amazing flavors that come with it. The cilantro aioli sauce with the yuca fritas is mouth watering and the vegan empanada is a must. As a Cuban vegan, this place is perfect with a wide range of options. "
"Our first time ordering and will not be our last. The rice ball perfectly packed
The cheese empanada was the best and the Cubano Delicioso reminded me of my first one 50 years ago in Newark and I finally found the perfect one

Both were done perfect. Their Empanada de Carne / Beef Empanada is one of the best tasting empanadas in the Woodbridge area. So many other local places fall short. I just wish they sold their beans as a large order. I could eat their beans and white rice every day."
"Pescado Frito was well cleaned, seasoned pretty good and fried perfectly. its hard to find snapper that is seasoned throughout. they did a pretty good job. i prefer a little more seasoning but still good.

The pernil was juicy and seasoned to perfection with that crispy, savory skin that just melts in your mouth. And the mofongo? Absolutely amazing—garlicky, fluffy, and the perfect base for all that flavor. Everything was cooked with love and authenticity. Highly recommend if you're craving real Puerto Rican comfort food!"

I can't even remember the last time I had authentic Puerto Rican take out this good. the Pernil was soft and juicy. the empanadas were full of meat and so tender and juicy. the portion of the platter was decent. my husband and I shared and didn't leave a single crumb behind."
"empanadas were the best part. none of this food tastes like puerto rican food at all, way to much garlic used in all dishes. beans tastes just like tomato sauce no sazon or sofrito. for the price it's not worth even to try, almost $20 each dish and barely any meat. "

"Not gonna lie, I forgot to take pics before eating and I started demolishing it immediately. The Mofongo is SO good, it's a good sized portion, not too small like some places give. It's also seasoned very well unlike other places that give you bland ones. The steak was very good, the Alcapurria de guineo is as close to what my mom's is as I can find, so it's amazing. The star of the show was definitely the Pastelillo de Guava (Guava Empanada) because I'm Cuban and that's what I was raised on and they do it well! My husband is raving over his food, the masitas de puerco (carne Carne Frita) are soooo good he says.

"The Pernil Family Meal + Large Rice & Beans + Side was an Amazing choice. The meat taste was soo flavorful and tender. The rice was cooked perfect and the beans were seasoned as deliciously. The portion was good, I would have liked a larger amount of bean but overall , LOVED IT!"
"I was excited to try Meson Tropical, but this order was disappointing. The food was packaged in foil trays and did not travel well, which affected the presentation and overall dining experience.
The biggest issue was the quality of the meats. The fried pork belly was extremely overcooked, dry, and tough to chew, and the meat in the mini Meson bowl was similarly overdone. Rather than tasting fresh and juicy, the meats seemed as if they had been sitting under a heat lamp for an extended period. More importantly, the dishes lacked the bold seasoning and authentic Latin flavors I expected from a Puerto Rican/Dominican restaurant. The food was bland and did not have the homemade Caribbean taste that makes this cuisine special.
The Spring Meson Chicken Salad and Cod Fish were also underseasoned and uninspiring. The alcapurria was terrible—dry, flavorless, and nothing like a freshly made alcapurria should taste. The Passionfruit Mango Madness drink was forgettable and did not stand out. The stuffed potato ball was the only item I genuinely enjoyed.
Overall, the meal lacked consistency and flavor. I was expecting fresh, well-seasoned dishes that reflected the rich and vibrant tastes of Latin cuisine, but unfortunately this experience missed the mark. I hope improvements are made because the menu has a lot of potential."

"The Chifrijo and the orange juice was really good."
"It's good but I feel like the meat was more fat and bones and it's only two pieces so you'd think it'd be better like two actually pieces but flavor was ok"

"Delicious and good portions for the price! The Camarones Al Ajillo (Garlic Shrimp) was great, with a lot of sauce."
"Did not get the rice that usually comes with the chicken stew, paid $17 for only chicken wings because that's what was in the bag. Speaking of bag, when it was delivered, it was greasy from the sauce spilling over. the potato salad tasted bland and warm as well. this restaurant used to have very good quality food. Their chicken soup is still good,but everything else doesn't taste as good as it used to."

"Been going since they opened. One of my favorite spots. Food is delicious."
"The food is decent but my Papa Rellena was cold in the middle. The food is very greasy like it's not strained when taken out of the fryer. The Empanadas are thin but they're on the cheaper side so you get what you pay for. The Alcapuria was good, as was the Tres Golpes. I would give them another shot on good faith."

"I was pleasantly surprised by the food being so good and so close to home. The chicken was cooked perfectly and very juicy. Rice was fluffy and beans and plantains were very flavorful. Would def recommend and will be ordering again, for sure !"
"The portions are so small and expensive.
The food is not appealing and the packaging was messed up because the steak was mixed with the ceviche juice. They should have been in separate bags.
The tostones were not fresh but from a tostone snack bag.
The lemonade was not fresh either. It was from a soda fountain.
The potato was not completely cooked.
I would not order again."
