“Mauricio, From the moment we sat down, he was all smiles—happy, upbeat, and full of energy that made our whole table feel welcome. He wasn’t just friendly; he was genuinely fun, cracking jokes, keeping the mood light, and making sure everyone (especially the kids!) felt special.

He knew the menu inside and out and gave amazing recommendations—especially for the appetizers. You could tell he really cared about making sure we enjoyed the best of what the place had to offer.

It’s rare to find someone who’s not just doing their job but clearly loves it. Our meal was great, but the service truly made it memorable. If you get the chance, ask for him—you’ll be glad you did!“

“WOW!! Love Love Love this little place. lt’s great! First of all, we've been looking for a good burger place in the Union City, WNY, NB area, and it’s been tough, usually they’re mediocre at best, but not this one.
We walked jn and were warmly greeted. Our server was so sweet! She handed us a menu, which looks like an ipad, and there were so many choices, with pictures of the what the food looks like.
My bf and I ordered 2 burgers because we were in a burger mood. I can say that it definitely wasn’t a disappointment! The burgers were juicy, tasty and big! Definitely the Best burger we’ve had in the area.

The place is small, but so charming with all the decor. And they have a TV screen which shows how all the food is prepared. definitely makes you hungry!

Granted, the burgers were messy but definitely worth it! Besides the fact that they give you utensils.

As we were walking out, we ran into one of the owners, And we had to tell him how much we loved the place and the food.

Parriyas is absolutely a great choice for sandwiches and bowls and the wonderful service!

Thank you, Juan, for introducing yourself and letting us know that you also have restaurant delivery as well as Grub hub. We will absolutely become regulars!

Wheelchair accessibility: Door is right off the street.“

“The food and natural juices here are really good. If you're looking for Colombian food (Pandeja Paisa, etc) and not too concerned with price, then this is the spot to go to. Otherwise, you might want to find a more price friendly place... you can easily spend $100 on two adults and one small child here.“

“Great local spot to have an affordable and filling meal, in a great environment.“

The ambient was incredible, amazing food, the crew was very professional and friendly and definitely I love the Colombian people who has so much in common with us Brazilians, good heart people. I will be back many and many times. I need start Spanish class soon jajajaja los chicharon and plantanas oh Dios mio muy buenos…👌🏾🔥😂🇧🇷⚽️🇨🇴💛❤️😬“

“First time visiting for me and my wife, as we walked in we didn’t know where to sit so we went upstairs. However, the server led us to a dimly lit corner despite plenty of tables available so we chose to sit downstairs instead, even though seating there was a bit tight and not very comfortable.

Our server downstairs was attentive and friendly, which we appreciated. That said, the overall atmosphere felt more geared toward guests with reservations for special party celebrations rather than people just for dining in, so we got the impression that we should wrap up and leave once we finished our meal.

The food was decent, and found parking on the street but there’s valet service.“

“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!“

“Came here for my mother in laws birthday and come to find the most delicious and authentic Colombian food. The service was 10/10 our waiter Brian Santos deserves his flowers, amazing service, attention, knowledge of the plates and drinks. Top recommendations. We got the sancocho con Churrasco. Ajiaco con ahogado. Margaritas. Micheladas, tostones. All the dishes were delicious and the portions were MASSIVE, you could easily split a plate with soup and salad between 2 people. Overall 10/10 I'd definitely recommend ??“

“I didn't expect the food to be this delicious, but what I liked the most and why I would return would be the sauces. I have been living in the United States for a while and it is the first Colombian restaurant that has good tartar and good pineapple. If that's what you're looking for, there it is... what a delicious tartar and pineapple“

“I rarely order pick-up food to eat at work and I tell you that so far the cook has excelled. Tremendous seasoning it has. It doesn't have as much coloring as other foods in the area, it has just the right flavor. I recommend the Barbecue pork ribs, they are phenomenal. Likewise the ice creams, the fritters and the bonus bread. I recommend them. ??“

“Excelente restaurante . Excelentes atenciones . La comida Exquisita . Lo recomiendo cien ? por ciento!! Ven y disfrútalo ..“

“The place is nice, it's a shame it's not a restaurant ?, but OK we came to leave a great comment because it deserves it, it's a nice and clean place, you have many souvenirs from Colombia at a good price in addition to all the things they sell pre-cooked (arepas, empanadas, pandebonos, salads, arroz de leche, chili, hogao) all of that is great ?the chorizo ​​is crazy, made by its owner, it is a HIT, they sell it to eat at the moment and pre-cooked and the better the better and a 10 more to the good comments is the LECHONA really is spectacular, the flavor, fatty, all the ingredients are just right and the skin is super crunchy, they informed us that they prepare it on Saturdays at noon, so you know...and They also make it for special dates in trays of 10 and 20 servings.
We are happy to have visited them and enjoyed the food and the excellent service of their employees.
Listen to how crunchy the pig's skin is and the quantity and prices are super reasonable, congratulations guys, you do it very well.“

“The service from the waitress was horrible she got our order and just left us , no salt on the table , no salsa that comes with the food, no knife for the steak. The guy that did her job was great. The only reason we left a tip it was because the tip is shared. The food is by far the best one I’ve tasted in a while. Very original.“

“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.“

“Great hidden spot for some authentic Colombian food. They have three (3) different dishes of the typical Colombian plate: Bandeja Paisa. Also, it is a BYOB. There is parking onsite. I have not had a bad time here. Everything is delicious and the service is great. Highly recommended.“

“I ordered a “mini” paisita and a side of maduros for my partner and I… I had enough food for 2 1/2 meals. The flavors are incredible, the atmosphere and service are friendly, and I will be eating here again. The beans, maduros, steak, chicharrones and sausage are to die for.“

“Deliciosa comida y muy buena atención, lo recomiendo.“

“(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 ☺️“

“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 enjoy tasting empanadas from all types of places. Empanada Mama is by far the best of any place I’ve ever tasted!! The portions were stunning, the food was full of flavor, the menu is large, and the dessert empanadas are just as amazing as the savory ones! Definitely some comfort food right here ❤️ Amazing delivery as well“

“I came in from out of town and wanted to try something new to eat. I chose Seba’s and I had such great food and service! Being from northern WI, I had no clue what to get, but Gina helped me put together a lunch plate of many delicious foods from the steam table. The lentils, chicken, yuca, ensalada de papa and the beef were great! The Tres leche is The service and kindness made it all the better.“

“Great place and staff!!! Love it!“
