THE FOOD ----------------…read more+ El Rumberito - Delicious sampler had a combination of different tapas - Ham Croquette, Corn Tamale, Beef Empanada, Corn Fritters, Crispy Pork Bites and a Beef Stuffed Potato Topped With Pickle Red Onions. Definitely a good way to try everything. + Poquito de Todo - The sampler of entrees here! Literally, a little bit of everything - roasted pork, shredded beef, steamed cassava with mojo, sliced avocado, one fried egg & fried sweet plantains - and it was alllll delicious. + Lechon Asado - The lechon was excellent! Some dry pieces here and there, but most of it was juicy and had oil slathered on it. There was a large piece of delicious, crispy skin on top and it came with 1 side. + Sandwich Cubano and Fries - Solid Cuban sammie. Bread was extra crispy and the sammie was well put together.

He remembered every request we had. ++++ Food arrived quickly and fresh. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Big restaurant with plenty of tables and seats. + Simply, but nicely decorated inside. + Private parking lot outside and it's valet, however, if you arrive at opening, you can park in the lot before the valet arrives. There are street parking spots available too. + Restaurant is located right off of NJ-21. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Arrived right at opening on a rainy, summer Saturday morning at 11:30 AM and, of course, we were the first customers inside. We stayed till about 1 PM and there were about only 6-7 tables occupied during our time there, however pretty sure evenings are a wholeeee different story (and much livelier).

The restaurant is BYOB, which we appreciate. We had some delicious Beef Empanadas for an appetizer. They were well filled and served with a tasty dipping sauce. My husband had the Picana Steak with Chimichurri Sauce and White Rice with Black Beans. I had the Sancocho. I absolutely loved this dish. Loved all the different textures and flavors. There is not a ton of meat, but it is very inexpensive. I was still full and satisfied after eating. My husband was very pleased with his dish as well.

My husband ordered a chicken empanada and it was filled with chicken and rice and not fully fried. When I asked the server to fry it some more, she brought a new one out that was a bit more fried but just as pale as the first one. The inside was not tasty at all and it was definitely not colombian. Then there was the stale Colombian beef empanadas. These were probably the worst of all. We also ordered a bread that we asked if it was filled with cheese, the server said yes....and it had ham and cheese, so my son did not eat it. This could've just been a miscommunication, but most places tend to clarify when it is not just cheese, but also includes something else with it. The menu is very small, so I decided to order a burger which was made with pulled beef and was actually delicious. They also have Colombian style scrambled eggs and coffee which my husband liked. If it's just based on food I would say it was 50/50 your chances of getting something tasty, but because the service was not attentive or friendly (we were the only people in the cafe for awhile), it is not a place I would return to. Maybe it was just an off day?

I did a little work and if I lived in the area, this would be my go to place to bring my laptop. I can't wait to go back and try other things on the menu. The footlong Philly cheese steak was very good and you can share that with two people because it's big! Unless you're super hungry! The owner let me record him making an espresso and that was really cool! I highly recommend you try this coffee shop.
