La casa de la baleada
656 3rd Ave, Elizabeth, NJ
Crema's Take
“This Elizabeth spot is a genuine neighborhood gem where you'll find unexpectedly stellar coffee and authentic Central American comfort food at prices that feel almost too good to be true—think a large latte and empanada for five bucks. The tiny, bustling two-person operation has an unpolished charm that matches the food quality, and while the space is cozy to the point of cramped, regulars rave about the horchata and Honduran breakfast plates that keep them coming back despite the occasional wait.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. Quick-grab spot. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Taking my order was a bit slow, but the food was great and delivered quickly. Their TV was on a bit loud for my taste. But I would definitely come back.
Great coffee and comfort food for the price highly recommended
No hablo but very cool. Large latte and empanada for 5$. Crazy good price. Coffee was tasty. Will update with more info when I return.
Food tasted amazing. Clearly as you can see in the before and after pics. It was demolished. Horchata was phenomenal, sweeter than what I’m used to, but delicious. Tiny little spot, two worker operation, getting the job done. Steak baleada hit the spot. Love coming here
Food wasn't bad, it was actually pretty good but nothing special. I had the Honduran breakfast and mango 🥭 shake. Food came out to $22 which wasn't crazy expensive but a lil much for a breakfast plate and drink. I will still stop by once and a while but not as much as I would…
When I first started going to this place, the food was good...now it seems like the workers do not put love into making the food. When I go in to order food, the ladies are not friendly. I ordered a baleada with eggs and its falling apart bc they put too much egg but no cream…
