We came to this Colombian restaurant after seeing it on an Instagram video, and I'm so glad we did!…read moreFrom the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the bright, beautiful, and brand-new establishment. They also have parking in the back, which is always a huge plus! When we arrived, there were only about three tables filled, but as the evening went on, more and more people started coming in. There was a steady flow of customers dining in, picking up takeout, and visiting their bakery. And let me tell you--the baked goods looked absolutely fabulous! I'll definitely be trying some next time. Our waiter, Joe, was fantastic! He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the entire evening. We started with the ceviche de chicharrón, and WOW--it was amazing! The combination of tostones, crispy chicharrón, the perfect amount of onions, and one of the best guacamoles I've had in quite a while made this an incredible appetizer. My husband ordered the fried fish, and it was so fresh and perfectly fried. It came with salad and tostones, and he absolutely loved it. My son and I both ordered the traditional Paisa dish, and the portions were HUGE! Everything on the plate was delicious and cooked perfectly. I added fried onions to my steak, and let me just say... THE BOMB! One more thing I forgot to mention--this restaurant is BYOB! Overall, we had a wonderful experience--from the food and portions to the service and atmosphere. We will definitely be back, and I can't wait to try more from their menu and bakery! Highly recommend giving this place a try!

Now, the food is a different story. There were 4 of us in the party and two out of the four entrees were disappointing. I had the carne llanera and this was by far the weakest dish out of the 4. The other plate that was ok, but not great was the churrasco montañero. The meat was not a good cut and had way too many fatty pieces. The entraña à la parrilla was by far the best of the 4. This one was well cooked and flavorful and a great cut of meat. The second one was the pechuga encebollada, this one was very good and the caramelized onions were perfectly cooked. We also had the empanada appetizer which was very good as well. The service wasn't bad, but they did get one of the orders wrong and we were half way through our dinner before the correct dish arrived. Rancho Mateo is a beautiful restaurant in a great location, but the inconsistency in the quality and flavor of the food makes it a one-and-done experience for me. There are much better options for Colombian food in the area.

"The palace of the empanadas" is adorned on the awning. They even were recently mentioned in NJ.com's top empanadas list. Colombian-style empanadas differ as they are fried in a corn base, usually stuffed with a potato filling, cheese and a meat. El Rinconcito Cafeteria is also great place for a hearty lunch if you can secure a seat, as it sometimes gets quite busy.

10/10 - Truly the best Colombian food around!…read more Sabor de Mi Tierra is absolutely top notch. We've been coming here since the pandemic -- they opened just a week before lockdown, and we supported them with takeout back then. Once we were able to dine in, we've been coming back nonstop ever since. The food is incredible, hands down the best Colombian food in the area (and honestly much better than Noches -- less salty, more flavorful, and always consistent). Everything is on point whether you come for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. My go-to is the carne asada con arepa y queso, and my wife always gets the huevos rancheros. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The service is just as amazing as the food. Every single server is kind, welcoming, and so sweet. Our favorites are Liliana and Jennifer -- total sweethearts. The owner, Carlos, is wonderful too. Every time we walk in, we feel like family. If you're in the area, you have to stop by Sabor de Mi Tierra. Incredible food, incredible people -- highly recommend!

The atmosphere was welcoming and lively. I was greeted promptly by a friendly young lady at the front and she suggested that I try the beef empanadas. They only cost a few dollars so I went ahead and bought two. So as I walked to the car, which was conveniently parked in the lot behind the restaurant, I immediately unwrapped my empanada. At first, I thought it was going to be like other empanadas that I've tried which have a crispy shell however these empanadas are similar in a way, but are very different in texture. These empanadas are a bit softer on the outside and have a denser inside filling which include potatoes and beef and it was quite delicious. I thought I could eat both of them, but after one I was full. I will definitely be back to the restaurant since I'm always in that area and it's literally five minutes from where I live. I can't wait to try other items on their menu.
