Colombian Restaurants near Bergenfield, NJ

“I got my lunch today from La Placita. The food was super delicious.I had, white rice, beans, pork , and a little salad. The lunch also includes a little soup. They had beef or chicken.I picked chicken soup, perfect for this type of weather.
Another thing I like about La Placita, is their extensive bakery line.I had the corn bread, it's shape in the form of a big tart.Delicious. Their guava roll is extremely good also.
This place is always extremely clean.I Love to get my meals and bakery items from here .
The customer service is outstanding...“

“Love to see a good place on this corner, never really wanted to come in since all the other businesses prior here were not good but we decided to give it a try. Parking could be a little challenging, you may find parking behind the building or on the main street. We ordered Hawaiian hot dog, arepa mixta and Oblea. Hot dog was delicious, the actual arepa was super bland BUT what was on it was really good, the chicharron was crunchy and full of flavor. Oblea was so good, cant wait to go back for cholados and more hot dogs, not too sure about the arepas for the future.We wish them Exitos!! Y coloquenle saborcito a las arepas, solo porque son de maiz blanco no tienen que saber a nada.“

“Yesterday I had a very bad experience with the lady who served me in the afternoon, I asked her for something I needed on the table and she didn't even have the decency and kindness to turn to look. I find the customer service very bad, the food was very good but the service was very very bad. I would recommend that you give the lady some customer service tips because it was my first time there and the last time I would visit them.“

“Mauricio, From the moment we sat down, he was all smiles—happy, upbeat, and full of energy that made our whole table feel welcome. He wasn’t just friendly; he was genuinely fun, cracking jokes, keeping the mood light, and making sure everyone (especially the kids!) felt special.

He knew the menu inside and out and gave amazing recommendations—especially for the appetizers. You could tell he really cared about making sure we enjoyed the best of what the place had to offer.

It’s rare to find someone who’s not just doing their job but clearly loves it. Our meal was great, but the service truly made it memorable. If you get the chance, ask for him—you’ll be glad you did!“

“WOW!! Love Love Love this little place. lt’s great! First of all, we've been looking for a good burger place in the Union City, WNY, NB area, and it’s been tough, usually they’re mediocre at best, but not this one.
We walked jn and were warmly greeted. Our server was so sweet! She handed us a menu, which looks like an ipad, and there were so many choices, with pictures of the what the food looks like.
My bf and I ordered 2 burgers because we were in a burger mood. I can say that it definitely wasn’t a disappointment! The burgers were juicy, tasty and big! Definitely the Best burger we’ve had in the area.

The place is small, but so charming with all the decor. And they have a TV screen which shows how all the food is prepared. definitely makes you hungry!

Granted, the burgers were messy but definitely worth it! Besides the fact that they give you utensils.

As we were walking out, we ran into one of the owners, And we had to tell him how much we loved the place and the food.

Parriyas is absolutely a great choice for sandwiches and bowls and the wonderful service!

Thank you, Juan, for introducing yourself and letting us know that you also have restaurant delivery as well as Grub hub. We will absolutely become regulars!

Wheelchair accessibility: Door is right off the street.“

“Great food and amazing coffee“

“Platos de excelente calidad y sabor; el buen servicio y ambiente familiar...SUPER RECOMENDADO.“

“Everything they make is awesome 👍“

“I didn't expect the food to be this delicious, but what I liked the most and why I would return would be the sauces. I have been living in the United States for a while and it is the first Colombian restaurant that has good tartar and good pineapple. If that's what you're looking for, there it is... what a delicious tartar and pineapple“

“You would never expect some really good food from the exterior look. It not a restaurant but a grocery store that sell prep food dishes. Food is made fresh daily. Friendly service. Some minimal seating for quick eats for locals lunch time. Parking is limited in the back. For the price of a processed value meal across the fast food place, I rather get some freshly cooked home style flavorful Latin food.“

“Deliciosa comida y muy buena atención, lo recomiendo.“

¡ Muchos Gracias !“

“I ordered a “mini” paisita and a side of maduros for my partner and I… I had enough food for 2 1/2 meals. The flavors are incredible, the atmosphere and service are friendly, and I will be eating here again. The beans, maduros, steak, chicharrones and sausage are to die for.“

“Great hidden spot for some authentic Colombian food. They have three (3) different dishes of the typical Colombian plate: Bandeja Paisa. Also, it is a BYOB. There is parking onsite. I have not had a bad time here. Everything is delicious and the service is great. Highly recommended.“

“This place serves meals that make you smile with satisfaction. Employees here show remarkable attention to needs. The setting feels right. The kitchen presents food that's both pretty and delicious. I saw consistent quality throughout.“

“Noches de Colombia is such a vibrant and flavorful experience! From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed by lively music, beautiful décor, and a warm, energetic atmosphere. The food is incredible — packed with authentic Colombian flavor, generous portions, and beautifully presented. The empanadas and bandeja paisa are a must! Service is always friendly and fast, and the vibe makes it a great spot whether you’re out with family or on a casual night with friends. Highly recommend if you’re craving Latin flavors and great energy!“

“We, a group of retirees, decided to try out this restaurant for our group's weekend gathering. 19 of us showed up on Sunday. The coffee is excellent. The environment is both homy and comfortable. Everybody loves their Tostones Encanto and Sopa de Mondongo. The service is unbelievable. We don't speak Spanish, but the staff made sure that we got what we want. We will definitely come back.“

“Buena atención, buena música y buena comida.“

“I love this restaurant the food is awesome good service classic Colombian food I love the rice with coconut that is the best rice that I ever had and the soup ajiaco that is the best soup they have. You have to order 20 minutes before you get there it takes a little while but it's worth waiting or call ahead if you're really hungry“

“La mejor comida Colombiana de New Jersey esta en El Carretero 66“

“It's one of the most delicious restaurants I've ever been to.

It's easier to order if you can speak Spanish but the staff speak enough English that it's okay.

The special of the day is fantastic. I recommend the fish.

Parking: Street parking is easiest but you can probably park at the city lot down the street or at the post office if you have to.“

“Former Mi Tierrita restaurant at 252 Main St in Hackensack is the new best place in town to have some great food and quality service. Lorena was very nice and the food was amaizing .not sure about the name of the new restaurant taking place there but can't wait to give a possitive reveiw to this new business.“

“The service from the waitress was horrible she got our order and just left us , no salt on the table , no salsa that comes with the food, no knife for the steak. The guy that did her job was great. The only reason we left a tip it was because the tip is shared. The food is by far the best one I’ve tasted in a while. Very original.“

“Quaint, cozy place, "welcome home/family vibe." The lady taking care of the place (I think she's the owner) is amazing! She took such good care of us and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our time there. The food was very good and the portions are huge, definitely worth it. If you like small places with good food, you gotta stop by. Street parking only but there's enough parking and there's a city parking lot nearby.“

“Very small place, not attractive .didn't eat the meat but rice and beans ok .the price for such a small place .it's not a real restaurant. and they don't speak much English so you have to know Spanish or some Spanish .didn't like it but I had to get something to eat . It's not clean like some of the places I go too .don't like .too small and counter with barstools kinds place“

“It always a great time coming to this location. Vanessa took care of my family this afternoon and she was great, real attentive, memorized our entire order (impressive), and made sure we had everything we needed before we left.

Thanks again and be back soon!“

“I really liked the food and the service. I usually order takeout because I don't have much time to eat in the place but everything is very delicious. If you order the tray paisa it is more expensive than the paisita and the difference is a little more chicharrón and rice from there everything is the same.“

“Fist time here and I found all aspects... Very Good Food, very pleasant setting and very entertaining, I love it, we will be back🇪🇨🥰👍“
