Costa De Oro — Restaurant in Elizabeth

Update: I just called and their bakery side is gone. They no longer have torta de fiambre 😭😭😭

They do still make their avena (oatmeal, drink consistency, with apple or milk) and added a quinoa with fruit option.

Original review:

There's a bakery side (street-level) and an eat-in side (up some steps; in other words, not wheelchair-accessible).

Several tasty items.

Especially LOVE their torta de fiambre (phyllo-type dough filled with either egg, ham, and cheese or with egg, cheese, and spinach).

Their oatmeals (more of an oatmeal drink consistency) are quite good, Served in a mug if you eat in or in an individual cup/large plastic container if you get it to go. We like to alternate between their oatmeal with milk and their apple cinnamon oatmeal...or get one for now and the other for later...or mix it, half and half...it's all good lol

Seriously, now craving that fluffy egg, ham, and melty white cheese torta de fiambre...😋

Thought they were an exclusively Peruvian bakery/eatery, but (at least on their bakery side) they have items from (an)other country/countries.

Their alfajores de maicena...

We ordered papa rellena, pan con palta, pan con chicharrón and the lunch special. The salsa criolla something so simple and easy was made very poorly. It just tasted like very old bitter Limes were squeezed onto the onions. The pan con chicharrón was very disappointing the chicharrón was very blend had no flavor, and again the salsa criolla that goes with it all I could taste was the bitter old lime juice and then there was chopped mint in the sandwich which to me was confusing, never had it like that before. The only thing I really enjoyed was the avena con manzana. As for my husbands lunch special the arroz con pollo was very blend and was not fresh as it was brown instead of green, the chicken looked like it was deep fried and placed on top of the rice. Overall food was...

Guys i really vouch for this place they are very clean and attentive. Their is 2 places where u can enjoy your meal. the front is takeout and the back is actually a seating area with tables it almost reminds me the inside of a home lol with tv and clean bathroom. Is always packed on the weekends. They are opened since 5am. Can we please just talk about their food
