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.
My family and I were really impressed with our first experience of Puerto Rican cuisine. We will definitely be returning, as everything we ordered was pure comfort food—well prepared and delicious. We even had enough leftovers for another meal. My kids loved the cilantro dressing so much that they’re now trying to make their own at home. The desserts were wonderful, though I wasn’t particularly fond of the pumpkin-spiced flan. Overall, it was a great dining experience!
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!
I came few years ago and never came back. Because of someone treated me bad, but I gave another chance and truly regret it not to come before. My churrasco was on point super tender and flavor was so good beans also were good. I will definitely come back and will recommend other people to come. Thanks also for hospitality was on point. Love it. Keep up the good work guys in the kitchen and waitresses. Luis O. González

This restaurant offers a fantastic lunch experience. The food is exceptional, earning a perfect five stars, especially the Arroz Con Gandules, which I highly recommend. The service is equally impressive, with attentive and friendly staff who make you feel welcome. The atmosphere of the restaurant is delightful, creating a cozy and inviting environment. Overall, it's a great place to enjoy a meal!
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.
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!!!!
The service was excellent, the food tasted great, and the staff were very friendly. The meals were served quickly and at the perfect temperature. I dined in for lunch, and the price per person was between $10 and $20.

Empanadas are Delicious and the red dipping sauce makes it even better.
