Delicious, fresh and friendly staff. They really took care of our large party and brought us tasty delicacies before our entrees. Highly recommended location. And the patio area is so neat!

This is my second time getting food from here & I must say the food is amazing ! Its authentic Colombian food, not like other chain restaurants who serve Americanized Colombian food. Bendita arepa is by far the best Colombian food I’ve had here in Paterson. The service was fast and the servers were all nice & helpful. My favorite was definitely the limonada de coco (coconut lemonade) & the ceviche de chicharrón. I also got the bandeja paisa which was so good ! The beans were very tasty. I ended my meal with an oblea which is by far the most authentic oblea I’ve ever had here in the US. It took me back to Colombia when I took the first bite. Im so glad I found this spot and will be definitely coming back.

I had breakfast there and I ordered something very simple because I don’t eat meat. I had chocolate, perico eggs with arepa with cheese. The service was excellent, the place was very clean and pleasant, I like the screens with relaxing scenery. Definitely would come back. Something to mention that I really liked was the big cup where the chocolate was served!! Amazing

The food and pastries I ordered were good but the price on the menu I was given to order from was not the “real” price. I was surprised when it came time to pay and asked why the price was so high, the guy pulled out another menu and shows me the “real” prices. Wow… Deceptive business practice left a “bad taste in my mouth” after a pleasant interaction with the servers, how unfortunate. I wanted to come back for dinner but not after that… $41 for $25 of menu prices, no way… Regarding the response to my review, this was not a discrepancy between the internet pricing and in-store pricing. I went into the restaurant and was handed a physical menu with pricing on it, then when it was time to pay, a different menu was pulled out with different prices. It’s not good for your business if the customer feels cheated.

Stopped in here for the first time and had their signature arepa. It was delicious, and the staff were helpful and friendly.
Only thing I did not appreciate was that they added a 15% auto-gratuity which wasn’t on the menu (never seen this for a party of one before) and also included a tip line on my receipt. This is not a huge deal, and I would have ripped more than the automatic amount anyway, but people should be aware of this mandatory fee. There is also an additional extra fee for credit cards.
EDIT: The owner’s response is not accurate. See attached photo of my reciept. There is a gratuity added to the total as well as suggestions for additional tip amounts.

Excellent food and great service !! The food taste very fresh and flavorful, they have a huge selection of food on their menu. The owners and staff are very friendly. I highly recommend these place, you will get a traditional Colombian flavor on their plates. I recommend to get Cazuela de frijoles.

I was the only person who didn’t speak Spanish and they found a waitress that spoke English and she did her best to make sure I was happy and got what I needed. And the food was delicious.
