Paraiso Dominicano Restaurant — Restaurant in Montclair

O....M...Mother freaking...G!! I have no words...NONE!! Okay...maybe a few...I googled a Dominican place close to my job and this one popped up. 11 minutes away...it had great reviews...so I said what the heck...I'm in the mood for some Dominican food, let's give it a shot. I walked in, the music had me involuntarily dancing! I came later in the day so he didn't have much left but he immediately talked me through what he did have and offered to fry me some tilapia (I took him up on that even though I don't really like tilapia). That FISH was SOOOO delicious!!! I LOVE TILAPIA NOW...well...ONLY from this place. Those FLAVORS!! Is this what happiness tastes like?!?!? He even hooked me up with some yuca and plantain. I ordered the spaghetti as well because it looked delicious and OH MY GOODNESS!! Best spaghetti I have EVER had from any Dominican place!! On top of ALL of that...VERY reasonable pricing!! Go...just go....I couldn't recommend this place more...(Just make sure you leave enough...

Outstanding food at unbeatable prices! But I warn you to please call first to make sure it is open and secondly, to ensure he hasn't sold out of anything. Portions are definitely generous. Rice, beans, chicken, pork, and beef ribs are all deliciously seasoned. The empanadas are huge. He also has several desserts and bottled soft drinks. If you follow him on Instagram, you can see what he made fresh that day. Flavors are bursting throughout every bite yet nothing is overly spicy. Teeny tiny dining area, but the gracious owner makes you feel welcomed and entertained (music and singing provided while you eat). One time, we wanted plantains, but he had run out. Seeing how disappointed we were, he quickly whipped up a batch to add to our meal! Now that's...

As soon as I got out of Montclair Speech my kids were hungry and my wife no longer wants me to get chicken nuggets and French Fries so I goggled "Dominican Food around me" and this came up 4mnt away. We went to the Sprinkler Park in Wassessing Park in Bloomfield and Bella and Luke and my mom and I ate. The service was awesome, if you know Dominican restaurants/ people, they feed you like you've never been fed before, that's their culture, all 4 of us ate, my mom didnt complain as far as food being salty, she loved it and the Pollo a La Braza was slamming too, both my kids loved it. It's a small spot but I'm sure once more people find out about, its gonna be packed...
