One of the best Dominican food places in Northern New Jersey. Owners are always there and the food is always fresh and very tasty! Glad they opened this location.

If you ever wonder where to get Dominican food in Bergen county, there is absolutely no need to drive all the way to Manhattan. All one got to do is stop by Lula’s Latin Cuisine in Lodi. You will not only get an absolutely delicious food by an amazing host/owner, Reimy and his team. I had the privilege of stopping by tonight to finally get one of the specials rabo guisado (oxtail stew), white rice with black beans for takeout. Upon arrival, their small parking lot in front is shared with another establishment off the busy Essex Street. It’s a small establishment with a great selection of food. There were some seatings by the window, but predominately takeout. Their price was reasonable and portion size decent. The food was tasty, well seasoned and delicious as a sign that they put love in preparing their food. This was my first time here but certainly not the last which I can recommend.

One of my favorite places to get rabo is this restaurant. I always come here for it; I love the food!

Since trying Lula's over the summer, my family and I have become regulars here. The food is delicious, the service is great too! Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you'll have plenty of delicious options to choose from. I must say Lisa and Rachel are so friendly and always have a great attitude. I met Lula a couple of times, and she greets you like family.

The food was very delicious. The staff treats you like family. The service was fast and I enjoyed every bit of it.
