Our
Story
We are Latino. We are Afro-Colombian. We are The Colonial Grill.
Founded in December 2015, The Colonial Grill is more than just a food truck—it is a story of heritage, resilience, and the power of family. What started as a vision by William Valbuena, a seasoned kitchen supervisor with deep culinary roots, has evolved into a movement redefining fast food through bold flavors and cultural fusion. After years in the hospitality industry, William found himself at a crossroads. Rather than letting circumstances define his path, he took his passion for cooking and transformed it into something extraordinary: a food truck that blends the comfort of American classics with the vibrant, soulful essence of Afro-Colombian cuisine.

At the heart of our menu is our signature Patacón "Plantain" Burger—a dish that embodies everything we stand for. Premium, freshly ground Angus beef is nestled between crispy tostones instead of traditional brioche buns, then topped with melted American cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onions, and finished with our trio of signature sauces: garlic-cilantro, pineapple, and pink sauce. This creation is more than just a burger; it’s a testament to the ingenuity and rich traditions of our culture.
The Colonial Grill is a father-and-son operation—a true labor of love. Since day one, Kevin Valbuena has stood alongside his father, ensuring that every dish carries the same level of care, quality, and authenticity. Our journey has taken us from a small food truck in Morristown to a viral sensation, amassing over 400,000 followers and 50 million views online—but at our core, we remain the same: a family serving food that tells a story.
We invite you to experience The Colonial Grill—a place where tradition meets innovation, where every bite is infused with history, and where every customer is treated like family. Join us on this journey, and taste the difference that passion makes.
