“The girls who serve. They are very active, attentive to the client, and they are very paisas, regardless of where Sean is from. From the place where they come from Colombia. Because they put effort into their work. Like some good country then.!!!“
“Very small place, not attractive .didn't eat the meat but rice and beans ok .the price for such a small place .it's not a real restaurant. and they don't speak much English so you have to know Spanish or some Spanish .didn't like it but I had to get something to eat . It's not clean like some of the places I go too .don't like .too small and counter with barstools kinds place“
“I've been there a few times, but today I decided to leave a review because my family enjoyed the service from one of their new waiters - Michael. He was very friendly, willing to explain the different dish options, good conversation which started from the fact he decorated the coffee, as it's not the standard as it's not a coffee shop. You can tell he has the desire to serve and bring joy to the clients. The last time i was there for lunch I had really delicious steak with onions, and this morning for breakfast I had a yummy scrambled eggs with arepa con queso. It's a really casual place, but a good spot for a casual yummy meal, and the cost is much more friendly than the nearby Colombian chains.“
“Cute space! Came in randomly one day and was not disappointed! I got the Perritio, which was flavorful and filling! It became pretty busy while I was there but ultimately the wait wasn't too long. Still, I thought the menu was a bit pricy besides the item I got.“
“I have to be honest when I came to the area I stopped because of Noches de Colombia. However, the wait and attitude drove me away. This small little place was an amazing find! The food was amazing and the staff was extremely kind and patient. I changed my order about 3 times and the service was great and extremely patient with me. Next time I'm in the area it will be because of this place. P.S. Their pan de Bono and chorizo are out of this world if you're just looking for a quick bite.“
“The vibe here was amazing! Loved the music and atmosphere. Plenty of seating, friendly servers, unique food. Loved the empanadas and cheesy bread. The crispy chicken taco was also amazing. I had one of the best mojitos I've ever had here. Great food, drinks, and atmosphere. Would absolutely recommend!“
“I love this place, the food is so homemade and so delicious, it doesn't have excess seasonings or is heavy and it always has the perfect amount of salt?, the people who work at this place are so helpful and friendly that I could eat here every day, I love this place and it is super clean, I definitely recommend it!!“
“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.“
“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 ?“
“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.❤️“
“All their dishes are delicious, the place is very nice, the service is very good, highly recommended, what I found curious is that they charge for the sauces, if you ask for more sauces, for example if you order more pink sauce or pineapple, etc., they charge you an additional amount for each one !!!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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“
“Excellent Delightful Place. Christian and Daniella are very kind. Food is amazing and price is very reasonable. Portions are perfect and properly served The ambience is nice and traditional. The food is great! I love this place. Music is a little loud but .. that’s okay! 100% Chicharron !!! Yummy!!!“
“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 ??“
“I loved going to this restaurant, the delicious ajiaco reminded me of my beloved Bogotá, the delicious fritters and the attention of the very friendly and helpful waiters.The place is very clean and well decorated, it feels like being at home.“
“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!“
“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 “
“This is probably the prettiest Noches de Colombia I've been to. Very big restaurant with bar & bakery- Nice music Friendly Staff, Delicious food & drinks. Their Pan de Bono's are THE BEST!!!!! Not even in Colombia I've had pan de Bono's like this. Highly recommend!!! Their Staff is always super professional.“
“Check this place if you in Downtown Garfield...Stop in for a snack and drink ...I got an arepa a few chicken empanada ? that meal was delicious ......ask about the natural fuit juice .They even have espresso and real Colombian coffee ....wake u rite up ...lol .....“
“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.“
“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 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.“
“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!“
“What a great place... Every time I go it's like I enter a store in Colombia for a moment, you breathe Colombian air! The people who serve are very friendly (there is a boy who always has a smile for the customers), I love the food they sell there, ufff it is delicious!!!!I go very often to buy cheese bread, the 9 am type is warm and super spongy. I really want to congratulate the staff for doing their job very well.PS: It's incredible but every time I go to the market Colombian music plays: cumbia, salsa, merengue, etc., good for that! My only small recommendation is to turn down the music a little since sometimes it sounds very loud.“
“Delighted with the food, the atmosphere in the back and Elberth's attention, which is the best! Always attentive to his clients, super friendly and willing to provide a great experience. That's why every time I can I go to Mr. MarioParking: It is very difficult to find parking. Terrible!“
“OMG The empanadas were absolutely delicious. I order shredded chicken. They're fried and made of what we call Hojaldre.The empanadas take like 5 or 7 minutes to get prepared it's really fresh but you have to wait.The only little thing I didn't like was that I had to pay almost 1 dollar for a tiny little extra container of their delicious green sauce.It.was so GOOD! 100% RECOMMENDED.They have a bunch of different kindsIt was worth the $5“
“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.“
“The employees were friendly and it seemed like they have regulars seeing as they knew people's names. The food didn't take long and it was steamy which made it feel more like home cooked meal. I ordered an orange and carrots juice, and I was wondering if it was going to be freshly squeezed or concentrated and to my surprise it was freshly squeezed right in front of us, which made it even better. The empanada wasn't anything I expected which was good. It was a cheese and guayaba empanada and the saltiness and sweetness was a great combination. I would definitely come here again once I'm in the area!“
“This is a Mom & Pop local Columbian small restaurant. I came for lunch and everything was fresh from the chicken soup to the empanadas and the chicken rice with beet salad . The rice pudding is to die for and I highly recommend coming here .It is very simple place nothing fancy just a local place in Lodi NJ but the food is A +++ . Service is great too! I will be trying the breakfast soon too!“
“Honestly, given the prices on the menu and how cheap things were (considering inflation and everything else), I wasn't expecting much. Boy, was I wrong!! The chicken was hot, the rice was fluffy, And the beans were soft, just like they should be. The salsa verde was a little bland and tasted like water blended with just hot peppers if you ask me. It's a heavy dish and I'm used to having some kind of pickled side vegetables as a Korean (like cultido?) but I realize this isn't always the standard for some cuisines. Anyway, all of what I ate for $9 was too good. I'll be coming back as long as the establishment continues to fight the status quo of this ever spiraling country.“
“(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 ☺️“
“The restaurant is aesthetically pleasing, spacious and with good service, it’s also comfy and has a great atmosphere. The food from my perspective did not meet my expectations, as for the paisita the rice was undercooked and the chicharrón was extremely greasy for all of us, so much that we all asked for it to be changed and they kindly did provide us with new pieces that were much better. The pechuga marinera was okay but was not an outstanding dish, locking freshness and flavor, the calamari felt very chewy and the chicken was very bland. The mojarra was well seasoned and fried and the ajiaco in my opinion was the best dish, that soup was delicious.I would be willing to give it another try with other dishes and try their bakery goods, it looked & smelled very promising from my view.“
“I loved it. I was pleased with the attention and the welcome of the people who work and serve there. They tell me that at night they have a great atmosphere. It was not very crowded, which made me feel comfortable. The food was fabulous. They have parking and very lively music. I went from the Bronx and I would gladly return. The portions of food are good. I ordered churrasco with fried yucca and for my son, churrasco with shrimp. We also ordered the Paisa tray. Everything was delicious and the pina colada is delicious. fantastic we enjoyed everythingParking: They have valet parking“
“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“
“Absolutely love the food here! IMO, it is hard to find an authentic Colombian joint that serves luscious food and showcases their origin's unique flavor. Each bite delivered a delectable and VERY satisfying punch. From their homemade hearty beef stew to their generous portions of tamales...my family loved every bit of it. All you heard was "WOW" for 5 straight minutes as we all dug into our food. Their bakery also had a wide selection of baked goods, which my kids absolutely loved. All in all, El Punto provides great service, amazing food, and good vibes.“
“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.“
“My perfect empanadas place if you are looking for a thin and crunchy one. For now I only taste the empanadas but the pizzas look amazing ?If you want to try the best Venezuelan empanadas, this is the perfect place. Thin and crispy dough, it became my favorite empanada place.“
“We wanted to try something new and came across this spot in Flushing. When we entered at 11 am, the restaurant was packed. We ordered a Colombian Soda, one chicken empanada, one beef empanada, Huevos Pericos con Arepa, Queso y Mantequilla, and Calenteado con Carne a la Plancha y Pericos. The Colombian Soda was different from popular flavors in the US; it had a bubblegum flavor to it. The salsa that came with the empanadas was amazing. It had a little spice to it and just hit the spot. The salsa was so addicting. The eggs in both dishes were great, but overall the Calenteado con Carne a la Plancha y Pericos stood out more. The steak in the Calenteado con Carne a la Plancha y Pericos was flavorful and a nice piece.Overall, we would go back to try other menu items and their empanadas and salsa again. Their menu featured a variety of different dishes, as well as special dishes depending on the day of the week.“
“Has to be hands down the best Colombian food I have had! So I have been going to this restaurant for a few years now and it has never disappointed! The food, staff and atmosphere is top notch. For the cost of the food compared to how it tastes and quantity, you cannot go wrong! It's so good! The ambience is amazing, gives you traditional Colombian vibes and they offer live music on Friday, Saturday and Sundays! They feature different soup each day and they are all delicious! Highly recommend!“
“This place is always quite good. Actually, what really jumps at you is the service. Fast, and extremely friendly. The food is consistently good while nothing re-invents the wheel. Traditional Colombian dishes generously served and tasty. My favorite, whenever talking Colombian, is the bandeja paisa. White rice topped w 2 fried eggs, escorted by chicharron (fried pork rind), chorizo, avocado, maduros (sweet plantain), and steak. Nothing wrong with that. Daily specials are good as well, and deflect a slightly overpriced menu. Soups are done well and their sandwiches are reliable.“
“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“
“Visited for the first time recently, but definitely not the last! Best hot chocolate I’ve had in a while, and the guava and cheese pastry is not to be missed. Staff was friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant for quiet conversation with a friend. A lot of people were working on their laptops when we got there and it seemed quiet and the music wasn’t distracting. Looking forward to returning and trying more things off the menu.“
“love this spot!!!! 100% recommend it. the line is alittle weird and the wait is 10-25 minutes depending on time of day but their plate of rice carnitas avocado, plantains and their special pink is the BOMB!!! seriously it’s so packed full of flavor you won’t regret it i’ve come here more times then i can probably count and it’s a 40-50 minute drive from my house. also they have a chimi sandwich it is also awsome i wouldnt put i above the plate of food but it is definetly good“
“First, I have to say that this place is amazing!! We love it and the staff/service are great too. We have been going for a long time to buy from the bakery section but to actually sit and eat there, it’s been three times. Food is great, prices are great, and on Fridays and Saturdays they have live entertainment. They only negative is that the third time we went there it was packed and no tables were available. We were told we would receive a text so we sat outside in the car. We then noticed that a group of 3 were seated as soon as they walked in and a couple walked in and were taken to a table right away when we questioned the hostess she said nothing and smiled so I asked again why didn’t we receive a text and why were those people seated before us and she said the table took a few minutes to be ready which still didn’t make sense. We sat outside waiting for almost 15 minutes and others were seated right away. Mistakes happen and so we gave her the benefit of the doubt. We also tried to pay with a $50 Visa gift card and the cashier did not know how to do it so we had to pay with our debit. She claims it was declined but it has $50 and we called from there to prove it. Overall I still gave the restaurant as a whole a 5 because this is the first time today, 1/20/2024, that we had a semi negative experience. I definitely recommend this place.“
