For more than 25 years, Albert's Mofongo has been Hackensack NJ's premier Dominican restaurant, renowned for its authentic, flavorful mofongo. We were one of the first Caribbean restaurants to offer a variety of mofongo styles — from classic pork chicharrón to premium lobster tail.
Each mofongo is hand-pounded to order, seasoned with our secret garlic mojo, and served piping hot. It's not just a dish — it's a Dominican experience.

"Best mofongo I've ever had outside of DR! The pork mofongo is perfectly crispy and the garlic mojo sauce is incredible. This place reminds me of my abuela's cooking. A true gem in Hackensack."
"The all-you-can-eat buffet for $15 is an unbelievable deal. Pernil that falls off the bone, fresh tostones, arroz con gandules — everything tastes authentic. We come here every Sunday as a family."
"Ordered delivery for the first time and was blown away. The shrimp mofongo arrived hot and fresh. Portions are huge and the flavors are so rich. Already planning my next order!"
"BYOB is a game changer! We brought a nice bottle of wine and enjoyed an amazing dinner. The lobster mofongo is worth every penny. Staff is super friendly and welcoming."
"Catered our daughter's quinceañera and Albert's did an amazing job. The sancocho, pernil, and mofongo were all perfect. Over 80 guests and everyone raved about the food!"
"I'm not even Dominican and this is my favorite restaurant in NJ. The chicharrón de pollo is crispy perfection and the mangú breakfast is the best way to start a weekend. Highly recommend!"
