Noches de Colombia

The food here was just great. The empanadas were tasty and the hot chocolate with bread was amazing. I live in Georgia and came here on vacation. I would like to come here again but since I live in Georgia I can’t just fly over here for some empanadas. I wish there was a location in GA. If you’re looking for somewhere to eat, this is the place for you. My parents really liked this place since they are Colombian. I really would recommend this place for the good food and good service.

I was here as part of an event so my review is limited. I can say that it’s not in the best neighborhood, so don’t even think about street parking. Valet is worth it. The place does get quite loud between its small size and constant birthday celebrations. The bar is small and no tap, just bottles. Happy hour is reasonably priced though, $ 4 for a cold bottle of Colombian beer.
The main part of this review is for the food. They get the authentic stuff right here. The crispy fried fish was my unquestionable favorite at our buffet. A close second for the chicken in white (dairy) sauce, and also some delicious meatballs that were heavy on the meat and flavor. The steak and mushroom dish was a bit weak due to the cheaper cuts of meat. The pasta was pretty good but definitely not authentic.
Overall my initial impression is at 3.5 stars, but I’d love to come back as a regular customer for a second chance.

I am almost 100% sure this Noches was created by dudes. Think about it: TVs with sports on every 5 feet, beautiful women everywhere, a meat-​heavy menu (I’m talking steak with everything), and super cheap drinks. Think of the most romantic place in the world, and this is pretty much the exact opposite of that. Noches is catered for you to have a fun, loud, and low-​key time. No worries, no hassles (they even have free valet, although you should tip), and you’re guaranteed to have a great time. Warning though: it does get really loud especially with all the singing for the birthdays. I personally had a great time but you definitely have to come with a certain mindset. Don’t expect any fancy pantsy stuff at the Noches at this location. The one in Montclair is a bit more suited for dates in my opinion. The food is great, portions are huge, and the service is very friendly. Definitely one of the better places in Elizabeth.

I am so disappointed in this place! I feel like they pulled a bait and switch on me. Our group was a group of four. The food had no flavor — bland. I love rice and beans (I’m hispanic) and i couldn’t eat my rice and beans :(. We arrived at 7:45. Our order came out pretty quick. At 11:00 pm we hadn’t gotten our check and so i asked our waiter if he is waiting for us to ask for it. His response was yes — he is being polite. Well — to our surprise, he add an almost $ 30 tip because as he pointed out after the fact, !! we stayed more than 2 hours and are now considered a party — whatever that means. To add insult to injury, a waitress went by our table, picked up a spoon from floor and placed on our table. OMG i asked her why was she putting a dirty spoon that had been on floor back on table!
My friend ordered dessert. She had to send back. It was not fully cooked.
Never again. People BEWARE this place. Not only is the food lousy. The place is very loud with live terrible singers.
They got us! Shame on them.

This place really does it when it comes to Colombian food. The quality never fails. Tonight my wife and I went and had an awesome time. Prices are reasonable and food was delicious. They had some lady singing which made the night go smooth. My wife had the Bandeja Paisa, and I had the Lomo Empanizado. The chicharron was crunchy and fresh. Not too greasy. The beans were on point with its Colombian Sazon (flavor). The Lomo was very tender, not burnt like other places. Definitely recommend this place. Parking is kind of tight, but they have valet. I didn’t tip the guy due to me not having cash. But the valet Parker was cool and I will remember him next time.

The bandeja paisa was absolutely delicious and ENORMOUS! For only 19 bucks. What a deal… I also had a coconut mojito which was surprisingly good. My girlfriend had a piña colada which i thought was really good as well, and she ordered a grilled chicken breast with french fries. She really liked her meal.

Pretty good food and drinks, and the service was excellent too, they have valet parking, not sure if it was because of mothers day.

I’ve been to four different Noches de Colombia and can say all 4 have delivered well. This one is the closes to my job so my coworkers and I got some. I had the pork loin with mushroom sauce and I was very good and cooked correctly. No complaints on my end. Good portions for a solid price.

Fell upon this gem and and WOW !!! The restaurant serves up authentic Columbian food with just the right amount of favors. We were there for breakfast and the music just added to the liveliness and atmosphere. Our servers could not do enough to make our meal perfect!!!

I ordered a lemonade (house made) and an arepa and Picada. All super good. WARNING: the Picada, which is like a sampler of meat and fried stuff is HUGE. it’s great thing thing to order if you want drinks and to just munch on stuff.
My arepa was great as well. Seems like a very authentic place with a great vibe. The only down fall for me personally was the lady singing was WAY to loud for a pleasurable dining experience.

Great food! I’ve been to multiple Noches de Colombia branches. This is by far my favorite site. The bar and sometimes Karaōke feel is great. Super friendly and attractive staff. Great time all the time. Everyone I have taken here absolutely love it.

Great Colombian food, good portions, good fast service with good background music that’s not loud. I got an a A+
Will definitely come back

The food was really good. I was honestly really surprised. We ordered the chicken and shrimp with rice and maduros. The chicken came out with a nice crisp to it and the shrimp was good and not too chewy.
The drinks were really good and it was happy hour too! Got a sangria which was the bomb. I thought it was going to be a red sangria, but it didn’t have that heavy taste like a red sangria so it was probably mixed with white sangria as well. BOMB. The other drink I got was a margarita. I don’t remember the flavor, but it was BOMB as well… lol
This restaurant is not a place I would normally come to, but I’m glad I did. So if you aren’t sure as well, give it a chance.

This is the best place in new jersey no questions ask. its my wife’s favorite place to go and its my favorite one as well, really great service, amazing food, the drinks are unbelievable good. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to try some well great seasoned food.
really nice décor, it feels like you are In another country.

Kind of fancy or Na? They have a valet parking area once you arrive… This noches was more a sports bar aside from others I have been too; they even have their own dj booth for constant music being played and bar area with flat screens for game watching… the meal prices at this ndc location were A few dollars more expensive than the ones up by me in union city and the portions were smaller. service was great and even so the food quality did not change! Still amazing and enjoyed my Saturday lunch there

La comida es buena pero la muchacha que le das los nombres no es muy amable. Había un señor que estaba antes que yo, él se fue y regreso como a los 30 minutos después de que lo llamaron, exactamente antes que fuera mi turno y la muchacha lo puso a él primero que yo por qué supuestamente él estaba antes, al mi entender si no estás cuando te llaman pierdes tu turno. Cuando le dije a la muchacha solamente me dijo que él estaba antes que yo, dio la vuelta y me dejo con la palabra en la boca.

My favorite colombian restaurant to go and enjoy some good food on a friday and saturday night! Drinks are always good, food is very goood!!! And the service is awesome.
Friday and saturday night they have live music if you want to get your groove on!
Always will be back!

My hubby and I came here for a late dinner tonight (Wednesday) so the place wasn’t packed and we were seated right away. Our waitress provided outstanding service and was very attentive. Hubby ordered a Bandeja Paisa and I ordered a Bistec Encebollado. Everything was cooked just right and mostly everything tasted very good. The beans could have tasted better.
Would go again. Oh and they deliver!

Come here Thursday for Happy Hour (HH). You’ll thank me later as Karaōke night will turn your frowns upside down! I prefer the bar and give the bar 4.5 stars. The restaurant as a whole is 3.5 star. The star of the place for me was the Sangria. During HH the sangria is $ 4 and its potent folks!
Last Thursday my Unilocaly peeps and I decided to meet up and enjoy HH. During the night I realized I must up my game on Rosetta Stone as speaking Spanish here is golden. The karaōke was even in Spanish.
Drinks:
— HH drinks will set ya back $ 4-​$ 5 greenbacks.
— I tried the traditional margarita and the sangria. By a landslide the Red sangria was a winner for me.
— Sangria hit the spot y’all. It was well made and had a nice kick. The fruit was fresh and you can tell it was soaking up the libations =). #winning @ $ 4 for HH.
— The margarita was $ 5 and refreshing. I was looking for the kick, but it was no where to be found for my taste buds.
Food:
— My go to at any Noches is the Bandeja Piasa. I decide to get the mini Piasa and it was good. The chicharrones weren’t on point but overall it was good.
— The HH Noches sampler was $ 12 and offered a tasty tease of all finger foods Noches has to offer. I really enjoyed the tostones and avocado. Then the wings and finally the empanadas.
Entertainment:
— The karaōke was funny! Lauren sang well, Nasha encouraged the MC and Dalia had the sweet serenade from Maro! Maro is a Spanish singer who did his thing that night.
All in all this Noches was great due to HH. Next time I would prefer the bar, but if you have time and want to relax and chill — then a table is fine. Enjoy y’all!

HAPPY HOUR THURSDAY! WE DRINKING IM THERE (no AAA needed for me). Went to go hang with my fellow Unilocaly friends for drinks and good times!!! BOY did we have that ;-) The coconut margaritas were nice and subtle that it creep on you (in my biggie smalls voice) and the mango mojito was good as well and could only finish half because the 3 margaritas had feeling good. Tasted the Sangria and that was good too. The food was ok, which didn’t make me give 4 stars.
Chicken Wings — Crispy and Crunchy; French Fries — really good!
The service was excellent and the guy was very accommodating, which makes them great. To TOP IT OFF there was KARAOKE… yes KARAOKE in the restaurant, which was so cool. The songs were in Spanish and I know a little bit, but I did want some english songs as well just for entertainment purposes. Overall, the DJ was entertaining and the people who did sing including the veteran LAUREN was really good. Wish he would have played a few more up tempo songs, but had fun overall.
Highlights were the guy promoting his album and singing some of his own songs, my homie Nasha showing the DJ and Entertainment love and getting serenaded too (you to Dalia). Shoutout to Lauren showing her J. Lo skills.
Nice place to chill and hang out and get a good laugh. Didnt try the desserts, but they did look awesome and was told oreo cheesecake was good.

Service was outstanding!!! Sara is definitely an asset. She was very attentive. Victor was very knowledgeable of his menu.
Food was so good while I was eating I was in fantasy land. I didn’t hear anything. All the flavored just took over my senses.
Live band was great. He sang a lot of traditional songs.
They also now have outdoor seating.
I would highly recommend this great energy, friendly, and romantic setting. Next time your passing Bayway Street, stop into this restaurant for an great evening with amazing food and drinks.

Cómo Colombiana quede decepcionada del arroz con pollo de este restaurante.
Demasiada sal en este arroz, no vi pechuga en el, Solo muslo de pollo con un olor muy desagradable. No lo recomiendo.

Pedimos bandera paisa. Muy buena. El dulce de tres leches estaba un poco seco pero buena presentación. La sangría es muy buena también.
Súper colombian decoración. Hay un jeep decorado fuera del restaurante. Buen servicio. Voy a regresar.
