Surrender Cafe

Finding Puerto Rican food is difficult. Finding good Puerto Rican food is even more difficult. This is my go-to spot for PR food in Central Jersey. I've been eating here for nearly a decade. From dine-in to take-out, it's all good.

Called today around 12 noon to place a large order of empanadas… by 1:30 I had 25 empanadas…. 10 chicken 10 beef and 5 cheese…

We brought these to a Halloween / birthday party and they were an absolute hit and the talk of the whole day. Fresh authentic, the green and red sauces both fresh and delicious as well.. I will be back for more. I would like to say I also want to eat here i was looking through a menu waiting for my order and I have to tell you the eat in menu is amazing and the place is absolutely spotless and clean.

Bravo to the team at this restaurant they really are doing it right

Melanie was such a great server ! She was so sweet super friendly and made my experience trying this spot for the first time perfect absolutely 10/10 !!

Omgg! Where do I start. The place was amazing. Go there TODAY! NOW! As soon as you can. The staff made the experience wonderful. Especially Melanie!!! And Harold. Melanie was absolutely amazing to us. Melanie was very attentive and accommodated us to whatever we may have asked. She is awesome ! The food was amazing.. it reminded me of home, and as well was the service, and music. If you want to go to a Puerto Rican restaurant that reminds you of home, go here. Puerto Rican banners hanging everywhere, beautiful art of Puerto Rico and San Juan all around. All in all just beautiful. It was my birthday & I took a gazillion photos, and Melanie did not mind at all. They wanted the experience to be nothing but amazing. Thank you guys for making my birthday dinner amazing.

Great place for authentic Puerto Rican food ! Loved the sounds of the coqui when you arrive to the front of the establishment.The Perfect homemade Caribbean dinner !
