El Patio

So my wife and I stopped by Ridgefield Park to see a house decked in Halloween decorations at 335 Main Street, it was fun. After taking pictures we google places to eat nearby, and this is how we found this Dominican restaurant.

As soon as we stepped in we got a whiff of tasty Dominican cuisine. We were greeted by Beatriz, a charming & friendly young lady. It so happens that the chef and owner are two gentlemen that we knew from another Dominican restaurant in Teaneck years ago. The owner Dario & chef Ismael. We recognized each other, what a small world.

We ordered Chicken soup, Sancocho (a hearty Dominican soup) & Fried Chicken Crackling with Red bean Moro (mixed red beans and rice) to go.

The Chicken is crispy but yet tender inside, full of flavor, the Moro is soft and tasty. We placed both soups in the fridge to eat tomorrow.

Ismael did a superb job cooking and the owner Dario is very amiable! They do deliveries.

Their food taste so good (coming from a dominican) it tastes like it is made from home. ❤

Excellent food, service and clean. 100% recommended!
