The best kept secret in Dover! My boyfriend and I came here by chance when we were in Dover craving yuca fries, and since then, we've been hooked! We even came here to eat two days in a row once hahah Prices can't be beat, food is high quality deliciousness, and employees are extremely nice. You really get more bang for your buck when you order Bandeja Paisa, Especial de Bandeja, or the Calentado Paisa. They're all a little different but they each come with a variation of your choice of meat (grilled beef, chicken, pork, or chicarron) with rice, beans, egg, and corn patty in addition to whatever makes each dish different. For example: Bandeja Paisa includes grilled beef, chorizo, AND chicharron; Especial de Bandeja includes maduros and a beverage. Those options are all between $9-$12.50 AND the portions are huge!!! Sometimes when we don't want to get a huge platter like the ones listed above, we'll even opt for ordering multiple sides to make our own "platters" lol. I've ordered sides of yuca fries, chorizo, rice, and the Caldo de Costilla (beef rib broth - $4 under the breakfast menu) and be SUPER full at a super cheap price! ALSO! They have the best pink sauce and hot sauce ever. I don't know what it is about it, but it's just sooo good and flavorful. The pink sauce is very garlicy and the hot sauce has a nice kick and a slight vinegar-y taste. Mmm. I can't rave enough about this place. It's a tiny restaurant though so tables are limited (especially with COVID-19 social distancing in place), but if you have a chance to dine in, do it! They also offer take-out. Highly recommend! read more

Altoque is Spanish for "not cheap." My Colombian coworker brought us here on his recommendation and said the arepas are best. We walk in, and the first thing I note is there's no English spoken here, which is honestly not unexpected in Dover. At least the menu is translated. In fairness, everyone else was ordering so I got rushed. While everyone else got arepas, I chose the Hawaiian patacon (plaintain) dish. Price for all dishes was around $15 + tax, which seems high for the size of the arepas but was about right for the patacon. The dish was delicious, the plaintains well fried to hold up the ample portions. As others around the table said, the fries here are nothing special and I agree, which is part of why I picked a dish that didn't include them. Everyone else was getting a drink so I was pressured into guanabana. I prefer tamarind normally, but fresh-mixed guanabana wasn't bad; I just wish I had a way to tell them not to put ice in mine. (At least we're talking 6 cubes and not 30.) Main problem: Very long wait for our food, at least a half hour from our order to when it appeared. Takeouts were getting prepared and sent out as we sat and waited, and our lunch break took over 90 minutes when all was said and done. On a work day. So you will want to call ahead here, not eat in. Not to mention that it's a fairly small interior - it can fit some tables, but our group of 6 took up at least half the capacity. In the end, to cut the wait short, my friendly coworker had to go up and pay for us instead of having the waitperson come by. She's clearly overworked, taking orders from front to back, bringing food from front to back, and managing the whole process. This isn't a bad place if you want to take out dinner, or a lunch that will have leftovers for dinner. But there is comparable food in Dover that's at least this good, portions at least this big, prices lower, waits shorter, and even with more room to sit. So relative to others in the town, I'm capping it at 3 stars. read more

Altoque Colombian food - Colombian Near Me - Dover, New Jersey

The best Colombian restaurant in dover! Their prices are very fair and the quality of the food is amazing. The staff and owner are very welcoming. I would order bandeja paisa which is a typical Colombian meal. It's a huge plate full of 3 kinds of meat, rice, beans, eggs, avocado, and arepa. They're sauces are very unique. I highly recommended trying them. They're pink sauce has a nice garlicky touch and they're red salsa is also very citrus-ey and have a nice spice to it. read more

Excellent Food. Great service! And authentic Colombian food. The best homemade beans I ever had.

Stuck between 3 and 4 stars, but I'll go with 3 just because the food was good. I placed a phone order and was informed it be about 45 min. We ordered 2 Arepas con Queso, Una hamburguesa Colombiana, y 2 chuzos. When I arrived to pick up my order I was not greeted and was just asked for my name. I paid and the girl did not give me my full change. She gave me a dollar but I was missing about 40 cents. Then I waited to be handed my food for about 5 min even though she had it on the counter, yet I was never inform that it was my order. I picked up my food and was not thanked or given a goodbye. The food in this place is great. But, their customer service sucks. My experience wasn't terrible but not sure if I'd order from here again. There are so many other places options nearby. read more
