I was born and raised in DR so I know about the real sazon 😋 Most dominican restaurants lose their touch because they stop caring and don't make the food with love. I am pregnant and very picky. The person in the kitchen shows he or she knows what it's doing and cooks with love and cleanlines.The beans taste la DR( if you know what I mean) the rice you could eat it by itself. The meat is clean and very tasty with good sazon and lots of great verduras that a lot of people forget to use. The portions are perfect and you definitely get what you pay for. The girls on the phone are very kind and accommodate to your needs and I say this because unfortunately most of us dominicans are not nice. I can say it bc I am Dominican and I know. Owner. These girls accommodate your food very nicely pack with rapping paper so it won't spill. The saleds are nicely seasoned and decorated. Make sure you keep them happy bc they deserve it. The delivery guys are fast and very nice and plesent. Thank you I will continue to order this quarantine because I am tired of cooking and bc their style as my style of cooking is. Best dominican food in Jersey city and Bayonne.

If you're in a mood for dominican authentic food and you're in jersey city this is the place to be. I love that they have a variety of food ready to eat or take out everyday. They even open in the mornings for breakfast. I had tres golpes and it was one of the greatest breakfast ever had. 😋

Friendly service, affordable and delicious. I often order from here and have also gotten food catered for parties. Everyone gives compliments since the food is true to its Dominican flavor. I would highly recommend this place.

Holy cow I found my new lunch spot! Talk about hidden gem! The rice, beans, and chicken for $6 poster on the window caught my attention by walking by. I went in and was serviced right away. 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.

They have really good food, people are so nice and the prices are really good and cheap. Loved it!

Every once in a while..you want something different, on my break for lunch.. wandered in and the food was great..she asked me how much. Loved it. The spot is good # hot lunch.

The food is exceptional. I had the guandules guisado with white rice and fried pork chops with the fried sweet plantain and an order of their potato salad. I felt like I was back at my grandmas house back in the 🇩🇴 the food an: service is top notch.

I placed an order on GrubHub A day after Thanksgiving. For Dominican restaurants a lot of restaurants usually dedicate certain days for certain dishes, such as stew or soup because of the process it takes however, today I was really sick and the owner of the restaurant was kind enough to make a soup from scratch for me. When I placed the order on GrubHub, I placed an order for soup however, in the caption, it did say that there was no soup for today since today is a Friday. But my vision was so blurry that I didn’t even notice it. However, the owner called back and informed me and she immediately heard how sick I literally sounded and she told me don’t worry about it that she was going to make it from scratch. It’s just gonna take some time. Honestly, their food is really good. My sister orders from them a lot so that’s why I decided to order from them and they’re truly sweet.

Food Was Ok But The sign outside says &5/But actually its $9

Their $5 breakfast deal is perfect price and good amout of food.

They're food is served fresh and it's good.

It was fast and delicious I got respect for the workers.

Las Esperanza’s Restaurant serves delicious and well prepared Dominican food. I like to order the baked chicken with rice and beans. Sometimes I order a side of yuca (cassava) as an additional side. This makes for a good hearty lunch under 10 dollars. The service is quick, I generally order to go to be able to eat at Liberty park or at my desk at work.

Owner and family great. Great place to eat, the food is great. Just fire the lousy young girl in the front and you are five star. She is bad get rid of her. People if you have complaints do not hold your tongue on this girl. The owner is a great person just get rid of her. She did the same thing to me as Maria Hernandez.

The food is very good, plenty of it and very reasonable-I have to check but I have gotten delivery orders from there but now it doesn’t seem they do deliveries anymore-called last week and tonight no delivery on a Saturday night which is usually a big delivery night. Took one star away because I like delivery at night time but food is 5 stars.

Great food. One thing is the teenager who works the front takes one of the tables and sits there when someone comes in she waits a bit then gets up. I dont know if she had a bad day or not, but non the matter awesome food would recommend!!!

Nice, friendly customer service, Mangu was very nice, but no coffee or tea..hot drinks not available

Food taste good but some other things they make them with old food I bought some pasteles n they made it with old pernil 🤮I know what I'm talking about. Horrible

my bestie got food poisoning from here the sandwich tasted like soap and so did the chicken I would not recommend . -1/10

2 hours late and they got the order wrong.... Never again. They don't know what the hell they're doing. Horrible.

Ordered food here a couple of times but the service is as cold as a block of ice. If only I can give 0 stars for the service, I would. I am paying for my food so treat your customers with a little respect.

I order and was told in 10 min for pick up. When I got there before the 10 min my good was being sold to a costumer that just walk in.

There were flies flying around around and the food was not covered. The chicken looked dry and I know it’s cheap but why must it be like that…

terrible delivery service. My bag of food came ripped. Beans all spilled. On top of that they ran out of chicken and gave me whatever they wanted instead of calling me and asking me. No utensils and no napkins, who does that? It’s delivery. If I could give 0 stars I would

I ordered food from them yesterday and my vegetables were spoiled. My entire apartment smells horrible from their spoiled food. I am very upset that I spend money on food that I can’t eat.

Placed an order and waited for over two hours. Half of our order was missing and when we called they told us we would have to pay extra to get what we ordered. This was not a mistake on our part, the person who took our order over the phone repeated the entire order. We were still told we'd have to pay extra to receive the food they forgot to send.

They were closed for me but literally took a à la cart order 2 min before smh don’t waste your time or money placed smelled like mice also.

Disgusting coffee. On top of that the coffee machine that brew coffee is was not even working also they use instant coffee plus they add without asking evaporate milk from can. I ask for regualar whole milk. I hope things get better.

Disgusting ! If I could give it nonstop stars I would I ordered stew chicken & my chicken came soooo dry ! Beans is DRY . Rice mushy .. my white rice HARD .. I am so mad I spent $20 on this food
