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.

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.
