Dreams Restaurant
1036 North Ave, Elizabeth, NJ
Crema's Take
“This cozy Ecuadorian and Colombian spot in Elizabeth serves up authentic dishes made fresh daily, from fluffy arepas to perfectly seasoned steak that'll make you forget you're not in Bogotá or Quito. The staff genuinely cares—they'll froth your milk without asking and treat you like family, whether you're a regular or a weary traveler with a delayed flight. Their specialty drinks shine just as bright as their food, and the fresh-squeezed orange juice and tres leches dessert are worth the trip alone.”

We were traveling and flight got delayed. Found this little restaurant with my son. Great host & food was delicious. We went for steak, rice and fried banana. Tried dessert 'tres leches' , was fantastic. Thank you again ✨️
Fantastic experience! The restaurant offers truly authentic Ecuadorian and Colombian dishes, all made fresh and full of flavor. The service was warm, friendly, and attentive from start to finish. You can really taste the quality in every plate. Highly recommend for anyone wanting real South American comfort food.
Super convenient free parking in the back and delicious food. The arepa was fluffy and delicious and we got to try both of the soup specials which were delicious. I unfortunately ate too fast and didn't get a photo but the portions are super generous. The seating area out front was so cute and our server was so sweet and kind. I will be stopping by here again for sure!
Steak sandwich was great. Their hot sauce isn’t too spicy, so I added a good amount of that. Just got a regular drip coffee and I appreciated that they frothed the milk without even asking for it. If you are staying at one of the nearby hotels I would definitely recommend walking over for lunch instead of spending $30 at one of the hotel restaurants
Ilma cooks the best❤️ We loved the food and the place❤️ Dont miss to try their fresh orange juice❤️
