I Give it to them , went out their way to make it up to me and well worth it. Everything was delicious, soft and tender, with the extra. The service their Everytime just vibrant colorful , make me feel like I'm in PR even though it's Colombian. The sauces on the side a cute little extra flavor. I def give this meal 3.8 outta 5 . It is such a different texture feel style but as long as you have love for food to innovate it it will all come together and that's exactly what this plate does. read more

OK, tonight we tried Mendoza's for the first time. It definitely will not be the last time. We loved it. We took it to go so my photo is a splitting two different dishes at home because we want to watch a movie so we eat at home tonight. Next time we will eat there. The food was fantastic particularly the fresh Empanadas. They have both beef and chicken and the hot sauce is fantastic to come with it. Everything is homemade and you could see it. We ordered Arroz con pollo, it was the first time I had ordered that in a Colombian restaurant. It was great, so different than the way I make it (Puerto Rican). it is served with yellow rice has peas and carrots and it's well seasoned, the chicken is shredded and mixed in. Delicious and very different. We also had a Caribbean platter that had steak, arroz Blanco, a delicious sausage and beans with avocado on the side. we also ordered fresh juices, one black raspberry (mora) and one guanabana. You can tell that they have a loyal following and that they care about the way they serve the food because it is all delicious and presented very nicely. They have gained another loyal customer. read more

We met another couple while dining out and the gentleman was born in Columbia but raised in Jersey, however he still visits his native country. His tip for us was to give Mendozas a visit if we are looking for authentic Columbian food including their empanadas. So we did just that last night and we're blown away by the taste and flavors of their cuisine. Every dish sampled was outstanding. The service and ambience were just okay but who cares, you go here for the food. See my attached pics and then put them on your bucket list.. read more

Sancocho de costillas was good . Breaded chicken entree was generous. The buñuelos were so good. Coffee was okay and the Latin music was good just loud enough. The beautiful Colombian art on the walls was nice and so was the service. Outside there was a little outdoor socializing drinking but it wasn't disruptive. Sort of made me feel like I was in Cartagena Colombia where everyone sits in the front of their house to drink talk and dance. Kudos to the owners for bringing Colombian culture and food to this community. Pretty packed so pretty sure they are keeping their customers happy. read more

First time trying this restaurant. Being from North Jersey we were used to a wide diverse selection of restaurants and missed the Peruvian and Columbian food we've come to love and enjoy. We found this restaurant very cozy and welcoming besides being near full. We were sat almost immediately and offered menus. We are used to the type of food these restaurants offer but some things were a bit different. We each ordered the same dish with mixed sides and were pleased with everything! The food was delicious as well as plentiful and we both took home more than half of our dishes. The following weekend we Door Dashed two more meals that were equally tasty and plentiful. If you don't mind diverse crowds with wonderful service, you have to try this place. We're already planning our next visit. read more

My coworker recommended this place so I decided to do take out. Walked in the restaurant and it was busy yes it's a little small in there but not a table was empty so I knew the food was going to be good. It took about 20 mins for them to prepare my food so that was not bad. The place smelled delicious and when I got my order the aroma that filled my car had my mouth watering. Got home the food was delicious I just would have preferred my chicharron should have been fried a little more crispy. Needless to say I will return. read more

Was excited to try this restaurant as heard great reviews, was extremely disappointed. The menu was difficult to figure out and unfortunately the waitress was hard to understand. We ordered two platters. My friend ordered a beef platter which had good flavor but was tough and difficult to chew. I ordered the ribs with corn fritters and sweet plantains. The ribs were gross - full of tasteless chewy fat that I couldn't rip w/my teeth! The corn fritters was dry and equally tasteless. Sweet plantains were ok. Left hungry and will not be back. read more

Love at first sniff! Walked into the restaurant and everything smelled delicious. That with the display case of empanadas and breads made me 10x hungrier than when I was in the parking lot. Stuck to my plan of the stuffed arepas (chicken and avocado) with maduros. Delicious and gluten free. Just the right amoung of grilled char on the arepa and not too much cheese. I wasn't sure if the sauces were gluten free but they smelled amazing. I cant wait to come back. read more

Ordered takeout through DoorDash from here, and chose the pick up option. Food took longer than anticipated by the app, but it was well worth the wait. Staff were pleasant and attentive, providing me with occasional updates on wait time. I was able to catch of glimpse of the restaurant while waiting, and it is updated, clean, and spacious. Wait staff moved with urgency, keeping all customers happy. Once I got home with my takeout, I was very pleased with everything. The buñuelos (large cheese fritters) were particularly good as an appetizer, and I thoroughly enjoyed my mar y tierra (skirt steak & shrimp) entree. After going with the takeout option from here, I look forward to a sit down experience in the future! read more

$28 for 2 fruit salads. The only fruit that the salad had is what you can see in this picture, the rest of the "salad" was ice cream. The pieces of fruit had a after taste of fried food that was very uncomfortable considering that there wasn't a enough fruit on the bowl. Not the first time that I go into the restaurant & I've been underserved on my food. read more

First, I want to make it clear that the waitresses were wonderful -- attentive, kind, and hardworking. My issue is not with the staff, but with the way management handled the billing and gratuity situation. Both times, my bill should have been around $66, yet I was charged about $85 because gratuity had already been added. I didn't realize this at first and was also leaving an additional 20% tip on top of it. I feel this is misleading to customers, especially for such a small bill where automatic gratuity is uncommon. When I questioned it, the owner came out and explained the gratuity policy in a very confrontational and dismissive manner instead of handling the concern professionally. I tried to explain that either the servers are not receiving enough directly, or customers are unknowingly overpaying because the gratuity is not made clear enough. At the end, I adjusted my payment by removing the extra $17 tip I had intended to leave and kept the automatic gratuity charge of $12. I also placed an additional $5 cash tip in the envelope specifically for my waitress because she truly deserved it. What upset me even more was seeing the owner immediately take that cash and place it into the general tip box. Again, the servers were excellent. My disappointment is entirely with management's handling of customers and gratuities.

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.

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 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.
