This place has the best empanadas in town. They are crispy and moist inside. The arepas are amazing too! The family is friendly and personable. They are a great addition to the neighborhood! Soo so good. Good try some soon you won’t regret it. It’s a good window w/ no indoor seating. Some outdoor seating but it’s a great take away place for an authentic Colombian food experience.

OMFG, so good. I cannot believe that food this good is tucked away in this little place. We tried most of everything–Arepas, Empanadas, the bowl (which came with tostones, maduros, arroz and super tasty beans, carne), Passion Fruit and Soursop Juice. All super excellent. The staff were super friendly too. We ate with our Colombian friend and she gave it top ratings as well.

Parking: 3-4 spots, just for spaceage and El Pilon customers

Great spot! I used to live in Colombia and was not disappointed, so glad this is in our neighborhood. Really enjoyed the El Pilon Chicken on a Patacon (fried plantain), and the empanadas were also real good.

Maracuya (passionfruit) juice was great. The Lulo juice didn't taste quite strong enough but maybe it's hard to get good Lulo in Portland? Anyway, overall would highly recommend. We'll be back!
