Egg was a bit overdone & arepa was decent though somewhat crispy  Beans were decent. Plantain was so-so (not crispy or sweet). Pork tenderloin was pretty tasty but tough & dry especially for a tenderloin. Rice was decent, with a slight flavour, but a bit mushy. Plantain was crispy. The restaurant interior was decorated quite nicely but was very warm (in summer) & service was disorganised & some servers didn't speak English well so communication was sometimes difficult. I asked if the pork tenderloin had a sauce; they said no but it came with a tomato & peppers sauce. They also billed me wrongly.

Incredibly delicious food, authentically Colombian, big portions, and amazing value for money. The…read moreseafood dishes are filled with various different kinds of high-quality seafood to the brim (more protein than rice). All the staff are so friendly - from the waitstaff to the chefs / owners and kitchen staff, everyone in the restaurant seems to exhibit the Latin American hospitality and friendliness. The place feels homey, cozy, and festive with the music in the background (from the TV screen on the wall), and big photos depicting different places in Colombia along the wall. Ambience is very laid-back and casual, with amazing food that tastes homemade and authentic. It took a while for the food to cook and come out (about 40 minutes) - mostly because of the Cazuela de Mariscos (seafood soup) that took the longest to cook. It was also during a very busy time on a weekend. They seemed to have a constant flow of incoming catering and take-out orders (a good sign), and the restaurant itself was packed. All / most mains come with coconut rice, salad, and tostones (fried plantains). As for drinks, you can order freshly squeezed juices in either water or milk. We ordered the fresh strawberry & blackberry juice in water, as the one in milk would make it more like a smoothie. Each juice order comes in a jug (whether it be a small or large jug). This came as a surprise to us - really good value for such a large volume of juice ($6 for a whole "small" jug that turned out to be quite big, enough to refill each glass a few times for 2 people). The juice itself tasted fresh, natural, and refreshing. Dishes that we tried: 1) Filete de Tilapia con Camarones (grilled tilapia fish fillet & shrimps with coconut rice, plantain, and salad) - Big pieces of fish and lots of small shrimps, in a very delectable sauce. 2) Arroz Marinero (seafood rice with plantain & salad) - Loved this dish. The rice was a bit soupy which I liked. It was a bit like a soupy paella (including the rice) - very delicious and packed with various kinds of seafood. 3) Cazuela de Mariscos (seafood soup with coconut rice, plantain, and salad) - Very creamy soup, like a chowder. I'm not a big fan of chowders / cream-based soups in general, but others liked it and said this was good. 4) SIDE: Ensalada (House Salad) 5) Arepa de Chocolo con Queso (sweet corn dough with cheese) All of the main dishes were EXCELLENT - loved the mixed seafood (fish fillet, shrimps, octopus, squid, etc.). There was so much seafood in every dish. In most places, you get more carbs / rice compared to the protein. Here, it was the opposite. The coconut rice was a bit dry but it's decent - good to soak up the sauces of the main dishes. The salad is just shredded cabbage and carrot with big sliced tomato. I was a big fan of the salad dressing (some creamy mayo-like dressing), but luckily the dressing was only at the top of the salad (the bottom part of the salad remained fresh and crunchy, which I liked). We ordered the Arepa de Chocolo con Queso for to go. It was different than the Venezuelan arepa that I'm used to. The Colombian arepa seemed to be sweeter and more buttery. It probably would've been better if it was eaten right after it was freshly made, and while it was still warm. There was a lot of cheese in the arepa, giving it a nice salty and savoury contrast to the sweet corn dough. After you're done the meal, you go up to the counter to pay (instead of having the bill brought to your table). Great food overall - I would not hesitate to come back.

Keep in mind the crowd would be mostly Spanish speaking given their marketing on IG for it is all in Spanish. We came here around lunch though the owner mentioned it's much more lively at night. It's cool that they're already decorated for the upcoming Halloween events. You can grab some pupusas for just $5, which comes with some cabbage veggies, sauce and you can get your pupusas with toppings included in the price, I got mine with cheese and pumpkin. They also have tres leches cake and Kolashanpan, a soda from El Salvador. We tried the soda, and it really reminded me of the Chubby sodas I had as a kid. The owner recommended the tres leches cake and it's really good too! They confirmed their main customers are mostly Salvadorans and Mexicans. It's apparent as some menu items are only listed in Spanish, giving the authentic feel. Definitely a charming mom-and-pop spot worth checking out to try some foods you don't often find in Toronto. Service was friendly and welcoming through I can tell the owner isn't super fluent in English.

Rincón Paisa already had many positive reviews on major platforms. Plus, I had never had Colombian food . On the storefront, a worker happened to see me taking photos outside and kindly welcomed me to take more. My family and I went into the restaurant. There were many signs showing it is an authentic one: 1. The indoor decoration has a strong Latin American vibe -- wooden furniture, flowers, Latin music, etc. 2. Couldn't understand anything on the menu 3. All customers and workers spoke in Spanish We were there to have brunch. I don't recall exactly which dishes we ordered that day; however, we were super full! The portions of their meals are huge. All the things on the plate were tasty. There were many different ingredients on the plate: plantain, eggs, chorizo, fried pork belly, ground beef, avocado, rice, beans, etc. A very good deal. We might have seemed too unfamiliar with the food, because I didn't even know how to eat Empanadas. After I ordered an Empanada and let the servers in the restaurant watch me eat it awkwardly, a server who I guessed might be the owner treated us to two pastries -- one looked like a ball, and the other was flat bread. I looked them up by AI, and they should be Buñuelo and Almojábana, two cheese pastries from Colombia. I hope it's appropriate, but Buñuelo may be the most delicious cheese bread I've ever had -- it's tastier than the main dishes . I think it's a beautiful local business. If you're curious and haven't had Colombian food before, definitely give it a shot .

I ended up grabbing some empanadas and holy shit these are tasty. They were so fresh and crispy, I got one chicken and potato empanada and one cheese. The chicken one was wrapped in a corn dough and the cheese one was flour I think but both were really, really good-- and cheap! $2.50 per any flavor. They have tamales here too, I'd like to come back to try them. The interior is also very clean and the decor is so cute. Guy with the tattoos and stretched ears at the front was also really nice. I wish I had more time to try a dish!! I saw other peoples' food and it looked so tasty. Great portions and beautiful dinnerware as well. Will definitely be back and highly recommend for a quick bite :)

We decided to check it out and we were not disappointed. The pupusas and the tamales were amazing! Probably the best I've ever had. The pupusas were bigger than the ones I'm used to having and were really stuffed. The tamales were delicious as well! Definitely worth the price and drive. The only thing I will say is to avoid the washrooms. The hallway to get to the washroom was really dark and the washrooms were not the cleanest. Other than that, stick to the food and good customer service you will not be disappointed.

Walked in not knowing what to expect…read more On my left there was a shelf with a small amount of grocery items, a refrigerated case with Jarritos soda and Inca Cola; on my right, there were a few tables; and in the back, a counter with a cash register. Looking at the all Hispanic clientele, I was wondering if I should have brushed up on my Socal Junior High Spanish. The owner runs the counter; she's a jovial woman from Guatamala who speaks English with a thick accent. Order at the counter and have a seat. OUR ORDER: - Chicken Tacos - more like taquitos. These were small but had good taste and crunch. PS they do have regular soft tacos but the fried ones are more popular. - Pork tamale - they use pork rib meat so watch out for the bones. I liked the tender and tasty pork, but not the taste of the masa they used. - Carne Asada Plancha - again good taste (there's a theme here) but too much gristle. - Tortilla was thick: crisp on the outside and soft in the middle not the same as the Mexican type. - Pico De Gallo was salty I wouldn't mind trying out more things on the menu if I was in the area. Rating 2.5 rounded up for good flavor and friendly service.

Not a bad spot for dinner…read more I pass this place often on the way to work and I was taken in by the bright sign and the promise of good Colombian food, which I've never had. Note, this isn't the place to hit if you're in a rush or super duper hungry. Everything takes a while, from getting your drinks, to your food, to your bill. The Hubster ordered the Pechuga a la Cazuela con Arroz, Papas Fritas y Ensalada, which was chicken in a wine sauce with rice and fries. He really really enjoyed this. I ordered the Bandeja Colombiana which was a couple strips of steak, one strip of pork belly, a Colombian sausage, a fried egg on rice and plantains, avocado and salad. The meat was kind of overcooked. The steak was chewy and the pork belly was just hard. It was tough to eat. The flavour was there, though. The rice was great, as was the sausage.The beans were INCREDIBLE. The salad on both our meals was kind of wilty and the iceberg lettuce variety. All in all, it wasn't anything super special, but the portions were very good for the price. I'd be inclined to go back and check it out again.
