“If you’re craving authentic Colombian flavors, PARCEROS is a must-visit! The food is absolutely delicious — from the perfectly seasoned empanadas to the mouthwatering bandeja paisa, every dish feels like a taste of home. The portions are generous, the ingredients fresh, and the presentation is on point.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff treats you like family — friendly, attentive, and always smiling. You can tell they take real pride in what they serve. Whether you’re Colombian or just a fan of Latin cuisine, this spot hits the mark.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for real-deal Colombian comfort food in a cozy, upbeat setting. ¡Buen provecho!“

“I loved my first time there Not only is it good but priced nicely Service was great and done with a smile High recommendations“

“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.“

“I was in the mood for a Mangonada and not too familiar with the area since we moved to Bayonne a year ago. We were out driving and I googled mangonada and came across M2ICE. They did not DISAPPOINT! Everything was absolutely incredible. The owners were also very welcoming and explained the different options and gave suggestions. We will be back.“

“This place is special! If you know Colombian food then this is the place for you to go! Everything we had from the coffee to the soup was perfectly seasoned and cooked! Service was friendly and professional! The food came out in great time! The restaurant was clean and well decorated. We tried Colombian food in Miami, DC, NY, and Boston and although they were all great this place takes the cake! When we come back to NJ this is the number one place we will come back to!“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious! The flavors reminded me of comforting, homemade cuisine. Honestly, I would’ve eaten twice as much if I had more stomachs 😂 the servers working there were very sweet as well and you can tell the owner is proud of their business!“

“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.!“

“Great place and staff!!! Love it!“

“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.“

“SUPER RICO, EXCELENTE SERVICIO. LUGAR MUY BONITO, LIMPIO, AMBIENTE TRANQUILO MUCHAS GRACIAS .“

“Late post:

We went on a February weekday (Wednesday Lunch time) and the place was clean, well decorated for Valentine's. There was a good crowd and I can see that the staff were all busy doing something work related. Our waiter was attentive and although his English was limited , he still made an attempt. The food was good- Bandeja de Paisa never disappoints. I like how this dish is consistent whether I eat it at their Hackensack location or Englewood location. For the first time I tried their calamari. It was good and I like the sweet chili sauce (an homage to my Asian routes haha). Overall a good place to eat!“

“I randomly walked by this place and decided to stop in. I ordered the Salpicón. It was my first time trying it and it was really good. In addition to my drink being good, the workers were really nice too. I will be back to try some of their other desserts. I would highly recommend.“

“Excelente bakery y buen ambiente“

“Great food and amazing coffee“

“(Translated by Google) The lunch is very good, the place is very clean and the staff is extraordinary and Cira is based on a mask and disinfection on the mandatory hands, even if they are vaccinated to avoid new contagion.(Original)Muy bueno el almuerzo el lugar es muy limpio y el personal estraordinario y se base Cira mascarilla y desinfección en las mano obligatoria aun estén vacunado para evitar nuevo contagio“

“Good service delicious food“

“The food was delicious 😋 and they give you a lot I definitely recommend ❤️“

“Great friendly coffee shop in Rutherford - variety of pastries and coffees - my go to place since moving here.“

“Excelente comida y atención!“

“Recommended NEW latín restaurant in Paterson.... keep going guys !!!“

“Went here for lunch for the first time, and was pleasantly surprised. Handicapped friendly. Plenty of seating. Very organized to serve in an efficient manner. Yes. They speak English and the menus has English subtle“

“Wow what a pleasure eating at Gusto y Sabor. Pleasant and polite attentive staff. Food was delicious. Great outdoor dining experience. The freshly made lemonades are a must. 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.“

“Excelente todo“

“If you want to live the experience of a “corrientazo” restaurant in NJ, this is the place! Typical Colombian flavor. The roasts and soups are SPECTACULAR! Warm attention from Sandra and Marcela. Excellent prices
OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPROVEMENT: the space is very small and fills up quickly“

“I go to the place frequently, it is good, good food and excellent service. I can't give it 5 stars for two fundamental reasons, the first is a suggestion, don't order a tray paisa because it doesn't have arepa or avocado, avocado is fine, but without arepa it's unforgivable and it's not that it's a spectacular dish, better try others things that are very good. The second is that the parking lot is a nightmare, I would like to go more often but unfortunately when we go and there is nowhere to park we have to leave, we don't live nearby so if you can it is better to walk, for us it is impossible, we have lost the trip there just because we can't park. I recommend the place with complete confidence.“

“Saw steak on the menu. When I asked for that order, they told me they did not have that steak but instead they had skirt steak. I went for it and did not regret. It was hands down one of the best skirt sticks I have ever had. I don't know if this is always or if I was lucky. It was that good. It was thicker than I usually get out of the places as well as more perfectly cooked and at the perfect temperature. Also the picture is incorrect. The current picture is of their old location. They have moved up the block to bigger location. This location also has parking and an outdoor area. I will be going back to have another of the same or possibly to sample the menu a bit.“

“La buena atención y la rica comida Colombia“

“Excelente servicios y un personal capacitado. Lo recomiendo 1000 x 1000!“

“The flavors are like those of Barranquilla, it is evident that the tartar sauce and the pineapple sauce are made by themselves.
We were a group and we ordered a little from everyone.
And all very good, top ingredients.
I would drive whatever it took to get back.“

“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.“

“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. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼“

“Had a great experience with the taro latte . It was creamy, smooth, and perfectly balanced in sweetness. The flavor was unique and really enjoyable—not too strong, just right. The presentation was nice too. Definitely coming back for another one!“

“Been going to Happy Paisa Chicken for decades. Though I’m a pescatarian, I’ve always been satisfied with delicious food. My mom and friends like the chicken meals; I enjoy tostones, salad, rice, yucca, beans (frijoles), green sauce, puffed cheese pastries, and more. Since the 2020’s began, however, there is only the Take-out option; no dine-in.
A word of caution: be careful to park legally on the street; I’ve gotten a couple of parking tickets there over the years.“

“i love their food and service. all the plates i have tried have been delicious. Bandeja paisa, the churrasco and the toatones are amazing. everything is fresh and delicious! totally recommend“

“Ordered a couple dishes from here on door dash for the first time and I am impressed! The food was absolutely delicious, not one complaint about any of it. I didn’t know what to expect because the prices are so low and you just don’t see that anymore, the chicken combo was only $9. The portions are generous and even though some of it is deep fried NONE of it is greasy. Will definitely stop by next time to try more dishes.“

“The service was amazing the women there work so hard and make you feel so welcomed from the moment you walk in. Everything was on point, attentive, and genuine. And the food? So tasty and delicious 😋I would go back there any time, no hesitation!“
