I was sitting there, clearly waiting, and continued to be ignored as others were taken ahead of me. There was no explanation, no acknowledgment, and no attempt to correct it.

I will not be returning and hope management addresses how customers are prioritized and treated.

I ended up having dinner here on a whim, had planned to watch the World Cup in Elizabeth but it was…read moreabsolutely packed at the popular Colombian spots and after driving around a bit, we gave up and on a whim stopped here to watch the game. There were some fans also watching and cheering, but it was much calmer which is perfect for me anyway. The service was very friendly, I enjoyed my maduros and the Bandeja Paisa was large enough to share too. Rice was seasoned, beans were tasty, chicharron crispy / just right. The steak was what you would expect, thin but wasn't chewy. The sausage was bursting with flavor and tasty seasoning. We also had a few pastries but it was the end of the night so they probably would have been better in the morning. Overall a good time, family friendly spot and I'd recommend stopping in. Oh- my chicken empanada was also really yummy even though I ordered beef and had to ask twice because they forgot it. But I didn't let them know it was the wrong one because when I bit into it I really liked it!

Everything is super yummy; we ordered the Churrasco and it was cooked to perfection; the Lomo Saltado was sooo yummy that I eat it first and then ate my rice and sweet plantains. The kids meal portions are sooo generous that even an adult can order it and be satisfied; my kids ordered the " Bandeja Paisa" which is rice w/red beans; steak; fried egg; sweet plantains and Fried Pork; the Steak and Fries. We also ordered the "Red Snapper" which I was a little hesitant due to I'm from the Caribbean and I have high standards when it comes to seafood; and the fish fried to perfection; fish was crunchy and well seasoned. Our server was the sweetest and most attentive server we've ever had; making sure we had everything we needed. This restaurant had really nice outdoor seating if you wish to eat outdoors. Another thing is this place is super clean!! The bathrooms are impeccable!! Definitely a great place to enjoy great Colombian food with great ambiance The only thing I regret is not taking pictures of the food; we were all hungry and the food smelled so good we didn't have time. Lol

Chicken avocado wrap was decent/"refreshing" I may order it again. The Empanada combo was not the greatest either, too oily and they cheap out on the ingredients.. I would recommend the batidos for sure Mora, papaya and strawberry and banana, would be great on a summer day, however, if you're on a diet I may ask if they can take it easy on the condensed milk addition. If you are a clean freak I would maybe pass on this location. Sauce containers are dirty and literally looked like they were reused, sticky tables, sticky bathroom floors and they gave us a bag to take food that clearly looked like it was used before :/. Overall I appreciate that the business is open, providing jobs for the community and I truly wish Business best of luck. P.s of you dine in, please be sure to review your receipt, tip may already be included!

After leaving Barcode, I was hosted by Eddie at Mambo's Cuban Restaurant in Union, NJ, and what a…read morefantastic way to end the evening. (I've eaten at the Harrison location multiple times and have always enjoyed my experience there, but this Union location is noticeably larger while delivering the same great food and hospitality. Honestly, you can't go wrong with either location.) The moment you walk in, you're greeted by a colorful, lively atmosphere that immediately sets the tone. The centerpiece of the entryway is a rare 1920s classic blue automobile that commands attention and makes for a memorable first impression. The restaurant buzzes with energy, and despite how busy it can get, the service is friendly, attentive, and incredibly efficient. We started with several appetizers, and every one of them was a hit! The Canoas de Plátano featured sweet plantains stuffed with flavorful Creole ground beef and topped with perfectly caramelized cheese, creating an excellent balance of sweet and savory. The Tostones Montaditos were equally impressive. I tried both the skirt steak and smoked salmon versions, each served on crispy plantains with cilantro crema and fresh cilantro. Both were outstanding, but each offered its own unique flavor profile. The Queso Frito con Salsa de Guayaba was another standout, with the salty, crispy fried cheese pairing beautifully with the sweet guava sauce. For my entrée, I ordered the Ropa Vieja, a classic Cuban dish featuring tender shredded beef simmered in a rich Cuban Creole sauce. The beef was incredibly flavorful and comforting, exactly what you'd hope for from a traditional preparation. Alongside it, I enjoyed maduros, which were perfectly sweet and caramelized, as well as white rice and black beans that tied the entire meal together. From the vibrant atmosphere and impressive décor to the excellent food and top-notch service, Mambo's continues to prove why it's one of my favorite Cuban restaurants in New Jersey. If you're wondering if I'll be back? Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!

I've been coming to Sabor y Arte 6-7 days a week for lunch and have spent a lot of money here over…read moretime. I've overlooked plenty of issues because I understand lunch rushes can get busy, but today was the final straw. The problems start the moment you call. The phone experience is chaotic--loud music, employees yelling across the restaurant, multiple conversations happening at once, and it's nearly impossible to hear the person taking your order. It feels completely disorganized and unprofessional. Today I called in a simple lunch special order and arrived about 25-30 minutes later. My food wasn't ready. I then waited another 15 minutes, meaning I spent 45 minutes waiting for a basic lunch special. It got worse when I arrived at my second job to eat. The meal was carelessly thrown together, the food looked like slop, the rice was all over the container, and I received pork instead of the chicken I ordered. To top it off, I got one tiny sweet plantain with the meal. When I called to explain the situation, I was told I had to bring the food back to get a refund. After being a loyal customer who eats here almost every day, that's the level of customer service I received. There are too many good Colombian restaurants in the area to keep rewarding poor service, incorrect orders, and a lack of accountability. This was my last visit. I will be taking my business elsewhere and cannot recommend this place based on my experience. Loyal customers deserve better.
