I also got a Elote with a Picada. The food was outstanding overall this place is a must come to for sure. I’ll be here again with the family.“

“I randomly walked by this place and decided to stop in. I ordered the Salpicón. It was my first time trying it and it was really good. In addition to my drink being good, the workers were really nice too. I will be back to try some of their other desserts. I would highly recommend.“

“Been going to Happy Paisa Chicken for decades. Though I’m a pescatarian, I’ve always been satisfied with delicious food. My mom and friends like the chicken meals; I enjoy tostones, salad, rice, yucca, beans (frijoles), green sauce, puffed cheese pastries, and more. Since the 2020’s began, however, there is only the Take-out option; no dine-in.
A word of caution: be careful to park legally on the street; I’ve gotten a couple of parking tickets there over the years.“

“If you’re craving authentic Colombian flavors, PARCEROS is a must-visit! The food is absolutely delicious — from the perfectly seasoned empanadas to the mouthwatering bandeja paisa, every dish feels like a taste of home. The portions are generous, the ingredients fresh, and the presentation is on point.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff treats you like family — friendly, attentive, and always smiling. You can tell they take real pride in what they serve. Whether you’re Colombian or just a fan of Latin cuisine, this spot hits the mark.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for real-deal Colombian comfort food in a cozy, upbeat setting. ¡Buen provecho!“

“Es un restaurante muy bello y se siente como eres parte de la familia 🩵“

“The place is nice, it's a shame it's not a restaurant ?, but OK we came to leave a great comment because it deserves it, it's a nice and clean place, you have many souvenirs from Colombia at a good price in addition to all the things they sell pre-cooked (arepas, empanadas, pandebonos, salads, arroz de leche, chili, hogao) all of that is great ?the chorizo ​​is crazy, made by its owner, it is a HIT, they sell it to eat at the moment and pre-cooked and the better the better and a 10 more to the good comments is the LECHONA really is spectacular, the flavor, fatty, all the ingredients are just right and the skin is super crunchy, they informed us that they prepare it on Saturdays at noon, so you know...and They also make it for special dates in trays of 10 and 20 servings.
We are happy to have visited them and enjoyed the food and the excellent service of their employees.
Listen to how crunchy the pig's skin is and the quantity and prices are super reasonable, congratulations guys, you do it very well.“

“We had a fantastic dinner with a party of 10, with prompt and attentive service by our server Steven. He gave us recommendations for food, and checked on our group often. The food was great as well. We chose a variety of dishes, and greatly enjoyed the guacamole, various meat dishes, and seafood dishes.“

“Las ollitas Colombianas is an amazing and typical Latin restaurant. It's food is perfectly balanced and very affordable. It's churrasco dish is cooked to perfection, with fresh ingredients and unique Colombian flavors. All the food is absolutely delicious. Also, all appetizers and desserts exceed the expectations. Last but no least, their menu offers a wide variety of options. And, finally, you will delighted with the servers close attention to details, specially Stefany, who is absolutely fantastic. She made sure I had everything I needed. She is very friendly, patient, and truly made me feel welcome. Big shout-out to Stefany“

“You would never expect some really good food from the exterior look. It not a restaurant but a grocery store that sell prep food dishes. Food is made fresh daily. Friendly service. Some minimal seating for quick eats for locals lunch time. Parking is limited in the back. For the price of a processed value meal across the fast food place, I rather get some freshly cooked home style flavorful Latin food.“

“This is a wonderful restaurant with a very homely atmosphere. The server was very nice and caring. We had the set lunch menu. The chicken lentil soup was full of flavor and love, as if my grandmother made it. The main dishes - ribs with rice and spaghetti for my husband and cordon blue with rice and beans for me - were also absolutely delicious! We hope this place will continue to grow and thrive!“

“Wow. Just went to this place. It was delicious. Nice people and service. Clean. I had the Colombian eggs with Chicharron and rice. Sooooo good!!! I’ll be back.“

“A bit disappointed 😔 that they charge me 5 dollars for a side of 3tostonnes because they don’t substitute arepas but keep it in mind they did not serve them and 31 dollars for the Patrona Drink is a bit pricey. Overall the food was very good and service was great.“

“It's one of the most delicious restaurants I've ever been to.

It's easier to order if you can speak Spanish but the staff speak enough English that it's okay.

The special of the day is fantastic. I recommend the fish.

Parking: Street parking is easiest but you can probably park at the city lot down the street or at the post office if you have to.“

“I go to this restaurant at least 2 times per month. Everything on the menu is great. Prices are cheaper than the other restaurants near by. Food is colombian but the owners are mexican but don't be fooled thinking that taste is not the same because it IS THE SAME TASTE OF COLOMBIAN FOOD. They do have customers parking in rear. Don't park across the street in the banks parking lot you will get towed as it happened to a friend of mine“

“Rancho Mateo has good food. The service was fair. The environment was great! Live music! However, the patio section, where our table was, needed some shadow or sunlight filter. It was hard to fully enjoy with the sun shining right on our faces.“

“it is nice, it can be loud but be aware. Although the menu says they will charge an 18 or 20% tip automatically to a party of 4 and higher, they still had it to be party of 2 automatically. if you don't realize that then they hand you the receipt with the tip line blank, hoping you had another 20% percent I think this thief and deceptive.“

“The staff at this location were very warm and welcoming. The food came out really fast. Their portions are good too. I would say a plate here is shareable between two people. I ordered the Asadito with two sides of rice and it was just enough for my cousin and I. Their drinks are good, but not strong.“

“Quaint, cozy place, "welcome home/family vibe." The lady taking care of the place (I think she's the owner) is amazing! She took such good care of us and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our time there. The food was very good and the portions are huge, definitely worth it. If you like small places with good food, you gotta stop by. Street parking only but there's enough parking and there's a city parking lot nearby.“
