Only giving it 4 stars because the day we went there it was busy and service was a lil all over the place. Servers were doing their best it looked like there was shift management missing all together so they were doing what they could. Overall without this hunch the place looked well run. Food was soo good that we will defo return for more.

Small but vibrant bar area, background TV with el fútbol, and a small cup of dried kernels to start. (Just like in Ecuador, but smaller kernels.) My friend ordered an apple cocktail, which he said tastes good and masks the alcohol content. With no tap water here I choose a mango beverage. Disappointed - the ice crushed inside diluted the flavor. I just wanted mango. :( There was quite a long wait for appetizers, considering we were the only 2 people here at 7:30 on a weekday. (I'm sure this place is busier on weekends or nights. Maybe.) My friend's authentic big kernel corn "is really good". My El Tegrillo app (breakfast for dinner!) is also really really good. Great mix of flavors and textures and ingredients. Note that you'll not want for portions here. Order small or bring a lot home. Caveat emptywalletor. I put some appetizer aside when the entree arrived. Excellently seasoned chicken, beans, rice, sauces - South America has made its way north. And some of that is also coming home with me Best of all: It's not in the trafficky part of the Ironbound. Verdict: Glad I had an excuse to visit the only Ecuadorian in the area. A solid though pricey 4-5 stars. The friendly service and homegrown nature gives the edge!

Their rice and beans are also well seasoned, flavorful, and definitely prepared with love. This area has a lot of choices for Colombian food, but Palo Alto has to be one of the best restaurants in this area. The service was fast, attentive, and friendly which made the experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere is nice and welcoming. Definitely a restaurant you don't go just once. If you like Colombian cuisine, I highly recommend Palo Alto. And if you've been meaning to try it, this is an excellent place to start.

Imagine an establishment advertising a Knicks watch party and when you arrive, said establishment…read morepretends that the flier they posted on THEIR social account doesn't exist. The happy hour specials they promised for the watch party aren't happening, the game they said would be playing isn't playing, and not even a single NBA player in sight (didn't believe this either way). We were so excited to witness the Knicks complete history and instead felt like we were lured into an establishment under false pretenses and essentially setup for a scam. Even after we informed management of the advertisement we were given countless excuses "we don't do happy hour on Saturdays", "oh well that happy hour ended at 7", "we're going to play the game, we're waiting for tables to leave first", and the list goes on. It's unfortunate that the staff working that night had to deal with our disappointment because it's not their fault. Their ownership/management showed no remorse for the mistake on their end and instead of truly trying to make it right, tried to deflect and point the finger at us instead, causing us to have to leave as the game was beginning and find plans elsewhere What's even more interesting is that even after our complaints, the flier remained up for the rest of the night . Will never go to this establishment or any sister restaurants again!

Horrible experience from start to finish. We came for their advertised "Knicks Watch Party", and…read moreabsolutely nothing matched what was promoted on the flier. When we arrived, the hostess told us our full party needed to be present before we could be seated.. no issue there. We even asked to move our reservation closer to 8pm since the last couple of people were running late, and were told that was fine. But as it got close to 8, the manager suddenly insisted we sit immediately so our two hour timer could start. Again, no problem. The real issue began when people in our group asked about the happy hour that was advertised for the watch party. When part of our group arrived earlier, we specifically mentioned we were there for the watch party and the happy hour they posted. Instead of simply explaining that the promotion wasn't actually valid, the manager became rude, defensive, and ultimately told us to leave. Completely unprofessional behavior, especially considering the misinformation came from their own flier.
