Came here with a mom and her friend on a Saturday evening, no wait for a table but service was a bit slow. We’re all Colombian though, so the food was familiar and authentic. My mom is actually from the town the restaurant is named before. We liked our meals, but not quite sure we’d come here again. It was a bit underwhelming and not memorable. Still though, food was tasty.
Time and time again, Envigado delivers FIVE STAR FOOD AND SERVICE! I’ve lived for thirty years in the Union City/Weehawken/ NYC area, been a loyal customer, and this restaurant has never once let me down. I once had pneumonia and Oricales, the best staff member in the world, sent me a large chicken soup on the house!! The cafe con leche never disappoints- it’s always hot, strong and a full cup. The food always arrives on time and is fresh and delicious. My favorites are the churrasco, the fried fish entree, and the egg/ham/cheese sandwiches. Their fresh squeezed OJ is to DIE FOR!! If you never tried the pork belly, you must. The cracklings are extra crispy. It’s not for dieters, but it is authentic and delicious. Also, I highly recommend the bunuelos. They come in two sizes and are crispy on the outside and sift and warm on the inside. With a cafe con leche- OMG!!
Plus, all the bread and baked goods at Envigado is made in-house!! So when you order a delicious Cuban sandwich, the bread is made FRESH- that day, by them.
I cannot recommend this authentic restaurant enough! There are many places now trying to duplicate an authentic Cuban/Columbian/ Latin American fusion cuisine, but only Envigado has been successful in the way they care about their food, and most importantly, their customers. Their staff is always friendly and nice.
If I could give them ten stars I would! I can’t recommend them enough. Try them today!!
Its like home. The service is great. The food is delicious. They have homemade corncake. They have a variety of plates to choose from. I recommend 100% Great Colombian food....
