Okay, I have to say it Se Salio El Pollo is incredible. This is easily some of the juiciest, most flavorful chicken I’ve ever had in the US, I’m from Paraguay, and this chicken instantly reminded me of home. The moment you bite into it, you taste that smoky, rich flavor and the meat is so tender and juicy that it literally melts in your mouth. I was honestly amazed, es una maravilla. The milanesa? Perfection. Crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside, with that flavor that just makes you smile with every bite. And the empanadas, just wow. Baked, not fried, and you can tell they use real, quality chicken inside, both white and dark meat, perfectly seasoned and incredibly tasty. They feel homemade in the best, most authentic way. They also give you so many sauces, and they are

Really solid food for a really good price. We tried a bunch of stuff including the roasted chicken, maduros, tamale, and some mashed potato that was deep fried. I also had a slice of tres leches that i took back. The plantains were pretty good, not fully ripe though. The tamale I wasn't too impressed with. Very different from the Mexican variant and not in a good way in my opinion. The chicken however was really freaking good. We ordered a whole chicken and demolished it. The fried mashed potato was pretty good but just too filling for me. As for the tres leche, I was not a fan of this one. The cake was chunky, I couldn't tell if it was nuts or poorly mixed batter. Service was really good, but i had my Puerto Rican buddy with me to speak spanish. I would have been in a bit of trouble tryin

One of the best ceviche places in NJ. And excellent green hot sauce. Huge portions served. I recommended any seafood dish, they are excellent.

Hmmm... My brother in laws girlfriend took us to this restaurant when we visited NJ last month. As soon as walked in the restaurant that smell of Lysol hits my nostrils. Only one server taking care of 9 tables. Pretty busy place. We ordered 2 whole chicken and I was pretty hungry so I gobbled 4 pieces right away. We ordered other things and these are the only pictures I took since I was hungry. The chicken was great. Nice flavor and tender. The hot sauce they provided was amazing. Price is great as well. I forgot about the Lysol smell. Left full and happy - 4 stars!
