Colombian Restaurants near Staten Island, NY

“We went for lunch. We come here very often but it was always for dinner. Lunch service this time was best food, service, and atmosphere we’ve had. Chicharron was cut thinner than for dinner service which was way more palatable. Rice and beans were very well seasoned. Beef empanadas were great but had more potato than beef. Calamari had a very light batter which was nice. The same day, Ecuador and Peru had a match which we were made aware of by the oversized Ecuadorian and Peruvian flags. It’s good to see a business still changing its interior and for the better.“

“it was good“

“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.“

“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 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. ??“

“Delicious food and friendly, kind owner!! My father and I had the bandeja típica and I had the ropa vieja with tostadas and rice with beans Cuban-style. The meat of the ropa vieja was wonderfully seasoned. Part of the chicharrón meat was a bit tough to chew. The coffee was so cute and delicious ?“

“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.“

“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.“

“Deliciosa comida y atención excelente mi sitio especial para sentirme cómo en casa“

“I go to this restaurant at least 2 times per month. Everything on the menu is great. Prices are cheaper than the other restaurants near by. Food is colombian but the owners are mexican but don't be fooled thinking that taste is not the same because it IS THE SAME TASTE OF COLOMBIAN FOOD. They do have customers parking in rear. Don't park across the street in the banks parking lot you will get towed as it happened to a friend of mine“

“Todo absolutamente todo, la mejor!“

“Really delicious colombiam food in linden NJ . I guess the only one in town besides the others all around Elizabeth NJ. . This a small but confort spot for really good Colombian food. You can't go wrong with the dishes here. Especially with the bandeja paisa and pechuga asada.. and the fresh shakes of fruits . Really recommend it“

“Very good food and good atmosphere with cool staff with outstanding prices. Maintain the quality of the food, which is the main issue when cooking in any restaurant. I wish you the best vibes and the best luck. Good restaurant serving the Latin community in Elizabeth. “

“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.“

“Muy bueno todo excelente atención“

“I stopped at this restaurant on Sunday night around 7pm for a last minute dinner since my first choice across the street wasn't offering Haitian food on Sunday. The mature aged woman who stood behind the counter patiently took her time explaining and showing me the available options. And I finally agreed on the fried pork with white rice and bean sauce. She also convinced me to try one of each of their empanadas (chicken, beef and cheese). The pork was delicious as well as the rice and beans. Thank you for the great customer service and quality food.👏🏾“

“This spot was awesome. Tiny small house turned into a business, but this small place has everything you need. From great food, to clean bathrooms, a 360 degree view. We'll decorated as well. The chicken tacos and burger and fries I had were amazing. My only request is that this place gets themselves a signature hot sauce that's very spicy, that would make this place perfect. Most people dont do spicy, but the Mexican community and Indian community love spicy salsa or sauce, it would make everything perfect. There is a decent market of Mexicans and Indians in the area! Hopefully owner reads this review, but you have a great spot.“
