    I’m local resident of the Hackensack area and have visited the restaurant before, although it had been a while since I had gone back and sat inside. I was be on dissatisfied with the service (food & waiter). I went with my wife, mother, 4 year old and 3 month old and I mention this because I guess the waiter thought it was ok to automatically add a 15% gratuity on the check. Now to the food, my wife and I both order the “Tres Mosqueteros” dish ($24 each). The dish was comprised & advertised as skirt meat, stuffed clams, shrimp, mash potatoes & ASPARAGUS! When the dish came, after a few minutes, we realize the asparagus never came so I got off my seat because the waiter just wouldn’t come. I politely asked about missing asparagus and his response was...”it’s for decoration”. I looked at him and said, then why is it on the menu as part of the dish. He said he would check and to top it, came with a dish with 2 sticks of asparagus. I didn’t want to get in a shouting match in front of my family but could not believe that was what he came out with. Then the automatic 15% just topped the entire experience. Sad to say, I will never go back. (Nunca mas volvere por el mal servicio - Una lastima que no les importe la clientela durante tiempos tan duros para los restaurantes). 8/12/21

    If you are looking for a little more privacy and just been able to enjoy good food and conversation, this is the place. The food is delicious and the staff is super friendly. The prices are a little steep and don’t expect larger quantities of food like in Noches. You get what you order. The food was served immediately within minutes of ordering , which my friend and I found kind of odd. The fish wasn’t fresh but the parts of it were good. Overall, quiet place where you can hear each other talk.

    This is amazing. The dishes are authentic, well prepared and fantastic. Colombian cuisine should be far more popular and Villa De Colombia does a great job Update April 8, 2022 They keep getting better. Mouth-watering and flavorful. I want back today and it was better than I remembered.

    Looks very nice inside, to sit and dine. I've always picked up to go. Specially love their beef empanadas & chicharron. Ladies at the counter are super fast and efficient!!!

    Just dropped in for coffee and cake while waiting for a jewelry pick up. The place was very nice. The service was outstanding. The employees were nicer and better than the service. Thank you 😊

    We met up with some family members and had a great time there. The food is very affordable and very delicious. We have gotten great feedback from our family is and friends in particularly they indicate that the food is authentic food very home style. Some of our friends and family members even from Columbia say that it's like food at home. I recommend the yuca freitas and the pork chops.

    We celebrated my husbands 70th Birthday party on April 30th, 2022 at Villa de Colombia and everyone was so surprised at how beautiful & private the party was. The terrace in the back is so private and comfortable for the guests. The food is a four star for all who attended and we had 33! Julian and his crew were always there watching over our needs and so pleasantly done. The restaurant itself is authentic Colombian just like it’s food. Deliciously made in good taste. Thank you Julian and all who made our party a day to remember! Felisa & Jerry Salamanca

    Good food and service but the place is lacking ambiance… they need to turn down the lights or add some trees or something… it’s just a room with tables and chairs. Definitely not a date spot - good thing I went with friends I wasn’t trying to impress. Not a horrible place - just not a vibe.

    I had a great experience at Villa de Colombia! We got a bunch of dishes and they were all very good, they had good size portions. The service was very good and very attentive. I would definitely recommend that you stop by to try it.

    Hidden gem in Hackensack, charming place to go with family and friends, food was delicious and on point. One fact that we love was that once you finish your plates they are not rushing you to pay and leave! A must go place!

    Great place to go with family or friends and have an amazing time. The food is exquisite and the service is excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Came here with my wife, son and sister in law. My wife had the pargo frito, my sister in law had the chicken soup and tamal and it was very good. I ordered the salmon and for the price tag and size it feels overpriced and it was a bit dried for my taste. It was moist on the outside with sauce but dried and hard in the inside. I like it softer and not overcooked. Next time I will try something different. Service was good.

    I have been eating here for over 28 years. Always an amazing experience. I have introduced many friends to Columbian food by bringing them to enjoy a meal here. Highly recommend enjoying a meal here at anytime!!!

    Highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for authentic colombian food! The food here is so delicious and everything on the menu is fantastic. The service is great and the restaurant is spacious and clean. They have amazing lunch and dinner specials. It's also BYOB.

    Wow I cannot even express how wonderful of a experience my family and I had dining at Villa de Colombia. The quality and amount of food you get for the price is unbeatable. You can tell everything is made to order and made with family influences. There is parking available exclusively for Villa de Colombia, but there are only about 12 spots. There is always street parking.

    We stayed as part of a larger family and it was our 3rd time staying at Villa Colombai. The Villa had everything we needed. Perfect for our children (6y & 2.5yr) who spent so much time in the amazing pool. Stair gates and pool fence added extra peace of mind. After a mini tutorial we were able to use the pizza oven ourselves and had homemade pizza twice during the stay, great activity for all the family. Well located for trips in Tuscany, we thoroughly enjoyed Lucca and Pistoia Zoo. Highly recommend staying here

    I call for takeout almost every week sometimes the order is right, other times it's wrong. The food is great, I recommend the lunch special pechuga en salsa de champiñones.

  • 1/5 Jairo Andres D. 1 year ago on Google
    If there was a option less than a 1 star I'd give it. The tables are never clean before you get there . The food always taste spoiled , rotten, stale or burned. The prices continue to rise & the portions get smaller & the customer service gets worse. No hospitality whatsoever.

    Second time I went there today, first time food was ok, today sucked!!! Food no flavor and my cousin pollo spanado looked burned overcooked, requested arroz con pollo to bring home to my husband and stupid me I didn't check at restaurant, the food looks like leftovers from and it was half of the plate, honestly!!!! Was a joke and what a dump of a place !!! Go out if business, stop stealing the customers

    Only been once, food was pretty good. I had the churrasco salad. I recommend it for lunch. Staff did okay, they seemed a bit unwelcoming. Besides that we had a nice family lunch.

    My daughter ate shrimp and got food poisoning. She went to the hospital because she wouldn’t stop vomiting. She got really dizzy , the service there is not good too.
