Visited La Santa Bar & Grill the food was tasty we shared a Picada plate, with queso frito, we swapped out the blood sausage for something else. The service was good, the server paid great attention to us and checked in on us. The ambiance was nice I believe there is a club type area upstairs that was closed when we went. The space itself for the restaurant was a little tight. But overall I would recommend this restaurant. I can't wait to try their brunch which is available on Sunday. read more

Came here on a Friday night and we asked to be seated upstairs as the music was more club music versus Latin music. The place is a decent size with full bar on both levels. They have a happy hour menu but it ended at 7 and we missed it. We ordered a pitcher of white sangria and I must say......I will go back just for the sangria alone. It was tasty and just strong enough. My friend got the fried whole snapper and I got the skirt steak. My steak was okay, but the black beans that accompanied my white rice was good. Our waitress provided good service as service as well. I'll definitely be back. For those interested, they have hookah. read more

Visited this restaurant for their happy hour and I was disappointed! The food selection on the happy hour menu was very limited but the drinks had a variety. I ordered the sangria and a margarita. Both were nasty !! However the drink happy hour prices are very good which range from $4-9 dollars . 4pm - 7pm I also ordered the guacamole appetizer which was average . Our server and her attentiveness was very good although she barely spoke.. On this particular Friday they had a Dj but the music was too loud . However it was a a Nice vibe and ambiance.. read more

Came here for drinks and apps for a date night. It was a fun time. Very instagramable. Can't go with any of the alcoholic beverages. They also have hookah. It does get loud and it can sensory overload when they turn off the lights but fun (at least in my book). read more

I came to this spot to celebrate my friend's birthday. When I arrived I parked on the street. I walked in and we sat close to the kitchen area. The place is pretty small but it's super cute. We were served by Donna and another young lady and they were super sweet. I ordered sangria and it was tasty. My friends got food and I tasted the chicken and it was very tasty. I didn't care for the tostones because it was hard. As the night went on the DJ came and he was good. We had a good time dancing and vibing. The bill came to about $170 total. All in all we had a good time. read more

Met up with a group here. My first time at this restaurant. As I walked in, first impression was that the place was small although there was an upstairs. Music was playing and there was definitely a nice group of people. The decor was cool and inviting. I didn't get any help at the host stand, so I ventured upstairs looking for my group. Couldn't see them, that's how crowded it was. As I was headed back down the stairs to seek out a host, a lady approached me and asked did I need to be helped. I replied "yes" and told her what group I was looking for. She then proceeded to lead me there (they were all the way at the back of restaurant). I greeted everyone, sat down and proceeded to order. So I ordered the Pollo a la plancha and an old fashioned. My food was lukewarm but I didn't send it back as I was super hungry & food took a while to come. One person in my party didn't receive her appetizer she ordered. So there were a few issues with the waitress and our orders (there were only 8 of us). I asked to switch out the beans for veggies and I got charged extra, although the entree came with 2 sides. I think our waitress should have mentioned that it would be an extra charge. I will say the music was great. They also had live entertainment. All in all the experience was ok. Just wish there wasn't as many issues as we had. Note: the music is loud so may not be a good place for an intimate date. read more

Music was great drinks were good . Food was ok. Second waiter we had was not pleasant she came with wrong appetizer and claimed that's what I wanted but didn't offer to exchange it she was rude about it . After that she never came back to the table sent someone else . read more

came here for a girl's happy hour hangout! currently they only have a few drinks during happy hour, and no food specials. However, the prices are legit and huge portions. I tried the passion fruit juice which was delicious and tasted fresh. I really wanted the skirt steak (Churrasco) but wasn't too hungry so I tried the appetizer - mini arepas w/ steak. Steak was perfectly seasoned and cooked, the arepas didn't taste like corn meal but rather potato - but they were soft on the inside and a nice crisp outside! Service was awesome too, our waitress was SO sweet and took care of us! read more

Cute small somewhat Colombian spot with some outside seating and place may not be great for a larger party. We ordered appetizers, drinks and food which were all just okay. Ordered a margarita that was way too salty but server offered to exchange it and the mojito was much better. The food wasn't amazing for the price and some items were a bit salty. And to be honest I'd probably only go back for happy hour or drinks and because the servers were all really nice. read more

We dined at their outdoor space for a weeknight dinner. We ordered the whole red snapper and steak dinners. Whole fried Snapper came with small salad and fries. Be sure to get the house hot sauce. Steak came with perfectly cooked plantains. I ordered plantains for my fish and ditched my fries. Staff was very attentive. Manager greeted every guest. (I like this when dining). The inside is small but looks like a Funtime happens in there. read more

I came to this restaurant for a nice night out with my girls and this was the first time I ever experienced this restaurant and bar. We were really hoping to have hookah and unfortunately they only serve it on the weekends after 10pm. However their happy hour is the reason for my next return here. Their happy happy menu is small but good options and the drinks were strong and good tasting. Our waiter was very attentive and he made our experience a great one. I wish the restaurant was bigger especially during this pandemic time (it was much smaller then I expected) but it was a nice warm feeling when you walked in. I would highly recommend this place for someone who wants an affordable, fun night out. read more

The service was great. I enjoyed my food I had the whole snapper with rice, red Bess and a side of plantains

The food is phenomenal and fresh,brought out in a timely fashion. The staff is effervescent and friendly especially after a long day at work. The Sangria is fresh and perfectly made. If you've never had Columbian Cuisine here is a good place to start. I promise you won't forget it and like myself you will "Be Back" I don't eat out as much as I used to, but I must say, it is worth the trip. If you like hookah they have those also . Come with your coworkers after work.. you will have the time of your life .Don't just take my word for it... stop in and decide for you self. read more

They have outdoor dining as well as indoor right now. Great drinks, lots of mojito and margarita flavors. Their food was outstanding. I got the grilled shrimp with maduro and tostones. The shrimp was amazing. My husband got the skirt steak and raved about it. Service was great, they were very attentive. We actually came here after waiting 30 minutes at another resturant near by and never even having our drink order taken. La Santa made up for that! Definitely will be back. read more

Small. Overpriced food. the waitress was friendly didn't like the atmosphere parking horrible on the weekend

Great place for food and energy, very small tho, very tiny dance floor. Music is great !

Don't waste your money, this is not authentic Colombian food, the taste is very bland, take out prices were too expensive for such bland flavor and poor presentation. There are better Colombian restaurants in Elizabeth, NJ. Save your money. read more

great food, amazing vibes, worth the wait for the food, their drinks are phenomenal! i recommend if you wanna listen to good Spanish music & have a good time definitely coming back! read more

Very rude staff and not helpful at all. Also everybody is crowded together sitting inches apart, ignoring covid regulations

Decided to give this place a try and once my order arrived I was very disappointed. I ordered a bandeja paisa and was shocked at the portions. For one I have been to other Colombian restaurants and the bandeja paisa is one of their main dishes that is well portioned. I received a very small piece of steak and small chicharrón. The best part of this was the chorizo. The "paisita" from Noches de Colombia gives more and it's the mini order. Also the food was bland, their was no flavor what so ever. To top it off there were items missing from my order. Definitely do not plan on ordering from this merchant again. Better off going to Noches de Colombia. read more

Went on a Friday around 8/9. Food was very good, atmosphere was fun. If you do not like loud music & hookah this isn't the place for you. Service was excellent, it began to get crowded around 10:30/11. The place is small but has a lot of potential. It is a Colombian bar, so expect loud music, dancing and hookah. I happen to enjoy all of this so this place was perfect for me and I had a great experience! I am definitely going back! So happy that there is finally a place like this in the area, I hope they stick around! Again, the food was excellent. read more

honestly I would give 5 start only to the cheff and pleople in the kitchen it's a great place little small but great!! The prices are nice as well but servers not good at all .!!! Only bartender goin back and forward the ladys just sitting down on the phone and not checking on their tables .!!! If the owner change the servers would be a super great place read more

Went for lunch on a Sunday afternoon do a late lunch early dinner, place a bit crowded tables outside... came in with my girlfriend gentleman host sat us and gave a choice of tables, we shows a higher top by entrance with four seats, ordered two drink , the drink for my girlfriend was served first and I had to wait 10 minutes for my deink, while we were waiting for our meal the waitress asked us if we could move to a smaller table since there was a group with a baby that needed to sit Inside we of course gave up our table and the waitress offered us a round on drinks...the food took a long time and it was COLD. At the end of our meal we asked for our check , the check came and a 15% tip charged was added on. Asked the waitress for the drinks she offered for switching tables half way our dinner and she replied "you said you wanted 2 drinks for the table, I never offered you anything" at which point she took the card and never said thank you! I have absolutely no issue tipping 15/20% for GOOD service... however for the service provide was not merited a 15% gratuity. read more

Went there for lunch the other day and the service was terrible. The food was decent but the server was not welcoming at all. It took forever to get the food and drinks even though the place wasn't even busy. Honestly, wouldn't go there again. read more
