Fogón Latino 891 Cranbury - South River Road, Monroe Township, NJ 08831

"We stopped off on a hot summer morning to get some take-out food. This place has unusual hours, 5:15AM to 2:40PM which makes it an excellent place to eat a substantial breakfast at a time when most cafés haven't even opened yet. I know very little about Colombian food but what I got today was hearty, uncomplicated, and delicious. I had grilled tilapia which was flaky and mild but well seasoned, I think, mostly with black pepper. The meatballs with white rice were also delicious, but, in future, I will be sure to ask for some extra red sauce. The platanos are also delicious and have no excessive sweetening. I don't know if the cooking at Fogón Latino represents dishes from all over Colombia (it's a big country with 52 million people) or reflects the tastes of a single region. Whatever the case may be, this Colombian food offers nothing unexpected to the American foody. On a scale of 1 to 10 for "exotic", where one is a cheeseburger and 10 is super hot curried grasshoppers, this tasty food is a 2. Looking forward to trying everything on their menu."

"I really like this place , the counter is set up like a buffet but the employees serve you. You can pick and choose what you want. The chicken is fantastic, they haves legs that are baked and various parts that are fried. They change the meals daily. They seem to always have a rice dish and black beans. It’s just like a home cooked meal. It’s a good, wholesome healthy meal."

"I was just passing through the area on business and I stopped into fogon latino for some lunch and it was absolutely delicious! Freshly made to order food, vegetarian friendly, and fast! Friendly service other than language barrier but it was fine. Did I mention it was delicious? :)"

"So happy to have good latino food in this area. Colombian, buffet style food. Good portions at good prices. They have a small menu which has the traditional Colombian dish, bandeja paisa, and a small selection of Colombian breads, i.e pan de bono and pan de queso. Wish it was open for dinner. I believe it's also closed on the weekend. Service is good but I have noticed when the manager or owner isn't around the employees slack off a bit. I once asked for a smoothie and two workers went back and fourth on who would make it and ultimately told me they didn't have any more. I'm assuming if they did run out, it was out of the particular fruit I wanted. Best practice would have been to offer me another flavor. Minor detail but I still recommend 100%"

"The food was very good, staff very pleasant. There is not a menu and nothing written on menu board. The hours not so great only open M-F 5am-4pm Alot of the businesses in the area get off around 4/4:30pm. They need a menu and need to g distribute them to the local businesses Get the word out..."
