I came here with my family once and all of us (even the 10 year old) throughly enjoyed it. We got the most expensive steaks and they were simply delicious. The juices held together nicely within the meat because of the authentic wooden stoves they use. It gives all the food a nice char while leaving the insides tender and bloody. Aside from the blissful memories of steak and family, I decided to come back with my girlfriend and switch it up. To start they give you this delicious bread to nibble on while you wait and the crust is so crunchy while it maintains a nice warm pillow of fluffiness on the inside. Some fine bread if I must say and by the time I was done, my real meal was presented. I tried the chicken this time around and it's surprisingly right up with the steak in terms of flavor. A light garlic sauce goes a long way with the simplicity of just a plate of chicken, but keep in mind that it's just a plate of chicken. They allow you one side item because it's an entree, so i got the sweet potato fries and they were pretty good. My girlfriend got the ravioli with vodka sauce and although there were only 6 pastas total, she said her meal was very filing. The creamy sauce was delightful, but she had to scrape off a lot of Parmesan cheese from the tops of her raviolis because it was rather overwhelming. Definitely a cozy Argentinian atmosphere and the food is great, just get prepared to spend a little more to match the quality of food that you get. I'm a satisfied customer that will indefinitely return.

Hackensack, NJ, is one of those older, poorer cities that tends to be visited during work hours and is a little dicey at night. But tucked away in downtown Hackensack, there is a little gem of a restaurant called Villa de Colombia.This Colombian has a modern, crisp, clean and comfortable decor and a solicitous, skilled wait staff. That's a nice base on which to build and a delicious menu completes a terrific dining experience. The shrimp in garlic butter had this little citrus finishing note that made them a delicious treat. They should use a larger shrimp, even if it adds to the price a little. At $8, it could take another hit for larger shrimp. The main courses were exciting. Bandeja Paisa, a very traditional Colombian dish, featured a crispy pork strip and a delicious steak with rice, beans and a fried egg on top. Very special. Villacol, a house specialty, is a perfectly prepared (medium rare) skirt steak accompanied by shrimp wrapped in crispy bacon and creamy smooth mashed potatoes. Villa de Colombia is a real treat, and very reasonably priced. Hackensack doesn't deserve its bad reputation, particularly when there's such a dining delight right in the center of the city.

I found their oily chips and watery salsa left an aftertaste in my mouth. They offered several appealing specialty Margaritas for less than $8.50. We had their Monday "All You Eat" special for $11.95 (children under 12; $6.95) featuring soup and 22 popular choices with rice and beans. The Lime soup was packed with chicken and chips and topped with melted cheese. My #10 watery taco contents sogged up the adjacent Chimichanga on plate. Both had plentiful chicken contents but little else was noteworthy. My spouse's #14 (one each chicken, ground beef, and cheese enchilada) were disappointing. Their rice was dry and their re-fried beans average. I closed on a high note with an excellent large, dense flan selected from their extensive dessert menu (for a Mexican restaurant). There's an expansive sports bar on one side and a large dining room on the other side of the entrance. The entrance to their parking lot comes up fast at the top of the hill on Rt 46 East immediately after the Outwater Lane overpass.

Colombian stables at this restaurant. They have their own bakery in the back. Service was good, they serve big portions for very little money. The food came out warm, not hot as i like it but good.

First. let me say that their participation in the airline miles dining program brought us here. Their front door is somewhat scary, like the entrance to a Speakeasy. The interior is dimly lit with a garish decor against a black ceiling. There were no prices listed on their specialty drinks menu. We ordered soft drinks and were brought a can of soda sand a bottle of Snapple; we had to ask for glasses of ice. Even though it was after lunch and there were only about 15 people present it took a long time for our entrees to arrive. It seemed even longer because no complimentary chips and salsa were provided to whet our appetites. My barely warm bland Chicken Enchiladas came on a hot plate with lots of lettuce. My spouse's Combo Fortaleza had nice seasoning although a somewhat salty flavor. The rice and beans were average. After the disappointing entrees, we skipped the $6 Flan. They have 1/2 price Happy Hour drinks and Nachos & Wings Mondays through Thursdays that would might motivate you to visit during that time. Just don't go with high expectations for other choices on the menu.

Very good appetizers. We had the empanada dish and the shrimp platter. The main courses were fair. Entree choice was Lahambra and Pechuga.. The safrin rice was dry and the lahambra was very salty. No sour cream provided. The pechuga was chicken stuffed with crabmeat. My dinner guest was not impressed. The service was excellent , although they only have (15) tables.

I visited this location expecting the same yummy delicious menu as the location in New Mildford. Let's start from the outside... If you are not familiar with the area and you follow the address listed on the website, you can get lost. The place is small for the amount of customers the restaurant serves. The food was between good and average... Nothing to compare with the New Mildford location. The only thing I can say if was really good, was the drink .... Passion Fruit Mojito
