Empanadas Monumental — Restaurant in Newark

If you are looking to experience the creative Caribbean variety of empanadas and menu uniqueness, then this Dominican restaurant is the spot! It's like taking a small piece of the island's culture and taste, and condensing it into this location. Empanadas Monumental, can literally be found throughout the Dominican Republic, my wife and I were ecstatic when we drove by and saw the logo banner on the store front. The entrance display has a replicated setup of a typical "Colmado" (Dominican Bodega) which we loved! And even more so, the food! Amazing! Im a huge fan of the Bola De Queso, Res and Yuca. It brought back memories. I highly recommend you to come and try it. Next time, wifey and I will skip take out...

Went to this place just looking for something good to eat and instead I got nothing but a disgusting attitude. The woman is so rude its unbelievable, please don’t waste your time and money coming here. On top of the horrible service my empanada is dry and I was over charged when the prices are clearly labeled. Will never ever go...

I love the atmosphere of this place, so clean, refreshing, and i love the smell of the food. I will say i did have my doubts haha, but when that empanada hit the tip of my tongue... i was in tears of joy. The tastiness, the richness,the flavors,the spices.. its like heaven sent food. Ill definitely be coming back...
