“I was reminded of exactly why I love this café when picking up some pastries today:• The coffee is delicious and everything is made with attention and care.• The décor and music make me smile every time I walk in. (When is the last time you can say that about any chain eatery?)• The women who own and operate the café are super friendly, always greet you with a smile and are clearly very competent at running a business. (Did I mention everything is spotless?)I hope you support this family business – I know I will.“

I was so pleased to come here and I recommend you to come here. We came all the way from NY and definitely worth the trip. Try the "Bandeja Paisa" it's huge plate! 2 ppl eat from that! And happy tummy ?“
“All their dishes are delicious, the place is very nice, the service is very good, highly recommended, what I found curious is that they charge for the sauces, if you ask for more sauces, for example if you order more pink sauce or pineapple, etc., they charge you an additional amount for each one !!!“

I asked why the black color, was told bec made of black corn. I read colored with natural extracts too. Gluten-free. Have to try the other ones. Only a small table seating outside.“

“The granny apple fresh juice is amazing, as well as the gluten free beef empanada and the gluten free chicken+cheese empanada (they are made with corn) each comes with a Verde green sauce which is very flavorful.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options“
“This place looks LOVELY! I used to live a block away from them over a year ago so I would pass by pretty frequently after work to get some alfajores, pan de bono or chicken and cheese buns -and their pastries were always very very good ?Super clean and cozy with many outdoor seats, perfect for summer - not really that many seats indoor thoughI passed by again a couple of days ago and their alfajores have changed quite a bit ? not really a fan of the new version BUT their pan de bono was delicious!They now have more pastry options (like pan de bono with guava filling ? - super tasty by the way)I would definitely love to return another time to grab some breakfast and coffee - and try some of their latest menu additions“

“Bogota Latin Bistro was a fantastic experience! The ajiaco and skirt steak bandeja were delicious, and the host, Maria, was incredibly friendly. They provided crayons and toys to keep my daughter entertained, and the music created a fun atmosphere. To top it all off, they surprised us with a delicious tres leche dessert. Highly recommend this restaurant!“
“Very good service, the place is very nice to share with family and friends, the food is very good, I would recommend Chupitos to all my friends in the US and anywhere in the world. Nicolás' service was very good, attentive to our order and very friendly.Parking: There is good parking space“
“Delicious. My wife and I happened to stop on this street and spotted Don Ricky's Bakery. A small and neatly maintained bakery that specializes in some of the authentic Colombian delicacies. The yucca bread is always warm and fresh. Delicious. The Colombian coffee was also delicious!!!!“
“OMG The empanadas were absolutely delicious. I order shredded chicken. They're fried and made of what we call Hojaldre.The empanadas take like 5 or 7 minutes to get prepared it's really fresh but you have to wait.The only little thing I didn't like was that I had to pay almost 1 dollar for a tiny little extra container of their delicious green sauce.It.was so GOOD! 100% RECOMMENDED.They have a bunch of different kindsIt was worth the $5“
“I love how M2ice makes the juices, they are natural and in my opinion they are the best, I would give them 100 stars if I could, but I know there are only 5, good seo tea, the best, and I hope you stay with us, keep creating the best juices and cool things you know. make thanks M2ICE MAY God bless your hands.“
“My family dinned there to celebrate my son who passed birthday as it was his favorite place. Our waiter Jesus made our experience exceptional. The food was great the manager was accommodating and it’s been our eight year celebrating. The food is delicious and plenty full. ???“
“This is a Mom & Pop local Columbian small restaurant. I came for lunch and everything was fresh from the chicken soup to the empanadas and the chicken rice with beet salad . The rice pudding is to die for and I highly recommend coming here .It is very simple place nothing fancy just a local place in Lodi NJ but the food is A +++ . Service is great too! I will be trying the breakfast soon too!“
“The employees were friendly and it seemed like they have regulars seeing as they knew people's names. The food didn't take long and it was steamy which made it feel more like home cooked meal. I ordered an orange and carrots juice, and I was wondering if it was going to be freshly squeezed or concentrated and to my surprise it was freshly squeezed right in front of us, which made it even better. The empanada wasn't anything I expected which was good. It was a cheese and guayaba empanada and the saltiness and sweetness was a great combination. I would definitely come here again once I'm in the area!“
“Honestly, given the prices on the menu and how cheap things were (considering inflation and everything else), I wasn't expecting much. Boy, was I wrong!! The chicken was hot, the rice was fluffy, And the beans were soft, just like they should be. The salsa verde was a little bland and tasted like water blended with just hot peppers if you ask me. It's a heavy dish and I'm used to having some kind of pickled side vegetables as a Korean (like cultido?) but I realize this isn't always the standard for some cuisines. Anyway, all of what I ate for $9 was too good. I'll be coming back as long as the establishment continues to fight the status quo of this ever spiraling country.“
“(Translated by Google) I don't know if the name is the same when you call the name of the restaurant it sounds different. Although a little expensive, the food was super tasty ☺️(Original)No se si el nombre sea el mismo cuando uno llama el nombre del restaurante suena diferente Aunque un poco caro la comida fue super rica ☺️“
“My perfect empanadas place if you are looking for a thin and crunchy one. For now I only taste the empanadas but the pizzas look amazing ?If you want to try the best Venezuelan empanadas, this is the perfect place. Thin and crispy dough, it became my favorite empanada place.“
“Please someone explain to me why in a rib or sancocho broth the rib is so hard, very difficult to chew and also why that meat is red on the outside and dark on the inside? This is the second time I've noticed that peculiarity in the last two weeks. In my case, I don't like it at all. Besides, it wasn't like that before.2024: You can dismiss what Rancho Mateo has written in the past as the best Colombian gastronomic experience in all of NJ-NY“
“This place is always quite good. Actually, what really jumps at you is the service. Fast, and extremely friendly. The food is consistently good while nothing re-invents the wheel. Traditional Colombian dishes generously served and tasty. My favorite, whenever talking Colombian, is the bandeja paisa. White rice topped w 2 fried eggs, escorted by chicharron (fried pork rind), chorizo, avocado, maduros (sweet plantain), and steak. Nothing wrong with that. Daily specials are good as well, and deflect a slightly overpriced menu. Soups are done well and their sandwiches are reliable.“
“I've been here several times I like to food and drink atmosphere here. I had a chicken sauté today but something wrong with chicken but it's fine. The manager Raul is a great person he come to apologize from me he's so professional and also bartender Helen is she's so sweetheart thank you guys I appreciate it.“
“Amazing service . I placed the order by phone from Miami , they were so willing to assist me and delivery to my son’s workplace ! Everything on time . Empanadas and ajicito?you made everybody happy at IKEA ? Great service ! Super recommend!“

“First time visiting this Colombian food place, we got to have breakfast with their incredible empanadas, scrambled eggs and delicious juices. We were very satisfied. It didn't seem expensive compared to other places in New York where I currently live. Their empanadas were the best thing to highlight, a clean place. friendly and timely attention recommended I would return for their lunches that looked delicious“
“I order seafood rice, my husband order steak, and a friend order a steak as well all with side items. We also order 4 mojitos and 3 margaritas all together. The staff was very polite and came back to check on us. The food was delicious and cooked well. Seafood was to my liking. The margaritas and mojitos were great. The vibe was great and the music really set the mood. I will be coming back in the future. :)“
“Incredibly tasty for how cheap it was. Really really happy to have found this place. Highly recommend the chimichurri steak sandwich, and the cubano was quality as well!Really can’t beat it, especially in this neighborhood. Ice cold corona!!!!!“
“There weren't many drinks to choose from but the food was decent. I really enjoyed the soup and the food I ordered(no idea what it's called). I didn't eat the meat(missing from the picture) though because it looked a bit weird. The customer service was great and the waitress was pretty friendly! The bathroom is very small but clean and had soap and paper towels available. I would definitely go back to try other dishes.“
“Has to be hands down the best Colombian food I have had! So I have been going to this restaurant for a few years now and it has never disappointed! The food, staff and atmosphere is top notch. For the cost of the food compared to how it tastes and quantity, you cannot go wrong! It's so good! The ambience is amazing, gives you traditional Colombian vibes and they offer live music on Friday, Saturday and Sundays! They feature different soup each day and they are all delicious! Highly recommend!“
“As a cheese lover this is the ONLY place I can vouch for that has the BEST cheese empanadas. They don't skimp on cheese like other places so the empanadas are filled with cheese. The best & juiciest cheese empanadas I've ever tasted. I've also tried their chicken empanadas several times but they were overly dry so I stay away from those. The meat empanadas though, are amazing and filled with beef and potato. The Chorizo is really good as well. This has been my go to place for a quick bite for a while. Since they started accepting apple pay and card payments I couldnt be happier. A+ for the nice ladies who work behind the counter.“
“My favorite bakery, the bread is fresh and delicious. The service is phenomenal. I like the way they make breakfasts, the huevos pericos are a delight! Even Tolimense tamales are a heavenly delicacy. It also has tamales Vallunos ! And I can say that here is the best pandebono, what a delicious bread!“
“Everything tastes fresh and made to order. I have eaten here several times and it really does remind you of an authentic Colombian atmosphere with the right flavors. From the cheesy tasting buñuelos crisp and crunchy outside to the great tasting filling of the empanadas to their great lunch specials that are changed daily. Good job guys!“
“This place is great ! Customer service is wonderful and the food is delicious , they have a lot of different variety in their menu.. bakery is delicious and fresh all the time.. I would recommend this place if you want to enjoy and eat real Colombian food this is the place to go …“
“I like to eat here. The bread and coffee are delicious! They should improve the way the waiter serves customers. When I was at this restaurant, I had chicharrón, and it was almost cold. Another dish I had was delicious, but it presentation was not good.“
“This place was fabulous. They came many time to make sure everything was satisfactory, we talk to them and told them last week was our birthday, after the meal they bought us a cake and sang happy birthday to us, they all were beautiful people, I give them a 10 for their services and courtesy.“
“I’ve visited various Noches de Colombia across Long Island, Connecticut, Upstate NY, and here in New Jersey, and it’s clear that this specific location stands head and shoulders above the rest in every category. The food is not only delicious but also served in very generous portions, offering great value as the prices are quite reasonable compared to other locations. The bakery consistently impresses with its quality and variety. Furthermore, the service is exemplary, contributing to an overall exceptional dining experience.What sets this location apart for me, personally, is their flexibility and customer-first attitude regarding meal customization. Unlike other establishments that often respond with a regretful, “I’m sorry, that’s how the platter comes, and no substitutions are allowed,” here, they go out of their way to accommodate requests for different side options. This willingness to ensure customer satisfaction by offering alternatives truly enhances the dining experience, making it a standout choice for me.“
