    Half chicken w/ rice, fries. Dine-in. The fries were very good--tasted like Homemade fries! The yellow rice was excellent to the T, it had a great texture & the chicken was cooked very well--it had very good flavor. Authentic Colombian BBQ, food was just great, that's real food. Service was good, the lady was nice & greeted me well & the food came quick. I liked the atmosphere it made me feel good, it was modern & clean. Thank you guys. I appreciate you. Great lunch.

    A modest looking restaurant that serves up big flavor and big portions is a win in my book. This Colombian place ticks off all the right markers in making it a local fav. First off it's not pretentious. It's a small restaurant that a customer is better off doing take-out than eating in. Next the wonderful aroma of simmering meats over fire is intoxicatingly good. Then the humongous portions all for a very reasonable price is vonderbar. And last but not least the flavor coming out of the dishes served is nothing short of heart-cloggingly delicious. Located on Washington Street in Belleville, this unassuming restaurant is perhaps a local gem. I would have never known about it unless I checked in to Popeye's across the street and decided to look on Yelp for which places were around. Garnering a solid 4 stars from 11 reviews I wanted to give it a try. Thankfully I did because this is a great spot to get some delicious Colombian food to feed an army, or two, of hungry people. The first time I visited I ordered two combination platters: chicken and beef ribs and chicken and beef steak. Incredible portion size and bursting with straight-from-the-grill flavor. A generous--and I truly mean generous--portion of rice and french fries accompanied each platter. I was amazed how much food I got for such a reasonable price. I have also been able to try their meat combo platter. Okay are you ready for what this baby offers. Here it goes: french fries, rice, plantains, steak, pork ribs, chicken, pork sausage, and chicharron. Yeah baby! Imma let you sit on that for a while. Okay you back? Cool. Only complaint that I had though was the darn chicharron was NOT crispy. I felt like I was chewing a piece of bone. I wanted to call myself Rover and bark. Aside from that small oopsie everything was off the grill...haha see what I just did there.

    Good weather, bbq, Yes Please! We ordered takeout today and I was salivating thanks to the yelp raving reviews. The fam and I ordered lunch and we had the Chicken and Ribs combo! I will say this.... The pork ribs and sweet plantains were GREAT!!! IMO the chicken was a bit dry and lacked flavor and the fries blahhhh. The portions were awesome and we got tons of food for $19. The fam enjoyed the food and everyone had the same reactions to fries. I will def give this place another try as maybe I caught them on an off day.

    First time eating here came today to have lunch with my friend. I always go to the Family Dollar across the street and I smell the barbecue !! smell so good I was very curious about it. It is a little hole in the wall but the people of friend friendly and the food is plentiful. The barbecue is perfect the ribs Christiana outside and tender on the inside chicken is perfect rice is perfect and the sleep lenses is perfect great spot to eat. I have a plate is $8 a double plate is $15. I have a plate is enough to eat for 2 people. Cheap eats.

    Such a wonderful little treat my family and I happened to stumble upon today in Nutley, NJ…read more My family and I were helping out some locals with a job and we got hungry for lunch. We asked some people nearby for a reasonably priced seafood spot and we were told to try out Stephanie's. I was skeptical at first because the restaurant priced itself on bbq meats and since today is Good Friday, Catholics abstain from meat to commemorate Christ's' sacrifice on the cross. It sounded like we'd be better off heading somewhere else, however the locals who were also Christian insisted on the spot. Thankfully we gave it a try and it was absolutely worth the price and travel to try it out. It was a cute and festive interior and honestly a really cool hidden gem. I was extremely content with the portioning and quality and flavors I was given on my plate. The seasoned olive oil with fried garlic on the side was literally put on everything by family and I. 100% recommend. Next time I'll be back for regular bbq'd meats!

Portuguese-style barbecue, with charcoal-grilled meats fish, and chicken, beef ribs, and skirt steak, along with sides like rice, beans, veggies, and fries, and appetizers such as empanadas. I would try the Salmon soup and the branzino platter with a side of plantains..... Deliscious...worth going. I will go back.

Once I arrived, the interior was clean and inviting. The woman there was very nice and best of all, our order was ready when I got there. My son and I shared the Mac and cheese balls. These were surprisingly good. They weren't your blasé typical appetizer. They taste in house made and came with a hot side cup of dipping cheese. Really a good start. For dinner my son got the rib eye cheese steak sandwich with no onions and peppers. He gave me a thumbs up. The bread was nice and soft. I only know this because I moved it to take a picture. I got the half Chicken with rice and beans. Skin on the chicken was crispy and the chicken was juicy. Came with a side of green sauce to dip. Price was very affordable. I hope they get a good jump start and keep the quality right where it is because this has a ton of potential. You can dine in as well if you wanted to.
