Colombian Restaurants near York, ON

“We were recommended Rincon Paisa and I can say they food was delicious. I had the sancocho and my friend ordered the bandeja paisa. The portions are big and the taste is just like home. The restaurant is small and can get busy, but they are quick and the food came out pretty fast. I would highly recommend this Colombian restaurant!“

“FANTASTIC empanadas ??? Highly recommend their cheese + beef empanadas!!! Hot, fresh, crispy, and juicy! Coffee was great too. Great atmosphere. Very attentive, patient, and friendly wait staff even on a busy day! popped in for family day. 10/10 we will be back ?Vegetarian options: Cheese empanadas were so epic. Will make any vegetarian so happy!“

“The best empanadas I've had in a while! We ordered three empanadas ($3.75 each, with bulk discounts available), which were delicious and flavourful; the empanadas are gluten-free, and there are vegetarian options.There are also yuca fries, fried plantain, arepas, and several sweets on the menu. The store also sells frozen tamales, black pudding, empanadas, arepas, and other food products.You can order online for pick-up or delivery or walk-in.Accessibility: There is a ramp to enter the store.“

“Brasas Latin Food offers an authentic Colombian culinary experience in the heart of Mississauga. From the moment you enter, you are greeted with exceptional warmth and attention that makes you feel at home. The atmosphere is cozy and vibrant, perfect for enjoying a special meal.The food is truly exceptional, with dishes that capture the essence of Colombian cuisine. I highly recommend trying the tumba paisa, a feast of flavors that includes meat, beans, rice, egg, avocado, and ripe plantain. Each bite is an explosion of flavor that transports you directly to Colombia.In addition to the delicious food, the staff is attentive and friendly, always willing to offer recommendations and ensure you have an unforgettable experience. Brasas Latin Food is undoubtedly a culinary treasure in Mississauga that you can't miss!“

“We love the empanadas at the Real Empanada Corporation! They are absolutely delicious (even my three year old is obsessed with them). My favourite is the chicken although the cheese is a very close second. My husband loves the beef. We have been buying them at the Connon’s Farmers Market in Waterdown and we go every Saturday we are in the area specifically to buy the empanadas. The customer service is fantastic and we hope to be able to visit any other farmers markets they are available at in the future. I am currently planning a day to drive an hour to Toronto to visit their physical store location for more precooked frozen empanadas (because an hour drive is well worth it they are that good!).“

“This place is great! Portion sizes are quite generous and the food is delicious! I asked our server what she would recommend and she said the Bandeja Paisa and boy was I happy I listened to her. I also got a tamarindo drink which was also very tasty. Our group of 4 were all very impressed by the food and we will definitely be going back to try more dishes!“

“Columbus Bakery has always been my comfort food place since I came from Colombia 15 years ago.I always find great baked goods when feeling homesick. My favourite are pasteles de pollo, empanadas de queso, pandequesos and almohabanas.The staff is always corteous and friendly. It feels amazing to speak with people from back home.Unfortunately, the dining-in space is very limited. The coffee is not that great considering that it is a Colombian coffee shop.Vegetarian options: You can find vegetarian options and gluten-free friendly items.Dietary restrictions: Although there are gluten-free friendly baked goods, there's still a risk of cross-contamination if you have a wheat allergy or suffer from Celiac Disease.“

“A local, small, and homey restaurant. Visited with a friend on a weekend around dinner time – neither of us are Colombian nor speak any Spanish so we felt a touch out of place when we first arrived. However, the staff were very kind and made us feel welcomed which we greatly appreciated. We got some empanadas, the bandeja montañera / paisa, and a red / orange rice dish with seafood (that I forgot the name of). The bandeja paisa was solid but not outstanding compared to some others that I’ve tried. The rice dish with seafood though was fantastic and very flavorful. I loved it! Overall, I would go back for their seafood dish and to try some of the other things on their menu.“
