The first time I visited this Punto Rojo, I ended up walking out with my party. We were waiting to be served but we were ignored. This was three years ago. I decided to try them again. The service this time was very satisfactory. The restaurant itself is a smaller than the Glen Cove location but there are tables for dine in services. It seemed to be clean both times when I visited. There is plenty of parking in the lot, just be careful pulling in and out of the lot. I ended up ordering chicken empanadas, Hawaiian empanadas, chicharron, guacamole, and plantains. Yes, I know Hawaiian empanadas are not authentic but my brain wanted it. I've ordered from the Glen Cove Punto Rojo location many times in the past. Unfortunately, I think I prefer them over the Hicksville location. The food wasn't as flavorful and needed more seasonings. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if I'll be back in this location. If I am, I'll be sure to try the pastries and their more traditional entrees and update this review.

Best damn cake you will ever have! Tres leches cake is so delicious, the cream topping is artificial tasting, I just scrap that off. As for the food, it's tasty but it lacks seasoning. The service is amazing, really nice people working there. ***Also your check includes gratuity which is sneaking thinking you need to add it but only realized after I left that I double tip. Wish they highlight it or make a point.

Everything was going well until they gave me Sirloin Steak for churrasco. Still the manager when I look up the definition that says that churrasco in English is skirt steak she says that in Colombia that's what they call it. In a few words they sell you a cat for a hare like theSaying.
Came here for a quick lunch during my break. After moving to Long Island it is quite difficult to find a Spanish restaurant. I found this restaurant on google. When I arrived, I was immediately greeted. There are some people behind the counter that speak English but they speak mostly Spanish. I do speak Spanish, but it was good to know that there are other people that can speak English, because I wanted to share this restaurant with my colleagues at work and they do not speak Spanish. Everyone was friendly, kind, and helpful. I ordered the special of the day which was caldo de res (beef soup)- there is an option to order it "Complete" which comes with rice topped with beef stew, macaroni salad, and plantain. I got a Colombiana soda to go with it and it was perfect!!! it was nice, clean, bright inside and the bakery is to die for. I didn't get to take pictures of the empanadas and pan de queso I bought, but it's a MUST have. I would love to try their cakes next time, it looked so good!! they have a whole pastry/bread section. Definitely recommend this place

This is hands down my fav Colombian restaurant. The food is always fresh and hot! & in my opinion you get SO much food for the price they offer. I went in and got a mini bendaja. I haven't had one in a while and I'm glad I decided this. chicharron is always so crunchy!!! The steak is flavorful. The rice is always cooked to perfection and don't get me started on the hot sauce !! I really love this hot sauce. I was told it's in house recipe. Don't ever change this recipe !! Incase anyone didn't know they also sell bigger containers of their hot sauce! I'm so happy there's a location near my job In queens. I'll prob be back Thursday for their soup of the day! highly recommend ajaico soup!

This place was great but lately is failing in quality, I ordered the baked salmon twice a month ago and it got me sick both times & today just got milk w/coffee & it made me nauseous.
Empanadas are awesome!
