Cocina De Gaby lll

Cocina De Gaby llI is a Guatemalan restaurant a few steps above Cliffside Park’s main drag, where you’ll find breakfast turning into brunch by mid-morning; lunch plates slide right into dinner service. Foods range from hearty plates of pepián to lighter small plates and a side of local coffee that keeps the sidewalk table crowd sipping past noon. Quick bites and healthy twists on comfort food make it easy to duck in or linger past the first round. The spot sits at 696 Anderson Ave #2FL, a second-floor perch above the street noise—still low enough to catch the neighborhood morning rhythm. Solo diners can slide onto a bench without eyeing a reservation; the kitchen turns around orders fast enough to feel like a shortcut on a weekday. Coffee arrives before the eggs, and the late-morning menu keeps the storefront lively until the last table claims its order. Call ahead at (201) 366-4054 if the sidewalk buzz lures you past the door.
