Ironbound Cafe - Newark

A friend and I stopped in here for a bite to eat. I had chicken and shrimp chaulfa. My friend had a grilled chicken salad. Although I thought it was a little overpriced, I was pleased with my plate. The salad didn't look too impressive but he said he enjoyed it. My one recommendation would be that if they have salad on the menu, they offer more than just oil and vinegar as a salad dressing. I believe this may be a cultural thing but not all of their customers are Hispanic and it wasnt a side salad. It was a full meal. I would go back and try other items on the menu. The service was friendly and prompt. The atmosphere as very nice.

Food was good but not great. It took 1hour to get our food so try not to go if you are already starving. Service was lacking!!!Had to ask for the check 3 times and it wasn't even that busy. No one even bother to check on us. We had to keep flagging down the waitress for napkins, more drinks (since we finished them waiting so long), extra plate, etc.. Five people ate a main dish and the bill was OVER $100. Personally, I will try another place next time. We didn't want to try our luck asking for dessert not like it was even offered or suggested.

Worst restaurant ever charged me for Bolon de verde mixto. no good very bad preparation no salt and no chicharron. Very dry... . manager never tried to repair the situation. worst experience. please retrain your personal. Please avoid this place. No acceptan America Express.

They automatically put 18% tips on the bill while there's hardly any so call service deserve that. I saw there's another bill on the the table from someone else and was no tips charge on the bill. The waitress responded because we are a table for two person!!!! I used to work in a restaurant and always gave generous tips when dinning out. This is ridiculous It's not about the money, it's the principle about how they treat the customers.

Happened upon this place after dropping our luggage (they are a luggage locker for Vertoe) and the staff was very welcoming. Really friendly and ready to serve. Food was great, empanadas with tomato pepper sauce was really good.
