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 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.

We drove 30 minutes to have a celebratory dinner here on a Saturday night. El Tango in Hackensack is located on Main Street but there's little parking on this busy downtown street, even on a Saturday night. We did manage to find parking on the street and walk one block, which is good, as the area had lots of other restaurants and patrons in the area.The restaurant is nicely decorated with 2 large screen TV's where the patrons can watch futbol, and the music is very hip and contemporary. There are about 10 tables and the wait staff is very friendly.The menu is varied with choices of appetizers, salads, entrees and sides, with heavy emphasis on the meats, although there was a small selection of seafood and pasta options. Our party of 5 ordered a meat sampler (times two) and several sides, as well as a shrimp appetizer and empanadas appetizer. The appetizers were very good but the meat sampler was only mediocre. The short ribs were very tough, the blood sausage was only ok and the sausage was mediocre. What we really liked on the platter was the flank steak and grilled chicken, and the sweetbreads were surprisingly tasty.The sides were average - salad, tomatoes and red onion, potato salad and beet salad. I was very surprised at the beet salad which was basically a sliced hard-boiled egg tossed in red beets which were definitely from a can. I eat beets often and this is what they look like in a can.It's a BYOB which is nice as it saves you $$. Not sure I'd drive all this way to return but if I were to return, I'd only order the flank steak as an entree.

Excellent food in a delightful colorful setting.
Reviewed By Ken_NJ_11islands
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
