I went back after ordering the smoked pork chops, which was good. This second time, we ordered the fried snapper with Yucca, and my son got the smoked chicken with yellow rice and beans. WOW, so tasty! I am a creature of habit. I find something good, and I stick with it. The food here is deeelicious. I can't wait to try another dish. I highly recommend Carmen's Restaurant. The yucca reminds me of my mother's cooking from Sierra Leone in West Africa. Great food. Thank you Carmen.

The best Dominican food I’ve had in the New York and New Jersey area! Really authentic and genuine customer service, amazing quality and care. They have great attentive service and you can see truly that they have great hearts to serve. God bless everyone that works here and is able to try it out and support!

The best food we have had on our journey. It is Dominican Republic food!. Real ingredients! We have carried a large wooden cross about 70 miles from southwest Philadelphia, and are so thankful to have found this place!

If you want to taste real love and traditional flavors, come HERE. I moved to Central NJ a few years ago from North NJ / Bronx NY and I couldn’t find any restaurants that have been consistently delivering on absolutely flavorful plates and fresh food. It took a while for them to earn my review but I have been coming here for over a year and it is the BEST Dominican restaurant in all of NJ for sure. I love my culture and my people, bendiciones to the ownership and staff.
