Colombian Restaurants near Long Island City, NY

“Happy Cinco De Mayo! Felt it was fitting to do a review for today in a Latin American restaurant and I chose one that is only 2 minutes away from the Retro Fitness gym I go to and conveniently across the street from the M&R train station headed to Forest Hills.

Not a grievance in anyway but it has to be known. The place has seating but it's relatively small, probably the smallest Latin restaurant I've been in but I'll give it credit for having available seating because I've seen bigger places that were takeout only when they can clearly put some seats in their restaurant. Other than that, the ladies serving are very friendly and accommodating and the food I got was fresh. I didn't get anything too out of the ordinary. Their lunch is pretty affordable, you can get a solid meal for $13, but mine was $19 because I added 2 empanadas to my meal. I couldn't help myself, lol. The options while not limited aren't exactly varied either but sometimes, simple can be better for this is a good spot if you want something affordable to eat. It's worth coming back to every now and then.“

“excelent colombian food thanks“

“The sweetest, most caring employees. Always make sure nobody feels rushed while also making sure everyone’s orders get out in a timely manner. Food is authentic - great lunch deals for when you’re in a rush but want a complete meal. It’s open 24hrs hence at times it’s a little slower bc there is less staff but overall, always a pleasure doing business with them ?✨??“

“Good attention and great food“

Highly recommend!“

“todo super!!! el servicio, la comida... recomendadisimo“

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

“We went out for dinner tonight at S-Meat & Hueso in Astoria, and as always, the experience was spectacular. As soon as we arrived, our server introduced themselves and was extremely attentive throughout the entire night. This time we tried the Premium All-You-Can-Eat option, and it was amazing—the quality of the meat is excellent. It's also great for kids; my son had the chicken wings and loved them. To top it all off, we enjoyed some ice-cold beers that were absolutely perfect.

“The tamales were decent and they were huuuuuge, the lulo milkshake was a bit sugary as was the arepa con queso. Still tasty tho, just a bit much on the sweetness for me. Everyone was super nice. Pretty cheap honestly. Can't wait to come back and try their sancocho“

“personal, muy atento, buen servicio,“

“What an awesome meal! We ordered two arepas, both GF, and maduros. Beautiful space. Impeccable service. They gave us a choclo with cheese and an aperitif on the house. We’ll be back.“

“Great atmosphere and 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.“

“Stopped by Sabor de Colombia after hearing a lot of local buzz about their empanadas, though I ended up trying a few other items on this visit.

The highlight was definitely the iced coffee—it was absolutely on point and hit the spot. However, the bakery side was a bit of a mixed bag. I ordered a Mojicón with guava paste, but unfortunately, it just didn't taste fresh. I also tried a piece of baked bread, which was sadly lacking in flavor and not very tasty.

Since the locals swear by their empanadas, I'd definitely give them another chance to try those next time. For now, it’s a great stop for a caffeine fix, but the baked goods were a bit of a miss for me.“

“Best Colombian food in Bay Ridge! Service is good too.“

“I like this place. We had brunch and the food tasted really good. Baked Chix w/ lemon, awesome. Juicy, moist and tasty. The rice and beans w/chicharones, yum. Not into sweets but the flan w/caramel just hit the spot, it was sweet but not too sweet. The ladies, servers, was very nice and attentive. The ambience, upgraded industrial columbian resto, great.“

“Great food and margaritas. We got the tuna ceviche and fish tacos to start. Both were really delicious. I’m not a vegan but the kale enchiladas looked interesting so I ordered them and my partner got the skirt steak. Everything was amazing and you can tell the dishes are made with high quality ingredients. We had the tres leches and flan for dessert. Both were super tasty and unique. The tres leches was made with saffron and flan had peaches and basil. Delicious meal! Palenque is a great gem in the neighborhood.“

“Nice place ....very clean and lovely inside...everything in the bakery looked delicious....we had some cake , delicious... after we had some empanadas which were delicious... especially the chicken...took some to go ...will definitely go back...and the prices were good...“

“Kid-friendliness: Mucha variedad🤩“

“El menú ofrece una deliciosa selección de platos tradicionales colombianos llenos de sabores y aromas. No pude resistirme a probar su bandeja paisa, un plato generoso con arroz perfectamente cocido, suculentas carnes a la parrilla, sabrosos frijoles, plátanos y arepas. Cada bocado me transportó a las calles de Colombia y saboreé cada delicioso momento.“

“Staff was very polite, friendly and the food was great and fresh. I highly recommend.“

“The food was amazing, our server was phenomenal and the lady that makes the juices does an amazing job. I ordered the naranja, piña, & papaya juice and ended up ordering one to go because of how good it was. Highly recommend this spot. 10/10“

“Siempre de show!! La comida excelente el servicio siempre como en familia deberás un lugar donde los recuerdos renacen ..“

“I didn't expect the food to be this delicious, but what I liked the most and why I would return would be the sauces. I have been living in the United States for a while and it is the first Colombian restaurant that has good tartar and good pineapple. If that's what you're looking for, there it is... what a delicious tartar and pineapple“

“El dia Jueves visite las instalaciones como de costumbre, la comida del lugar es muy rica. Es dificil encontrar unas ricas empanadas y que a la vez te sientas comodo en el lugar; quiero hacer mencion que la Srita. Karen es muy amable, siempre atendiendo con una sonrisa y con un gran entusiasmo. Gracias por su excelente servicio al publicó!!“

“Buena atención pedí antes y ahora mi chico y yo somos clientes fijos Thanks ?“

“Everything they make is awesome 👍“

“authentic Colombian food. delicious“

“Great authentic colombian food with good portions aswell. I just wish they would adjust their hours to 8am - 10pm instead of 6am to 8pm, because quite frankly don't think anyone is buying lunch at 6am. Other then that the food is great here“

“We saw their post on IG and we had to try it! The customer service is amazing, I had questions about every dish and they were super friendly and sweet and took the time to explain everything. The food was just perfect! One of the best Colombian food I’ve ever had.“

“Muy bueno 😍😍😍 vuelvo si o si y la atención una maravilla“

“I recommend The Burger Temple. The Burger I had great! The service is good. They have parking so that sets them apart. The price is reasonable and the restaurant is very clean and colorfully decorated. They also serve other dishes. My kid was not impressed with her chocolate cookie milkshake.“

“Got there late for the breakfast, but had the bandeja tipica ,which is a big platter so enough for 2 or even 3 people . The arepas with cheese were great! And the maracuya water as always on point ! My sister had the milk maracuya and loved it. Chicken empanadas were a bit salty but the sauce helped.“

“Good hamburger steaks were great“

“Delicious food!! The food is fresh and have good service“
