    4.50 for one corn empanada! That's a rip off, 5 for plaintain and you get about 5 so $1 per plaintain.

    Noches De Colombia is awesome. The food hits the spot every time; super tasty and fresh. The staff…read moreis really friendly and makes you feel right at home. And the vibe? Just perfect. Chill, fun, and a great place to hang out with friends or family. Definitely one of those spots you end up coming back to.

    We were coming back from the airport and the person we'd picked up hadn't had Colombian food in…read moremonths, so we stopped on the way south in Woodbridge. The location was packed and had a good vibe, and we only had to wait five minutes or so for a table. For a drink I got a Jugo de Lulo, a favorite of mine when I travel to Colombia, and it tasted nice, but seemed a little small compared to those I've had in other Colombian places. We ordered empanadas. My first empanada was not freshly cooked and lacked the snap in the masa that comes when it's right out of the fryer. Instead, the masa was rubbery and cool. The other empanadas and my second one were fine, so they'd unloaded an old one on us with our order. Since my wife got the Bandeja Paisa, and I knew I'd end up helping her to finish it off (the plate was typically massive) I ordered from the arepa menu and got an arepa with shrimp. It looked underwhelming on delivery as it was lacking the style and topping shown in the photo. It tasted fine, but wasn't anything special at all. The third member of our party ordered the shrimp and squid in cream, which she enjoyed. Then the staff got annoying when they tried to clear our plates away while we were still eating. We asked them to wait until we were all finished, but two minutes later we had to stop them again. They were literally trying to grab the plate in front of me while I was moving some of my wife's bandeja paisa to it. Finally, we asked for a takeout box, and they were hovering over the table waiting to clear it and actually started as I was loading the takeout box. It was as if they couldn't get us out of there fast enough. After all that, we couldn't get out of there fast enough either. FYI, be advised that tips were included in the bill even for our three-person party. It wasn't mentioned, but it was on the bill when we reviewed it before paying.

This time I called before I went, to find out the lunch special, and I was hung up on 3 times. I could hear someone on the line, but they didn't speak. My daughter and I decided to go anyway to see what was included in the special for the day. We ordered two drink specials, a lunch special, and an item on the lunch menu. The bartender took care of us as there weren't that many people in the restaurant. The food was really good, but then when it was time to pay, the server/bartender tried to make us pay regular dinner price for an item on the lunch menu. We ordered straight off the iPad with her help, but when it was time to pay, she tried to say the items weren't available even though we had showed her what we wanted directly from the IPad photo menu. She said we'd have to wait 20 minutes for a manager to help us. When the manager arrived (from another room), the server tried to say that the item wasn't available and then she tried to say that we had ordered a different meal than what was shown. It took us about 20 minutes to have our bill adjusted. Even though the food was very good, the customer service was not good in the least.

I would say the empanadas are my favorite out of everything here. Everything else was mediocre. These two dishes came out to be about $86 if use credit card.

    Went here with a friend, as I've had this spot on my "go to" list…read more Amazing all around! The place is a bit loud but lively. You were greeted and seated. I noticed all tables were set and had additional wine bottles and Saratoga water bottles. A great touch. As we sat, the "menu" was provided and when you open it it's an iPad. Amazing and you know that this place does not skip out on budget hahha. As you scroll through they have great images and selections that are categorized accordingly, I appreciated that. We ordered the chicharron civeche coz why not? Never had it and had to try it. Uh-mazing! The flavor, the texture, the combination of sauces. 10/10. Then we ordered the Colombian meat platter for 2. Again, amazing! The skirt steak, sausage, chicken, and pork all were cooked to perfection. Not dry, not bland... it was delicious! Our servers were also amazing and attentive. They came to our table enough to check in but not annoying. Very nice and friendly! Overall, I see why this is another gem in town. Check them out and support!

Delicious both, with portions that demand a doggy bag. My favorite sides are red beans and rice, also consistently great. MiLina is a very friendly place. We are always warmly welcomed. Servers are attentive and not overbearing. We do not speak Spanish and--on occasion--communication with a server has been slow, but always warm. The staff wants to please. The front room has music some nights and can be noisy, but the back rooms are quiet and service there is impeccable. On our last visit, our server overheard us talking about this meal being for our wedding anniversary. After our main course was cleared, we were presented with a dessert on the house. The plate read, in chocolate sauce, "Happy Anniversary" and was a lovely way to end the meal. MilIna has replaced our NYC go-to steakhouse. Great food and service, close to home.

    Went to Milina for Mother's Day brunch before our Mother's Day dinner. (Lot of eating going on on…read moreMother's Day!) We've been to Milina before but never reviewed them. Started out with coconut lemonade and a blood sausage appetizer that came with 2 mini arepas. It was our first time trying blood sausage and we were happy we did! Casing had a nice char and snap to it. Filling was well seasoned and delicious. Arepitas were light, crispy and had a very good sweet corn taste to them. Coconut lemonade was slightly tart which is how I like it and also had a sweet coconut finish to it. I would definitely order it again. For the entree we shared the Parradilla Milina Marinera which came with grilled steak, chicken, pork loin, shrimp and salted fried plantains. We added rice and beans. Grill taste on everything was terrific! Meats were tender and flavorful. Rice and beans were ok. They had free dessert for Mother's Day so my wife ordered chocolate cake which was delicious. It wasn't our first time at Milina and it definitely won't be our last. Servers were very attentive, courteous and accommodating.

    We visited this restaurant and had an interesting experience…read more The seats were soft and comfortable. The drinks were good--both the Coke and passion fruit drink were enjoyable. The chicken empanada was also good. However, the CANASTICAS (3) DE TOSTONES RELLENOS appetizer was disappointing. It was $10 for three tiny cups, which was not what we expected. It wasn't worth the price, and we could barely taste any plantain. I accepted the conclusion. We also ordered a side of FRIED PLANTIANS (tostones). We received only three pieces, and they were extremely thin--so thin they could bend like taco shells. They were not the traditional thick, crispy tostones we expected. My husband's BANDEJA PAISA was also disappointing. The chicharrón was thin, hard, and difficult to chew. The steak was thin but good. The beans- good. Sausage-ok. A lot of rice on the plate. Then the receipt came with an automatic 18% gratuity. We don't recall seeing this noted on the menu, although it may have been listed somewhere. We were only a party of two, so we were surprised to see an automatic gratuity added. Be sure to check your bill carefully so you don't accidentally leave an extra tip. Overall, the food and value did not meet our expectations. It's simply not for us, though it may match other people's expectations, and that's okay.

    Lola's Latin Bistro was the perfect private restaurant venue for my Dad's 60th surprise party for…read morewhich we had 50 guests. Owner, Shiv and Juan were communicative, knowledgeable, and accommodating throughout the planning process, during the party itself, and even after. At the time we hosted our party (July 2025), Lola's wasn't open for lunch so we had the whole restaurant (and patio!) to ourselves from noon to 4:30pm with a flexible set-up time prior to the party start. Guests arrived around noon with the surprise guest of honor arriving around 12:30pm. The connectivity from indoor space to outdoor patio takes this venue to the next level; perfect for a celebratory cigar and beautiful weather days. For set-up, we arrived around 11:15am and had plenty of time to set-up with help from the staff. What's incredible about Lola's owners and staff is that they don't just help you with anything and everything, they WANT to help you with anything and everything. They felt more like family friends than restaurant or venue staff. We could tell they truly cared about us, the party, and really wanted to make everything as special as possible. They helped us with everything from the exact table and chair arrangement in the room to decor and even a spotify playlist. Anytime we needed anything throughout the duration of the party they were eager and willing to help. Appetizers were served family style, then the entrees, then we did toast prior to dessert. For parties of 4 or more, they offer a sampling of their menu in a family style setting, $40 per person with Ropa Vieja (cooked beef stew to perfection over white rice) or $48 per person with skirt steak with 20% required for all reservations of 9 people or more. Some of the other menu favorites were the chorizo ajillo (Spanish sausage sauteed in garlic) and the salmon asado con mango caliente (grilled atlantic salmon with a mildly spiced mango glaze with pineapple salsa and polenta cakes). Everything was delicious. For drinks, it's BYOB. We provided red and white bottles of wine which were opened at our direction by the staff and placed on the tables and in ice buckets around the room. Additionally, one pitcher of Lola's signature red sangria was placed on every table, for which we provided Carlo Rossi Merlot (recommended by the owners, deliciously approved by me). One of my favorite things about Lola's for a party or special occasion is how colorful it is, leaving us with vibrant and lasting photographs and memories for years to come. As you can see from our photos, guests were smiling and happy with many complimenting us after the fact on what a fun and well done party it was. Highly recommend.

    Stopped by with my husband for dinner…read more There is a lot of parking space in the back. Upon arriving we got seated right away and the waiter came with the bread. It was alright and so was the tomato and olive oil. My husband ordered the steak and I ordered the glazed salmon. His food was so delicious! The meat was nice and tender. My husband loved the green sauce that came with it. My dish on the other hand.. the salmon was flavorless and the sauce was too sweet, whatever was underneath smelled weird. I thought it was a cake and my husband thinks Yucca, but I love Yucca. It was rectangle and the outside was hard and the inside crumbles like a muffin. He ended up finishing it for me. The place is ok. Bit on the louder side but that expected of a restaurant like this that most ppl show up with drinks and big groups of friends. Also the place is BYOB! Which is awesome. My rating is 3.5 they don't have halfs, if I could come back and get another dish I would do so and update my review. The staff was extremely nice!
