I was driving down Forest Avenue at dinnertime, and I saw a big sign that said "Colombian food!" I…read morelove Colombian food, so I stopped. Parking can be tricky, I parked halfway down the side street in front of the city park. The place was clean and everybody was friendly. I liked the atmosphere of the restaurant. It kind of reminded me of a Cantina. Definitely a Latin vibe. The menu was on an iPad, and it was in Spanish, but just by knowing a few words and by the pictures, I knew what I wanted to order. I could've also used the Google translator on my phone, if I wanted to. I ordered the bandeja mixta. Grilled steak, grilled chicken, sausage, blood sausage, rice, beans and sofrito covered potatoes. The food came quickly, and it was delicious. Both the steak and the chicken were tender and had so much flavor. I loved the taste of the Sofrito covered potatoes. The potatoes were just the right texture, and the Sofrito was creamy and delicious. A little bit of the rice, I mixed in with the beans, And it made for a wonderful rice and beans dish. It was definitely a lot of food. I made it through the chicken, steak, the potatoes, and a little bit of rice and beans, and I was stuffed. I took the rest home for later, and it all reheated very well. The sausage was delicious, especially the blood sausage. Yes, it's an acquired taste but I absolutely love blood sausage. The flavor is deep and rich. For all that I got, especially since it was two meals, the price was very reasonable. I would stop back by the next time. I'm on the island. Thank you!

I came here with two other friends, we were in and out in about an hour. The service was quick and we found the staff members to be very nice!

The staff is seriously the sweetest. Twice now I've either called or gone in asking about soups I had during the Rahway Soup Stroll -- their birria ramen and chicken tortilla soup -- and even though neither are on the regular menu, they had no problem making them from scratch. That alone says so much about them. And both soups are to die for. Everything tastes super fresh and homemade, which makes sense since they actually cook everything from scratch.

I'll write this in Spanish and English that's how upset I am. ¿Te acordas del servicio excelente que se le brinda al cliente en Uruguay? Si queres acordarte y apreciarlo más veni el servicio y la comida horrible de acá te va a hacer acuerdo de lo que te perdes. E venido acá varias veces esta fue la peor iba obligado por amigos pero esta última vez me arte. La comida va a venir fría la primera vez resignate. Las bebidas de el refrigerador gran parte si no la mayoría de aquel último día estaban vencidas. Le avise a la mesera después de tomar la mitad y me dijo que que pena pero ya me tome mucho tengo que pagar, me queje más y después de que llamo al dueño que creo que es su padre el padre le dijo que me reembolsará la diferencia. Las croquetas que pedí estaban viejas y ácidas aparte de empapadas y no blandas. Le pedí que se las llevarán (apenas las probé para asegurarme que las dos estaban igual de asquerosas) y me dijo que si y se las llevo, le dije que cambiará eso por otro plato y me dijo con gusto. Llega el checke y me cobro por el plato que reemplazo por croquetas y por las croquetas. Cuando le pregunte dijo que como fue que no me gustaron me las tenia que cobrar igual (con cara de satisfacción me lo dijo) y como ya me comí la comida que pedí para substituir tuve que pagar por los dos. Aunque ya no planeaba volver nunca más el hecho de que ellos sabían y me trataron mal por sólo pedir que me reemplazarán el plato y que me cambiarán el paso de los toros pedí un chaja para llevar para alguien más, fue el chaja más duro y viejo del mundo. Long story short I've been there a couple times kinda forced by friends and family. Every time it's been awful but this one was the worst. Your food will be cold deal with it you'll have to ask them to warm it up its the standard. The waitress is rude I should appreciate she's giving me the privilege of buying her food. The sodas were a good few months expired so I tell her after I drank half of it and noticed and she had to call the owner because she refused to let me change it for a different drink. It won't 1 or 5 sodas all their sodas for "paso de los toros" were expired. The "croqurtas" were soggy, and sour! I asked to change them for a plate and told her the reason, she said yes. She then billed me for the replacement dish the croquetas because as she stated "it's only because I didn't like them" so they can't give me a refund, they could let me order a replacement dish and give me the impression they would tho, keep on mind I nibbled at both to see if they were both sour. Because I don't learn I ordered a desert called chaja which was hard as a rock and dry. The end. PS: the food is overpriced also, la comida esta tan cara que es un robo read more

Sabor de mi tierra

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.
