“We stopped by this Colombian restaurant after a layover. The food in delicious. We have a calentado como carne and arepa which was fantastic. My husband had rice with sudado de pollo and lentils which were amazing. Fresh breakfast is available to order and everything is prepared quickly. They also make fresh juices and oat drinks. It was exactly what we needed. The staff and nice and helpful. Keep in mind they might not have a traditional menu per say, they have daily specials with a good variety.“
“Ordered some dinner from here to try them out. The chicken was pretty good. Went will with the rice and salad. The Empanada was good as well. He chicharrones could have used some lime/lemon and some garlic (mojito). The salad was abundant enough for two people. Over all it was good food.“

“Best place to eat in Elizabeth, NJ, traveling from Atlanta, GA and I can attest that is one of the best Colombian places that I have ate.At D'Medallo Restaurant, the food was exceptional, with flavorful dishes that delighted my tastebuds.

“Visited 2 times—first the bakery during a pit stop for some sweets, and then the restaurant the next Saturday evening for a big family dinner. Pablo and Octavio made our night a wonderful one! The majority of my in laws had not experienced Colombian cuisine/culture until this evening. From the authentic ingredients and aguardiente cocktails, to the lively entertainment we went home well fed and with great memories!“
“Had brunch at the restaurant. Huge menu and everything we ordered was great. The breakfast dish that was a combination of a toasted cheesy arepa, grilled beef, and fried rice blew my mind. What’s not to love! We also ordered pork in pineapple sauce which was really unique and actually pretty good. Portions were huge and it was a good, heavy meal.“
“Had breakfast there Saturday morning. First time eating there and everything was great. Cute little place to eat. Service was excellent prices were great. We loved everything we ate.

“Passed this place a thousand times without ever noticing it, but read some positive reviews and decided to stop in for breakfast. I ordered the typical Colombian breakfast which consisted of scrambled eggs made with diced tomatoes and scallions, chorizo, and the Columbian version of a tortilla with melted Mexican style cheese. All absolutely delicious. The coffee was great too. Columbian coffee with frothed milk, so good. I ate at the counter and conversed with the proprietors and they were so nice. Will definitely return.“
“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“
“It is a small place but very cozy, it has a wide Colombian menu, I ordered the tripe and I really liked it, they have a menu for children, do not miss this experience since it is not a spicy food Low in salt, the rice has that garlic flavor and onion reminds us of the homemade “
“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!!!!“
“A wonderful experience with that Colombian restaurant that I visited by chance, I loved everything and my wife much more since she is Colombian, she was delighted to find her favorite food in this restaurant, thank you for providing us with excellent service from the girls who served us, thank you ?“
“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 is a beauty of a hidden gem in Elizabeth, NJ. I’ve never felt so welcomed in a restaurant before like I did in El Parador Rojo Restaurant. I will admit the food is very good, but also very pricey. However, the people are so warm and friendly, very inviting. The live music is very fun and I love seeing the customers dance! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to take a quick trip to Colombia ??. Our server Holmar was fantastic and made great recommendations for food and drinks. Take an adventure to this beautiful restaurant, you won’t regret it!“
“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!“
“I loved it. I was pleased with the attention and the welcome of the people who work and serve there. They tell me that at night they have a great atmosphere. It was not very crowded, which made me feel comfortable. The food was fabulous. They have parking and very lively music. I went from the Bronx and I would gladly return. The portions of food are good. I ordered churrasco with fried yucca and for my son, churrasco with shrimp. We also ordered the Paisa tray. Everything was delicious and the pina colada is delicious. fantastic we enjoyed everythingParking: They have valet parking“
“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. :)“
“The food was excellent, and I tried a variety of dishes over the week and was never let down.-The customer service was excellent from the moment I walked in the door; they all greeted me.-They were courteous and helpful even over the phone.

“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“
“Such a hidden gem! Prices are completely reasonably, great service and extremely quick to bring your food out. The breaded chicken blew my expectations and would totally recommend to anybody who loves chicken! Give this place a try for sure!“
“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.“
“Visited for the first time recently, but definitely not the last! Best hot chocolate I’ve had in a while, and the guava and cheese pastry is not to be missed. Staff was friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant for quiet conversation with a friend. A lot of people were working on their laptops when we got there and it seemed quiet and the music wasn’t distracting. Looking forward to returning and trying more things off the menu.“
“I finally had the chance to have a sit down meal by myself and was not disappointed at all. 5 stars in all categories is very rare for me to give but when its perfect its deserving. My server had me scan a code for a review of his service but i lost it. I believe his name was Manuel (my apologies if i may be wrong). I was there on Tuesday about 5pm party of 1 my total was $68. I had the Mary Mar with roasted potatoes along with sangria if that helps you figure out the server. He deserves special mention for exceptional service. From my dining experience i tend to remember the level of service before i remember the meal. Servers set the tone and create the dining experience from beginning to end. It's imperative they are well trained and understand the importance of the role they play for the restaurant. The food is outstanding in taste and presentation. The atmosphere is relaxing and the place is well decorated. Thank you for the perfect dining experience.“
“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 …“
“Nice and inviting locale. Nice and attentive host, the owner makes the experience feels homie. The food is superior, the Cuban coffee real. Definitely a regular place to go and take loved ones and guests. 6 stars. Viva Cuba, Viva Latin America!“
“I could write a whole article of how clever and creative and amazing the food is here but it's one of those things you just have to experience. On busy days you will be waiting. But I promise you that it is worth it. Deserts are outsourced but buyer be warned but when you make sandwiches as good as these guys do who gives a f*** about desert you will never make it to. Huge recommend.“
“I randomly decided to try this place during my lunch break and the food is great! I got the vegan option fried and I devoured it. The only problem is that the wait was pretty long, I waited almost a half hour for a single order and I was the only customer in the restaurant.“
“(Translated by Google) First class food!! My wife and I were very well taken care of! Good beer. Latin music ????????️(Original)Comida uma delícia de primeira!! Fomos muito bem atendidos eu e minha esposa! Cerveza boa. Música latina????????️“
“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.“
“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.“
