Rancho Mateo Of Bound Brook

The food was great, but the beans were a bit too watery. Overall, I would rate the food a 5, the service a 5, and the atmosphere a 5.

Overall, the experience was quite average—nothing really stood out. The prices are high, and while I can't give it a bad rating since the food itself isn't terrible, I would recommend looking for another place you know or have heard good things about. The service wasn't particularly impressive, and I even found plastic in my arepa. If you're curious and want to try it for yourself, go ahead, but personally, I would rather dine elsewhere. Food: 4.

I stopped by late at night for some empanadas since I was hungry and nearby the Promenade area. The parking situation felt a bit unsettling, with two groups of men loitering by their cars. The service was quite slow, and I was incorrectly charged for something I didn't order, which made getting a refund a hassle. The empanadas were decent but not the best I've had in the area. I'd consider coming back in a pinch, but I’ll definitely order ahead next time. Food: 4/5

The food didn't meet my expectations; it was burnt, dry, and lacking in flavor. As for the service, I would rate it a 2. The atmosphere also gets a 2. I spent between $30 and $50 per person for the dining experience. Overall, I was quite disappointed.

Great atmosphere! I'm not a fan of picada, and there were quite a few fried dishes. Overall, I'd rate the food a 4, the service a 4, and the atmosphere a 5.
