“ Food was fresh and delicious but not worth the price. I love the idea of having personalized side salad option and brown rice as an option. However without a drink I still paid $15 for the bowl. ”
“ I truly love this place. They make the most authentic and delicious Colombian fast food. Their burgers are my obsession! I literally want to travel to NJ just for this place. The taste is so unique, you will not find a Colombian burger like it. I love their sauces and their fries are soooo good. I always get the combo which comes with a shake and fries. Shakes are too die for as well. I love the mango or the mora (blackberry). Truly recommend this place. You will not be disappointed with the taste. I will say, there was a long wait when I went, so be prepared. Worth the wait tho! ”

“ I absolutely love love love Banana King. I've been coming here for years and when it first opened they didn't have a large menu and lots of items to choose from. Fast forward a couple of years and they have since expanded their menu to include bowls, frappes, all types of burgers and so much more. an extremely large menu selection to choose from. Their milkshakes are my favorite! I order the Mamey all the time as it's something my mom made for me growing up in an Hispanic household and something Banana King makes well. The prices are affordable and they're generous with their portions. The eating area is large and has plenty of space and working bathrooms that are easy for everyone to access. The staff speak English and Spanish and are extremely friendly and work fast to make your order. I ordered a bowl for change with all the toppings and a Morir Sonando. 10/10. I will always recommend this place to every and anyone I speak too. ”
