“De verdad es la mejor comida con mucha calidad y su personal trata a todos como familia las muchachas son tan servíciales que me siento como si estuviera en mi propia casa gracias a todos por sus amabilidades“

“Platos de excelente calidad y sabor; el buen servicio y ambiente familiar...SUPER RECOMENDADO.“

“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.“

“Great food and amazing coffee“

“If you've never had an arepa, try it! The bean casserole is AMAZING. Colombian cuisine, but they also have burgers, hot dogs, etc. Open air seating, also indoors. There is a sports bar down the hall and a dance hall upstairs; something for everyone. I've only been on the weekends and there is LIVE MUSIC to enjoy, sing and dance along to. Best of all, it's open 24 hours.“

“Comida deliciosa y ambiente súper agradable👍🏻“

“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.“

“personal, muy atento, buen servicio,“

“awesome food... great service.“

“Excellent service from all members of the restaurant. I call this place my second home, it is comfortable, the food is delicious and the service is excellent.
Thanks to Jelisa and Aide for their good attention. ♥️♥️🫡👅“

“The staff is super attentive and friendly. The food is tasty and super rich, the portion is excellent. I love this place, the natural juices and the Bendita Arepa are my ALWAYS favorites. They have a beautiful outdoor/indoor space to celebrate any activity. I recommend this place 100%“

“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!“

“Love this place , food, atmosphere staff location etc. What I don't like and so ny family and friends is the music is always too loud. I spoke about this before with no actions to resolve it.“

“Great food and amazing coffee“

“I enjoyed my service here. The whole staff is very attentive, polite and friendly. Love the conversations as well at the bar with Natalia. On my recent visit she made sure I was taking care of and offered different options to my needs. I definitely come back here! Hands down!“

“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.“

“The food is delicious and the service is great!“

“me encanta la reina pepiada.😋“

“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.“

“You would never expect some really good food from the exterior look. It not a restaurant but a grocery store that sell prep food dishes. Food is made fresh daily. Friendly service. Some minimal seating for quick eats for locals lunch time. Parking is limited in the back. For the price of a processed value meal across the fast food place, I rather get some freshly cooked home style flavorful Latin food.“

“Buena atención, buena música y buena comida.“

“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“

“This place serves meals that make you smile with satisfaction. Employees here show remarkable attention to needs. The setting feels right. The kitchen presents food that's both pretty and delicious. I saw consistent quality throughout.“

“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.“

“Highly recommend. Stopped in from Philly on our way to a wedding in NY and very happy we did. Terrific service, so friendly, delicious food, and many options. Would happily come back if in the area.

“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 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 love this restaurant the food is awesome good service classic Colombian food I love the rice with coconut that is the best rice that I ever had and the soup ajiaco that is the best soup they have. You have to order 20 minutes before you get there it takes a little while but it's worth waiting or call ahead if you're really hungry“

“We were travelling for 2 months and really craved a burger. We read the recommendations for this restaurant and it was walking distance from our accommodation. O.M.Gosh!!! The burgers were amazing!!! The service was fantastic. All the waiter's were so lovely.
We loved it so much, we went back again a few days later.
Also tried the hotdog. That was also unbelievable.
Great job!! Its a bit of a trek to come from Australia, just for a hamburger but....maybe again one day soon.“

“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 got my lunch today from La Placita. The food was super delicious.I had, white rice, beans, pork , and a little salad. The lunch also includes a little soup. They had beef or chicken.I picked chicken soup, perfect for this type of weather.
Another thing I like about La Placita, is their extensive bakery line.I had the corn bread, it's shape in the form of a big tart.Delicious. Their guava roll is extremely good also.
This place is always extremely clean.I Love to get my meals and bakery items from here .
The customer service is outstanding...“

“We recently ordered catering from Noches De Colombia for a corporate event with 160 attendees, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and it was clear that great care was taken in its preparation. The team arrived right on time, and their service was exceptional throughout the event. We would definitely consider using Noches De Colombia again for future events. Highly recommended!“
