Very clean establishment with the nicest owners and staff! The food was delicious and the portions are huge! We will be making this our pregame stop before events at Prudential because I wasn't the slightest bit hungry for hours after eating at Konoz, and that saved me a ton of money at the concession stands 😄
The food was amazing!! My family and I ate here for my mom’s birthday and loved every minute. With great salsa music playing, and the both the owner and workers being very nice! If you’re looking for authentic Puerto Rican food I would come here! We will definitely love to come back.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My new favorite restaurant!! After eating here, my family doesn’t even want me to cook anymore 🥹 That’s how GOOD it is! Hands down the most authentic Spanish food we’ve had in a long time. Alex treated us like family from the moment we walked in. The food came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The appetizers tasted just like my grandma’s—especially the alcapurrias! They were so good I ordered extra to go. The fish fritters were perfectly crispy and delicious. The portions were HUGE! We loved the roast pork and the shrimp mofongo. My steak and onions were served in the cutest little caldero, and the maduros were sweet and cooked to perfection. And the flan… out of this world! Do yourself a favor and get a happy passion fruit or mango drink—you’ll be smiling the whole time. And the coquito? The BEST I’ve ever had! My new go-to spot. Highly, highly recommend! ✨
I was thoroughly impressed with the authentic Puerto Rican cuisine served here. Alex, the owner/chef, warmly greeted us and made our evening special. Each dish was full of flavor, showcasing the chef's skill. Given the exceptional service and food quality, I strongly recommend this place. Our thanks to Alex and the entire staff for a memorable dining experience.
This was by far the best experience my family had at a restaurant. It felt like we were in Puerto Rico and the owners were very welcoming. My Autistic daughter felt very comfortable and safe. The food choices were amazing. The taste, quality and presentation of the food is everything. Our family highly recommend you visit Konoz if you really want to feel at home somewhere in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 😊.
We came to Newark for a concert and wanted to have dinner when we arrived. We walked into Konoz to order food to go! Alex and Silvia were so welcoming and we felt at home that we ended up eating in. Gracias a Dios that we did. Not only was the food phenomenal our experience with the owners were amazing. We will definitely be coming back. I would literally come for a day trip to visit Konoz, have a good time while eating some amazing food.
To begin, I can say that Alex, the owner, gives you an excellent welcome. The waitress is a very nice and attentive girl. The atmosphere is super pleasant, and the food is exquisite. The alcapurria, the pernil, and the trifongo were all truly delicious. Puerto Rican food in the Ironbond area! 🏆🙌🏻 Thank you, I'll be back soon.
I went here with my family on a Sunday morning. It's a very cute little place. Clean and who I assume was the owner was very friendly. Food was excellent. I had the Konoz omelette, My son had the konoz breakfast sandwich, and my wife and daughter shared the quarter chicken. The fried plantains were delicious and the chicken had a had a really good smoky flavor. We also had the flan for dessert which was better than expected. Great spot for breakfast highly recommend.
A true taste of Puerto Rico in the Ironbound. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere made us feel like we were back on the island. The owners were incredibly welcoming and made the whole experience even more special. The food was 10/10 in both taste and presentation. They were also accommodating with a food allergy, which we really appreciated. We left so happy and can’t wait to come back!
