But the server was so patient with me and guided me through. I just wanted eggs and potatoes and chorizo. With her help, I didn't get potatoes but I go beans. I didn't know I was getting rice with my breakfast but even that was cooked perfectly and I ate it with my beans. The salsa was so fresh and spicy, took the rest home! The salad was great and the dressing a nice accompany, but I didnt even need it. I was so happy guys. So happy seeing all this food in front of me and having it be sooooo good. I never eat at places like this, as I am from California and I have pretty high expectations. But I'm so glad I saw their reviews and gave it a shot. Happiness. Neighborhood gem! Great Service, Great Coffee, Great Food! Thank you

Ordering is simple at the counter in front. there are a few seats to enjoy the food, it's a quiet cozy interior which allows for conversation. Definitely worth trying.

My favorite is the Hawaiian burger with French fries. The service is amazing, people are kind and helpful. I ordered for pick up and the order was ready in less than 10minutes.

Emma was our waitress. She was very attentive. She checked in often. She was polite and friendly. I ordered the bistec encebollao, papitas fritas, and ensalada. My wife ordered the filete a la plancha, tostones, and ensalada. It was tasty. The restaurant resides on a corner so it gets plenty of natural light. There are a few televisions for entertainment. Most had the World Cup on which was good. I can't remember if the volume was muted or low on the televisions. The restaurant wasn't loud; it was easy to have a conversation. The atmosphere is very casual. There is sufficient space between tables. I highly recommend.

The service has always been delightful over the years.

In my quest to explore the various cuisine scenes throughout Jersey City and specifically the Heights, I made my way to Noches de Colombia. Established by a family who migrated to the United States in 1997, their small test American dream project in New Jersey came to life. They realized that variety of food and love were the keys to a quality restaurant experience. The restaurant was the ideal hang-out for the local community and offered the perfect combination of music, conversation and TVs for the quintessential soccer fans around the world. As this was right next to "squirrel park" where the lil black beast loved to take walks, I constantly saw this business. Would I plan to share "futuro noches con comida de Colombia" with my friend!? PURCHASE Filete Empanizado w/2 Sides Frijoles Negros & Arroz Amarillo ($18.75): A ginormous piece of thick fish folded in half to fit the takeaway container, this was perfectly deep-fried while the inside meat was steamy and supple, it was served on a bed of hearty potatoes-au-gratin. The sides were homemade, flavorful, and enough as a meal on their own. The portion sizes were off the charts and provided for multiple meals. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=96&select=juHQRjwkcffynHUk-v61qA New York Steak Con Camarones w/2 Sides Frijoles Negros & Arroz Amarillo ($28.03): A little surf-n-turf action, it was a huge slab of medium-cooked meat with a nice outside crusting and moist inside on a bed of various veggies along with a handful of medium-sized plump shrimp. The same comments regarding the sides and portion size noted above. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=96&select=Nncz_IGb5IZ1Owbp90yMNQ Yuca Frita Side 5pc ($4.16): Lightly-fried fat sticks, these were hearty, filling, and yummy! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=96&select=7y6ZCiMz-giO01MUWaWRJA Pistachio Cheesecake Slice ($7.50): A thick but soft slice with a lovely pistachio aroma and taste only on the top. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=96&select=ugZNuGr_714odSFDhkahcQ Carrot Cake Slice ($6.50): Creamy, thick, and plenty of carrot throughout, this was a wonderful slice! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=kVnHux6vBt36nWEkZ_iV2g Dulce De Leche Strudel ($3.25): Filled with sweetness! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=dVnp8kxYLvejpI7ZNKPa2A Spinach Pastry ($3.65): Spinach-packed and healthy! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=BCsjKrWp41fQVoUnym6tEg Pollo Pastelino ($2.90): Packed with shredded pollo! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=PgXoh_lmjbqKS5uhaxJHrA Carne Pastelino ($2.90): Beef galore! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=Ls5WOWGAX9wW_XlOB_hqiA Chocolate Mousse Cake Slice ($6.76): Chocolatey goodness with a mouse on top! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=Z4glOIEXsrmiKiB51MXK_A SERVICE It was lunchtime as we were greeted by the women at the front counter. They easily took our walk-up order, the entrees took about 15 minutes while the desserts/pastries were immediately available. Unfortunately, the personalities of the staffers weren't the friendliest, so don't be offended - gracias. PARKING (Street; N/A this instance) This was an easy flat 10-minute walk from my friend's place. Otherwise, the only option was the plenty of spots along the main drag of Central Ave. and all surrounding roads - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A tidy interior layout with display/order counters at the entrance, a quaint bar area, and the rest of the floorplan covered with booths/tables. Colorful paint and pictures covered the walls. Decent natural lighting came through the many windows and doors while electric recessed ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were several TVs at the bar while music (and TV volume) played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=Mjuiz-_VduPLwL3kUb1wZQ ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Noches de Colombia's Jersey Heights location was awesome and would definitely return! From large portions, tasty food, reasonable prices, varied menu, and the service was efficient. And, I always loved supporting small businesses whenever possible (regional in this case). I found total value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $90.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...
