Rancho Mateo

Very happy to find a great Colombian Restaurant in NJ. Food was delicious and the service at the bar amazing. Will be coming again from NYC. So worth it. Thank you 😊

Food is good but nothing to rave about. Drinks are also OK but on the expensive side - a mojito is $15, and Happy Hour ends at 6 pm, when it generally ends at 7 pm in most places. Meanwhile, at 6:15 pm, on a Thursday night, the bar was almost completely empty and the entire restaurant was 10% full. Service is attentive and courteous. The music is on the loud side.

I live nearby in the area and have been here 3 times over the past 7 years. Food is good, service is very good (very nice staff), and music is great. Its spacious and comfortable to dine in. BUT the music is WAY TOO LOUD. Like deafening, permanent hearing loss loud. I see in these review that I am not the only one who thinks so. Please GM Juan Rendon, listen to this feedback and adjust the volume. We want to dance. We want to hear the music, but we should be able to talk, laugh, hear other people. Its literally painful to the ears. If this were resolved, I would definitely come here more regularly. I'm sure they are missing out on a lot more repeat business because of this issue. So easy to fix too.

Excellent place. Good prices, great food

So we went to this restaurant for Father’s Day once there we got a quick table but after giving our order in we had to wait 45 to 50 minutes for food to come out the place was getting busy I understand that but I feel the service could’ve been better I ordered a Grilled skirt steak with shrimp and plantains well done came out a little red with blood on and the plantain wasn’t well done super greasy my kids food came out good no complaints my wife order a soup never came out and so we had to cancel that didn’t want to wait longer and she order Colombian style shrimp ceviche the shrimp wasn’t well done and I ordered dessert It wasn’t good other than that I feel I could’ve been better service, but since the tip was already included in the bill I feel that that’s why the service wasn’t better
