Colombian Restaurants near New York, NY

“I was reminded of exactly why I love this café when picking up some pastries today:• The coffee is delicious and everything is made with attention and care.• The décor and music make me smile every time I walk in. (When is the last time you can say that about any chain eatery?)• The women who own and operate the café are super friendly, always greet you with a smile and are clearly very competent at running a business. (Did I mention everything is spotless?)I hope you support this family business – I know I will.“

“The sign outside caught my eye. Picked mango pork empanada- seemed small but was packed with flavorful filling. Their hot sauce has right spiciness. I asked why the black color, was told bec made of black corn. I read colored with natural extracts too. Gluten-free. Have to try the other ones. Only a small table seating outside.“

“This place looks LOVELY! I used to live a block away from them over a year ago so I would pass by pretty frequently after work to get some alfajores, pan de bono or chicken and cheese buns -and their pastries were always very very good ?Super clean and cozy with many outdoor seats, perfect for summer - not really that many seats indoor thoughI passed by again a couple of days ago and their alfajores have changed quite a bit ? not really a fan of the new version BUT their pan de bono was delicious!They now have more pastry options (like pan de bono with guava filling ? - super tasty by the way)I would definitely love to return another time to grab some breakfast and coffee - and try some of their latest menu additions“

“I enjoyed the food here as the churasco and pollo were of high quality. Service was also spectacular, even providing my friend a charger to communicate with me while I arrived when her phone died. The only issue is the rice which was exceedingly moist, definitely more than any I ever had in Colombia, the US or anywhere else. Barring this, every aspect was great!“

“I love a good empanada and while these are not the empanadas from Caracas at Far Rockaway beach, being that these are so accessible, I am a fan. I picked up an assortment of 10 empanadas to take to a party and they were a huge hit. I wasn't sure about the "fried" arepas being too greasy given I am used to baked empanadas, but I really enjoyed both the baked and fried options that I tried. I wish that they offered more baked options as those are more "basic" - just chicken, beef, cheese, potato and some of the more specialty empanadas are truly delicious. In particular I liked the bombay, greek spinach pie, and spicy chicken. While the 10 empanadas just came in a paper bag, each was individually wrapped with a stamp on the bag as to which flavor it was.“

“Sooooo Good !!!!!! We tried the huevos pericos, jamón y queso, pollo mechada and the chorizo arepas and all were super tasty !!! Great portion size too. Pro tip - make sure you ask them to add the salsa picante to your arepa for that little extra kick of flavour.“

“I was invited for my birthday to eat at this place. The service was excellent, especially the attention from the server Felipe, who made us feel very comfortable. The food was delicious, one of the best services I have received from a Colombian restaurant in New York.“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE! I used to live in NYC. My love is so deep I make sure to stop by every trip I am back just to get empanadas and arepas. They are GLUTEN FREE also. The staff are amazing. The aji sauce for the empanadas is to die for. I want to bathe in it. I used to buy it separately to take home and use with other meals.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, vegetarian options“

“What a wonderful place! Great food and great porción the sancocho de gallina is the best I ever ate in a restaurant! But all the food is delicious and well made with the right amount of meat, spices, etc. I am from another state but I will be visiting soon to enjoy this place. The owner is always there and his attitude is very friendly and very polite I highly recommend this restaurant to all Colombian people and all the people that loves ethnic cuisine! Overall I think the restaurant is a 9 out of 10 ! Gracias!“

“Here at SABOR Y PUNTO I have eaten the best empanadas of my life, and José's eggs, I recommend them, what a delight of flavor, come and try them. And what impressed me most was the special and dedicated attention of the waitresses. I was very satisfied.“

“I am from the neighborhood(live on 42nd) and been there a bunch of times. Food is great, they have good choices and staff is friendly yet professional. I also pass by there 4-5 times a week and always see that they are running a tight operation and place is always clean and neat. Also you can see the kitchen as you order the food. They are pretty organized and clean. Food tastes great. Never had issues. Glad to have places like this in my hood.“

“Between the staff & the food & the service ? Everyone there was top tier professional and super sweet! They celebrated my mommy to the max! The food was amazing & so tasty ! I would recommend everything in the menu if I could! Thank you guys for an amazing experience!!!!!!!!“

“The best chicken soup in the LIC delivery area. When I'm not feeling well, I don't have energy to my make my chicken soup from scratch. Found this place on yelp, and their soup is by far the most homemade tasting ever. So comforting and delicious! Sorry no pic because I finished it too fast.. but had large chunks of carrot, potatoes, herbs and lots of fresh fall off the bone dark meat chicken.“

“First time I came here and I'll definitely be back. Not only the service is exceptionally good, people here is like your friend immediately, but also the flavour of the food is awesome. I was so pleased to come here and I recommend you to come here. We came all the way from NY and definitely worth the trip. Try the "Bandeja Paisa" it's huge plate! 2 ppl eat from that! And happy tummy ?“

“The Colombian tamaleria is a beautiful corner of Colombia in the majesty of the Great Mazana, for those of us who are passing through it is a great place to evoke family moments, remember a breakfast at home or a weekend lunch. For those who have more time to visit, in this place you can find a games space with pinball machines and slot machines, on weekends they have live music and a large dance floor. The menu presents a tour of the typical dishes of our country, including a rib broth, three-phase sancocho, suckling pig, tamale, arepa with cheese, chicharrones, patacones, empanadas and much more, very rich flavors and fair prices for this city. I would return with the greatest of pleasure.“

“This is Colombian fast food and street food fusion at its finest. A meat lovers oasis that serves up well portioned, well constructed and extremely flavorful dishes. The creativity is a challenge for your palate. The flavor explosion is the gastronomic reward of the journey. The service is fabulously Colombian, South American hospitality/friendliness, accommodating and extensively menu knowledgeable. The decor of this munch-spot is of a Colombian BBQ pit with an American flair. Tastefully designed to resemble a road side BBQ shack. Music keeps it bumpin' and is all about the Latin BBQ Vibe. Seating is limited, large groups of 10 or more will be difficult to accommodate. No outdoor seating is available due to heavy vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Worth the ride to munch with friends, family or a casual date. WASH YOUR HANDS BECAUSE YOU WILL BE LICKING YOUR FINGERS. Yummy Tummy!“

“It is a super nice and pleasant place, the fruit salads and their cholado are delicious and the service is very good, I always go when I can and the experience is excellent.I will soon have my birthday there with my friends and family.Super recommended.❤️“

“Picked up food here during a late night. Nobody was there but the music was blaring. I got a burrito bowl with shrimp and chaulafan with seafood. The food was delicious but prices are a bit high. The seafood was not overcooked. The chaulafan was flavorful and contained a good amount of seafood (mussels, shrimp, and squid) and it wasn't rubbery at all! The fried egg was nice and fluffy as well.“

“Well, the place is very nice, the service in general is very good, I recommend it 100%, it covers all expectations, greetings to inca paisa!!!! Katherine, Valentina and Sthephany very good serversParking: Very good, very reliableKid-friendliness: Of course the atmosphere is familiar“

“Very nice Colombian food, nice environment, and good price, service is pretty good, and we are always greeted by the manager,we had a Colombian bowl, pretty good,then coffee and arepa de choclo for dessert, I find this place better than noches, good relation price - quality,I recommend “

“12/10. Incredible food. Large quantity of food for the price, and extremely high quality. Few ways in which could be better. Excellent service as well, and very clean and up-beat atmosphere. Thank you Isabel and our other waiter for a fantastic evening!! We will be back ??“

“Today, March 16, I personally visited the place and I was delighted with the attention, the seasoning, the cleanliness, we ordered 3 different dishes, I ordered Bandeja Paisa, very delicious! quality of natural juices! And the attention of the staff was very professional, the lady who served my table was very sweet and the Manager Mr. Yessid was excellent! Nice experience and I gladly recommend the place! Whoever comes to Sabor de Colombia does not regret it! Something else, your delicious compost bread! Congratulations to all the staff, may the Lord bless the work of your hands and prosper you in everything! ?“

“It's a great coffee and breakfast spot!! They have lots of Colombian bakes. My favorite is always Pandebono, which is cheesy, a little sweet roll, I love it with coffee. I had also they healthy breakfast sandwich Bella, which is grilled portobello mushrooms, avocado, lettuce mix, walnuts, carrots, onions, and parmesan cheese and I also added sunny side up egg. It was really good. I'm definitely recommending this spot. ?“

“I absolutely love this place! my parents are in town and what better way to celebrate them and Good Friday than by bringing them to Barriles. Food is always delicious, drinks are the best and the customer service they provide is top notch. No matter the day of the week, time of day, the staff is always professional, attentive and like family. By the way, they have the best margaritas…I had the passion fruit one with Don Julio!“

“Enjoyed a delicious and satisfying meal together with a friend. The Bandeja Tipica was a must try, offering a spread of traditional Colombian eats that truly delivered on authentic taste. Steak lovers won't be disappointed by the Entraña cooked to perfection. The restaurant itself has a casual atmosphere, making it a great spot for a relaxed and flavorful dining experience.“

“Authentic Colombian food. From the portion sizes to the seasoning, you can't go wrong ordering some good Colombian food.Personally, I think the menu is way too complex and way too many options. Options that are not even Colombian, which I found unnecessary & distracting. Service was good. However, they brought appetizers and mains at the same time. Given the generous portions, there was simply no room in the table for all the dishes. Drinks were ok & environment, cozy. Def enjoyed my meal & will not hesitate to come back if in the area.P.s: never seen Yuka fries done this way. They were ok. And their green sauce, uffff so good.“

“They have an incredible flavor, I feel in my homeland, Colombia, the empanadas, the pandebonos, the Bandera paisa, the lunch of the Day, everything is very delicious and most importantly, very good attention from the girls and the owner, Rico, having a place like that that welcomes you. and sits at home.“

“The granny apple fresh juice is amazing, as well as the gluten free beef empanada and the gluten free chicken+cheese empanada (they are made with corn) each comes with a Verde green sauce which is very flavorful.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options“

“Atmosphere is beautiful, cozy and warm. The decor is colorful and lends to the excitement of the venue. The staff was polite and attentive. The drinks we ordered was delicious. There are non alcoholic options which was a plus.The food looked attractive and tasted great. The mini arepas sampler was really tiny. There was a ton of topping but the arepas was not to my liking. Too blaah. I was expecting a moist corney bread but it was just like it was an over processed piece of tired dough. I was looking forward to the taste of the streets. Would I return? of course but I'll try another menu item“

“A marvelous restaurant. Great atmosphere - obviously very popular with the locals. Great menu, can be adjusted to suit the diners. Huge portions - come hungry! Staff very friendly. Helpful in describing certain dishes etc. Alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks are available. (the lemonade is out of this world!)Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to access. Staff helpful in organizing a table.“

“Inviting and delicious experience. Food was very flavorful. Tostones with guacamole was a great balanced app. The guacamole was creamy acidic right amount of tomatoes and onions. The arepas didn't disappoint. Lots of meat the arepas were filling, fluffy, chewy the right texture. The decor felt like we were in a garden, leaves, flowers quaint and cozy. The service was perfect. Courteous, friendly and patiently explaining all our questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Will come back again soon!“

“I first ate here in 2012 with about 20 Colombian adoptees and have been back so many times despite not living in Queens. I thought it had a different name, but I recognize the decor. This place was amazing and we went around lunch time. Many of us have friends and family in Colombia and we loved this place so much. I remember going there with a friend and not really knowing for sure how to get there one time as we took the subway, but I was still able to locate it. During that weekend we also went to an overpriced place, attempting to be "upscale" and it was no where in the same category as this restaurant. They other place even ripped us on the bill because there were some many of us and they claimed we "must have bought alcoholic drinks". They ripped us off and a girl had to put it on her credit card to get the reservation and now the bill was about $300 to $375 more and we all knew what we ordered food wise and nobody drank I'm excess so we just all chipped in to cover this rip of. If that's not bad enough they had our event published in some magazine or newspaper. Don't waste your time with those places, go here and you will not be disappointed. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. Ciao.“

“not a fan of leaving negative reviews, but for the love of jesus, why was my fried fried fish in need of flavor? it looked amazing -- sadly, it didn't taste amazing. the green sauce on the table, same thing: no salt! damnit. it is a dream to make it to JH just for the joy of colombian culinary goodness. once again, mario's (fried fish) failed to impress. and i love fish. ?“

“Stopped in to have an beef empanada and a juice and we were blown away by how good everything was! The juice was fresh and tasty and the beef empanada was one of the best empanadas I've ever tasted. Also the barista was very kind and welcoming. Will definitely come back.“

“I don't give it five stars because they made us wait a few minutes before making us sit down, there were unoccupied tables and finally a man who was not the waitress seated us, but when it came to quality, quantity, price 100% recommended. I would return without a doubt. Personal recommendation, I have a baby who is learning to eat and I asked for a plate and they brought me one of tableware, which I returned for obvious reasons, so some disposable plates would not be bad for the little ones.“

“Let me tell you, the people who work here know what they are doing. First off, either the owner or manager calls me Reina every time I step in there and they are all just so kind. It has a very Colombian homey vibe, and the food is absolutely delicious. I've gone there a few times already but what truly steals the show are the empanadas for me, every time. They are sooooo freaking good, with a little soupy-potatoey ness inside, and healthy amount of meat. I love coming here!“

“Ok so the food here is PRETTY DAM GOOD like I got an arepa and shorty got a arepa as well it was delicious . The ISSUE WAS ITS WAY OVER PRICED IM TALKING ABOUT LIKE COME ON 43 BUCKS FOR 2 AREPA AND 2 DRINKS I WAS STILL HUNGRY AFTER EATING THIS SO U understand portions are on the small side and its pricey but definitely taste great just not worth the price there's tons of other options where u bang for ur buck.“

“Hands down to one of the best (If not the the GREATEST) Colombian restaurant in Queens with a tradition for decades maintaining quality foods and service top nosh! Thank you for been excellent all this time and bringing deliveries to my family even during the pandemic or a storm like today on a Sunday. Los quiero! ?Vegetarian options: Salads, arepas, cheese, juicing, Beans, rice, plantains, soups, etc.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free arepasKid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Restaurant is on lower level easy access“

“I have been dining at this wonderful family location for over 20 years that in my opinion should be considered a landmark. The service is unmatched, the Colombian food served here for lack of a better word is "Perfect" every single time I come here the food reminds me so much of my childhood with my own Colombian family. I highly recommend this location nestled in the middle of Jackson heights. So if u want good food, great service and affordability then this place is the spot to come to.Kid-friendliness: Highly family friendly.“

“Restaurant is amazing and the service is great. They have the most delicious coffee and food is delicious. I also noticed which is very important to me its a clean restaurant. I don't live close by to this place but I travel 30 minutes away from my home. Don't mind the drive well worth it!“

“I've been here several times I like to food and drink atmosphere here. I had a chicken sauté today but something wrong with chicken but it's fine. The manager Raul is a great person he come to apologize from me he's so professional and also bartender Helen is she's so sweetheart thank you guys I appreciate it.“

“This is by far one of the best bar/restaurant in the neighborhood. I go there often, their stuff is extremely attentive, helpful and good service overall. Their cook is fantastic, and the owners are superb!!. Super recommended for their food, drinks and ambiance. Great salsa-latino vibes.“

“Wanted a light snack and decided to try the empanadas here. Gentleman in the front was very helpful and accommodating, took my order and payment. Food was ready ~10min and was piping hot. Well made, good portion, baked empanadas that were very tasty. I will try other dishes here when in the area with no hesitation.Parking: Double parking or paid/unpaid street parking in the vicinity.Wheelchair accessibility: Manual doors, vestibule with more doors, not wheelchair accessible without assistance.“

“the staff here are angels! the bakery's ambiance feels like home and it's so nice to have a colombian bakery not in queens! the pan de bono, buñuelos, pan de queso are my go tos but love their breakfast and other snack breads and pastries. a neighborhood staple!“

“Great spot to go for a quick casual bite! We got the pernil and ceviche and both were delicious. The pico de gallo was so refreshing to nibble on, especially on a nice summer day. Service was great too! Definitely try to get a spot in the back patio if you can as well.“

“HELLO IF I COULD GIVE 10 STARS I WOULD GIVE IT THE TRUTH THE ATTENTION THE FOOD THE PERFECT ENVIRONMENT I SPENT A NICE AFTERNOON WITH MY FAMILY.ESPECIALLY THE WAITRESS WHO WORKED WITH ME, VERY PROFESSIONAL, FRIENDLY, NICE, THE TRUTH SHE TREATED ME LIKE A QUEEN, AS SHE TOLD ME.IN GENERAL ALL THE STAFF THAT WORKS VERY FRIENDLY.THE ONLY THING WE DIDN'T LIKE WAS THE BEANS BUT I HOPE THEY IMPROVE IT WITH THE SUGGESTION WE GAVE. (The beans weren't bad, it just didn't have Sazón for my taste)100% RECOMMENDED WOULD COME AGAIN“

“This is the best place to party!!!!! Super nice environment with good people, good energy .. the best music and a staff. The owner is a down to earth person ..very good with his guests. I recommend this lounge for a nice time!! Always.Toma pa que gocez.❤ ??“

“(Translated by Google) I don't know if the name is the same when you call the name of the restaurant it sounds different. Although a little expensive, the food was super tasty ☺️(Original)No se si el nombre sea el mismo cuando uno llama el nombre del restaurante suena diferente Aunque un poco caro la comida fue super rica ☺️“

“I had a great experience at this restaurant. my husband and I went there for our anniversary and had cubano sandwiches and raw clams for a meal. The food was delicious but a bit pricey and this is definitely a place I would recommend for a family dinner or casual date.“

“We went here for Chicken. It was delicious and really reasonable prices. The place is clean and neat, bathrooms were clean. They have a sister place on Long Island and it is very different. We live close to the one on long island. Columbian Chicken is really good. I really enjoyed myself.Kid-friendliness: This is a pretty family place. Its build into the culture“
