A view of the counter. Very clean place.
John S.

Given the location, this place is worth stopping by. Not the largest interior, but very clean and good food with a decent menu.

Menu
Marta F.

I came to this spot after seeing their Facebook advertisement for Lobster Weekend -- and I'm so glad I did! I ordered for pick-up and was immediately greeted by the girl at the counter who was very friendly and attentive. Great customer service -- I wish I had gotten her name! The place itself is small, with a hole-in-the-wall feel, but has a modern, contemporary vibe and great lighting. Limited seating, but cozy, and it's BYOB! I ordered the lobster bisque (honestly one of the best I've ever had), lobster tacos, lobster mac & cheese, and the twin lobster tail specials. Everything was incredibly fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. The food was so good, I didn't even realize I forgot to take pictures until I was completely done! I can't wait to go back and try more from their menu.

Sweet Chili Shrimp Bowl

Very small but nice spot music playing very welcoming. I ordered two bowls pineapple express and sweet chili shrimp added chicken to it. Also ordered fried ravioli and jalapeno poppers , first off if you order a bowl no need to order anything else the bowls are huge. They shrimp are jumbo and cooked perfectly. The jalapeno poppers and ravioli were good as well, we really enjoyed the food will definitely go back and try some other food.

Quesadillas
Viktoria M.

What a great place!!! Always an entertainment, food is outstanding made from scratch, worth to wait a little. We got to try quesadillas which were outstanding, also chicken wings and few other delicacies off the menu. I can't wait to go back to try some burgers this time! Definitely must go and visit Hector and his tiny joint. Well worth it. And it's BYOB

We all really enjoyed a late lunch and everything we ate...cheesesteak pizza was lovely, birria taco delish, quesadillas, penne and vodka sauce...all very good. The service was great and friendly. A nice clean environment, cutely decorated... I would say Hector's Bistro is a do not miss! Highly Recommend!

Original Chicken Quesadilla
Ames P.

You had me at quesadilla! Hector's Bistro has quickly become my family's go-to takeout joint! The variety of food, reasonable pricing and exceptional customer service is unmatched! Hector's ability to chef up mouthwatering food makes this Bistro a complete gem! So far we've ordered the chicken, birria, shrimp, jerk chicken & Polish quesadillas, as well as the jalapeño poppers... all of which were nothing short of amazing! Can't wait to continue to explore the rest of the menu!

Interior decor
Steven B.

This is a very interesting place. The food we had was excellent, the buildout of this restaurant is welcoming. Small place with BYOB for dine in service is appreciated. Many people were ordering and picking up food for take out. So the volume of meals being served is impressive. The menu has a great variety of dishes with a strong and varied quesadilla selection. I recommend giving it a try.

Beef Chili Mac & Cheese

Great food, nice atmosphere, family friendly, BYOB, convenient locate and friendly employees You won't be disappointed.

Tropical Shrimp Quesadilla
Elizabeth S.

First time here but we will definitely be back. They are doing big things in a little space. Great food, super friendly staff and huge portions. The menu offers something for everyone with some surprisingly unique options.

Sautéed shrimp and pan seared scallops over yummy rice and veggies

Jalapeno patty melt
Alicia O.

Place looks amazing... we had chipotle wings and I got the bacon ranch chicken sandwich and we also had the patty melt! Jessica was very sweet and Nick and Hector were a great team!

French Onion Burger. You like the soup youll love this burger for sure.

I grew up on Noches de Colombia. I used to patron Noches when it was a Hudson County hole in the…read morewall. Since then, the brand has traveled down to Central Jersey, and its most recent incarnation has been in Perth Amboy. For those in the know, Noches de Colombia can look, feel, and taste differently depending on which one you go to. This new Perth Amboy location is what the youth call "a vibe." The decor manages to be somehow moody and vibrant at the same time. They have an impressive space for watching games with a crowd, intimate corners for privacy, and a casual outdoor seating for kicking back after a long work week. The food at all Noches locations tends to be reliable and safe. There's no "bad" food at any Noches, but some locations just happen to serve better food than others. Perth Amboy's food was excellent. The chefs here really know how to stick the landing, and the bartenders have served up some creative but elegant cocktails that neither old fashioned nor trendy. This is a mature but exciting cocktail menu! Last but not least: the service. I dined with my family in the early evening, right before the Friday turn up. The music was mellow and the service staff was truly hospitable. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. When he offered to upgrade our orders with top shelf alcohol or a finer cut of meat, it felt like a genuine attempt to make our dining experience better. It never felt like he was reaching in my pocket. Everyone, from the hostess to the bus boys to the manager on duty were attentive and pleasant. They left no room for error.

Growing up in Hudson County, I have been to and seen my fair share of Noches Restaurants, and this…read morelocation has to be, by far, the best one I have been in! I was taken back by how beautiful the inside was! My favorite dish has always been the Mar y Mar with white rice and maduros, and they did not disappoint. I was very happy I encountered this location as it is only 20 minutes from me. I've already decided I'm going there to eat inside within the next few weeks. It also looks like they have outdoor seating for when it's nice outside or over the summer. For a location that has only been around for less than 18 months, I'm sure this place will thrive! Can't wait to see it's progress flourish!

However, the flavors were definitely there, which is what matters most. I tried the alcapurria, and while it was decent, I've had better. The chicken inside was a little dry and could have used more seasoning and flavor. On the other hand, the chicken empanada was really good. The chicken was tender, flavorful, and had a nice seasoned taste that stood out. That's definitely something I would order again. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of my lunch, but I also ordered pernil with rice and gandules, as well as baked chicken with rice and gandules. As someone who loves pernil, I have to say that Puerto Ricans make some of the best pernil. It's always well-seasoned, flavorful, and tastes clean rather than overly greasy. The pernil here did not disappoint. The rice and gandules were also very good. While it doesn't quite compare to my husband's aunt's homemade version, it was still packed with flavor and complemented the meal perfectly. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would come back to try more items from the menu. If you're in the area and craving Puerto Rican food, I think it's worth giving this place a try.
