Ruben's Empanadas Bloomfield Reviews
I really enjoyed my visit to this Dominican restaurant. I had empanadas and a banana milkshake: the milkshake was super tasty, creamy, and refreshing, and the empanada was delicious, full of flavor, and well-prepared. They served it with a sweet mayonnaise sauce that’s hard to describe but absolutely amazing. The place itself is cozy and welcoming, with a nice atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and attentive throughout the visit. Overall, an excellent experience that I’d 100% recommend.
If you are looking to experience the creative Caribbean variety of empanadas and menu uniqueness, then this Dominican restaurant is the spot! It's like taking a small piece of the island's culture and taste, and condensing it into this location. Empanadas Monumental, can literally be found throughout the Dominican Republic, my wife and I were ecstatic when we drove by and saw the logo banner on the store front. The entrance display has a replicated setup of a typical "Colmado" (Dominican Bodega) which we loved! And even more so, the food! Amazing! Im a huge fan of the Bola De Queso, Res and Yuca. It brought back memories. I highly recommend you to come and try it. Next time, wifey and I will skip take out and dine in.

Wide variety of empanadas and other traditional Domincan finger foods. They have the buffet stocked early in the morning with breakfast and lunch. Their lasagna is a home run. I usually get their mangu or mashed potatoes with eggs and fried cheese. Their salmon is outstanding. You can't miss honestly. Highly recommend, but pro tip... get their early.

Great food. The owner is a really nice lady.Place is really clean. only problem I called to order before I picked up and the girl never put the order through. I was a little frustrated only because I was in a rush. But they were very apologetic. I'm sure they didn't know I was a food critic. Lol

Food looked as though it was there most of the day. The staff seems unenthusiastic to render services to the customers.

Please don’t buy anything from this restaurant. They would sell you old empanadas. They would give you a face if you complained about the food looking old and stale. Take your money somewhere were it being appreciated.

Went to this place just looking for something good to eat and instead I got nothing but a disgusting attitude. The woman is so rude its unbelievable, please don’t waste your time and money coming here. On top of the horrible service my empanada is dry and I was over charged when the prices are clearly labeled. Will never ever go back here again!
IF I COULD RATE NO STARS I WOULD. NASTY EMPANDAS THE MUSHY CHICKEN FELL OUT THE EMPANDA. HELLA EMPA NO NADA! BEEF TASTE LIKE THEY TOOK THE BEEF OUT THE RAVOLI & PUT IT IN A EMPANDA. NASTY ASL
Good food so far but the drinks is ridiculously expensive $2.50 for a can of Pepsi
Don’t bother… food isn’t authentic and lacks flavor. And empanadas are crust in grease lol save your money and cook at home
Empanada was disgusting. The shrimp, veggie, AND spinach all was nasty. How is it a empanada store when they taste horrible. 0/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND
