Mekato's Colombian Bakery is a place worth driving an hour for, known for its delicious chicken and beef empanadas, amazing papa relleno, and uff-worthy hot chocolate. The bakery offers a great variety of Colombian treats, including jugo de mango con leche, buñuelos, pan de bono, and carimañolas. While the service is generally friendly and quick, some have noted an aggressive owner. The atmosphere feels authentic, featuring a wide range of Colombian products. Some customers have mentioned that the quality of food can vary, with some finding the pandebonos to have a strange taste and the empanadas needing more meat and flavor. However, many love the bakery for its snacks, especially the amazing buñuelos and empanadas. Some have enjoyed the churros and roscones as well, though the cheese bread has received mixed reviews. Overall, Mekato's is highly recommended for those looking for a taste of Colombian sweets and snacks.
