I haven’t had Doninican food like this from a restaurant in years. Everything tasted like it was made by someone who loves what they are doing(you know the taste).

The food at this restaurant is amazing! They catered my 60 person wedding and everything was above and beyond. Not only was the quality of chicken/steak amazing, but it was also seasoned perfectly. We had an abundance of food and guests all wanted to take some home. Separately, they provided servers for the food and they were so amazing! Super professional and efficient. So very happy and grateful with the outcome of booking Mama Elena’s Paterson. Thank you!

Hanging out in Kaohsiung, Taiwan without any Dominican restaurants, my friend and our family decided to meet up here and sample ALL the deliciousness. Plate after plate kept arriving with overwhelming Caribbean flavor and textures. The attentive staff was there to ensure every need was met with a smile. Of course we had more than we could finish in one sitting, but who could say no to dessert? Dulce de leche Cheesecake, flan, and tres leches cake…all in very generous portion sizes.

Talking about Over priced food and did not even have no seasoning. I ordered a beef chimi that only taste like pure oregano and vinegar. The shrimp Morongo was very dry and thier passion fruit juice was just discussing it tasted like water and sugar not a passion fruit taste what so ever. I will not be buying from here again. I was disappointed .

I placed an order on uber eats while i was admitted to the hospital and unfortunately my fried plantains came drenched in oil and the rice reaked of burnt pot, nicely i called the store and asked for a refund before expressing myself to uber eats. The owner informed me he would try to handle it with uber and return my call. they never got back to me and neither did uber and i lost 23$ of a meal or so. ai also informed him i planned ok re ordering and not even that got me my money back. I’m extremely annoyed with the entire situation and its been 2 days since the incident. that food was never worth that amount in the first place the delivery fees are absurd.

I brought my father here for lunch. The food is beyond delicious, the portion is large, the customer service is phenomenal, the price was excellent, the atmosphere is comfortable-chic. I stepped away from my plate for a while to go across the street to the T-Mobile, the waitress covered my food and reheated it when I returned. If i could give higher star rating I would. My our new favorite!
