Mama Elena’s Restaurant
“This new addition to Passaic works out perfectly for me, instead of waiting to be invited to parties at the owners' home to enjoy their cooking, I can now order it anytime I want to.”
“It got delivered to me within 20 mins and was nice and hot and delicious.”
“We had the Combo #1 which was beef steak grilled with onions, rice, red beans, fried plantains, salad and 2 liters of Coke.”

I was in the area and found this place on yelp. It was delicious. We had vegetable rice with beans and rotisserie chicken. The chicken was amazing and tender, not dry at all. We also had arroz morro with pepper steak, also amazing. Very good food. Nice staff. I was a little confused about whether we order at the counter then get our food or order at the table, but either way we got our food and loved it. Huge portions for cheap. Pleasant lunch. Great Christmas decorations and overall quiet environment. Looks like they do a lot of take out as well.
Mama Elena's has great authentic Dominican food. I like to bring my husband here because it makes him feel like he's back home. They prices are very reasonable and very big portions. Love the Moro and pollo guisado.
cheap, delicious, flavorful food!! Also, if you do it right, healthy! You get plates of a protein and rice and beans. I asked for my meat over a salad instead and they delivered. I got a tomato lettuce salad with roasted chicken on top- they give a huge leg and thigh plus sides for $5!!! They were so friendly to accommodate what I wanted too. we also got the other kind of chicken, (there are no labels here – just ask and they will give you what you want) – it was kind a chicken in a sauce, got that side with a side of rice and beans. delicious! We will be coming back here often!
I compare all Dominican spots to my mother's cooking. If it's anything. Ear her cooking I can say the place is great. With that being said…the food was OK. I was not a fan of the cold maduros. Everything was out fresh as I got there a little after 12pm. Staff was friendly but I think the lady that was serving us was partially deaf. I spoke to her in Spanish but I had to repeat myself a few times. Other than that…the place is very clean and had an authentic Dominican feel to it.
