Good atmosphere and nice service. I didn’t like the food too much though. I might visit again to try a different dish.

Enjoyed a fantastic meal here with my family yesterday, including a variety of freshly made juices, empanadas, arepas and other great food. After checking with the server, they have separate friers for their gluten and gluten free menu items. Almost everything on the menu is gluten-free, excluding the burgers and quesadillas. We highly recommend the empanadas which are 100% corn flour and fried to perfection. Also feel free to ask if they have any specialty empanadas available that day, because they had options off menu for guava/cheese and maduro/cheese empanadas. The guava & cheese was absolutely delicious and a great treat to end our trip to Tacoma :)

Love this place! The owners are Colombian and Mexican so the food is super authentic. Everyone who has served us is friendly. Make sure to come on a Sunday so you can get the delicious Sancocho.

I’ve been to this location twice and I have to say it did not disappoint. Limited menu for Colombian food but what they have available is really good. We had Bandeja paisa(not in the pictures) and it was really good. Food feels fresh and the empanadas are soooo good 😊. I will keep going to this place. Also, passion fruit juice tasted like it should.

The food is so good! I loved the salchipan and the tostones. Also really like that they have natural juices, they are so tasty and refreshing! 10/10 recommend

Edit: adding on to this review that this restaurant is so good! Went again and got all new things and we were not disappointed. I also love the atmosphere! I am Venezuelan and have been craving more places like this with the warm latin feel and this is the place! After meeting only once a couple of weeks ago the owner came out to greet us and was so warm and welcoming. So excited about this restaurant being in town. This is the real deal ❤️

Omigoodness…..

Has everyone been to the newest restaurant on Pearl St in Ruston, “Welcome”? It’s AWESOME 🤩
They have naturally allergen friendly food,
Meaning it’s not something made differently (that tastes weird) to be gluten free, nut free, etc. They are recipes that just are usually made without those things to start with! So they aren’t losing anything in taste or texture. Just pure deliciousness.
The owner, Patti, is kind, happy, energetic and fun🤩
The food was incredible 🤤
The empanadas are to die for! A choice of different fillings to choose from, hot, crispy, and cooked in a gluten free fryer!!!! I’m going to say it again, THEY HAVE GLUTEN FREE FRYERS!! That’s a really big deal for people who can’t eat gluten. We wanted more of those empanadas, but they were an appetizer. So, next time!
Quesabirria was the entree for me, and my husband, La Coqueta for my friend (you should get it with the eggs!), tacos for the dairy-free friend. We are definitely becoming regulars here. They have a beautiful bar that we will be watching the Mariners game in this weekend, with a big pile of empanadas from their GF fryer. I can’t wait…Hopefully we’ll see you there! On Pearl Street, next to Macaluso’s, across the street from the Antique Sandwich Shop.

We wanted to give this new restaurant a try. And we were glad we did. Service was excellent and food was fantastic. Some dishes are a bit pricey but they are bursting with flavors, the portions very generous and served with a smile. Many large shareable dishes. The Nachos were the best I have ever had. And it’s a fine place to watch the game. We left very satisfied and looking forward to returning.

These reviews are telling the truth. Surprisingly great food. Really clean and comfortable and the people that work there love what they are doing and that is very clear in how friendly and helpful they are. Welcome really is welcoming. I look forward to going back. (Great combo with a walk in Point Defiance Park. )

My first time at this location, lunch for staff.
The food was incredible, I had the Mamasita, as did a coworker, others had quesadillo de Pollo, classic burger (not on your typical bun). Staff was very welcoming.
I will be eating there again!

The food is filling and delicious, the restaurant is spotless and clean, but most importantly, the staff are so friendly! This restaurant is new, and has already impressed my friends and I. Do yourself a favor, and come here for a steak quesadilla!

Service was really good. Nachos were extremely basic for what I paid as well as the wings. I was also charged almost $15 more than what the menu pricing reflects. Honestly can’t recommend going here until they work those kinks out.

Take it from this South Texas foodie…this little gem is the real deal. The plantains are excellent, and the quesabirrias were well worth coming in for. Give this place a try!
