Brisas Express
308 Morris Ave, Elizabeth, NJ
Crema's Take
“Brisas Express is a beloved Colombian bakery and casual dining spot where the golden, crispy empanadas are the real stars—locals rave about the cheese ones especially. Beyond the pastries, it's a genuine community gathering place with a warm, welcoming vibe where you can catch a game, grab a quick bite, or linger over traditional drinks, though service quality can be a bit uneven depending on who's behind the counter.”

Cheese empanada was soooooo good!!! I had the beef one too but it wasn’t super warm as the cheese. Overall all good I do recommend!!!
So I came here to watch the Colombian vs Argentina game final game and the manager Kevin was so rude. He does not know about customer service at all. But the bartender Johnathan is so nice and helpful and I will only come back because Johnathan is the best and makes the best drinks!!!!
The food was excellent, and I tried a variety of dishes over the week and was never let down. -The customer service was excellent from the moment I walked in the door; they all greeted me. -They were courteous and helpful even over the phone. Everything is of the highest caliber, and everything arrived quickly so I could get back to work. T he location is visually appealing, with traditional Colombian décor and a fun Halloween theme that transported me back to Colombia. -A variety of alternatives, including vegetarian and vegan options; a tidy and well-organized space; -Pleasant music; free wifi -Fast and productive service -Work friendly (Worked on my computer here on bench -Family and kid friendly They have a lifelong customer on my behalf. Great job Brisas express.
After couple drinks, you definitely need something to eat and the best way to do it is simply to stop by Brisas.... they have multiple choices of empanadas and I can tell frankly, that was not a bad choice...I had Argentinian beef empanada and also ordered corn chicken empanada...that was really tasty. I will have to go back and try other stuff they have. Adding on top, the staff was so lovely and friendly which boosted my experience with them.
We're long time customers since Don Alvero's first restaurant. We now live out of state, but when we come to Jersey we always stop into his restaurant/ bakery. Today we stopped into his newest bakery. His food as always phenomenal! Unfortunately his staff's customer service was not to his standard. I had to wait at least 7 mins to give my order, on top of that, after getting our food at the register. We sat down. Two younger customers came in, made their order within minutes and their orders were brought over to them. All service should be given equally. Thank you always Don Alvero !
