Popular. The Tolimense Tamale, a paisa arepa (small corn white arepa), one slide of Colombian cheese and a freshly baked mozzarella bread.

Delicious combination of our Tolimense Tamal and Tolimense Lechona, popular in our beautiful Colombia.

Colombian style breakfast (Try it!)
Lechona Tolimense
Is one of the most complicated dishes to make in Colombian cuisine, but for us, it's a cinch. We have been making these dishes for more than 30 years, so feel free to savor the true flavor. Our suckling pig has marinated pulled pork, yellow peas, rice, and our secret ingredients!
Tamal Tolimense
Popular. The Tolimense Tamale is a homemade product made of pork ribs, chicken, pork rinds, cooked egg, potato, carrot, and dough made up of rice, cornmeal, and yellow peas. The Tolimense tamale is one of the most difficult dishes to recreate in Colombian cuisine, we have been making Tolimense tamales for more than 30 years, and we love doing it.
Tamal Tolimense with Arepa
The Tolimense Tamale with arepa paisa (small corn white arepa).

Create your own Colombian eggs, eggs with pericos (scrambled eggs with scallions with tomatoes), fried eggs, and boiled eggs. Accompanied by arepa, bread or cheese.
Changua Santafereña
It is a soup made mainly with broth and milk, eggs, onion, salt, and cilantro.

Bakery
Arepas De Queso
The cheese arepa is grilled and is mainly made of corn and cheese. With a somewhat sandy and salty style. In general, the arepa is accompanied by chocolate, aguapanela, or breakfast. But for us Colombians, there is no time or date to eat a delicious arepa.

Food was excellent. That’s probably why it was so crowded. Good for them! They could definitely use some more space so with continued success, they might be able to expand? Service was very fast. My hot chocolate had a special little touch of cinnamon and was delicious with my queso fresco. My unique dish came wrapped in a banana leaf and had chicken, egg, and ribs inside along with a other goodies. Will definitely return to get the soup I kept seeing people order.

I ate here and was really impressed.
The tamales are authentic Colombian style, homemade and full of flavor.
The masa is soft and well seasoned, the meats are tender, and everything is wrapped perfectly. As soon as you open it, the aroma tells you it’s the real deal. You can truly taste the tradition and care in every bite.
If you’re in New Jersey and looking for real Colombian tamales, this place is absolutely worth it.
I would definitely...

Omg the food here is delicious. We went searching for a Columbian bakery near our current location at the time because we wanted Columbian empanadas. We found this place and are so happy we did. The empanadas were really good, but we also bought this cheese bread, arepa, and tamale. The tamale was huge and good. But the best thing had to be the arepa! It was so amazingly delicious that my only regret was haven bought only 1! I don't typically care for arepa much. I've...
