As you walk in you'll likely be greeted by the front counter associate or any of them making their way around to clean, or even just having a quick chat with some of the regulars. The colors are warm and vibrant. Just such a welcoming feeling, Hector lavoe played on the screen my entire visit iykyk and If you don't be sure to look into the artist he is a legend. The food was sooo delish! They have a daily special that allows you one meat choice, and two sides. Which only comes out to a little less than $11.00. If you're in the area be sure to check them out!

El lugar está muy bien decorado y las chicas atienden bien, pero la comida no cumple las…read moreexpectativas que uno tendría, especialmente si conoce la comida colombiana de verdad. Pedimos de entrada unas empanadas y llegaron frías, como si fueran del día anterior. Además, el ají no es del estilo tradicional colombiano, así que desde el comienzo la experiencia fue decepcionante. El ajiaco, que debería ser uno de los platos más representativos, parecía más una sopa de papa sin sabor a pollo y sin nada que resaltar. Ni siquiera le ponen crema de leche, lo cual le quita todavía más autenticidad y sabor. También se nota un cambio en la atmósfera cuando llega la administradora o la dueña. El trato hacia los hispanos se siente un poco displicente, mientras que con los americanos parece ser diferente. Por ejemplo, un grupo de americanos levantó los platos y ella les dijo que no tenían que hacerlo, pero cuando yo lo hice, esa cortesía se le olvidó. En resumen, es un lugar agradable visualmente y con buen servicio por parte de las meseras, pero la comida, para alguien de Colombia, no cumple con muchas expectativas. The place is beautifully decorated, and the servers are kind, but the food does not meet the expectations you would have, especially if you are familiar with authentic Colombian food. We ordered empanadas as an appetizer, and they arrived cold, as if they had been made the day before. On top of that, the ají is not the traditional Colombian kind, so the experience was disappointing from the start. The ajiaco, which should be one of the most representative dishes, tasted more like a bland potato soup with no chicken flavor and nothing memorable about it. They do not even serve it with cream, which makes it feel even less authentic and less flavorful. You can also feel a change in the atmosphere when the manager or owner arrives. The treatment toward Hispanic customers feels somewhat dismissive, while it seems different with Americans. For example, a group of Americans picked up their plates and she told them they did not have to do that, but when I did the same, that courtesy was forgotten. Overall, it is a visually pleasant place and the waitresses provide good service, but for someone from Colombia, the food does not live up to many expectations.

I got the mini bandeja paisa, my wife got some chicken cutlet with plantains and my baby girl got the cheeseburger with fries. They had 2 different sauces; one's some mayo type sauce and the other, their home made jalapeno sauce. That jalapeno sauce was some of the best sauces, period, that I've ever had - it had a nice kick, but not too spicy, a hint of sweetness, but more tangy and flavorful... So good that we bought their big bottle ($15). 2 days later and we are halfway done. :( My baby girl was making a huge mess with her PEZ candy and they were dropping all over, but the lady who took care of us, was extremely patient and understood our frustration. She was graceful towards us! Everywhere I look, and I don't mean to offend anyone but, too many "American" restaurants that serve the same or very similar dishes and there isn't much around that offers distinctive cuisine, but this place is different and I was glad that we ended going there, especially after going to a very disappointing restaurant the night before. If y'all read this, go check this place out and make sure to try out their jalapeno sauce!

We had never been there before and we wanted to try their Colombian cuisine. We were greeted by one of the owners as we entered. We found out that it is a family owned business. We knew that they had not received their liquor license and brought a bottle of wine. We are amazed by the number of choices on the menu. I had the red snapper meal. Normally it is fried. I asked if it could be steamed and the owner said, "Of course". My wife ordered the country platter which comes in three sizes. She ordered the small one and was stuffed. I took some of my meal home. Later the other owner came to the table to visit. Both the husband and wife are so friendly. We will continue to patronize Los Arrieros Restaurant! Next time we go for lunch. Very affordable!!!

This is a great place with authentic cuisine. We started with the chicken Empanadas which were crispy on the outside and full of delicious flavors on the inside. I'm sorry we didn't try the beef and cheese ones...maybe next time. The seafood paella was full of shrimp, octopus, mussels and chorizo over seasoned rice with fried onions, red peppers and peas. The chorizo was so good I got a few to take home. The ropa vieja was beef which was slow cooked to the point of falling apart and melting in your mouth with potatoes and a side of rice. There were three in my party and we all had at least seconds and still had some leftovers. Very enjoyment meal and would recommend.

The menu is primarily in Spanish but there are plenty of photos (if you don't speak Spanish). Look out for Vincente, the most awesome waiter (and fluent in English). He will make excellent recommendations. My favorite is the bistec encebollado (a flattened steak with sauteed onions). It comes out perfect!! Have it with the beans and rice and maduro. OMG, perfection! They have a bakery on site and everything is delicious. I love their cheese bread and dulce de leche pastries. This is the hole-in-the-wall restaurant that the connoisseurs go to while the rest of the dummies eat in the mall. My fear is as Allentown is revitalized, restaurants like this will be replaced with high-priced froufrou bistros that don't compare.

Oh, and there's no shortage of free parking at this restaurant. First off, the picture on the menu showed a little bowl for the onion stew, whereas what I got was onion stew spread over the chicken. The stew itself was tasty, but for both the stew and grilled chicken, a bit more tenderness and less chewiness would certainly have elevated both dishes. The red beans and plantains were fine, but the yellow rice lacked any discernible flavour which was disappointing. I believe this place has what it takes to be even better and that both dishes should have been better. I hope they continue to improve and serve the locals (and non-locals) for many more years.

My craving fof Colombian needed to be satisfied so how lucky that there was another place. One, it's a bit more expensive than what Im used to. Two, the food was cold quickly. The bandeja was alright but mostly rice, they give such a big container you think you're getting more but its mostly rice. The carne lacked flavor which is my favorite part so i was most disappointed about that. Everything else was good just nothing amazing. Can't comment on service or ambiance since it was takeout. The empanadas were at least very good, no regrets on those. Overall alright, but could definitely be improved.

The fiancé and I were in the mood for something different, while Easton has some great restaurants,…read morethey all tend to be in a few types of food. So we decided to try some Columbian food from Las Delicias, I was very impressed by my whole dining experience at this restaurant. The sandwiches we had were great. We had the Hamburguesa de Pollo and the Sandwich de Carnita. Both were flavorful and delicious. The Pataconeschips were well salted and paired well with the sauces included. The only issues that I had was that the sandwiches were too good, they overshadowed the rest of the food. The Chicharron and the empanadas were not up to the standards set by the sandwiches. We got delivery so I can not rate the inside of the restaurant or the interaction with the staff. The delivery was thru Grub Hub and the food was ready on time and still delivered hot. They were also very reasonably priced we got so much food that we had leftovers for the next day, all for under $50 including tip and delivery fee. If you are looking for something a little bit different in the Easton area I highly recommend ordering from here. Overall very happy with our experience here and would not mind ordering from here again.
