I've been here:

https://goo.gl/maps/rUQSHJp8XG5tTKDX7 (Ilobasco, Salvadorian, also just off Rt 1 Elizabeth)

in recent weeks. Impressed with both, good food moderately priced.

We also like

https://goo.gl/maps/PzPkEpRmbJnaVt8M9 (Sabor Colombiano, across Rt 1 from the other two) and my friend has recently opened a place upstairs at 90 Ferry st in Ironbound, above the Japanese restaurant. I'm sure it's pretty good.
