My family would often take trips to NYC and we'd always make it a ritual to stop in Jackson Heights just to have some authentic Colombian food.
This place NEVER disappoints! We arrived during the peak hours of the morning and we were greeted by the friendly manager during our wait. We had a table within 10 min. Our server was very friendly and the food was out within 10 minutes.
My bf had the Bandeja Paisa and I had Huevos Pericos with Calentao. Absolutely everything was delicious.
In sum, the attention was great, yummy authentic Colombian food, and last–beautiful Colombian servers!
Terrible. Not only do they mop with ammonia while you're eating (thanks for destroying my palate) but I found hair baked INSIDE my pan de bono and our server wasn't surprised or particularly concerned when I showed it to him. Made the mistake of going there for a post-party breakfast around 5am once, never again. I wish I could say better things especially about my fellow Colombian peeps, but with the enormous amount of Colombian restaurants and bakeries in the immediate area, I can't believe that one would make such little effort. Do yourself a favor get your baked Colombian goods anywhere but here.
AHHHH! Just okay. I had some kind of fried fish that I wasn't familiar with. The fish didn't taste bad, it was just lacking flavor. I had to dip it in some sauce. The rest of the food was good. I tried my friend's grilled tilapia and it was great. I would definitely go back, but just get a different dish.
I never really ate here other than picking up an Empanada on the go this time around I decided to sit down since a friend wanted to try the place.
Came in & were seated right away , the place was pretty busy.
As for the restaurant not much to be said about the decor. on top of that looked like they were having an issue with a leak on the roof so there were buckets & crap all over the floor but whatever I guess not a big deal to me.
Once seated they gave us our menus quickly enough but took forever to take our order.
We started with some Empanadas & Aguila beer , the empanadas were good & so was the beer nice big glass & pretty cold too.
I tried the Churrasco de Pollo , this is a pretty big plate huge piece of chicken w Yuca fries , rice & cole slaw.
The chicken itself was delicious nice grilled piece very juice & flavorful , yuca fries were yummy & the rice was good.
I wasn't too crazy about the cole slaw it had a bit of a sweet taste to it , not bad I just thought it would be a regular salad that came with the food would have been better for me at least.
My friend went with the Super Bandeja , this comes with a little bit of everything -brown beans , sweet plantain , Chicarón , egg , rice, avocado , ground beef, chorizo & arepa!!
Everything mixes well together , the Chicarón, chorizo & sweat plantain are pretty tasty on their own Everything else not bad.
Over all our meal was good , prices are decent but not bad at all since u get your money's worth due to their large portions, service on the other hand could use some help they are not very attentive.
Best Colombian food around. I've been going hear for two years now when I come to New York and they have great food. I always get take out. I'm not sure how the service is but the food it worth it. Give the place a try.
I came to this restaurant for the first time tonight. I used to always pass it while walking to the train and decided to give it a try. I arrived a little bit before 11pm and there was no wait time which was wonderful. I was seated immediately. I ordered a mango margarita to start with. It was $8 which seemed a bit pricey to me for the size I got. I can't remember the name of the dish I ordered but It came with 2 pork chops, plantains and yellow rice. The pork chops were huge and the onions and peppers on top was the icing on the cake. I will definitely come back again!
"Buen Hecho"
I dropped by on NYE actually at 6am and was pleasantly surprised that the restaurant was open and bumping.
The food portions are humongous for the price; you probably could get away with splitting a plate between two people. The food is ok but I didn't mind because Where else are you going to cheap, good food at 6am?
I love 24/7 eateries, and the food and service here are quite solid. I had cazuela mixto, which is very flavorful and filled with seafood. While I feel sort of disappointed since they serve many dishes with bland french fries and cole slaws.
