Colombian Restaurants near Clifton, NJ

“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!“

“The place is nice, it's a shame it's not a restaurant ?, but OK we came to leave a great comment because it deserves it, it's a nice and clean place, you have many souvenirs from Colombia at a good price in addition to all the things they sell pre-cooked (arepas, empanadas, pandebonos, salads, arroz de leche, chili, hogao) all of that is great ?the chorizo ​​is crazy, made by its owner, it is a HIT, they sell it to eat at the moment and pre-cooked and the better the better and a 10 more to the good comments is the LECHONA really is spectacular, the flavor, fatty, all the ingredients are just right and the skin is super crunchy, they informed us that they prepare it on Saturdays at noon, so you know...and They also make it for special dates in trays of 10 and 20 servings.
We are happy to have visited them and enjoyed the food and the excellent service of their employees.
Listen to how crunchy the pig's skin is and the quantity and prices are super reasonable, congratulations guys, you do it very well.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I've been coming here since 2005. I must say since the owners nephew came, he's kicked-up the menu and decor. The food was always good but the nephew made some great changes. I love the breakfast here! The servers Ana and Madelyn are very polite, friendly and always have a great attitude. I was surprised the other day when I mentioned it was our wedding anniversary, they surprised us with a cake and sparkling candle!!🕯
The food is always delicious!“

“If you’re craving authentic Colombian flavors, PARCEROS is a must-visit! The food is absolutely delicious — from the perfectly seasoned empanadas to the mouthwatering bandeja paisa, every dish feels like a taste of home. The portions are generous, the ingredients fresh, and the presentation is on point.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff treats you like family — friendly, attentive, and always smiling. You can tell they take real pride in what they serve. Whether you’re Colombian or just a fan of Latin cuisine, this spot hits the mark.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for real-deal Colombian comfort food in a cozy, upbeat setting. ¡Buen provecho!“

“Late post:

We went on a February weekday (Wednesday Lunch time) and the place was clean, well decorated for Valentine's. There was a good crowd and I can see that the staff were all busy doing something work related. Our waiter was attentive and although his English was limited , he still made an attempt. The food was good- Bandeja de Paisa never disappoints. I like how this dish is consistent whether I eat it at their Hackensack location or Englewood location. For the first time I tried their calamari. It was good and I like the sweet chili sauce (an homage to my Asian routes haha). Overall a good place to eat!“

“Muy buena comida y excelente servicio“

“They have the best soup! Please please please keep this soup just the way it is!!!

I will buy this soup even if I was sick!!! Omg please keep this soup love love it !!!! I don't even eat soup outside cause t taste so digesting and it's always so watery but not this soup I give this soup a 10 out of 10!! A must try!“

“Wow. Just went to this place. It was delicious. Nice people and service. Clean. I had the Colombian eggs with Chicharron and rice. Sooooo good!!! I’ll be back.“

“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.“

“Great place and staff!!! Love it!“

“I loved my first time there Not only is it good but priced nicely Service was great and done with a smile High recommendations“

“I came in from out of town and wanted to try something new to eat. I chose Seba’s and I had such great food and service! Being from northern WI, I had no clue what to get, but Gina helped me put together a lunch plate of many delicious foods from the steam table. The lentils, chicken, yuca, ensalada de papa and the beef were great! The Tres leche is The service and kindness made it all the better.“

“We had a lovely meal here for breakfast. They have coffee and a good breakfast and lunch selection with a variety of pastries. Our pastry was a bit dry though. The service is friendly and welcoming and the food is fresh and hot! We would definitely come back here again.“

“(Translated by Google) The lunch is very good, the place is very clean and the staff is extraordinary and Cira is based on a mask and disinfection on the mandatory hands, even if they are vaccinated to avoid new contagion.(Original)Muy bueno el almuerzo el lugar es muy limpio y el personal estraordinario y se base Cira mascarilla y desinfección en las mano obligatoria aun estén vacunado para evitar nuevo contagio“

“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.“

“Excelente bakery y buen ambiente“

“Enjoyed my full course meal today! We had a party of 5 people coming from CT and NY. We were greeted well, our hostess was wonderful and the manager was very nice and attentive. The valet was perfect. I have a Chevy Tahoe, not having to worry about parking my truck was a plus for me. We had a spectacular birthday celebration. The food was delicious! We will be back soon! Thank you all for the good time! ☺️“

“We recently ordered catering from Noches De Colombia for a corporate event with 160 attendees, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and it was clear that great care was taken in its preparation. The team arrived right on time, and their service was exceptional throughout the event. We would definitely consider using Noches De Colombia again for future events. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

“The quality of the food is very good, the options that they give you are very extended,
The employees are very respectful and they are in a good mood

Kid-friendliness: It has a very good environment for kids, it has games and the employees are very respectful. Additionally the food is very good“

“Every detail from lighting to music works well. Noches de Colombia combines small size with cleanliness and warmth. The team combines friendliness with helpfulness, and food comes without delay. The food offers completely original taste sensations. I'm absolutely in LOVE with everything about this place!“

“Comida deliciosa y atención es excelente“

“I randomly walked by this place and decided to stop in. I ordered the Salpicón. It was my first time trying it and it was really good. In addition to my drink being good, the workers were really nice too. I will be back to try some of their other desserts. I would highly recommend.“

“Soy peruano y fui a desayunar con un amigo Humberto Perea , la comida muy buena igual que la atencion . El ambiente es muy bueno y sobre todo muy buena musica .“

“Great food and amazing coffee“

“Went on a Tuesday night. There's limited parking in the back but being on a corner, the access is uncomplicated. Plenty of outdoor seating, however not available on this night. Inside was comfortable and relaxing. I imagine it can get lively towards the weekend.
I ordered the whole fried snapper with salad, rice and beans. Excellent. Not overcooked, the fish was juicy and crispy, the way it should be.
Would definitely order again.“

“Very inviting warm space! Kind workers, great atmosphere and delicious coffee! I got a dulce de leche iced coffee and it was some of the best coffee ive had in some time. Highly recommend you check this place out — right in the heart of Rutherford“

“I go to the place frequently, it is good, good food and excellent service. I can't give it 5 stars for two fundamental reasons, the first is a suggestion, don't order a tray paisa because it doesn't have arepa or avocado, avocado is fine, but without arepa it's unforgivable and it's not that it's a spectacular dish, better try others things that are very good. The second is that the parking lot is a nightmare, I would like to go more often but unfortunately when we go and there is nowhere to park we have to leave, we don't live nearby so if you can it is better to walk, for us it is impossible, we have lost the trip there just because we can't park. I recommend the place with complete confidence.“

“Excelente comida y atención!“

“i love their food and service. all the plates i have tried have been delicious. Bandeja paisa, the churrasco and the toatones are amazing. everything is fresh and delicious! totally recommend“
