Great food and service! Will definitely visit again. Don't forget to try the green sauce..it's a must

Excellent food and service. The stuffed sweet plantain was delicious. Owner were super kind and we had a great lunch

Today my tastebuds were blessed with this deliciousness. Placed a delivery order for lunch and I'm officially hooked. I ordered a Grilled Chicken Salad with a side of Tostones. #Iykyk NO-ONE orders tostones for delivery unless you are literally within minutes of the restaurant which thankfully my job happens to be. Everything was just superb. The tostones came with a sweet garlicky dipping sauce that was super tasty as well. Definitely going to be a regular! I will post more when I do go in person. read more

Ever since leaving Brooklyn, I've been looking for a place to try the best Arepas I was really excited and hope about this restaurant after reading all the rave reviews Now, first off, only one staff member spoke English and unfortunately I don't speak Spanish, so right off the get go it was a little challenging I asked what kind of arepas do you have and she said "lots" and then named off 3 lol - chicken, beef and cheese. So I got all three Now I don't think it's fair for Me to compare an arepa I had 5 years ago to today's arepa, but if I were to do that I would say this was unfortunately a little underwhelming I had hoped for more sauce, more flavor in general They were really busy filling a huge catering order it seemed, so I had to wait 35mins for my food. Overall the portions are very generous and the ladies running it seem really nice. I would definitely come back here and try it to stay and maybe ask for some sauce but I would not order take out again read more

Excellent food! Tostones & the garlic sauce, salmon, and grilled chicken are all delicious!

Small bakery with great food and really kind service. Highly recommend the pan de bono and the chicken empanadas. I went with my Venezuelan friend and he was super happy. He said the chicha brought him back to his childhood; they also had papelón con limón available. Prices are extremely low. The items I've tried (in order of most-to-least liked) are: -Pan de bono - delightful texture and sweet flavor (esp when fresh and warm) -Chicken empanada (Colombian style) -Chicken arepa (fried) - personally thought the chicken was dry, but otherwise great (and huge) -Cheese empanada (Venezuelan style) -Masita (w/ cheese) - a bit greasy; this was the only one I thought was just "good" I don't speak Spanish and my friend ordered for us, but the woman behind the counter was extremely friendly and kind. By the way, the hours on Yelp and Google Maps are both incorrect - when I visited they were M-F: 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Sat: 7 a.m.-8 p.m. Sun: 9 a.m.-7 p.m. read more

Small, unassuming joint in new bruns, serving up comfort Colombian. Street parking. Its one of those brochure menu places, can't find it online and have no idea the actual names of what we ordered. We were clearly noobs with the terminology but staff was patient with answering our questions. She also turned down the tv when we asked and let us hang out for a good hour or so. Thumbs up. They got fruity milkshakes (raspberry confirmed delicious), empanadas, arepas and a whole bunch of others in between. Most of which is deliciously fried, tons of flavor, with a perfect ratio of crispy and chewy mouthfeels. Pan de bono. Cheese bread thats not just cheese bread... its blow your mind chewy cheese bread. In a donut shape. It doesn't look like something that will rock your world but rock it it will. YOU MUST TRY THIS. read more

Small and quaint hole-in-the-wall in New Brunswick that seems to be fairly well-acquainted with its community. For a Thursday morning, perhaps the waves of customers coming in and out AND the orders piling up are a testament to the quality and familiarity of flavors at this local shop! Only street parking available. The cashier up front was very sweet and spoke English. It was our first time trying Colombian/Venezuelan cuisine but since they were crazy busy, she was in and out of the kitchen helping out. I relied on the recommendations of past Yelpers and we were able to pick out a few things to try: Pan de bono ($1.25) - cheese bread with a hint of sweetness. LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!! Come early because even though we came at 12, we got the last one. Beef Empanadas ($1.50) - very crispy and well-fried on the outside. Pairs well with the tangy hot sauce! Bandeja Paisa Mini ($12) - VERY filling! comes with egg, pork sausage, beef, sweet plaintains, pork belly with skin, and a small arepa Overall, food took a while to come out, but worth the wait! Will definitely be back to try more on the menu!! read more

Stopped by on a Saturday after Yelp blew up my phone wth how good this place is and they really delivered. Coming from North Jersey, where there are two Colombian bakeries on every block, I really, really missed having Colombian food easily accessible in New Brunswick. The pan de bonos were solid-- nothing special-- and chorizo was very good. They had run out of buñuelos when we got there which is probably a sign they were great. Had a passion fruit shake and it was also wonderful, though how can you mess up passion fruit? But what really blew me away were the Venezuelan staples. The meat arepa was fantastic-- all sorts of unexpected sweetness in the meat seasoning that went perfectly with the cheese and house sauce-- and the cheese empanadas were really wonderful. The bakery is tiny and, despite the owner (?) saying they hadn't officially had a grand opening yet, was full of people. Even though it appeared to have only been open for a week, multiple people there were clearly regulars and had their favorites, but plenty of people walked in without having the first clue what Colombian or Venezuelan food was, and the owner was extremely friendly and patient and happy to recommend food to try for beginners. Food took a little bit of time to come out, which the owner was way too apologetic about, but that also meant everything was made-to-order and delicious. I wouldn't hesitate to come here if you don't speak Spanish - they speak English although I only saw one non-Spanish speaker there while I waited - or because it's a little out of the way of the rest of New Brunswick, it's worth it to not have to drive all the way to Elizabeth or North Bergen for Colombian food. Wishing this restaurant the best of luck and I will definitely be hitting them up for lunch again! read more

Mom and pop shop serving delicious empanadas and arepas. Have not tried other items but I will... give them a try. Bakery has 2 high tables and side wall tables. read more

Love this small Columbian/Venezuelan bakery/restaurant! Don't expect too much from its appearance, but don't let the look deceive you... while the small place is more of a small sit in cafe with only 2 small tables and wall mounted tables around with tall bar stools, it packs a delicious if not limited set of dishes straight out of the kitchen right behind the counter. I feel that the restaurant delivers just the right food at the right volume. The pan de bono (delicious round bread with cheesy, chewy insides) from the bakery, to the delicious saucy pepito/sandwich, slightly salty arepa (filled corn muffin), the pechuga de pollo (grilled chicken breast) and the tilapia fillet are superbly cooked and flavorful at all the right level. I have to say that I don't know what they do but the green cilantro sauce is a bit different and more delicious than the less chunky ones found in typical "pollo a la brasa" dishes. Didn't try the more naturally oily fares such as the empanadas though. The prices (as shown in the menu picture) are very reasonable street price, especially given the quality and generous portion of the food. The gentleman behind the counter politely handles all our request including less salt, etc. and offers after-dinner cute small Jet chocolate bars with stickers in them :-) We're glad we tried this small treasure -- highly recommended for a down-to-earth meal in New Brunswick. read more

Thrilled that La Frontera is still killing it. Brilliant arepas a la plancha. Better than ones I've tried throughout Colombian restaurants in Elizabeth, and even Venezuelan ones I've tried in Argentina and Uruguay. read more

I had the chicken patacón from here and it was amazing! Huge portion couldn't even finish the whole thing. Full of flavor really enjoyed all the sauces that were included. Will definitely go back and try their other entrees. read more

This bakery has both Colombian and Venezuelan baked goods. They have daily lunches and fresh juices. The breakfast option is written on a daily board so I guess they change it up. Coffee is self serve while you wait for your order. It is a small place and very homey. The owner pretty much greets everybody once they enter and it seems a lot of the clientele know him. It opened up this week (5/10/17) so they are still getting their stuff together but overall good. The owner is Venezuelan and Colombian, thus the mix. read more

Their beef empanadillas are good and the pan de bono too. Their bandeja paisa however, is not worth $18 at all. Chicharrón was super thin and salty. The salchicha was extremely dry. I couldn't try the meat because they were out and it was replaced by a chicken breast. The sweet plantains were dry and just not tasty. Soo disappointed with this bandeja paisa. Don't waste your money on it, make the drive to Morris Ave in Elizabeth instead! read more

So excited to try this new local Colombian & Venezuelan bakery in my neighborhood. Almojabanas are my typical go to bread & theirs was absolutely delicious! The owner, Eddie was welcoming, friendly, and very courteous. He took the time to make conversation and let me sample his special sauce. The empanadas were very tasty as well. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to people I know. read more

First time I ever tried "Bono bread" and it was great. Especially when it's warm the cheese inside and the bread need to say less, good combination. "Pepito" was a sandwich that left me speechless. I like my sandwiches with a good amount of sauce and as soon as I bit it.. wow it was like that sandwich was just made for me! Good food. I recommend it. Cant wait to try "Picadera" next. read more

The arepas are freshly made and so delicious! So are the empanadas - definitely recommend!

Meh... Read the reviews...excited about Colombian/Venezuelan food in New Brunswick. I was disappointed...no empanadas Pavellon (told me to come back they were not ready yet) chorizo was TERRIBLE, chicken empanadas were just ok..bottom line, drive to Elizabeth for authentic Colombian or Venezuelan food read more

This place does not have Colombia typical food, the Mini Paisita is a joke and it cost $12. The empanadas are not typical Colombian ones. They charge you a dollar if you want to pay with your credit card. The food is not fresh at all. If you had real Colombian food before, please don't order anything from here you will be Very Very disappointed read more

The hours listed in yelp are incorrect. Went there this morning at 8:15 and they didn't open until 9:00. Also note that they open at 10:00 on Sundays. I really looked forward to trying out this place. Also, try to park close, the neighborhood didn't look very inviting and would hate to have to walk a distance to get there. read more
