nice small spot with some good traditional food. service was quick and decent price. defiantly a good spot for a quick lunch.

Food was delicious. Everyone was so nice and attentive . The time we went wasn't busy at all . I will def return.

8/24/24 My husband, always on the lookout for authentic Dominican restaurants, was eager to try this spot. While street parking was a bit of a challenge, we managed to find a spot within a few blocks. The restaurant is small and intimate, with a handful of tables. The ordering process is unique, as you select your dishes from a glass case and place your order at the counter. We started with a refreshing Jugo de Cereza (cherry juice), which was a perfect balance of sweet and tart. Bacalao (salted cod) was cooked to perfection, tender and not overly salty. Vegetable rice was a flavorful accompaniment. Cocido de Paticas (Pig Feet Stew) was a standout dish, with the meat falling off the bone effortlessly. The Black Bean Moro and Habichuelas Roja (red kidney beans) rounded out our meal nicely. This seemed like a no-frills, local restaurant, ideal for a quick and affordable meal. The authentic Dominican flavors and friendly service made for a satisfying dining experience.

Amazing food , love the food , a lot to pick from, always delicious and pretty affordable

One of the better Dominican restaurants around Passaic county. Good especially for the workers and ride share drivers who are on the go and looking for a nice heavy grub.

First time eating here, ordered mofongo con chicarron and it was freshly made and tasted great. You get good bang for your buck

This is most definitely the place to come to enjoy amazing Dominican cuisine with Dominican flavors that Grandma used to make. My wife ordered the Stew Mashed Eggplant with white rice and white beans (I reckon she likes all-white things). I got me Oxtail, Pigeon Peas rice. For Salad we got Avocado, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Beets and Cabbage. The food was splendid, very tasty. The service was excellent, out server was Mary, she handled our orders like a pro, super friendly and very helpful. Aridia another staff member, was also very nice and amiable. For drinks my wife had a Country Club Merengue (Cola Champagne) soda and I had a thick, delicious Morir Soñando (Orange Creamsicle). So far Costambar is the best Dominican joint in Paterson. We loved it!

This little spot is a great local find. The food is flavorful, inexpensive and comes in a large portion, so you get your moneys worth (always a plus). They have a pretty good selection of fresh food to pick from, my go to is always their chicken stew on a bed of rice and beans with some maduros (sweet plantains) on the side. The spot itself is kind of small so beware of the lunch and dinner rush hours! I have ordered out a couple of times because it was so packed, needless to say it still tasted good even after hauling them over to my house. The staff is also very nice and will answer any food questions you have, if you aren't familiar with Dominican food (do yourself a favor and get familiar).

Good Dominican food. Everything is prepared you just pick and choose what you want and prices are fair. They have an good variety of plates that you can mix. I got the white rice red beans and pork and it was delicious. Tasted home made. I definitely recommend it.
