Pricey Meal, Lingering Illness - NOCHES DE COLOMBIA WOODBRIDGE, Woodbridge Township New Jersey

675 U.S. 1, Woodbridge Township, 08830 New Jersey, United States

This place was a letdown from the start, especially considering the prices. For two people, we ordered one churrasco, another to go, and a salmon dish, plus two alcoholic drinks…no appetizers, no dessert…and the bill was about $194.00 USD. Then they added a $23ish automatic tip that couldn’t be changed or removed.

Spending over $200 for average food and average drinks just doesn’t make sense. The atmosphere made it worse, the music was so loud you couldn’t even have a normal conversation. Even the waitress was struggling to talk over the constant “happy birthday” shouting.

Definitely not worth the money. I won’t be coming back. And we also had stomach aches either from the drinks or the food or both.

EDIT 5/2/2026: Nearly 24 hours later, we’re still feeling very sick after eating here. We’ve been dealing with stomach pain, diarrhea, fatigue, nausea, and ongoing headaches. We each had only one alcoholic beverage here. We ordered foods without sauces or anything it was plain protein and carbs. Why do we feel symptoms of food poisoning?

EDIT #2: 5/3/2026 – It’s now Sunday, and both my friend and I are still feeling extremely ill after eating here. We’ve been experiencing ongoing, severe diarrhea, weakness, and persistent headaches since Friday night. Our symptoms started shortly after dining at this restaurant on Friday night, and neither of us has improved much since.

I’ve personally been bedridden since we got home, which is very concerning. Based on how quickly the symptoms appeared and how intense they’ve been, I believe this may be a case of food poisoning.

Given the severity of what we’re experiencing, I would urge the appropriate health authorities to inspect this establishment. Cleanliness and proper food handling may be serious issues here.

I cannot recommend this restaurant, and I would advise others to be cautious before dining. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Stomach Pain, Cramps, Headache, Weakness, Fatigue
