Thank you for having consistently good late night food Rancho. The menu/location looks intimating but pick 2-4 protein options and give it a go. There's a few things to note when you visit this food truck quality hole in the wall: 1. It's a fried food joint that serves up a quick meal 2. The staff speaks mostly Spanish but communicating/translating is easy with todays technology 3. Options may be eccentric for some with pig ears, tripe or pork stomach (buche) on the menu 4: fresh juices are pricey $5-6 but necessary 5. No seating, just one or two bar stools while you wait If you don't know what to get, I suggest my favorite meal enough for 2: carne frita de res, salami y mulo de pollo, un chimi y una limonada. This translates to fried thin beef strips, Dominican style smoked fried sausage with a side of green plantains; beef style hamburger (cabbage and pink sauce and a limeade (made with green limes instead of meters lemons)

Good Dominican eats nothing extraordinary but 5 stars for what it's trying to be which is simply a good Dominican restaurant.

Beautiful! Lovely food! Great service! Makes me feel like I'm overseas without a doubt.

Best fritura place in town awesome staff. This is my second time here and can't wait to come again really good. Shootout to my boy Alvin that told me bout this place

Very good food, fast service. You can see the meat before they fry it. My favorite is morcilla and orejitas, with the tostones.

I am so full and satisfied by the food here. Everything is made fresh. They only make frituras. I got the stomach and beef with a side of tostones. The man at the counter cut everything up fresh and fried it, even the tostones. These were the best tostones I've had. They don't taste like they've been sitting around all day because they are fresh. 2 meats and a plaintain side is only $7. A good meal to fill you up all day. I wasn't a big fan of the beef because it was already cooked then fried. It came out a little dry. The stomach though was SO GOOD. I will come back again if it's not too hard to find parking.

Much needed late-night fritanga/chuchifritos spot, very popular among locals in Perth Amboy. It's a very small restaurant, with a walk-up counter, where you'll see the chef fiercely chopping away with a meat cleaver. There's a menu board on the right, but the basic gist is: First, you pick what size of platter (picadera) you want, then which cuts of meat you want, and they fry it all up on the spot with tostones, everything tossed with garlic and lime. The current choices are typically a variation of: orejita (ear with cartilage) corazon (heart) lengua (tongue) riñón (kidney) patita (foot) tripita (tripe) buche (cheek) asadura (offal / internal organs/entrails) hosico (snout) longaniza (sausage) chicharron (fried pork rind) morcilla (blood sausage) pollo frito (fried chicken) cerdo frito (fried pork) carne de res frita (fried beef) chuleta humada (smoked pork chop) In addition, for a faster snack, they sell chimichurris or chimis, a famous type of Dominican burger, sometimes called the Dominican Big Mac.

Cuchifritos that I normally have to drive to the Bronx to get or Dominican Republic. Awesome service and great personalities. Love this place

When you visit, get the chimichuri! It's almost like a Big Mac but soooo much better. There's something about the coleslaw they put on the sandwich that intensifies the taste. Honestly I've never had anything like this before so I'm super happy I got to try it out. I'm definitely new to Dominican foods so this sandwich is probably like a hamburger to some folks. Love it! Don't forget the fried plantains! Im not a fan of plantains but theirs definitely made me like them.

This is a hole in the wall restaurant which one of my coworker recommended me. It's Dominican food. And it's great. The food is delicious. We went there on New Year's Eve and the guy spoke Spanish only. One of the customer in the restaurant explained us food and gave us his recommendations. We selected the food we wanted to try & cook fried it& gave it with plantain chips.. It's a cash only place & filled with locals.. Do try & you won't be disappointed.. they are open late.. not much seating option..
