Noches de Colombia in Elizabeth really delivers if you're craving authentic Colombian food…read more We ordered the bandeja paisa and the combinado, and both were generous in portion and full of flavor. The bandeja paisa had everything you want and well-seasoned meats, perfectly cooked beans and rice, ripe plantains, and a fried egg on top that tied it all together. The combinado was just as satisfying, with a nice variety that let us try multiple flavors in one plate. Service was friendly and attentive without feeling rushed, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, perfect for a casual Sunday lunch. Everything came out hot and fresh. Definitely a solid spot for Colombian food in the area.

We ordered fish & chips and a Cuban sandwich. Bold moves, apparently. The fish was so tasteless, I think I offended it by taking a bite. Honestly, frozen supermarket fish would've put up more of a fight. The fries? Also running for the "most bland" award. And the Cuban sandwich--ham, cheese, and shredded pork so thin I had to squint to find the protein. A whisper of meat. A ghost of flavor. But wait, it gets better. A Snapple? $4.00. For that price, I expected someone to at least open it for me. Instead, zero service--and yet, the screen still flipped around asking for a tip. The audacity? Inspiring. Just not in the way they think

This is a clean casual eating restaurant with a colorful upbeat vibe, Spanish wall art and music. They have cafeteria style steam trays and some tables. I think they do a lot of take-out. Not having a lot of Cuban food experience, I did recognize the empanadas ($3,95), fried pork, red and black beans and yellow rice before settling on a Cuban sandwich ($12.95).The sandwich was just what I needed at the time. Hot, flavorful and the ham and pork was hot, well seasoned and juicy. The bread had a crispy cover but soft on the inside. I understand that the Abuela still does some of the cooking. I usually eat around 3pm so at 5:30 I was starving. I'll be eating more Cuban food in the future!

I did a to go order that included Cuban Sandwiches, ham croquette, and some Puerto Rican pastelles. The Cuban sandwiches were done well and delicious, I haven't tried the pastelles yet, but the croquettes were pitiful which is what led me to give this place only 3 stars. Croquettes are a Cuban staple and there is no excuse for not having such bad croquettes. They were extremely thin, dry and flavorless.

All the workers were very polite. I had an Oxtail plate, served with a choice of rice and beans. I opted for White Rice and Black Beans. Since I was dining in, I was offered a small salad and a cup of chicken soup. It was a hot day, so I had a Passionfruit Slushy. The Oxtail was very tasty and the rice and beans were flavorful. The portion was sizeable. You get a great value for the price. I would definitely return, because there are many other dishes that I would like to try. It would also be great for a grab and go dinner. Very affordable, and you will be full and happy.

An $11.50 tip was already included on my $93 bill, yet the itemized receipt showing that charge was wrapped around my credit card, while the signature copy with only the total was placed on top. That presentation feels intentional and misleading. Most people would sign without double-checking the tucked receipt and could easily tip twice. If gratuity is being added, even for a party of one, say it clearly. Transparency matters. Great food doesn't excuse shady billing practices.

For dessert I ordered Cake de Piña, guayaba and tres leches. Here is my honest review.... I don't get the hype of this place. This is the second time I order and the food is never above average. I wanted to give it a second try. White rice- lacked softness, and salt. Red beans - watery, had no verdura, seasoning, or sofrito. It didn't taste like Habichuela Guisada and was watered down. Baked Chicken- lacked in flavor, had no seasoning, no oregano no salt. It was bland and lacked in taste. i also would have preferred it be cooked a little longer. Red Potato Salad - This was done greatly, i like how the red onions were diced small, and had the right consistency of mayo. thumbs up on this one! Arepita De Yuca - They are not bad but I have had better. They taste like over used oil, or old oil. However they are not terrible. Cake de Piña - was expecting that typical Dominican Cake with the pineapple inside and outside dominican frosting. Cake de Guayaba - I was expecting a little more. Cake de Dulce De Leche - I was expecting authentic Dominican Cake. Overall, this will be my last time eating from here this Dominican Restaurant is definitely not living up to the standards of Dominican Cuisine and it's over priced. I have had better in Paterson and NY.

The mofongo is made fresh to order for each customer using the old-fashioned method of beating plantains by hand. I ordered it with fried eggs on the side, medium, which were perfectly prepared.

Nestor and the rest of the staff had a good sense of humor and enjoyed chatting with the customers who stopped by for lunch.
