My wife's coworker brought in Empanadas from here recently, and since then my wife wanted to go. She ordered a buffet of almost all the Empanadas that they offer. I thought that they were pretty good for being corn. My wife and Father-in-law both loved the ones that they tried. They enjoyed the pabellon, they chicken and cheese and so many others. The only issue is that most employees here do not speak English, and the language barrier is pretty evident... So if you do not speak Spanish, I wish you luck! The restaurant has high plastic barriers all over from what I can see. There is an entrance for the restaurant, and a separate one for to-go! Sadly this really is not my heritage, or any family members heritage, so I can't say if these are the best.... All in all, my wife liked them! Aside from the language barrier, I don't really have any issues. A lot of good food for a great price! Always leave very satisfied! Make sure if you guys stop by you get "deditos de queso" if you guys like cheese. They are one of the best Colombian restaurants in Union County, even if small they go over the limit. The food is awesome and they give you a lot, so you should go hungry. Friendly staff. Great food at a reasonable price. The salmon is really delicious and about 1/3 less than another restaurant in price. Pabellón is shredded beef in red sauce, NOT to be confused with Italian red sauce. This sauce is lighter and ideal for the shredded skirt steak. It is served with white rice and shredded cheese over Black beans. Very tasty. The slight saltiness of the cheese goes really well with the black beans in its thick sauce. This place is so reasonably priced that I always tip 20% of the bill plus a dollar. Full dinners for two cost me $31, so I left a $7 tip. The waitresses and waiters remember you and show their appreciation by waiting on you hand and foot. ENJOY!!! The starters are very good. I also like the mango in milk a lot. The steak is not really a steak I'd say. It tastes more like a sliced beef dish with onions. The fish is really overfired and not good. The chicken is ok. The dessert is just ok, way lower than the expectation. Overall 3.9/5 4-star restaurant, food is delicious, service is good but every now and then, there is inconsistency with the accuracy of orders placed. I understand it is a busy place so it needs some work to get to 5 stars. This place the food is excellent. Everything is well-prepared. The soup is delicious. I'm never disappointed when I come here. I just wish they delivered. I ordered chicharrón it was delicious. And Yuka frita, was nice and crispy. Oh, and the frita plantain was nice and sweet. I was here this past Friday and although service was slacking... my Bandeja Paisa was LIFFEEEEE!! Everything on my plate was amazing. The steak was tender, pork fried to perfection, rice and beans... I can go on and on... so far out of all the spots on Morris Ave this one is my fave! IG: @bougiefoodiee Food was served in large portions, tasted great, came out hot, and was cheap. Couldn't have asked for a better place to fulfill my Colombian food craving I love this place.. service is always great and food is delicious. Make sure you're very hungry because they serve a lot of food or you can have them pack it up and bring it home with you. There's no park lot so make sure you feed the meter when you go because the police will give you a ticket.

We went today, and we regret it, food was horrible, meat has not taste at all, my husband had add salt to at least give it some taste, it was not seasoned at all, place was not full and service was slow, not attentive at all. I do not recomended this place.
