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.

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.

First, the one negative. There's a big neon sign in the window that says "Breakfast" and there was…read morenothing breakfast related on the menu. Maybe it was a time of day thing, but we went at 11am on Saturday so I figured it would be available. Not a big deal. Menu has lots of options. We got the bistec al caballo (the closest thing to a traditional "breakfast" I saw as it was steak and eggs) and the enchiladas suizas with chicken. Both plates were excellent. Not a traditional steak, more like a thin piece of flank steak that had been braised until tender, but not quite to the point where it was falling apart under its own weight. It paired well with the fried eggs and the salsa criolla. All served over a bed of white rice that absorbed all of the flavors nicely. I added a chile toreado on the side and chopped it up with the rest of the salsa criolla on top of the steak to give it a bit of heat. Highly recommended. The enchiladas were also excellent. Chicken looked and tasted like it was cooked in the same sauce as the beef. The chicken was a bit dry but the cheese and green sauce that covered the enchiladas more than made up for it. Served with beans and a bit of rice with peas and carrots, everything on the plate was great. If you don't speak Spanish, you may have trouble communicating with the server. I can't speak for everyone there but I'm fairly certain the server working when we went did not speak English. But they are on DoorDash, so this is also an option if you want to order delivery or takeout. Sign on the door said they were BYOB, but we didn't ask what the restrictions were or if there was any additional charge for this. It looked like they had a good selection of aguas frescas as well.

Even the tostones took at least 20 min, and that was the app... despite the slow service, the food really hit the spot. The tostones were phenomenal and were served with a tangy, sweet sauce.

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.
