    I tried the beef arepa and it was tasty. It is portable and fluffy. The service here was nice. The cashier only knew Spanish but was quick to answer my questions by any means. The location here is small but it does light up during the night. There is music and glow that makes it special. I definitely recommend this place if it is convenient.

    I wanted to like this place but it really falls short. I had ordered from the bakery a mango flan cake. It took an obscene amount of time for me to obtain my order and then also pay for it. It was 7 dollars which is in line with other bakeries for pricing. However the flan cake was not tasty at all. There was no real flavor to the cake.... It was too much cake and then the flan layer was so thin that it didn't make up for the lack of flavor of the cake. It didn't taste like vanilla or mango. Just sugar. It was disappointing.

    Always get empanadas to go from this spot but today finally had time to dine in. It wasn't too busy but this place can get packed at times. Its casual and the service is always good. We had the arepa sampler and it was so good. They are definitely softer than the traditional hand held stuffed ones. These need a fork ,it's soft and the toppings were so well seasoned. Chicken, guacamole and beef but many other options. Also got the Sweet plantain areapacone with steak. The whole plantain is stuffed with cheese and then topped with steak cooked to your liking. I wanted medium but hubby insisted on getting it well done. I promised to poke him in the eyes with my fork if it was tough. The food takes a little while to come out depending on your order because items like what we got had to be prepared. Our food came out piping hot . Everything was well seasoned and so delicious. The steak was amazingly soft even at well done. So hubby got to keep his eyesight. The arepa was so stuffed with beef and a few chunks of potato, its a meal by itself. We returned a few days later to try the lunch special and it didn't disappoint. Great value for $12 . Rice, beans and tender beef with onions. So yummy and comforting. It comes with a beverage and we added soup for $3 . Then we spilt passion Fruit cake for dessert. Meats are well prepared here and food taste really homemade.

    The food was authentic, quality and tasty. Casual ambiance. Quick service. Menu is in English and Spanish. My favorite thing so far is the arepa with mozzerella cheese and condensed milk. It's simple and delicious. Plus: there's a parking lot in the back.

    Chicken Empanada to go!

    I'm giving them 4 stars based on my experience. I read a lot of the reviews and see they are very mixed. I found them while driving down Cross Bay Blvd on my way to the Belt Parkway. Honestly if it wasn't for traffic I would have missed them. Good choice for authentic Columbia's food. They offer a pretty extensive menu. Anything from Empanadas, salads, soups, entrees, burgers, deserts, juices, etc. Hey offer catering, sit down service and delivery. You come here for the food, not the decor. Prices are good and service was good on my visit. I only came by to pick up some chicken empenada s as I know I was going to hit some major traffic with the NYC 5 borough bike tour. The empanadas were good, they were fresh so the food has a quick turnover, and the apple, beet and orange juice was made right in front of me. I would recommend them based on my experience, if I'm in the area I would stop buy and try an entree. From what I observed customers eating I would be curious to try one.

    The food was so good and authentic that I'd visit this place daily if my stomach allowed it! Each dish was so flavorful and generous in portion size. My coworker and I visited on a Tuesday evening and it was nice and empty. The staff were all so patient and helpful. The restaurant played Olympics and nice Spanish music that made us feel so comfortable. I can't wait to return to try more dishes.

    tried their chicken arepa and was surprised by how sweet the dough was. the sauce on top of the chicken was pretty tasty, and found it complimented the arepa pretty well. workers were fast and kind!

    Amazing food, with good portions, Casual atmosphere .Only issue is their customer service is really lacking. You're forgotten as soon as your food comes. Tried multiple times and failed to flag a server over to order dessert or refills. Honestly we could have walked out without paying if we wanted to. Could be a great place if they could just fix this.

I'm not going to pretend that I am the best person to determine what an authentic Colombian experience is (never had the pleasure of visiting Colombia), but if this isn't it, I can't imagine what they're missing. The staff speaks to you in Spanish exclusively, which made me glad one of my boys is Honduran. The TVs all over the place are playing what appear to be Colombian music videos that were made in the 80s featuring old men and attractive young women. They've got buckets of Colombian beer and frosted mugs so cold that the beer turned to slush around the sides. They've got a platter called the Bandeja la Berraca that consists of rice, beans, steak, plantains, eggs, avocado salad, little corn cakes, blood sausage, other sausage (amazing), and a giant side of chicharron. Eat and drink to you're bursting, while adorable Colombian kids run around the place. And rejoice that you live in NYC, where these things can be had.

But the chicharron and frijoles were great. The jugo de guanabana was delicious. Empanada was good too, though I would've liked a bit more of a flavor kick.

That's unacceptable for any business. Instead of helping resolve a simple issue, they made it unnecessarily complicated. Customer service here needs serious improvement.

He was so shocked at the response that he walked away but I found it so disrespectful and unprofessional. My advice to the manager, is fix your deceiving menu pictures and charge a fair price for the small plates you serve but most importantly learn to be a manager, a leader, and learn manners. That is not the best answer you could've given a customer. And lastly, I will never recommend the lunches and dinners here. Bakery is good, fair, and easy to not mess up in.
