Basurero

The best there is in Colombian food in the tri-state area, great family setting, as well as a bar area for singles, and live music on the weekends...

Typical authentic Colombian dishes here (or at least occasional Colombian takes on dishes that are Peruvian or Ecuadorian like cerviche ). Delish & fun environment, but more pricey that it should be.

The bull dog drinks will get you there on the first glass :) . This is Columbia fan support central. If there's a soccer game involving them- this is the place to be. Food is average.

Dan

Great food, fun if loud atmosphere. We were there during a soccer final so it was crazy, but we didn't mind once the food came!

Alfred M.

food is super good. drinks too. saw a bolero band on Friday night. the bathroom area is awesome. go.

Emiliano Viscarra

Try the Bandeja Paisa (they call it Bandeja el Basurero). But before that make sure you are very very hungry.

Angel Reyes

Mojitos , Steak , Shrimp was great .. service was good too

Makis

Strong mojitos(coming from. Whiskey guy)....the ultimate mojito is epic and smells of Leblon Beach ...love it..OJE

Dennise Edgerton

I used to go there when they first opened. I have had better Colombian food, but it is a very chill spot to hang and drink at the bar .

Kristina Morgado

Their mezcal margaritas are legit!

Service here is amazing. And the women... Absolutely beautiful.

Music is way too loud !! Nice strong drinks

Tom Sanchez

Don't expect any service at all if you are not Latino. I don't leave remarks like this lightly, this is the 3rd time I've been in this place and it was always very clear that i was not wanted.

Evelyn Santiago

Best food,drinks, reasonably priced

Kate Chappell

Prepare for awful service if you are not hispanic. Waitress left my table in mid order to say hi to her friend. And didnt stop by our table once the food was delivered.

Xristo M

Its someones birthday at least every 12 minutes for real

Roger R

Nothing special...typical Colombian fare..not bad...not great

Avi G

Large portions but they sing happy birthday too many times per visit for my liking. But if your in the area its a good experience.

Aida Paulo-Molina

The place was empty and it took them forever to bring out our food. Had to look for the waitress to pay because she disappeared. Wasn't impressed.

Hailey Apter

Amazing mojitos ! Vanilla is my favorite.

Edith G.

Sangria is good, everything else is over priced

funky flavor

Please avoid this place. The service is horrendous terrible and horrible. It overpowers the food and drinks being ok.

Jose Cassia

Beware of ... the devil!!

Karen Gan

Legit...the BEST empanadas !

Ernesto Bernal

It's basically a Spanish Applebee's.

Mohd Hafiz

Oooooooooooo

Junior S.

Dam good picada

Nezar Nielsen

Don't go during heatwave unless you like sweating massively - no ac !

Jona M

fun decoration , food is good

Romeo Punzalan

Do NOT order the "Cream of Oyster Soup "... Watery & Disgusting

Jose Negron

First waiter doesn't take my order. Secondly we never got our "free" empanaditas. I recommend not coming here in the afternoon. Horrible service.

David Garcia

I've had better. Service was abysmal

Michael J. Perez

Pina Mojito wow! Yummy!!!

Geo Leon

Lo mejor de aquí es la bandeja paisaje y las sopas del día amo ir los fines de semana a comer y tomarme unas coronas el servicio muy bueno y las meseras muy bellas

ᴡ Guerrero

el k no pida mazamorra es como si no hubiera comido, el basurero es un pedacito de Colombia en New York, recuerden Michel Guerrero Studios | Tu agencia publicitaria.

Cesar Betancur

Claudia Gomez
