AzucaR Buffet,

96 Park Ave, Summit, NJ 07901, United States

"Amazing local spot with great tasting pastries and baked goods. Good lunch buffet selection. Super friendly staff. Staff speakes spanish but never had a problem understanding what I wanted. Good fresh coffee as well. Check out their doughnut looking cheese pastry (pandequeso)."

"First time there drove by and picked up some empanadas beef & chicken it was delicious. Can’t wait to go again. Gracias ☺️"

"Really good food at a reasonable price. We came for lunch and everything was delicious. Could have used hot sauce on the table and bigger napkins but this place is definitely 10/10 and I've eaten at many Latin food places in many locations. This is one of the best."

"Tucked away gem serving latin buffet with plenty of seating. AzucaR Buffet feels very new and is very organized, there are only a handful of parking spots in front, the closest spot to the restaurant is handicapped. It also has a ramp up to the the front door if you have a wheelchair. I really like the sign out front backlit with pink neon and another small neon sign, it felt very welcoming. Inside has a large mural painting on the wall and you will pass through neat rows of tables and chairs to reach the counter in the back that has several display cases for their food. They have a fresh orange juice press! They are not specific about the country or origin of their food only to say it is a Latin Buffet but I sensed there might be a specific country judging by some of the small touches evident in their food. This might be to appeal to a wider audience within Latin America. Let's start with their preparation of Avena (oatmeal) - it's wonderful but maybe not what you would expect. I'll call it a warm shamrock shack that has mostly melted and it is delicious. It's thin, milky, sweet and served in a coffee cup with lid. You can literally drink it and had me thinking why not ditch the morning coffee for AzucaR Buffet's oatmeal. 100% stopping back for this. The last time I had a similar preparation was on my daily walk to my office on 7th Ave and roughly 26th Street and that restaurant was Cuban. I also tried the rotisserie chicken, potato salad, and empanadas. All were very good, the bean empanadas were really tasty. The preparation of the beans, similar to the oatmeal was beans ground down into a liquid like paste, maybe the consistency of mayonnaise, cheese was also combined which had a similar consistency and it was very tasty. So this wasn't just some beans and cheese slapped together, a ground up preparation that was delicious. Hard to tell but I think the outer shell may have been fried but was nothing special from the outside. Not overly bready either. I noticed the potato salad had hot dogs in it which I have never seen. It was tasty and again had me thinking was this a preparation specific to a country or just a house style or handed down recipe. Rotisserie chicken was good for sure but I can't say it was above and beyond other rotisserie chicken as they all taste great to me. On their menu they mention Columbia and Costa Rica so maybe this is the origin of these flavors. Either way I am a fan now. They do have regular/america breakfast sandwiches which I did not try because why would you if visiting Latin America. If you cozy up to their display cases you can select from any of the hot dishes and they will assemble into a take-out container and I believe the cost is by weight. This was only my first visit and there are many other items on the menu to explore."

"I used this restaurant for catering today and not only did they deliver on time they brought plenty of food for 17 people very good quantity and the taste of the garlic chicken, beef fajitas, rice and beans and plantains was exceptional. I had a budget and they worked with me and provided me a very reasonable cost too. They are friendly and service oriented and we will certainly order from Azucar over and over . Ask for Angela she is great"
