Our lady server was so personable and always answered our questions with a big smile. We met the owner who was as friendly as his staff! Excellent service is always a plus!

This restaurant is highly recommended and they close at 10 pm most days, so if you're still out and about at a later time, this is definitely a good place to get some delicious food!

First time at a Colombian restaurant with a couple friends who like to explore a different foods…read more We tried empanadas, chorizo, and then got a large meat platter, which had steak, chicken, pork and chorizo along with french fries and baked ground potatoes, it was four people, and the three of us could not finish it, and would feed5. Overall, the food was OK, the presentation of the fish at another table looked very nice, but the style of food is not really seasoned and so it's a relatively non-gastronomic meal but you leave feeling full. Maybe I expected more because I like Mexican and Thai food, but went into it with an open mind. It was clear that a lot of local Latinas went there, and that is a good sign that it fits the cultural expectation. So if you are Latina and know what to expect it is a good restaurant to try

This was our third visit to El Familiar. Today was Father's Day 2026…read more First, my daughter had made reservations for 15. They didn't hesitate. We showed up at 12:30 pm. We were seated almost immediately. The restaurant had just a few tables occupied. The restaurant was clean, quiet and our seating was spacious. We were promptly attended to. Second, we were given a Father's Day menu which was a very abbreviated version of their usual menu. Our server was quick to point out that if there was anything we wanted that was on the normal menu that we remembered, all we had to do was ask. We were delighted. We placed our drink orders. We were given plenty of time to review the menu and discuss what else we might want from the regular menu. We placed our orders. The wait for our meals was commensurate with the number of people. The food arrived piping hot. Everyone was served within minutes. The food was absolutely delicious and the portions enormous. I ordered 2 appetizers thinking they were going to be reasonable. I fed most of the table while still having enough for myself. Needless to say, to-go containers were necessary. Last, I want to say again that this was my and my wife's third visit. Each time we were served and attended to by Danna (?). I can't say enough positive things about her. She was attentive, friendly, warm, patient and very happy and helpful. She was very accepting even though I was doing my best with my high school Spanish. For my wife and me, I will ask for Danna to be our server and will be as much of a regular patron as possible. I would highly recommend El Familiar. You can't beat the ambiance, food quality and service.

This is a great place with authentic cuisine. We started with the chicken Empanadas which were crispy on the outside and full of delicious flavors on the inside. I'm sorry we didn't try the beef and cheese ones...maybe next time. The seafood paella was full of shrimp, octopus, mussels and chorizo over seasoned rice with fried onions, red peppers and peas. The chorizo was so good I got a few to take home. The ropa vieja was beef which was slow cooked to the point of falling apart and melting in your mouth with potatoes and a side of rice. There were three in my party and we all had at least seconds and still had some leftovers. Very enjoyment meal and would recommend.

And, our portions were big enough to enjoy the deliciousness at another meal. Would return without hesitation!

This is to report a serious health and sanitation concern…read more On Friday, January 16, 2026, at approximately 12:26 PM, I was inside the establishment when I observed a roach crawling on the wall. An employee, who appeared to be the manager on duty (as she was older and seemed to be overseeing the shift), attempted to kill the roach. When she grabbed it with a napkin, the roach fell onto the table. The employee then killed the roach and disinfected the table. However, this same employee had taken my order and continued handling service immediately after the incident. The food was served, but none of it was consumed due to the health concern. There was one other younger employee present, but they were not involved in the incident. Camera footage should confirm this event, as it would show the employee killing something on the wall during this time. Due to the seriousness of the situation, I also contacted the Health Department to report this incident.

I've been passing this establishment ever since January. Having dined at other Noches locations…read more(Dover, which has closed and I was not crazy about their overcooked food) and Belleville/Bloomfield, which was very good. I decided to give this one a try. I finally broke down and stopped in for lunch on Saturday March 8. The place wasn't crowded. It's a bit spacious but not many tables. My first thought was that it would be hard to get a table at dinner time. I was seated immediately and my order came right away. The server was very seeet and friendly and always checked on me. I ordered a paellita noches with black beans as well as tostones (fried green plantains) I received the paellita that came with maduros (fried sweet plantains). I ordered black beans but Instead I got red beans. I let it go. The paellita was good and a huge portion. I had to take half home. I didn't care for the red beans. They were a bit tasteless. The tostones were bland and a bit too greasy. I added salt and dipped them in the beans. (I'm PR and we add salt as soon as the fried plantains come out the fryer so that it sticks or serve it with mojo). Tostones do not taste good bland. I may go again and try some different items, skip the tostones and make sure that I get my black beans. I'll update this review depending on my experience when I return.

Should be 2 stars. But the food was absolutely fantastic, couldn't put it down…read more My problem was that when we went to pick it up, it took 45 minutes to get there with traffic (which is fine), but when I went in the owner or manager said "it will be another 15 or 20 minutes". When I said "are you serious?" He said "if you have a problem with that cancel, it doesn't matter to me." I'm sure there were mobile orders I could not see, but on that particular night there were 13 people in the restaurant by my pickup. All said and done, food was great but they forgot their signature green sauce across the board, even though we had asked for it specifically (outside of what came with it). So about 65 minutes to get great food, with a manager who could care less.

This place is off the chain when it comes to delicious comida Latino (Latino food). There are so…read moremany options to choose from, but I chose to go with my staples to see if I wanted to adventure through the menu at a future point in time. Turns out, yes...I definitely will be adventuring into this menu because everything that my family and I ordered was perfectly prepared. No one felt disappointed with their meals. It's my birthday weekend, and my family wanted to get dinner after a long day of hanging out. We are a blended Latino family, so naturally, we sought out the closest Latino restaurant still open (we decided to eat pretty late). Luckily, Yelp guided us to Sabor Latino. My little sister is still in college so since she had a test she needed to run home to do, we decided to order our entrees to go and had some empanadas de Pollo (chicken empanadas) while we waited about an hour for our to go order because my sister decided to order the Paella which is cooked fresh when ordered so it takes a while. Tip: Call ahead if you plan on ordering paella. I wish I had taken pictures of the food when I got back home. But in my family, I am the one who runs around gathering all the plates, utensils, and drinks for everyone. By the time I sat down to the dinner table, my family was already halfway done eating their first serving. They were hungry, but the food was also delicious, so they couldn't help themselves. The servings allowed for each of us to have leftovers that we are excited for. Tonight, I tried their grilled chicken, which was perfectly prepared. Next time, I definitely will be trying their churrasco. And I will definitely be ordering more empanadas. These empanadas must have been the best empanadas I have tasted in this country (America) for a long time. I can see myself becoming a regular here because of the food and the friendly service. I am happy that this place turned out to be my birthday dinner restaurant with my family. It was perfect. Next time, I promise to take pictures of everything. The ambiance is super cute, too, with several photo Ops.
