“Went for the first time today, and let it be known we will be back. Saw an ad for their "El Gringo" and had to try it, it was amazing! Taylor Ham, Egg and Cheese piled high on a soft roll! Would easily get again, wife and son both loved theirs! Ordered some pork belly as well, nice and crispy, full of flavor. The gentleman working was very friendly and offered all the sauces if we needed any, he was excellent. The venue is well lit and had a "home-y" feel to it. We will easily be back, it is walking distance for us, happy to have them in town. Added some pictures below of the food!“

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

“This is a wonderful restaurant with a very homely atmosphere. The server was very nice and caring. We had the set lunch menu. The chicken lentil soup was full of flavor and love, as if my grandmother made it. The main dishes - ribs with rice and spaghetti for my husband and cordon blue with rice and beans for me - were also absolutely delicious! We hope this place will continue to grow and thrive!“

“I really like Colombian food. In Elizabeth there are several Colombian restaurants, but sometimes I don't find the food flavorful. Here at Las Ollitas Colombianas, I liked the flavor; the seasoning was very good, the beans were delicious, and the guacamole with chicharron was also very good.
The waitresses were friendly, the only thing they didn't do was come by our table halfway through to check if everything was okay Del resto lo recomiendo!“

“Deliciosa comida y atención excelente mi sitio especial para sentirme cómo en casa“

“Great experience with the friendly staff behind the counter. They were super helpful and helped me in deciding on my order. I ordered the carne asada platter with rice and beans. The food was pretty good, although the steak could have been better. Overall, it was still enjoyable. Plus, the prices were very reasonable.“

“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.“

“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“

“This restaurant took me to Colombia! Beautiful decor, clean, spacious and homie. The food is delish , the coffee is a must and can’t leave without drinking a maracuya juice and pan de bono. The food fresh, beautifully presented and plentiful. Been back 3 times.!“

“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.“

“I visited this location last weekend, I enjoyed every part of it, the food was great, the service was excellent, my waitress was Kattya, she is great, so patient, kind and friendly it was a busy day but she was very helpful I really liked my visit and I will go again for the atmosphere“

“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.“

“buen lugar buena atención se pasa super bien 👍“

My new favorite salad with skirt steak and shrimp was delicious. Empanadas were outstanding with the perfect (aji) hot sauce. My wife and daughter totally enjoyed their traditional Bandeja Paisas. I will continue to enjoy this remarkable establishment.“

“Después de haber visitado muchos restaurantes me quedo con este muy rica la comida, la atención muy buena, quede encantada 🤩“

“Excelente todo“

“First time coming here and the vibes are amazing. The customer service and the music is great for sure. Got a Daddy Yankee yo and my family got 2 Malumas. Both taste and look amazing. I also got a Elote with a Picada. The food was outstanding overall this place is a must come to for sure. I’ll be here again with the family.“

“Skirt steak med rare w a delicious chimichurri sauce, decent white rice. Had maracuyá and it was good not too sweet. A lil bit of a language barrier but server was nice. Had grilled salmon and that’s where I deducted the star it was plain with no seasoning - atleast none I could taste and the edges where very hard. Tip is included in the check- it was two of us and a baby.“

“It is so beautiful, the place makes you feel so familiar, the music, the atmosphere and the food is very good, it keeps the Latin flavor and the customer service girls are very warm and friendly. I will definitely return whenever I find myself in Harrison. Very satisfied and happy, it is very difficult to find a place in this country that makes you feel at home.“

“Excellent appetizers, loved the Yuca Fries in particular. For entree, I tried the skirt steak. Absolutely delicious and tender. Dessert was a waffle with ice cream, also tasty. Atmosphere is a bit noisy for me but otherwise top notch for food, service and prices.“

“Lived in Kearny for quite some time but only went here a few times and honestly I wasn’t crazy about the food. Not that it was bad but I always always always ordered the empanadas & for some reason, the inside was always cold. I ordered other food & it was good. But it’s a great atmosphere & never seen problems or fights, cosas asi but the only complaint I definitely will say is the music. I absolutely love when bars have the music videos up or videos of live shows, but stop playing boleros at a bar. People are drinking. Wanting to have fun. Playing boleros makes people wanna kill themselves lolol. It’s super depressing. Even though the songs are great but not for a bar. Consider doing a digital jukebox where the customers pick strictly, la musica latina and you’ll most likely definitely get a bigger clientele. I know I would waste my money on it lol. But would 110% go back. Shiiiii….. I just went tonight! LoLoL. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼“
