Colombian Restaurants near Elmhurst, NY

“When my husband and I lived locally this was our go to spot to a bite to eat. Now we live a bit further out so we aren't there as frequently and we are happy to say the food is still just as good. The workers are very nice and cordial and the food still flavorful. I love the loaded hot dog with French fries! Their natural juices are delicious and their cholado with guanabana is a refreshing treat after a meal. They also sell Colombian snacks and beverages.“

“I come here all the time with my girlfriend and the food’s always great and the staff friendly. Im really fond of the paninis particularly the steak sandwhich though my favorite dish in general is the Calentado. The pastries make me nostalgic for Colombia as does the coffee. It’s a small Colombian enclave in the middle of queens“

“It is the place to find sweets and snacks from Colombia, from manjar blanco to choclitos, the space is very small, too much so be patient, unless you go to the back to eat something or have a coffee, great advantage of the place, which It has a cafeteria.“

“Everyone is great, from the person who takes the order to the person who delivers it. Very pleased.“

“(Translated by Google) On several occasions I have visited the place and always the attention of the "Owner is excellent" today I was very surprised by the poor service of one of his waitresses. I know that these are stressful times for everyone and we all want to give ourselves our place but the humility of the owner does not compare with the pride of his waitress. Sorry for the bad comment but it is not about the place. The food is deli, the bakery tbn. But Customer Service is such an important plus now and forever. Thank you for your attention.(Original)En varias oportunidades he visitado el lugar y siempre la atenciòn de el “Dueño es excelente” hoy día me sorprendio mucho el mal servicio de una de sus meseras. Sè que son tiempos de estrés para todos y todos queremos darnos nuestro lugar pero la humildad de el dueño no se compara con la soberbia de su mesera. Lamento el mal comentario pero no es acerca de el lugar. La comida es deli, la panaderia tbn. Pero el Servicio al cliente es un plus tan importante ahora y siempre. Gracias por su atenciòn.“

“This place has very special service. Patty and Paula are wonderful. Coming here for my coffee is like coming back to my home country. I always find a beautiful smile welcoming me. Thank you, ladies, for your kindness, excellent work, and the positive energy you constantly provide.“

“50 Flavors of Empanadas? SAY no more. One of my favorite Empanada places in Queens.

Empanada: 🥟 They have so many options to choose from. Honestly, it can be overwhelming. I'll let you know my top 3 favorites. My first go to is the Mac and Cheese empanada. It is so delicious and cheesey. Mac and cheese inside an Empanada. Yes! My second go to will be the Chicken Parm empanada. It has the fried chicken pieces mixed with mozzarella cheese and marinara sauce inside an empanada. So delicious and tasty. Now my third favorite is the cheeseburger empanada. Beef and yellow american cheese inside an empanada. It's amazing! Those are my top 3 favorites but they have so many more options like Cuban, Meatball Parm, Hotdog and Cheese, Broccoli and Cheese. They also have dessert empanadas that include stuff like Bananas and Nutella.
