New Carmen’s - Jersey City

Let's start with the food was cold. Secondly it was very bland for those who are familiar with Spanish food don't buy here. Thirdly why In the world is my pernil slimy. I honestly was expecting better quality.

Ordered for the first time tonight. The delivery was lightning fast, and food is super tasty. My only heads up is that if you order a dish and then select ‘white rice and red (or black) beans’, they throw it all together in one container. I’m personally not a fan, and prefer everything separate. They also delivered the wrong dish- I ordered steak with onions, and got a steak stew. Otherwise it’s a nice go-to for cheap, fast, and tasty no frills home cooked Dominican food ????

I ordered from DoorDash to explore some local options that were reasonably priced, and this restaurant fit the bill perfectly. The value for the price is unbeatable. The dishes were packed with flavor. The beef stew served over rice and peas was excellent, with tender beef that I could easily break apart with a plastic spoon. The fried pork pieces were tasty, although a bit salty. I just wished they were served hot; since they were at room temperature, they ended up being quite chewy.

The food here is fantastic and very reasonably priced. They serve generous portions, and the flavors are outstanding. The staff is always laughing and having a great time behind the counter, which creates a wonderful atmosphere. As a Puerto Rican, I find myself coming here frequently for delicious Spanish cuisine.

This was our first time ordering, and we’re really pleased with our choices. The prices are great too! The fried pork chop was well-seasoned and moist, and it's not breaded, which is perfect for those who prefer it that way. My daughter absolutely loved the chicken noodle soup, which was loaded with chicken. Last but definitely not least, the fried chicken was crispy, juicy, and full of flavor.
