Rancho Restaurant

Quick Dominican style food. If you go after a club it's a free for all. Bunch of drunk people who don't respect the line or say your food is theirs after you waited around. Note they don't want to wait for their food or jump ahead of you with that Dominican style attitude.

Great food, i just wish it was bigger

Great place. Love the food but long wait on line

Much needed late-night fritura/chuchifritos spot, very popular among locals in Perth Amboy.

It's a very small restaurant, with a walk-up counter, where you'll see the chef fiercely chopping away with a meat cleaver.

There's a menu board on the right, but the basic gist is:

First, you pick what size of platter (picadera) you want, then which cuts of meat you want, and they fry it all up on the spot with tostones, everything tossed with garlic and lime.

The current choices are typically a variation of:

orejita (ear with cartilage)
corazon (heart)
lengua (tongue)
riñón (kidney)
patita (foot)
tripita (tripe)
buche (cheek)
asadura (offal / internal organs/entrails)
hosico (snout)

longaniza (sausage)
chicharron (fried pork rind)
morcilla (blood sausage)
pollo frito (fried chicken)
cerdo frito (fried pork)
carne de res frita (fried beef)
chuleta humada (smoked pork chop)

In addition, for a faster snack, they sell chimichurris or chimis, a famous type of Dominican burger, sometimes called the Dominican Big Mac.
