Gran colombia is my top Colombian restaurant in Houston!…read more This place has been around for more than 10 years and they have since slightly moved locations but stayed in the same area. They renovated and everything is much nicer inside. Area is much bigger and modern. They have indoor seating with a huge covered patio and a playground for kids. Over the years their quality, flavor and good customer service has remained consistent. They treat you like family. I love that they offer a dish called Tipiquito it is a smaller version of the traditional Colombian dish known an 'Bandeja Paisa'. Not all Colombian restaurants offer this smaller version. I am happy to share about my experience when I helped coordinate a work event to feature Colombian food and I secured a catering order with Gran Colombia! They were quick to help me over the phone, they answered all my questions, they were willing to make the drive to memorial area to deliver the food. Every single step to complete the order was so easy and received the best customer service. Everyone was very happy with the food and service. I will always recommend Gran colombia! It is a must try!

Grabbed a bite from them while out at Rosehill Beer Garden this past weekend. I had the Papas…read moreRicas. Crinkle cut fries with pork, pineapple, jalapenos, and a couple sauces. They were phenomenal. The fries were perfectly crisp (homemade or not), the pork succulent, the sauces flavorful, and the pineapple with the fresh cut jalapenos were the perfect balance of acid and heat to the rest of the dish. I finished them before I could even think to take a picture (I had to steal this one from Facebook). I honestly cannot wait to try more of their food. Bonus points for the A&M pride. #GigEm The reason for deducting a star is due to an accidental (I hope) pricing error. The Papas Ricas are listed on the menu for $8. I was charged $12.99 after tax. I assumed they must have added the $3 queso option without requesting it. This was not the case. I was left scratching my head with quesoless premium edition fries.

I was so pleased that I brought my family back for dinner last night. The atmospheres was warm, welcoming, and full of positive energy. It was wonderful to see the original owner back doing what he does best. The food was absolutely outstanding. I am Cuban so I should know. Every dish was fresh, flavorful and prepared to meet the standards. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the service made us feel right at home. We are beyond thrilled to have them back and have some real Cuban cuisine in the neighborhood. If you are looking for authentic, delicious food and a great dining experience, I highly recommend Rice and Beans.

Honestly, average…read more It's a pretty large venue with outdoor seating. I'm not a fan of the food although my in-laws really like it. Service is hit or miss as we been here a few times. Normally they are on the slower side as well. The cheese bread is legit. I'm sure my in-laws will continue to come here, but overall it's my not cuisine.

The food is very good, exept clado de res was not so good. I do think is very expensive though. The place is very nice and cozy too. I love the Bible scriptures they have there too. It's very nice!! Just maybe a few changes they need to make as well with customer service. The girls sometimes don't have the best attitude.

Authentic Dominican/Caribbean food in Willowbrook. Who knew?…read more I remember this place from a birthday party decades ago. The space was a bit bigger (they've since redesigned it smaller), but the crowds were smaller. Success hasn't tarnished their food. It was a very rainy and soggy afternoons and the place was packed. We managed a table and ordered. Can't go wrong with the delicious shrimp mofongo. I honestly think the sauce is the icing on that cake, made all the more delicious with a squeeze of lemon. Whew! Service was fast and dinner came out at a reasonable pace. The owner is so friendly and stopped by our table to make sure things were good. Better than good! If you're in the Willowbrook area do yourself a favor and stop in for lunch or dinner. Prices are a little steep, but what's isn't these days?

Food is very good, they have lunch specials during the week including pernil, pollo guisado, etc…read morefor about $12-13. I ordered the pollo guisado and moro, both were good and we have a little left over. My partner ordered the pica pollo and the fried chicken was decent. The food does take some time, and servers did not check in too often so I would recommend ordering ahead of time (unless you have a long lunch break), There are plenty of tables, but it is a little dark inside, 2 bathrooms inside. The juice was on the sweet side so just watered it down (wish they have smoothies), but they get 5 stars overall for the flavor and the price point. Plenty of parking as it's in located along other stores.
