I still didn't know what my topping options were for them. Luckily after looking at the menu, their website, Yelp, and google images I was finally able to figure out what I wanted (too much work lol). I landed on the Pabellon Arepa which had shredded beef, black beans, cheese and plantains.... They deffffffffff needed to strain them black beans a lot more and distribute the ingredients more because it wasn't just messy, it was atomic bomb messy. I needed 100 napkins and a knife and fork to get through it. It was pretty tasty though! My hubs got the pulled pork with avocado, def not as messy and it was pretty good. We also got the cheese sticks appetizer, I would say this was just okay. It was their take on mozzarella sticks essentially. My friend ordered the Cachapas Richmonder.... It was SO SO GOOD! We all took a bite and were wowed by how good it was! She definitely won in the food ordering. I would get that next time and highly recommend it to anyone! Overall it was really good! We were all satisfied!

I've tried the Tequeños, arepas, empanadas, cachapas, and the plantain sandwich, and every single one has been worth it. It's tucked next to a gas station, which adds to the charm. Parking's a bit unpredictable, so I usually park across the street and walk over. Easy enough. The hostess is lovely. Welcoming, helpful, and always spot on with her suggestions. Whether you're dining in or grabbing food to go, Chamo's is one of those places that makes you feel good about coming back. Time for another visit.

The cashier confirmed my order, but still gave me the wrong items and they were burnt. I brought them back, and she tried to convince me it was the same thing I ordered. As if I was just supposed to eat whatever they handed me. I asked for a refund. She got an attitude, disappeared into the kitchen, and came back saying it'd be 5 minutes to fix. Seven minutes later, it was still wrong they gave me chicken instead of beef. I spent over $80 and was treated like my business didn't matter. If I pay for something, I expect to get exactly that not what you feel like giving me. Poor service. Basic food. Sloppy attitude. Beware Richmond, VA (I told you so) this was my last visit. One star.

Food was totally amazing, I would definitely order from here again…read more We've had their truck food and had some delivered and both were great. I've had the pork black beans plantain egg and cheese arepa a few times and it's awesome. I got it recently in bowl form with an arepa on the side and it was a ton of food for the value. My boyfriend had a sliced steak arepa maybe with avocado and it was also very good. The empanadas are also amazing!! Food is knockout and the arepas are stuffed full for what you pay. So good. Definitely would order again!

I didn't know what to expect but we decided to try their Pabellon beef bowl and the beef and pork empanadas. Everything came out quick and the empanadas seemed to have been made to order and were hot when brought out to us. The empanadas were crispy, hot, and full of meat filling. The Pabellon bowl came with an arepa on the side. It was our first times having arepa and we enjoyed the saltiness flavor of it. The denseness of the arepa was a new experience for the both of us, it's something that you just have to try for yourself! The bowl goes well with the light, creamy sauce that is brought out with it. The staff are kind and helpful, glad to have been able to support a local business in Charlottesville!

The name of this market has been changed to: Cielito Lindo, which is a popular Spanish song and…read moreroughly translated means "Lovely Sweet One" although "cielo" means heaven and "lindo" means pretty - combined this phrase is typically a term of endearment. This tidy little Latino market carries many Hispanic, Mexican and South American products. Being of Cuban descent, I frequently head to this site for Goya products, including rice, black beans, plantains, Adobo spices, coffee, Maria cookies, fresh fruits and veggies, tomato items, empanada shells and my "never be without" Mojo Criollo Goya marinade. This marinade truly is the spice of life and I use it in many of my recipes! You will also find baked goods, household items, and sundries at this store. There's a deli/butcher in the back and a frozen food section. There's also a small restaurant and pupuseria serving Latin fare, from Cuban sandwiches to tacos to tostones to tamales to yucca to soups/sides and more. They serve Cuban coffee, horchata, Latin sodas, and other drinks and some tempting desserts, like flan and tres leches cake. For an inexpensive, quick bite in a casual, no nonsense eatery with lots of festive atmosphere, you've gotta try Cielito Lindo, it really is "a slice of heaven". And not to worry if you don't speak Spanish, some of the folks there speak English. ¡Provecho!

The amount of time to get it to the table is at least 45 minutes. The flavor and seasoning is on point. The ambience was ok. I would recommend they decorate the table with glass cups which retain the smell of grease, less. It was so distracting to turn the metal cup around after serving myself water. To be distracted by the smell of grease on the cup. I smelled all the cups on the table and they all smelled the same way. The staff members try to do their best, but it is not a 5 star service if you are expecting that. It is ok.. I would go back with lots of time (not hungry) and ask for bottled water.

If they use the Mango purée use a little bit more because I hardly tasted the mango. I ordered beef empanadas and received 3 chicken and the other 5 were beef. Loved the freshness of the empanada and they were fried just perfectly! I will say I felt that there should be a little more protein in them and a little bit more flavor! I was disappointed because for 8 empanadas I was only given 2 small little sauce cups! First I'm not sure what is going on with some Colombian restaurants but please bring back Aji! Since when did we Colombians like our empanadas with the Mayo/ketchup sauce and the green sauce?? Please give us Aji. The chicharron was fresh and it was obvious by how crisp and delicious it was! I hope to be back to eat here and have a full meal!! They have a bar area and the decor is very typical to Colombia!
