“Here at SABOR Y PUNTO I have eaten the best empanadas of my life, and José's eggs, I recommend them, what a delight of flavor, come and try them. And what impressed me most was the special and dedicated attention of the waitresses. I was very satisfied.“

“I am from the neighborhood(live on 42nd) and been there a bunch of times. Food is great, they have good choices and staff is friendly yet professional. I also pass by there 4-5 times a week and always see that they are running a tight operation and place is always clean and neat. Also you can see the kitchen as you order the food. They are pretty organized and clean. Food tastes great. Never had issues. Glad to have places like this in my hood.“

“I was reminded of exactly why I love this café when picking up some pastries today:• The coffee is delicious and everything is made with attention and care.• The décor and music make me smile every time I walk in. (When is the last time you can say that about any chain eatery?)• The women who own and operate the café are super friendly, always greet you with a smile and are clearly very competent at running a business. (Did I mention everything is spotless?)I hope you support this family business – I know I will.“

“Hello!How beautiful when everything comes together to achieve a pleasant moment, many thanks to all the staff, especially Jairo for paying attention to every detail.We celebrated a birthday and everything went perfect.Thank you very much to all.“

“The best chicken soup in the LIC delivery area. When I'm not feeling well, I don't have energy to my make my chicken soup from scratch. Found this place on yelp, and their soup is by far the most homemade tasting ever. So comforting and delicious! Sorry no pic because I finished it too fast.. but had large chunks of carrot, potatoes, herbs and lots of fresh fall off the bone dark meat chicken.“

“Took home two seafood entrees with sides. Absolutely delicious, large portions. Obviously prepared with care and quality ingredients. Will be returning for more!“

“Great place for good tasting Columbian style cuisine at a decent value for what you're paying. The drinks are decent as well. It's not 5 star but you'll be satisfied with it.Kid-friendliness: Nice sized kid portion meals and flavored virgin pina coladas“

“12/10. Incredible food. Large quantity of food for the price, and extremely high quality. Few ways in which could be better. Excellent service as well, and very clean and up-beat atmosphere. Thank you Isabel and our other waiter for a fantastic evening!! We will be back ??“

“The food was tasty, the portions are large, one plate serves 2 people.The place is very clean and beautiful.4 stars because the rest of the experience should not be influenced by the gesticulating waiter and the fact that I ordered something and he brought me something different (he didn't want to bring what I asked for, just what he wanted) he can barely eat.“

“Came by with my family to have a nice lunch together. Food was delicious!! Only down side is some had to wait a while for their food while some had their food already for a bit. Aside from that I recommend this place, good variety of dishes:) decent prices too“

“Delighted with the food, the atmosphere in the back and Elberth's attention, which is the best! Always attentive to his clients, super friendly and willing to provide a great experience. That's why every time I can I go to Mr. MarioParking: It is very difficult to find parking. Terrible!“

“It's a great coffee and breakfast spot!! They have lots of Colombian bakes. My favorite is always Pandebono, which is cheesy, a little sweet roll, I love it with coffee. I had also they healthy breakfast sandwich Bella, which is grilled portobello mushrooms, avocado, lettuce mix, walnuts, carrots, onions, and parmesan cheese and I also added sunny side up egg. It was really good. I'm definitely recommending this spot. ?“

“I. Food II Ambience III Predictability I. Food Slow roasted pork - most excellent. Most excellent. Rice with beans - very nice. Octopus salad - great dressing and bits of salad, and I think I had mistaken expectations. I've only had grilled octopus in the past, at white table cloth restaurants, and I'm guessing that those octopus samples were massaged and massaged and massaged. (Remember the great movie, Jiro Dreams of Sushi? One of the sous chefs had to massage each octopus for 45 minutes before it was considered ready to be presented.) The flavor, by way of the dressing, was great. The octopus itself was tough, maybe because it was marinated and not grilled. How tough? It took me a couple of tries to spear a piece with a metal fork and longer than that to fully chew it. If you're good with that, then it's a must have. II Ambience Yes, it's a food truck by a school playground with no seating. Puerto Rican (?), Mexican (?), Latin X (?) music at a strong but not conversation-killing volume spills out of a speaker, all upbeat, great arrangements: horns, strings, and of course percussion. It'd be great music for a party or festival. Which Lechonera basically is. III Predictability So. Google has it opening at noon, and a 2015 GrubStreet review ( has the pork coming out in batches at noon, 1:00, 1:30, 2:30, and 4 p.m. Today, 4/28/2024) we got there at 12:45, and there was a line of about 50 people. No movement on the line. I asked people at the front what time they'd gotten there and they said 11:30 and that people had started lining up at noon. The first batch came out at 1:20 and the people in the front of the line went in at 1:32. We ordered and got served around 3:20, though they didn't have the shrimp pastillos or the mofongo. So, overall: fun party atmosphere, excellent slow roasted pork, and leisurely service, at least today. It took 2 hours for 50 people to be served, which isn't crazy slow, and if the first batches had come out at noon, as advertised, instead of 1:20, our wait would have probably been one hour instead of two. I'm glad we went. The vibe is great, the pork is succulent with a beautifully crisp skin. But it'll probably be a while before going again, and if the food is slow to come out and the offerings spotty, we'll probably move on immediately instead of waiting. And waiting. And waiting.“

“I don't give it five stars because they made us wait a few minutes before making us sit down, there were unoccupied tables and finally a man who was not the waitress seated us, but when it came to quality, quantity, price 100% recommended. I would return without a doubt. Personal recommendation, I have a baby who is learning to eat and I asked for a plate and they brought me one of tableware, which I returned for obvious reasons, so some disposable plates would not be bad for the little ones.“

“This place looks LOVELY! I used to live a block away from them over a year ago so I would pass by pretty frequently after work to get some alfajores, pan de bono or chicken and cheese buns -and their pastries were always very very good ?Super clean and cozy with many outdoor seats, perfect for summer - not really that many seats indoor thoughI passed by again a couple of days ago and their alfajores have changed quite a bit ? not really a fan of the new version BUT their pan de bono was delicious!They now have more pastry options (like pan de bono with guava filling ? - super tasty by the way)I would definitely love to return another time to grab some breakfast and coffee - and try some of their latest menu additions“

“The girls who serve. They are very active, attentive to the client, and they are very paisas, regardless of where Sean is from. From the place where they come from Colombia. Because they put effort into their work. Like some good country then.!!!“

“We went here to celebrate my grandmother’s life. While it was an emotional day for my family- Carlos turned it around and gave us the best service. He made excellent recommendations and our orders were on point. He was kind and patient. I am so thankful we had him to make our evening a wonderful night despite missing our grandmother. Thank you Carlos! The staff is excellent- the food is delicious- the drinks are strong ( they have HH too!). We are regulars are this point and will continue to keep coming for great service and delicious food.“

“El café delicioso,un excelente ambiente“

“My first time have arepas and I'm impressed. I got their arepas de choclo with steak and it was fantastic. The only negative I had, was that it was quite salty. The more you eat it, the saltier it does get, and it was a bit heavy so I was very sleepy afterwards. But other than that, it was really good. I recommend the tostones with guacamole, it came out hot and fresh and it was so good!!Also tried their black beans and rice. The beans had an interesting smoky flavor to it.“

“authentic Colombian food. delicious“

“I first ate here in 2012 with about 20 Colombian adoptees and have been back so many times despite not living in Queens. I thought it had a different name, but I recognize the decor. This place was amazing and we went around lunch time. Many of us have friends and family in Colombia and we loved this place so much. I remember going there with a friend and not really knowing for sure how to get there one time as we took the subway, but I was still able to locate it. During that weekend we also went to an overpriced place, attempting to be "upscale" and it was no where in the same category as this restaurant. They other place even ripped us on the bill because there were some many of us and they claimed we "must have bought alcoholic drinks". They ripped us off and a girl had to put it on her credit card to get the reservation and now the bill was about $300 to $375 more and we all knew what we ordered food wise and nobody drank I'm excess so we just all chipped in to cover this rip of. If that's not bad enough they had our event published in some magazine or newspaper. Don't waste your time with those places, go here and you will not be disappointed. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. Ciao.“

“I’m so happy that I ignored the reviews and ordered from here anyway. I’m Colombian, so if I think the food is good it’s because it is! Their hot chocolate was authentic and delicious! Their buñuelos are huge which is a plus! The portions of their dishes are perfect. I was extremely happy with my order. I’m so happy that I was able to order through seamless and they delivered to me 2 miles away. My food and drink were hot and fresh! I was so delighted that I even called the restaurant to thank them because their hot chocolate spoke to my soul. I can’t wait to try their soups over the weekend.“

“The food is delicious. The people are nice unlike other Spanish restaurants, as we do not speak Spanish and they speak little English. They do not make us feel as if we’re an inconvenience as other restaurants tend to do.. it’s a cute little place I would even think about having a get together there. Cozy and good vibes ..“

“El café delicioso,un excelente ambiente“

“Ok so the food here is PRETTY DAM GOOD like I got an arepa and shorty got a arepa as well it was delicious . The ISSUE WAS ITS WAY OVER PRICED IM TALKING ABOUT LIKE COME ON 43 BUCKS FOR 2 AREPA AND 2 DRINKS I WAS STILL HUNGRY AFTER EATING THIS SO U understand portions are on the small side and its pricey but definitely taste great just not worth the price there's tons of other options where u bang for ur buck.“

“We have become regulars!! Great food and great service!“

“Came here cause of fung bros video and got the bourbon chicken and el toro(oxtail), thought we ate the el Toro first but realize it was the chicken and it tatste even better than the first one, comes with a sweet Chili and lime sauce, the lime sauce was really refreshing and made it tatse even better. So good we forgot to take a photo til the last bite lol, does take about 10 mins to make but it's made super fresh and well worth the wait, we'll definitely come back again when we visit nyc.“

“The food here is incredibly delicious and authentic. The owners are so sweet and friendly, they take pride in putting out quality food that tastes like a vacation in Cali. The empanadas are delicious as is the accompanying aji and the jugo de lull is fresh. I have so many dishes I still want to try, the menu is extensive. Native Colombians and anyone else would have a great time eating here.“

“Went here for a breakfast/brunch with my mom and we got the Mexican and Colubian breakfasts along with a coffee each. We also got the guacamole and jalapeños sauces.Coffee was very nice, not too strong and very smooth.My mom loved the Mexican breakfast. The beans were very flavorful and the egg scramble paired very well with pickled jalapeños. The tortillas were nice and hot and didn't break apart even when piled high with beans, rice, and eggs. Highly recommend.I also very much recommend the Columbian breakfast which came with an arepa with cheese, steak, and the same egg scramble. The steak was pretty good. While thin and cooked all the way through, it was crusty, well seasoned, and tender. I poured loads of the jalapeño sauce on top which was great. The arepa was also very nice, crispy bottom and nice gooey cheese.The sauces were also pretty good. I highly recommend the jalapeño sauce. A little kick balanced with a good sour and sweetness. The guacamole sauce was also pretty good, if a bit watery.The portions of the meal were perfectly good and filled you up but for $15 a pop, it's most definitely not an every morning meal.The highlight really was the service. Thr food arrived quickly and hot. The lady at the front desk was very nice and offered for us to finish our meals before paying. She seemed very enthusiastic and was happy to give me more jalapeño sauce when asked.The dining area itself was clean and cute. Nice music and vibes. The cushions on the seats were clean and not deflated and the tables were very clean.Overall, very nice place to eat with some damn good food. If you're looking for a great weekend breakfast/lunch, come here.“

“I have been dining at this wonderful family location for over 20 years that in my opinion should be considered a landmark. The service is unmatched, the Colombian food served here for lack of a better word is "Perfect" every single time I come here the food reminds me so much of my childhood with my own Colombian family. I highly recommend this location nestled in the middle of Jackson heights. So if u want good food, great service and affordability then this place is the spot to come to.Kid-friendliness: Highly family friendly.“

“I love a good empanada and while these are not the empanadas from Caracas at Far Rockaway beach, being that these are so accessible, I am a fan. I picked up an assortment of 10 empanadas to take to a party and they were a huge hit. I wasn't sure about the "fried" arepas being too greasy given I am used to baked empanadas, but I really enjoyed both the baked and fried options that I tried. I wish that they offered more baked options as those are more "basic" - just chicken, beef, cheese, potato and some of the more specialty empanadas are truly delicious. In particular I liked the bombay, greek spinach pie, and spicy chicken. While the 10 empanadas just came in a paper bag, each was individually wrapped with a stamp on the bag as to which flavor it was.“

“Absolutely love the food here! IMO, it is hard to find an authentic Colombian joint that serves luscious food and showcases their origin's unique flavor. Each bite delivered a delectable and VERY satisfying punch. From their homemade hearty beef stew to their generous portions of tamales...my family loved every bit of it. All you heard was "WOW" for 5 straight minutes as we all dug into our food. Their bakery also had a wide selection of baked goods, which my kids absolutely loved. All in all, El Punto provides great service, amazing food, and good vibes.“

“not a fan of leaving negative reviews, but for the love of jesus, why was my fried fried fish in need of flavor? it looked amazing -- sadly, it didn't taste amazing. the green sauce on the table, same thing: no salt! damnit. it is a dream to make it to JH just for the joy of colombian culinary goodness. once again, mario's (fried fish) failed to impress. and i love fish. ?“

“Wanted a light snack and decided to try the empanadas here. Gentleman in the front was very helpful and accommodating, took my order and payment. Food was ready ~10min and was piping hot. Well made, good portion, baked empanadas that were very tasty. I will try other dishes here when in the area with no hesitation.Parking: Double parking or paid/unpaid street parking in the vicinity.Wheelchair accessibility: Manual doors, vestibule with more doors, not wheelchair accessible without assistance.“

“I've been here several times I like to food and drink atmosphere here. I had a chicken sauté today but something wrong with chicken but it's fine. The manager Raul is a great person he come to apologize from me he's so professional and also bartender Helen is she's so sweetheart thank you guys I appreciate it.“

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

“loved their calentao. Awesome service and clean restaurant.“
