We had the Christmas luncheon at the restaurant. I like this restaurant because it's not too noisy or too dark with very good food. Everyone enjoyed the food and service.

Craving a taste of Colombia without leaving New Jersey? Colombian food embodies a sense of delightful magic that'll have your taste buds tingling at the first bite. This South American cuisine is woven from a rich blend of cultural influences reflecting the heritage of the indigenous and the Spanish. Some common favorites are bandeja paisa, chicharró (fried pork belly), black beans, rice, plantains, avocado, and an arepa. Located in the heart of Hackensack on Mercer Street, this establishment has been at the former site of OG of Colombia since 1990, where my partner, our friends and I decided for lunch. Just ask any local, and they'll tell you that Villa de Colombia is one of the best and most authentic BYOB restaurants for Latin cuisine in Bergen County. The reservation was easily made by calling into the restaurant for a party of 5. Upon entering as first-timers, we were greeted by the staff and got a table right away in their comfortable, clean, and cozy-vibe interior at their main dining room. The menu features authentic Colombian cuisine. But as evidence of the ever-expanding community, they have integrated other Latin American and Spanish recipes--something for everyone. As an appetizer, I decided on the beef empanada. For the main meal, we opted for Pechuga De Pollo En Salsa De Champiñones, Tamal Colombiano, Quesadilla Mixta, and Quesadilla Colombiana. Complimentary warm arepitas with hot sauce started our meal. The food was served hot, well prepared, full of flavor, tasty, and delicious. The quality and amount of food one gets for the price is unbeatable. The service was professional, friendly, and not rushed, and our server was Esteban. This was a real treat where all the boxes were checked, which we can recommend.

Thumbs up.

BEST chicken quesadilla I've ever had to date. Fresh mozzarella and crunchy! I would definitely come back again.

The service was great incredibly welcoming the waitress spoke Spanish and English. The food came quick and the portions are like I've never seen before. We got paella marinera and o swear that was enough food to feed a family. I also got the tres mosqueteros, the best churrasco I've had in my life. Great setting as well very clean and organized, loved it.

Great service and food. Baby Churrasco and Bandeja Paisa recommended. Cafe con leche/Late also really good. The outdoor space looks really nice and there enough tables. The place has a cozy atmosphere to spend time at anytime of a meal. Noticed people arriving with their own bottle/s of wine. BYOB, I'd say is a plus.

Excellent as always! They opened a lovely patio area that is covered however the weather has been very bad so we decided to stay inside and good thing because it was a monsoon. I was most looking forward to having an app of Morcilla, blood sausage which they make fairy good here but our waiter said they did not have. He saw Howell sad that made me and he said he would ask the kitchen and he came out with the amazing news that they had some. I scarfed it down so quick I couldn't even take a picture but it was quite possibly the most delicious one I've had there today. For an entrée I had the Punta de Anca, cap steak, which came with a side, I chose the fried cassava. I was shocked when I received not one, but TWO thick, juicy and perfectly executed medium rare steaks. My mom got the Plato de Frijoles, a plate of rice with a fried pork strip, a small pot of beans and a side of plantains. She was raving how wonderful it was and I stole a piece to confirm it. We were way too full to even consider dessert. This place has been a staple for visits for years as they have always been very kind and attentive with amazing food. Oh yeah, it's also BYOB!

Lunch special - Bandeja Paisa
Amanda L.

I came here for the lunch special which was only $10.5!! I ordered the Bandeja Paisa - it was a huge portion but the beef was quite dry. The interior is nicely decorated and clean and the lunch deals are pretty worth it!!

Great food, service, and ambience. We highly recommend it and will be back. Outdoor dining and music entertainment makes this place very special.

Amazing Colombian food, great and fast service and a nice ambiance for 1 person or 15 people!

Gina M.

El servicio estuvo genial, muy atento el mesero. El ambiente es acogedor y tranquilo. La comida fresca, deliciosa y muy bien presentada. Los baños limpios y tiene música pero es buenísima de escuchar.

Lunch time! Yes!!
A H.

Great spot and honestly I like it better than Noches. I believe this is my second time Coming to this spot, first time was with my colleagues for a Christmas dinner but I wasn't active at Yelp. The service was good, food was good, the cassava fries were a little too greasy for my taste but my dad liked it so that's what matters. We ordered salmon with vegetables, delicious! Great ambience, wasn't too crowded and man those arepas with butter won my heart! I love that they have parking spots available, and they did not require any reservation, the wait time wasn't long, we only waited for 10min and that was it. We will definitely be back!

Very authentic across the board. Try the Bandeja Paisa with Churrasco. Empanadas with Pique were fresh and homemade.

I can't believe I'm just visiting this place!! LOVE good Colombian food and this one hits it right…read moreon the nail (is that even a phrase)? Anyway, came here on a weekday afternoon and wasn't busy at all- that's not to say that the food/bakery wasn't good. It was AMAZING. I got the lunch special which was chicken soup with breaded filet, salad and rice for $12.99. WHAT! And that portion was BIG as you can see from the pictures. Our server was attentive and got us whatever we needed almost right away! My breaded filet came out delicious. Perfect amount of crispy where it's not overdone and it wasn't drenched in any sauce that made the filet soggy. The house salad was simple yet flavorful and that chicken noodle soup was SO hearty that I wanted to go in the kitchen and scoop myself more. The place is big and bright and clean. Bakery on one side of the restaurant for quick take out and restaurant to the right. There's street parking but there's also parking in the back where the giant farmer market is, but it can be a busy lot. I came back here again with my husband another day and had another lunch special which was grilled chicken with mushroom sauce and my husband had a 16oz churrasco, all cooked to perfection. We got some bakery goods to go and we can't wait to have them later. Highly recommend this place!!

Nice ambiance, cute decor and friendly service. I loved that you could see the Columbian influences in the decor. We were greeted as we walked in and the staff we encountered were all really nice. Ice water, lime slices and green hot sauce were brought brought to the table first. The waitress came quickly and we placed our order. The rotisserie chicken was tender and delicious. The plaintains and tostones came out hot and fresh. The yellow rice was cooked perfectly and although not super flavorful the hot sauce was perfect on the rice. I'm sure it would be delicious with beans but we didn't order beans. We also tried two smoothies, the mango was my favorite but the passion fruit was good too but a little tart and not as sweet as the mango. I will return without a doubt for that mango smoothie. I'd also like to stop in for breakfast because the breakfast menu items looked interesting. Good food, great ambiance and great service. Solid 3.5 and bumped to 4 for excellent customer service.

We ordered the mini tipica (grilled steak, pork rind, rice, beans, fried egg, sweet plantain and avocado, chorizo) and it was fair; the steak was too chewy but everything else was fine. It didn't feel like an $18 meal though and definitely have had better. Seems like a pretty casual atmosphere inside. There's an additional credit card charge so pay cash to save that 3%.

Very pretty restaurant, with lots of colors and decorations inside. I was surprised to see their gigantic menu that has so many different kinds of items including burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, arepas, papas, ensaladas, patacons, antojos, bakery, desserts and juices. I order couple of beef empanadas and flan to go. The lady packed up my items right away, super quick service. Beef empanadas were filled with beef and potatoes, with delicious green and spicy mayo sauce on the side. I was blown away by the flan. Such creamy taste yet it was dense. Like other flans it wasn't over baked, so it still had light yellow color instead of dark brown on top. My first visit was great. I am going to stop by again to try the other items in the menu.

You can tell nothing was frozen or microwaved, everything was made with care. My only complaint is how long it took to make the food. About 30min wait.
