“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 ambient was incredible, amazing food, the crew was very professional and friendly and definitely I love the Colombian people who has so much in common with us Brazilians, good heart people. I will be back many and many times. I need start Spanish class soon jajajaja los chicharon and plantanas oh Dios mio muy buenos…👌🏾🔥😂🇧🇷⚽️🇨🇴💛❤️😬“

“First time visiting for me and my wife, as we walked in we didn’t know where to sit so we went upstairs. However, the server led us to a dimly lit corner despite plenty of tables available so we chose to sit downstairs instead, even though seating there was a bit tight and not very comfortable.

Our server downstairs was attentive and friendly, which we appreciated. That said, the overall atmosphere felt more geared toward guests with reservations for special party celebrations rather than people just for dining in, so we got the impression that we should wrap up and leave once we finished our meal.

The food was decent, and found parking on the street but there’s valet service.“

“Es un restaurante muy bello y se siente como eres parte de la familia 🩵“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Las ollitas Colombianas is an amazing and typical Latin restaurant. It's food is perfectly balanced and very affordable. It's churrasco dish is cooked to perfection, with fresh ingredients and unique Colombian flavors. All the food is absolutely delicious. Also, all appetizers and desserts exceed the expectations. Last but no least, their menu offers a wide variety of options. And, finally, you will delighted with the servers close attention to details, specially Stefany, who is absolutely fantastic. She made sure I had everything I needed. She is very friendly, patient, and truly made me feel welcome. Big shout-out to Stefany“

“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.“

“We were travelling for 2 months and really craved a burger. We read the recommendations for this restaurant and it was walking distance from our accommodation. O.M.Gosh!!! The burgers were amazing!!! The service was fantastic. All the waiter's were so lovely.
We loved it so much, we went back again a few days later.
Also tried the hotdog. That was also unbelievable.
Great job!! Its a bit of a trek to come from Australia, just for a hamburger but....maybe again one day soon.“

“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.“

“Muy buena comida y excelente servicio“

“Excelente restaurante . Excelentes atenciones . La comida Exquisita . Lo recomiendo cien ? por ciento!! Ven y disfrútalo ..“

“A bit disappointed 😔 that they charge me 5 dollars for a side of 3tostonnes because they don’t substitute arepas but keep it in mind they did not serve them and 31 dollars for the Patrona Drink is a bit pricey. Overall the food was very good and service was great.“

“I go to this restaurant at least 2 times per month. Everything on the menu is great. Prices are cheaper than the other restaurants near by. Food is colombian but the owners are mexican but don't be fooled thinking that taste is not the same because it IS THE SAME TASTE OF COLOMBIAN FOOD. They do have customers parking in rear. Don't park across the street in the banks parking lot you will get towed as it happened to a friend of mine“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Rancho Mateo has good food. The service was fair. The environment was great! Live music! However, the patio section, where our table was, needed some shadow or sunlight filter. It was hard to fully enjoy with the sun shining right on our faces.“

“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!“

“it is nice, it can be loud but be aware. Although the menu says they will charge an 18 or 20% tip automatically to a party of 4 and higher, they still had it to be party of 2 automatically. if you don't realize that then they hand you the receipt with the tip line blank, hoping you had another 20% percent I think this thief and deceptive.“

“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!“

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

“My co-worker and I had lunch here. We loved it. We had a bandeja paisa. We ordered the small one. It was big. We loved Paula. She was great. Friendly and very patient with my friend who doesn't speak Spanish. Great atmosphere and great service. I will definitely come back here when I am in town again.“
