El Machetico Colombiano

This is one of the best spots to enjoy colombian breakfast: the most delicious pan de bono are here. I also recommend the buñuelos and arepa de choclo. The coffe is so good too! Love this place, I definitely repeat every time I can !!!

This place serves great food! I ordered sancocho and it was authentic delicious flavorful and comes with a side of rice and a small salad. They offer freshly made breakfast lunch and dinner authentic breads and sweets everyday. O and they also make fresh ground coffee which tastes amazing!

This is a Mom & Pop local Columbian small restaurant. I came for lunch and everything was fresh from the chicken soup to the empanadas and the chicken rice with beet salad . The rice pudding is to die for and I highly recommend coming here .It is very simple place nothing fancy just a local place in Lodi NJ but the food is A +++ . Service is great too! I will be trying the breakfast soon too!

BEST EMPANADAS EVER OMG!!! ALWAYS FRESH! CRUNCHY IN THE OUTSIDE! I LOVE THE SERVICE TOO. THEY ARE ALWAYS SO NICE IN THERE!

I order egg rice and plantain so good and lady who answer phone so nice

This is my new and best place to eat. I went there this morning and ordered the chicken rice, and cassava. I am so pleased how tasty the food was and amount you are served. The prices are great and worth it. Kudos to the cook and the woman who took my order was very kind and helpful. I am glad I found this place and its near me and if I don't feel like driving I can get delivery. I encourage everyone to go and see for themselves.

I’m reading the reviews and I am in complete shock. I started coming here about a month ago and the owner told me she started around the same time I was coming. I thought I had found my nirvana because I enjoy the fact they don’t put gluten in most of their foods. I have trouble eating my Spanish food because Caribbeans use noodles/ gluten in their food especially soups. It’s a given so when I found out Colombians generally don’t put gluten in what they cook I am very happy. Other than, what one of the gentleman’s said (more potato hardly no beef in empanadas) I have to disagree this is going on… unless they are pulling my leg there’s a new owner as of a month ago and they are very respectful…so far.

Love this spot! Great for grabbing a quick yummy breakfast..egg arepas and ham and cheese bread. Love the empanadas too. When I'm starving I add a papas rellenas. The whole family is happy whenever we have this!

Finally a great Hispanic breakfast spot in the area!

Another great find, very tasty empanadas, chorizos and the usual staples of Colombian finger foods, pretty good baked sweets and breads, can order the popular meals as well. Tough trying to get a parking spot since being near an intersection with a narrow street.

The food is very delicious, we live in NY and travel to Lodi just to come here. The prices are very reasonable. Great service the women are always so nice.

The buñelos are a must try i love them fresh with coffee in the morning! The owner is amazing and the best customer service. 100% the best! Hidden gem!

Any time is a good time for brunch. I bought empanadas for my crew all the time but since i found this place is their favorite. Good soups for me.

the food is amazing!! literally the BEST pan de bonos and empanadas i've had!! they offer delicious food specials.. i honestly haven't ate anything there that has disappointed me.. and the best part is the customer service is AMAZING!! they're soooo friendly.. they make you wana come back!! i go here at least once a week!!

Really good empanada and arepa con huevos y chorizo. I came at 9:15am and it was super fresh!
