El Sabroso San Juan Reviews
Delicious ! I love their food so authentic and so much flavor
I always get the roast pork with yellow rice and beans. I love the alcapurrias. The chicken soup is delicious. Sometimes if they have it, I get the pupusas. Everything I've ever ordered here has been delicious. It's tastes home cooked, and fresh. It's too bad I live a couple hours away, or I'd be here every week. It's a very casual place.
Great food and service. Parking can be challenging sometime. But worth it.
El Saborosa is my favorite restaurant in Jersey City! I’ve been coming here for years and the food is always consistently delicious. The flavors are authentic, the portions are generous, and the staff is always friendly. It’s truly a hidden gem I recommend to everyone.
I've been coming here for the last 15 years. Absolutely amazing food! There's nothing like. And the staff are wonderful. Would highly recommend for any occasion!
This restaurant has the kind of comfort that keeps you coming back. I didn't think I'd enjoy this place so thoroughly. The kitchen chooses good ingredients with satisfying serving sizes. Not exaggerating, these workers are outstanding, remarkably friendly, knowledgeable and make you feel at home right away. I'm eager to go back and explore new offerings.
Finally!! A good Puerto Rican restaurant!! I stopped by for lunch and got the costilla which was amazing! Their pernil is also DELICIOUS. Service was superb, the waiter was very friendly and super attentive. I’m definitely coming back!
Been coming to this restaurant since I was young with my mom & stepdad. I now live in Florida and EVERY time I come to visit Jersey I MUST stop at my favorite Spanish restaurant. Food is amazing every time and the owner and staff are really nice. I LOVE A THIS restaurant & would highly recommend.
We came from out of town for personal reasons and came across this place looking for some Puerto Rican food and were not disappointed. Everything was cooked to perfection. We had the tostones the sweet bananas black beans arroz gandules pernil chicken empanada with meat chicken sandwich. Our server had so much patience with us and was fantastic. Would definitely recommend this place and return if we make it back to New Jersey.
Decided to visit my mom in J C New jersey with the family. Googled restaurants near me. Chosed this location cause I have been here before, like 2 years ago, but never made a review. Food was very good 👍, ordered the shredded beef came with side of rice and beans.Steak and onions with sides of rice and fries 🍟.Some beef and chicken empanadas.
Food is ok, overrated in my opinion. The appetizers was the best part of the meal.. Beef stew was dry and no flavor, puterican rice tasted like white rice. Missed the mark. SERVICE IS TERRIBLE!!! Never came back to my table. Had toget up 3 xs. Got her attention and then never came…. I wouldn’t recommend it…sorry I speak TRUTH ONLY…
They truly fell off. They jacked up the prices and made the portions way smaller and the quality of the food now truly sucks!
Missing items in bag that have already been paid for and they act Clueless smh definitely not the same
The food in this restaurant used to be great. This was when they moved from a very cramped location to the current address. Then it all started to go downhill. The original people who made it great are no longer there and those who replaced them are terrible. Not only is the food very sub par but it’s also way overpriced. Sad to see such a one time great restaurant turn into something I refuse to go to. Sad.
If I could give this place a negative 0 I would. This place is awful! They don’t value their customers at all. I ordered 3 alcapurrias that “were freshly made” they were burnt and just disgusting couldn’t eat them. So I gave a complaint and I still had to pay for them. The owner makes a fortune but taking 3 alcappurrias off a bill was too much for her. She has a nasty attitude and is very rude to her customers. Their food quality is horrible. Old rice, uncooked meat, not flavorful one bit. Wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.
I use to be a frequent customer after today. Constantly getting disrespected verbally with dirty looks from the owner as well as her staff. Today I ordered steak sandwich, & this is what I recieved. A Steak inside a bread with no chesse, onions, or tomatos. Food quality sucks, is pricey, & owner claims to be a Christian but lack respect. Continue to treat your customer this way, & I see you shutting down in the near future.
