I ordered an arepa stuffed with shrimp. And it was truly the worst arepa I could have ordered. Just the arepa with the half-cooked shrimp, literally. I had never had an arepa “filled with only shrimp” since the cheese was extra $$$. I ended up returning that thing and they still charged me. Terrible service. I do not recommend it.

Localizado en Elizabeth New Jersey , La cantera es uno de los unicos restaurantes en Nueva Jersey que si saben como cocinar un propio consomé. El ambiente del restaurant es plano y e un poco similar a un restaurant en Colombia. Hay partidos de futbol que se enseñan en la television, como por ejemplo partidos de la liga colombiana , o partidos internacionales que tienen que invulucrar la selección de Colombia. Yo le daría 4 estrellas de 5. Los trabajadores del restaurant son muy humildes y cariñosos. Se conoce también la comida del menu entonces ellos te podrían sugerir un buen plato para comer. Yo ha regresado muchos veces a este restaurant , no lo puedo dejar en empoza , lol. Yo recomendaría este comida a mucha gente latina porque es un lugar donde tu puedes probar algo nuevo y autentico , de un diferente cultura. MI experiencia fue autentica en este restaurant .

It was a great place to grab a quick traditional colombian meal.What is special about this place is the frozen fruit smoothie with condensed sweet milk.....a must have on a hot day...also as a cool dessert.

Every time I go there I get greeting in Spanish what people don't know how to speak English. I buy Empanadas and it had no taste and on top of that I was with my girlfriend and in front of me a Columbia customer gets the same thing 5 empanadas at a cheaper price than they charge me.They charged him$7.50 and they charge me$10.25 here we go again. How I know this my girlfriend is Colombian she told me when we got home. She was afraid I was going to do something to them. don't spend your money on them. they are racist

YES YES YES!!! Top Colombian restaurant in Elizabeth. I will say that a tip I learned is to either eat at the restaurant because the food is fresh, obviously, or if you're ordering take out, pick up your food as fast as you can lol. Because the fresher the food the better it taste. When the food is cold it no longer has any flavor. The fires here are so crunchy and crispy. Highly recommend!

La cantera has amazing food, my favorite is the chicken light soup or (consomé) is delicious, it comes with a portion of white rice, also the arepas rellenas, with pork belly, (chicharrón) amazing stuff. They have natural juices and shakes also, and many other platters that are so good
