Colombian Restaurants near Jamaica, NY

“The best they have are their Picadas and cocktails, you have to visit them.“

“the best Colombian food in New York!! fast, traditional Colombian flavor, a super large portion and super economical!!!
Claudia waited on us and was super kind and helped us with the best options for Colombian dishes.
I highly recommend it if you are passing through New York or live there!“

“I was last Sunday and everything was good the attention very good and fast tank you“

“This place was a godsend when I had a multi-hour layover in JFK after a long international flight early in the morning; it's very easy to get to by AirTrain and saves you from paying airport prices for the McDonald's breakfast menu when you're still on Asian time and in the mood for dinner - in fact it's cheaper than McDonalds' off-airport prices these days. The staff spoke English and were willing to explain what things were; I had a nice cup of coffee, some tasty empanadas and a fried croquette filled with minced shredded chicken and vegetables. It is a great choice for anybody that has a lengthy layover in JFK during a meal time, especially if you need to change terminals and leave the secured area anyway.“

“First of all, all the ladies that work here are really nice . Secondly , the coffee is amazing. It just has a real taste when compared to Dunkin Donuts or Tim Hortons . I think here the milk is better . The pastries are also good. The prices are also amazing . One of my favorite neighborhood spots .“

“El Cafetal Bakery & Restaurant is a sparkling gem in Queens, where the Colombian spirit comes alive in every bite of freshly baked bread and every sip of aromatic coffee! This family-run Colombian business carries the warmth, passion, and traditions of Colombia, transforming every visit into an unforgettable journey through the flavors of Latin America. From the moment you step into this cozy establishment, you’re enveloped in a homely atmosphere filled with tantalizing aromas and the genuine smiles of a family that has poured their heart into their craft.
The baked goods here are simply divine! Quesitos, with their crispy crust and delicate cheesy filling, melt in your mouth, while guava pastries are a sweet Colombian delight you can’t resist. Pan sobao, soft and airy, pairs perfectly with morning coffee or a hearty Cuban sandwich, served with a generous portion of meat, cheese, and Colombian love. The tres leches? It’s a dessert that whispers, “This is the taste of home!”
The savory menu is equally impressive: mofongo with a Colombian twist is a true masterpiece, and the rice with beans and fried chicken from the hot bar feels like a warm hug from family, prepared with soul. The coffee – a point of pride for the family – has a rich aroma and flavor that transports you straight to Colombian coffee plantations. And the freshly squeezed orange juice? It’s like sunshine in a glass!
The interior is enchanting: modern, clean, with vibrant Colombian accents and spacious tables that feel comfortable whether you’re dining alone or with loved ones. The staff are true stars, many of them part of this extended family, always ready to recommend something delicious and envelop you in warmth, as if you were a guest in a genuine Colombian home. Opening at 5 AM is a godsend for those eager to start their day with authentic Colombian flavors.
El Cafetal is more than a bakery – it’s a Colombian family tradition where every visit feels like a celebration. Whether it’s a quick breakfast, a family lunch, or a sweet break, you’ll find delectable food and the vibrant energy of Colombian culture. If you haven’t been yet, run, don’t walk! This is a place where your heart sings and your taste buds dance the salsa. 10/10, I’ll be back again and again! 🌟“

“We absolutely love coming to S Meat & Hueso! The food is always on point—delicious, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. If you’re a meat lover, this place is a must. The vibes are unmatched, with great music and entertainment that always makes the night extra fun. The staff is super friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming whether you’re with friends or family. A true gem in Astoria, Queens—can’t wait to come back again and again!“

“Great taste of Colombian Cuisine, I love the Tamal, great service.“

“During my time in Kingston last year, I enjoyed a lot of the menu options such as the fruit salads (especially the ones with chocolate in it). I especially enjoyed the banana crepe, velvet crepe, chicken crepe, garlic beef crepe, and the chocolavo drink. All the options were quite unique and worth the price. It's too bad this place is closed though. I really wish there was a restaurant in my current area that is at least remotely similar to Fruit Festival.“

“Listen… I’m Colombian, which means I basically grew up with arepas so trust me when I say: this place gets it. The food is seriously good. 10/10, I’d come back any day just for those arepas. 🇨🇴🫓💃🏻

“Stumbled across this restaurant while visiting the Flushing area today. The prices were good, 10-20$ for a lunch special. The portion size was large and the food was flavorful and delicious. The staff were very friendly; I'm learning Spanish and I was able to practice with our hostess, although they do speak great English. It was a bit hot in the store, and the music they were playing cut out while we were there for some reason.“

“Lovee this place

Their passion fruit is always on point.

Theres one girl who is always there and remembers us.
My 2 year old son always loves saying hi to her.
