“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.“

“We recently visited Oh Calamares in Kearny, NJ, and the food is still absolutely excellent. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and authentic.

We had the lomo saltado, which was delicious and perfectly cooked, and the shrimp chupe, which was rich, comforting, and full of amazing seafood flavor. Both dishes were outstanding.

That said, we couldn’t help but notice that the restaurant seemed a bit less busy than before. Also, they only had one server working, which could definitely slow down the ordering process and even delay getting the check at the end.

Even with that, the experience was still very positive, and the quality of the food remains top-notch. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and would absolutely recommend it.“

“I went here two weeks ago, very good food, I enjoyed my steak a lot, but there are couple things that I will point out, the music definitely must be more loud, you could barely hear anything it created the weird atmosphere since I could hear all what others around me are talking about, second thing they should inform you that the food will take a while go get ready, it definitely was worth it but just the server should be aware to inform us that it will be an hour wait for the food, also you can bring your own bottle of wine which is great!“

“Great food, great service!“

“Awesome first time here! Chef Jason and staff were extremely helpful. I tried their Lomo Saltado bowl. He gave me a sample of their pulled pork, carne asada, and chicken. They are slow cooked for a few hours. Everything was delicious and top tier! I will be coming back for sure!!!“

“I don’t usually write reviews, but this place truly deserves it.

From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was vibrant, warm, and full of life—it instantly brought me back to Colombia. The energy, the music, the vibe… everything felt authentic and welcoming.

The food was absolutely incredible. This isn’t just your typical spot—it’s a true gastrobar experience, with delicious Colombian flavors elevated in such a creative and flavorful way. Every dish was packed with taste, perfectly balanced, and clearly made with care. You can tell there’s passion behind the menu.

And the service? Top-tier. Mauricio, our server, was amazing—attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. It’s rare to find service that genuinely stands out like that.

Overall, I loved everything about this place. If you’re looking for a spot that brings together great atmosphere, incredible food, and outstanding service, this is it. I’ll definitely be back—and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a true taste of Colombia with a modern twist. 🇨🇴✨“

“great pupusas delicious shakes“

“Drove by this place the other day and decided to check it out today, I was not disappointed. I had the rabo (ox tails) with arroz con gandules (rice and pigeon peas) along with a green salad with avocado and a chicken soup that slaps. The rabo was delicious, I had them pour a little of the sauce on the rice and it was incredible. The portions were perfect for what the prices are like today. I don’t know how long this place has been around but it’ll definitely be a go to spot for me if I want some good Latin food.“

“buena atención y menú bariado“

“Best spot in the food court. Deserves its own spot tbh.

I love the Cuban sandwich here and the owner makes the mustard himself too apparently! Great w Yuca fries (comes w white sauce) and Plantains.

The Pernil Combo was great as well. Tender pull-apart pork, paired with Hot sauce (self-serve)

The only thing is that the menu looks slightly overwhelming without many pictures but don't let that discourage you“

“The food was excellent You deserve a five star. Everything was perfect. I will be coming back again. I will be posting about this on Facebook. This place is the bomb.“

“Came in for lunch and our server Paola was the sweetest. She made me the most delicious Coconut Mojito. Food was delicious, fresh and perfectly seasoned.
I highly recommend if you want Colombian Food or soup this place will suffice.

Vegetarian options: As per your request

Parking: There’s parking in the back of the location

Kid-friendliness: Yes very family oriented“

“I called this morning at 6am to inquire how long it would take them to make 3 dozen empanadas, for a work event, they said ten mi utes! They saved my day. The empanadas were a hit at work! They were delicious! I bought chicken, beef and cheese! They’re affordable too! Gracias! 🙏🏽 I’ll be buying from here again.“

“The best chicken 🍗 ever, ever“

It’s simple, cozy, and welcoming. proof that you don’t need fancy to feel good and eat well. I’m grateful to have this restaurant in the community.“

“Amazing! First time here, first time eating Ecuadorian food and everything got an A+. From the rice to the soup to the breading on seafood… was not expecting it to be that good. Service was also great, our server was thorough and patient when explaining every dish. Will definitely come back!“

“Melhor lanche brasileiro da região“

“My husband and I live right down the street and always pass this place when driving home. We decided this morning to pop in. I love that's it's most likely family owned as we own a family owned business also. We love to give our business to small local businesses. We ordered the chicken and rice and beans and it was well seasoned and cooked. Very tasty. We will definitely be back to try another item off the menu.“

“Great Ecuadorian traditional food. Staff is great. Love going here and will continue. Highly recommend z“

“Excelente lugar para pasar entre amigos y familia“

“I’m Guatemalan and rarely get to eat and enjoy the yummy dishes from guatemala and I’ve heard a lot about this place , my cousin took me! And omg
We
Had the breakfast with the carne asada ! In love!! I’m so ready to go more often and try out more
Of the other dishes! 😋“

“Eating right now, and my soul is happy, the taste is amazing. Very well seasoned the portions are pretty big definitely ordering again. Was going to get four stars because the food is a little cold but it is below 21° outside so. The food is too good delicious“

“Authentic Dominican food, you get a lot of food for the value, and the staff is lovely and very helpful. There is a big selection of food options. We liked everything we had, I especially liked the avocado salad.

They have all the available food on display, cafeteria style, but they serve at the tables and the food is hot when it arrives. They have plenty of tables and free parking in front.“

“Since the most rated diners were like a 30 minute walk from Hoboken’s train station I would definitely recommend this place if you need something quick and nearby. I love Hispanic food, but this food was perfect! I got their breakfast French toast and my sister got their pancakes. I swear these typical sweet/bread type breakfast foods are not my thing yet the way they made them tasted so different and flavorful, for me this was unique. There Cuban empanadas are very savory, especially with the sauces they provide. My only critique is that lemonade, as it’s very bitter bc it had lime and it’s not sweet at all. The lemonade is $7.30 with card, and my meal was $9.99. Our server was very sweet, I would recommend coming here to have sweet/savory options met here. Also to me breakfast here is very affordable because with me and my sisters (3 people) our bill came to $56 with card, so most places in Hoboken are pricey but this place can offer what you need at an affordable price.“

“Staying at a hotel 2 minutes walk away from this great little gem of a restaurant!

Had a tasty breakfast with eggs, home fries and toast along with their brewed coffee.

Fast and very pleasant service and oodles of character/atmosphere coupled with low prices. Good selection of American and Latin American items on the menu along with daily specials featuring the latter cuisine.

Highly recommended for those that like little diner-type establishments!“

“that you support her business she's a black entrepreneur young lady that's driving for greatness and her food is delicious“

“I have been coming here for a awhile. Definitely will keep going back.“
