Our favorite was the chicharron, which was juicy and flavorful. However, the most disappointing was the steak. It was super dry and we could barely cut it with a knife. We have tried here twice now and still had a bad experience with the steak quality, so we will probably pass on this in the future. Street parking only.

When I was there, they had a DJ playing, and it added energy without being too loud or overwhelming. The Service was very good, the waiter answered and helped with all our questions. The food was absolutely amazing really flavorful and well done. Just be a little prepared that most dishes come in smaller portions. But the quality definitely makes up for it. I ordered the paella, and it's easily enough for two or even three people and it was well worth it. Really delicious. The drinks were also definitely worth trying while you're there. The only thing I wasn't big on was the desserts they didn't quite live up to the rest of the meal. But overall, great atmosphere, excellent food, and a fun experience. I'd definitely come back.

La Cocina is the classic Newark spot for Cuban eats!

All delicious, albeit a little salty to my taste. La Cocina is a popular catering spot for Rutgers events, so I have been fortunate to try a wide variety of offerings such as pastelon, pernil, and chicken stew -- and you can't really go wrong with any of them. The empanadas are also a must (make sure to ask for hot sauce), and while difficult, try to save room for dessert! Flan and tres leches are soooo good. Lunch time gets really busy, so you can avoid the rush by coming a little later. However, the staff is good about moving everyone along, so you won't be waiting forever. Definitely give La Cocina a try!

But the server was so patient with me and guided me through. I just wanted eggs and potatoes and chorizo. With her help, I didn't get potatoes but I go beans. I didn't know I was getting rice with my breakfast but even that was cooked perfectly and I ate it with my beans. The salsa was so fresh and spicy, took the rest home! The salad was great and the dressing a nice accompany, but I didnt even need it. I was so happy guys. So happy seeing all this food in front of me and having it be sooooo good. I never eat at places like this, as I am from California and I have pretty high expectations. But I'm so glad I saw their reviews and gave it a shot. Happiness. Neighborhood gem!

3.7 - TLDR: Solid colombian spot in Harrison. Food is average for price and a hit/miss at times…read more Some general pricing below for reference: $28 Bandeja paisa $15.50 typical plate w/ Maduro & grilled steak $1.75 pan de Bono/ bunuelos $4 Maduro con queso $6 chicharon $12 carne asada w/ rice and beans and Maduro or arepa They sell patacones, Colombian bread/pastries, empanadas, light apps, and rice dishes along with the usual coffee/drinks. I got the $15.50 typical plate with grilled beef. It was good, but i think they forgot to give me the maduros. Their $5-6 avena (oatmeal drink) is pre-made and is on a 75% sweetness level. Empanadas are on smaller end and pretty oily, but still solid general spot to get some Latin bites if you are around and craving it. Servers are nice and locals come all day since it is about 15 minutes walk from Harrison Path train station.

10/10 - Truly the best Colombian food around!…read more Sabor de Mi Tierra is absolutely top notch. We've been coming here since the pandemic -- they opened just a week before lockdown, and we supported them with takeout back then. Once we were able to dine in, we've been coming back nonstop ever since. The food is incredible, hands down the best Colombian food in the area (and honestly much better than Noches -- less salty, more flavorful, and always consistent). Everything is on point whether you come for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. My go-to is the carne asada con arepa y queso, and my wife always gets the huevos rancheros. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The service is just as amazing as the food. Every single server is kind, welcoming, and so sweet. Our favorites are Liliana and Jennifer -- total sweethearts. The owner, Carlos, is wonderful too. Every time we walk in, we feel like family. If you're in the area, you have to stop by Sabor de Mi Tierra. Incredible food, incredible people -- highly recommend!

So I was walking back from UPS and decided to stop in and grab a bite. Once I walked in, I was hit…read morewith the amazing sense of all the delicious food that was cooking. The atmosphere was welcoming and lively. I was greeted promptly by a friendly young lady at the front and she suggested that I try the beef empanadas. They only cost a few dollars so I went ahead and bought two. So as I walked to the car, which was conveniently parked in the lot behind the restaurant, I immediately unwrapped my empanada. At first, I thought it was going to be like other empanadas that I've tried which have a crispy shell however these empanadas are similar in a way, but are very different in texture. These empanadas are a bit softer on the outside and have a denser inside filling which include potatoes and beef and it was quite delicious. I thought I could eat both of them, but after one I was full. I will definitely be back to the restaurant since I'm always in that area and it's literally five minutes from where I live. I can't wait to try other items on their menu.

The chicken and shrimp lacked flavor. We also ordered yuca fries that's you can tell they were from a frozen package. Barley tastes like yuka. Those plates plus the appetizer. One water and one pineapple smoothie. Was $80.... Without including the gratuity that was %15. ALSO they charge to go boxes and bags for $1... Overall the amount we payed was too much for me. I also hate places that over portion their food for a normal portion. People were nice and friendly. That's the one star they get.
