Sara & Sophia Restaurante

While passing through this area, my husband and I noticed how many people seemed to be dining here on an otherwise quiet hour. "Want to give it a chance?" is my partner's way of suggesting, 'Let's walk into this restaurant we know absolutely nothing about and try foods we've never had before!' As we hesitated, a departing customer opened the door and the smells coming from inside the restaurant were all it took to convince us to step in. We clearly stuck out like a sore thumb among a sea of Hispanic families, but no one made us feel uncomfortable and our server was patient with our flood of questions about the menu. A quick glance around the restaurant quickly revealed that nearly table had bowls of a deep orange broth topped with red onions...so we immediately knew we had to order that.

Always wanted to try this place because I love Ecuadorian food. But to say it was a disappointment is an understatement! The chicken chicken was like weeks old, probably frozen for months, and overall it was disgustingly salty. If you want truly good food, go to Bonanza across the way. Their food is exceptional and consistent.

I've been coming to this restaurant since it was Bohemia Restaurant, I believe with the same owner. Regardless, food is really delicious and portions are generous. Staff is cordial and accommodating and it is BYOB. My family is mix and I have friends from all over that have invited to eat here and they all loved this place. MENU options are really good. I don't understand, truly don't, why the low ratings. This place should be at least 4.8 stars. Their lunch menu is also delicious and includes a free drink for $12. You can't really beat that for a full lunch with soup and a main course. The only thing I personally don't like about the place is the loud music, but If asked, they lower the volume. the other annoying thing is that they close way too early. Other than that 10/10 recommen

Hands down, the best spot in Hackensack for Ecuadorian cuisine! You can always count on their amazing service and delicious food. I absolutely recommend giving it a try!

Ordered Chrorizo tacos to go, which were good and I appreciate the serving size, but please double the tortilla because each one broke apart once I picked them up and tried eating them. Also ordered a Mango Shake which didn't have a good Mango flavor... they didn't give me utensils or napkins either.
