At a restaurant garnering mixed feedback on its Puerto Rican offerings, diners have praised the vibrant service but expressed disappointment over the food's authenticity and quality. While some dishes, such as the canoa rellena and empanadas, received positive mentions for their flavor and presentation, others like mofongo and bistec fell short, described as dry or bland. Additionally, concerns were raised about billing practices, particularly regarding automatic gratuity for smaller parties. Despite these criticisms, a few patrons found delight in their meals, indicating the potential for a rewarding dining experience with the right choices. Overall, the restaurant leaves guests with a range of opinions and expectations.

My sister had visited this café, which specializes in Puerto Rican cuisine, a few times before. After the recent Tri-State Athletic Games, we decided to visit with a group of athletes with disabilities. The food was good. The beef stew was tender and well-seasoned, and both the sweet and green plantains were perfectly cooked—not dry at all. The rice was cooked just right, paired well with the roasted chicken and shrimp. We also enjoyed the combo appetizer board, which included empanadas, three beef-filled pastries, and yuca. Overall, it was a great experience, and the parking lot is fully wheelchair accessible.

I’m so glad we discovered this hidden gem of a café in Woodbridge, NJ! Everything we ordered for takeout was incredibly delicious and truly captured authentic Puerto Rican flavors. Wepa! Thank you! We’ll definitely be back! Xoxoxoxoxox YUMMMMM!!!!

To everyone who loves great food, I recently stopped by Surrender Café, and I must say, it was an incredible experience. The moment I walked in, the delicious aromas reminded me of everything I love about this island, making me feel right at home. The flavors truly made me surrender my taste buds! The service was not just good—it was exceptional. The atmosphere was the best I've ever encountered in a restaurant. This place is a must-visit!

If you're looking for a comment to convince you, that's me. I'm a selfish local telling you, you should eat here to keep a beloved local spot alive and well. Perfect rice (competing with moms), and pork that has me craving it hundreds of miles away. If you're close by and considering, do me a favor and eat some on my behalf.
