★★★★★ 5.0 Constance Rubow · Nov 2025

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.

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.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Ozzie Quinones · Sep 2025

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.

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.
