Las Brisas is the best Colombian restaurant in north Jersey, Don Albeiro is the owner and him and his wife are going to say hello personally, the service is outstanding( maso ) is our favorite server the food is always GREAT! I usually get the Casuela Albeiro which is rice, beans, chicharrón, arepa, skirt steak avocado, sweet plantain and a egg, I know it sounds like allot of food, but it’s just the right portion and I also love the skirt steak with the shrimp it comes with two sides I always get coconut rice ( the best I’ve ever had) and papa criolla ( baby potatoes) they are always so creative. I’ve been coming here for 10 years and they never fail to make me feel like I’m home!! PS they are famous for the empanadas so don’t forget to try them with hot sauce and lemon.

Back for breakfast!
I had the Brisas breakfast w/chicken, very good. Also the larger cheese bread - looks like a bagel. Coffee too.
All was great.
7/2021: Came here on a recommendation from a friend. Breakfast was good and the service was good too. Nice spot. I look forward to returning for another meal.
Food was great. Had a Valentine brunch date with great food options.
Had the Sancocho special and Limonada de coco. Reminded me of Colombia so much. Will definitely come back when I'm around the area.
We do some business with the owner when he needs steel (Newark Steel) and have had him and his guys bring us food several times - always amazing.
Everyone in the warehouse attacks the boxes until there is nothing left. Empanadas & pan de bono are some of the best around.
Owner is a standup guy, nothing better than supporting a local business run by great people.
