Hector's is a very small bistro that opened a little over one year ago. Gotta mention that we've ordered delivery 4 months ago. That said, finally popped in today for a lunch order. When you first walk in, there is a small table for 2 off to your left if you care to dine in. Plus about 6 or 7 bar stools along a small rectangular counter. For lunch, we shared an order of Crab Fries. They were just ok. She had the Bistro Sandwich. That was grilled chicken, mozzarella,roasted red peppers, sautéed spinach, mushrooms and a dressing. I chose the Shrimp Po' Boy. Both were delicious. Truth be told, we both only had a half. The other half was our dinner. This place is very easy to miss on Route 35 N. Also they are open late till 1:00 AM on Friday/Saturday. Good for those who want comfort food late at night. As always, Enjoy read more

I just happened to stumble upon Hector's bistro while visiting a friend. And let me tell you this place was spectacular! Not only was the food delicious but Hector himself was awesome. He treated me and my friends with the upmost hospitality. And he was even kind enough to give us some recommendations because we were not sure what to order. But the quesadillas that he recommended to us were spectacular and the chicken wings would to die for. I highly recommend that you get your butt to Hector's bistro as soon as possible. Because the food is incredible and so is Hector. Keep up the good work Hector because you now have customers for life! read more

Came here a couple timed for takeout and love the food here! Only one chef in the kitchen but everything is prepared fresh and with quality ingredients. Forgot to take a pic but I always get the cuban quesadilla! I haven't had the chance to try anything else cause I keep ordering the same thing. Small parking lot but the food and service is worth it! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

By far the best food in the area!! Hector the cook interactions with the customers is fantastic and always a great staff!!

I found this incredibly cool, but innocuous looking Lunch spot, on Yelp! It is situated alongside a busy highway. Hector's is a small, snack bar-looking place ... a tiny enclave with a wraparound lunch counter, a few round metal window stools ... and an absolutely enormous menu! The food options are seemingly endless! And quite innovative, I might add. Hector's offers over 100 different overstuffed burgers, burritos, quesadillas, sandwiches ... even a few salads. Plus, an entire page devoted to some epic sounding Mac n' Cheese and "Loaded Fries" combos. My son ordered an epic sounding Loaded Mac n' Cheese combo, featuring too many ingredients to mention. I ordered a Chipotle Chicken Quesadilla, which was stuffed with crispy chicken, peppers, and at least a half pound of queso. Both dishes were huge, and decidedly delicious. To top it off, the service was terrific, served up by a super attentive & friendly young lady from PR. Hector, the Owner & Chef even took a few minutes away from the grill to BS with the half dozen happy customers sitting at the counter. All in all, one of the more enjoyable surprise lunches I have had since moving to Jersey ... in 1999! lol read more

The food has always been incredible and is made with a ton of heart! Looking forward to many more quesadillas!

1.The food - was basic, missed the mark. Wasn't flavorful. 2.The menu- no options for kids which is fine, understandable but this is an FYI for parents. They have other options for adults, variety of stuff. 3.The service- waitress was nice but not very attentive. We ordered water and didn't get it til we got the food. And then we were charged for it and when we asked, she said she gave us bottle water. Didn't realize cause it came in a regular cup... and I don't mind paying but tell us ahead I guess would've been the helpful part. 4.The attitude from the chef- why is this even a thing in my list? Well... he was loud and we heard him. When our orders were given to him, he was very loud and said "we don't have it, we are out. It's 8p and we close at 1" . He was talking about our that came with the meal & I get it- they were out but the way he went on and on and his tone was kinda nasty, not appealing for us paying customers. 5. Accommodations- Our option to sub the fries was coleslaw or pickles OR pay for the up charge of curly fries. I kept thinking why not give us the curly fries to replace the reg vs a pickle- that made no sense to me. Fries would replace fries- even if you ran out of reg fries, that's not my problem. I would think the solution would be to take the hit because you ran out and not charge us for upgraded fries. I told the server to just give me the fries on my order and to just give my son the sliders . They put the fries on my sons plate which is whatever, we are sitting togeher but again, not following orders- my sons whole meal was just we took him to McDonald's after to make up for it. 5.Following very simple requests for food- told them to just make my son's food (sliders) with no veggies , no horseradish and they gave him all of that. What did we order? - Pineapple Express bowl, braised beef sliders & a panini read more

Tried Hector's Bistro for the first time and it did not disappoint! The al pastor tacos were tender, flavorful, and had just the right amount of spice. The chipotle quesadilla was cheesy with a nice smoky flavor, and the sweet potato fries were perfectly crispy--super addictive. On top of that, the music was great and the ambiance was perfect--laid-back but lively, just the right vibe for a chill night out. Everything was fresh, portions were generous, and I'll definitely be back! read more

Awesome chicken quesadilla. Extremely Friendly service. Hector told me how much I'd love the food as he was cooking and he was right.

Great atmosphere. Incredible tacos and bowls. Friendly service. Totally worth the wait. BYOB. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Stopped in for lunch and was blown away by the menu. The number of choices to pick from were plentiful indeed. The customer service was so warm and welcoming. The food was topnotch! We ordered the chilli cheese burger. It was insane! Deliciously insane! Our side of French fries was enough for 4 people. The chicken quesadilla was the best that I've ever had. Hector's Bistro is awesome. We highly recommend it for a quick lunch, the family or a Friday night take out. You won't be disappointed. read more
