Colombian Restaurants near Cliffside Park, NJ

“Excelente atención y muy buen sazón“

“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!

The vibes are unmatched, with great music and entertainment that always makes the night extra fun. The staff is super friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming whether you’re with friends or family. A true gem in Astoria, Queens—can’t wait to come back again and again!“

“Great taste of Colombian Cuisine, I love the Tamal, great service.“

“awesome food... great service.“

“During my time in Kingston last year, I enjoyed a lot of the menu options such as the fruit salads (especially the ones with chocolate in it). I especially enjoyed the banana crepe, velvet crepe, chicken crepe, garlic beef crepe, and the chocolavo drink. All the options were quite unique and worth the price. It's too bad this place is closed though. I really wish there was a restaurant in my current area that is at least remotely similar to Fruit Festival.“

“personal, muy atento, buen servicio,“

Cada bocado me transportó a las calles de Colombia y saboreé cada delicioso momento.“

“What an awesome meal! We ordered two arepas, both GF, and maduros. Beautiful space. Impeccable service. They gave us a choclo with cheese and an aperitif on the house. We’ll be back.“

“Palenque is my favorite Colombian restaurant in the city. At first, it was hard to find one that, as a Colombian, truly tasted like food from our homeland — but Palenque delivers. The arroz con pollo and bandeja paisa are 10/10 in terms of flavor. The appetizers are also excellent, and the drinks taste just like in Colombia. The service is very good. Highly recommended.“

“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“

“One of my favorite Colombian restaurants in Jackson Heights. Know there are multiple locations and they all are consistent. Wait staff is always helpful and the service is super fast. Some of the most traditional dishes and other seafood can be found here and I promise you won’t be disappointed. Pictured is the fried red snapper (Pargo). It’s one of my favorites and this place does this fry just right. Can’t wait to go back!“
