Unfortunately we felt judged as tourists in this atmosphere; we were all trying to interact with the staff but they were very unapproachable both times we dined here. Regardless, delicious tasting, accurately priced traditional Colombian food!

Great service Ok Atmosphere for lunch Poor menu Not many options for lunch Arroz Paisa in a restaurant it's hard to find real arroz Paisa Service it's so good

Got a “too good to go” order here for just giving a try in this place. The food is not good at all for 4 bucks. Compare the actual price from the menu. I think this fried chicken with super thick coating does not worth for the visit. People may have a different opinion than mine, but I am just not really impressed to come back as the first time customer. Update: I ended up with throwing it into the trash (except the rice)

I ordered delivery through UberEats and the food was so delicious! I ordered a churrasco and my partner ordered a chicken with shrimp and both of the dishes were excellent and super flavorful. Beans were homemade, rice was great as well. The food is so freaking flavorful this is gonna be my new spot. I’ve eaten at a lot of Hispanic restaurants being a Hudson county resident for 20 years and I have to say this place is definitely on my top 10. Steak was cooked medium how I liked it very soft and tender with a grilled charcoal taste. Wonderful, I’m going to try eating inside the restaurant next time. If you have never been here you gotta try it! Trust me.

When you visit a Colombian restaurant in the New Jersey area early in the morning, you have to be prepared to do things: a lot of conversation and social interaction between waitresses and staff with clients, so this leads to two situations: one that Orders are taken badly, orders are delayed, the wait is longer than usual. If you are not in a hurry come to breakfast here, otherwise just ask for a coffee and some of their bakery and takeaway. The breakfast I ordered was plentiful, but insipid and with an "arepa" (colombian pastries) even worse: poorly cooked. The coffee I must say is extraordinary. Parking on the street is limited, but the place is clean, well organized, with good tables and chairs. They have 4 big TV screens and all of course on the Univision channel. A large glass windo
