Colombian Restaurants near Perth Amboy, NJ

“At about a 15 min walk from the Sadowski Parkway Waterfront Park, this picturesque restaurant is a fun place for dinner. With plenty of outdoor seating, an indoor dining area with lively music plus a club-like vibe, and a stylish bar, Noches de Columbia looks and feels like a place you could go to for your next celebration. Amazing cocktails, generous portions, and few vegetarian options. Our server needed repeating and additional orders took a while. The atmosphere seemed to make up for it though. Free parking outside for a few cars.“

“Alquimia is a Colombian bakeryWith very good prices and very friendly.They have been in that place and their clients for many years; like me we attend because the food is quite good, I love the bandeja paisa, the rice with chicken and fried plantains. The juices, the bonus breadThe attention is excellent and the place cozy.If to say that what is worth in a place is that the customer service; They were almost closing and I needed the bathroom because there was no one around, and they kindly lent it to me, thank you.I give them 5 stars“

“Great food. So far the best colombian food I ate in NJ.“

“it is nice, it can be loud but be aware. Although the menu says they will charge an 18 or 20% tip automatically to a party of 4 and higher, they still had it to be party of 2 automatically. if you don't realize that then they hand you the receipt with the tip line blank, hoping you had another 20% percent I think this thief and deceptive.“

“Great Columbian food made buy some awesome older Columbian ladies....Especially the homemade hot sauces...Very friendly efficient staff, good music, and a fun atmosphere.“

“Came here to celebrate my birthday on a Thursday a little after noontime with my wife and four year old daughter. We drove up from PA which took us about an hour’s drive. We’ve been to the Elizabeth location and loved the food & service. The food was delicious and the portions were more than what I expected. I had the “Mar y Tierra salteado” with a side of tostones and a passion fruit juice with milk. My wife had the regular “mar y Tierra” also with tostones and a strawberry lemonade juice. My daughter had chicken tenders and rice from the kids menu.

The food was delicious. My only complaint was that the passion fruit juice was very sour. For $20 we ordered an appetizer of large guacamole with enough chips for like four people which was too much for us since it was just me and my wife. We ate all the guacamole but not all of the chips. By the time we got our food, I was a little full and had to give myself a break during my main meal to finish it.

Our waitress gave us excellent service. I didn’t get her name, but she was very warm, friendly, polite and attentive to everything we needed. The food and drinks arrived in a decent amount of time. However, it did take her a little bit too long to bring us our bill. We were done with our meal and sat there for quite some time, I’d say about 15-20 minutes until she returned with our check after asking for it. She seemed a bit overwhelmed as there were several other tables near us which she was also serving.

For a Thursday around 1230pm, I was surprised to find a decent amount of customers inside. It wasn’t full, but there were a good amount of customers enjoying lunch. I can only imagine how packed this place gets on Friday nights and weekends.

As mentioned earlier, it was my birthday and my wife let the waitress know. At the end of our meal, our waitress came out with other waitresses carrying a tray with ice cream and chocolate cake. They gathered around our table and sang out happy birthday to me in front of all customers with some upbeat music playing in the loudspeakers. It was a nice gesture.

I gave my rating 4 stars only because I didn’t like that they charge you more for paying with a credit card vs paying in cash. I think it was about a $10 difference for me when I got my bill. I understand that businesses get charged when customers pay with credit cards but no other restaurants that I’ve been to do this. I also give it 4 stars because I didn’t like that I had to pay $20 for a large bowl of guac and chips. I asked if they had smaller sizes and was told no. It’s ok if there’s a large group, but for smaller families I feel there should be more options. Finally, I was surprised to see that we got charged $18 for the birthday tray which was brought out to me. It’s a little pricey honestly and I don’t recall seeing it advertised on the menu. The tip is already charged on the bill at 15% which is fine with me. You have the option to add more tip if you’d like.

In all we enjoyed our experience and will return in the future.“

“Muy bueno el desayuno la atención exelente lo recomiendo ahora conquistaron un nuevo cliente 😅😅“

“Healthy and fresh. I happened to stop here because I was so busy all day and didn't eat any breakfast. It was already 6pm and I feel like I manifested this fresh healthy meal. And the coffee was the best coffee I have ever tasted! AC was excellent too on this hot humid summer day.“

“The food is always fresh, always delicious and the servings are plentiful. My favorites are the grilled chicken or steak with onions, and the sautéed red snapper. Tostadas with guacamole and shrimp. I haven't had anything that wasn't delicious. Add the red hot sauce for added flavor 😋 👌🏽 😉“

“Muy bueno todo excelente atención“
