Bonao Con Clase

Bonao Con Clase is one of my favorite places to go in Paterson for a Dominican style breakfast or lunch.
Must haves include the «tres golpes» which consists of fried eggs, fried cheese and fried salami over a platter of mangu (mashed boiled plantains). It’s a deadly combo, but it hits the spot when I’m craving a taste of home. This is considered Dominican style breakfast, and may account for the epidemic heart problems we are facing lol.
For lunch I usually stick with one of their specialty sandwiches, my favorite being the cuban sandwich. It is made in the traditional cuban style, with pernil (roast pork), ham, swiss cheese, mustard and pickles, all toasted together in a heated press.
I love the coffee! True spanish coffee makes you realize that Dunkin Donuts tastes like mud.
Prices are very affordable. I bought a cuban, a chicken empanada and a small coffee for about $ 6.50 yesterday. I also saw that the soup special, fish soup with a side of rice, was being sold for less than $ 5.00. I’m told the soup special changes daily, even offering sancocho (a must try Latin stew) at times.
It is not a spacious place. I estimate counter space for about 8 stools. Everything else would have to be take-​out. All the employees I have met are Dominican. You will get the true feel for Dominicans, great sense of humour with a bit of a rough edge.
That the hours are too short, is the only negative thing I can say.
