Hidden Gem!! Stopped by this place for a cup of coffee on my way next door for a pedi. Came back after picked up some empanadas. Next time grabbed some random baked goods and a slice of cheesecake. I have NOT had anything that was anything but excellent. From the coffee to the bread with ham and pineapple (wut?). The ladies behind the counter have always been very friendly and suggestions always been great. The shop is small but done nicely and always have been clean and well maintained! read more

This review is for their BAKERY ONLY. The Colombian baked goods here are phenomenal. The pan de bono is perfectly chewy and buttery, with the right amount of cheesiness inside. The empanadas are also really yummy. I find the actual food to be really sub-par, and would not recommend eating here (lots of burnt, crispy, fried foods with no flavor and hard to chew because of how badly burnt it is) but I highly recommend the bakery for true Colombian baked treats. The food portion and bakery are like night and day, which is why this is just focused on baked goods only. read more

This is small quaint bakery/restaurant. The store front is split into two sections, one side is the restaurant and the other is a bakery and kitchen with a few seatings. The bakery section is also where you order to go. The ladies working there are very nice. Disappointed that they didn't have any ice cream or fruits available from their menu. Here's what I ordered and my thoughts on it: Chicken and beef empanadas $2.90 each The shell is harder and the inside is filled with meat and mashed up potatoes. It came with two sauces. One mild and one was spicy. The shell had a much harder exterior than most empanadas and the filling tasted well seasoned and I enjoyed it. Chorizo $6 this come with one piece of chorizo and a piece of yuca frita. Very delicious and not overly salty. Tamal Tolimense Tolima Region Tamale $16.00 This was supposed to be star of the meal. Very disappointed that the meat in it was very dry and not flavorful. The masa on the other hand was soft and flavorful. The meat tasted like left over meat that was boiled. Definitely not recommending this dish. Tre leche $6 This cake was delicious. Definitely on the sweeter side. The highlight of this place is the chorizo and the empanadas. Would come back and try the breakfast platters. SB: they do charge more if you use card. read more

You can stop by serving fresh food today's food was $40 and it's going to the garbage but it's very ridiculous when you have a restaurant with high-quality pictures that your food is nice and fresh. This food is not fresh and I recommend that people stay away from your read more

Best empanadas in Bay Ridge, hands down. You can taste that they make them from scratch daily. Gotta be one of the best empanadas place in all of NYC. read more

The best Colombian food in Bay Ridge, hands down! Even w the newer restaurants opening up recently. I take a star off because the staff behind the register always have attitude which is annoying to deal with read more

I always like to come here for empanadas and a jugo de morra when I'm in the neighborhood. I recently had the tres leche and for $6 I expected it to rock my world, which it successfully did. I wasn't e impressed with how close their bathroom is to the kitchen but then again this spot is really small. There isn't much room for dining but the food is amazing so it's best to take-out. read more

Great Colombian cafe. Really small shop and will be easily missed because of the location. I have only had their snacks and they all are really good. The service is efficient. read more

This place is disgusting and a complete ripoff. I ordered the arepas with chorizo and Chicharron. The arepa had no flavor, the guacamole was so salty , chicharron was stale, and the chorizo was okay. To top it off there was a hair on my plate. I throw everything out and yet they want to charge $15&$18 for this garbage. I would not recommend this place. Also, notice the price difference between Uber eats and what was charged when I called in the order for a pickup. Presentation was just thrown together. Places like this are really bring down the neighborhood. read more

Cali Tajadas - Beef empanadas, chicken empanadas, papa rellena, cheese empanada, and pan de bono - Colombian Near Me - Bay Ridge, New York

For my fashion show in Sojo the last September 7th Cali Tajadas make for the models and staff workers a delicious Arroz con Pollo that it was empty in a few minutes because it was really good and then they give us a delicious Pan de bono and disappear in one moment too . Very highly recommended. Thank you so much . read more

The food here is amazing. I usually get their breakfast platter with includes rice, beans, plantains, sausage, crispy pork, steak and avocado. The beans are incredibly flavorful and I would eat that with rice on its own. It's a bit pricey but plenty of food and shareable. Their empanadas are also top notch and not the typical empanada crust you would expect. It seems to be from masa and super oily but in a good way. read more

Food: 3.5/5.0 Service: 2.5/5.0 Value: 3.5/5.0 Decor: 2.0/5.0 Overall: 3.0/5.0 Simple little Colombian restaurant. Food was pretty good, just under a 3.5/5.0. Prices are reasonable, and employee(s) is/are friendly. Can be busy-ish around brunch/lunchtime, and there's a steady stream of deliverymen coming and going. Tempted to give this type of spot the 4th star, but just can't get there. Might go back though. read more

Just picked up order. No more the. 10 people at a time. As usual it's clean and they are friendly. We come from Manhattan to get dinner here. We ordered the Bandeja picadura, my buñelos and corn fritters stuffed with cheese.My goodness with the Bandeja 3 to 4 can enjoy. read more

I really enjoy the food here, Manuela and the other two girls are nice friendly, always polite and helpful this is one of the reasons I keep coming back. read more

Ordered from Seamless, which said they were open; on the website; oh an hour 20 later I called Seamless they said this place hasn't been open all day. Could be Seamless' fault, yes - I will have to try them again. read more

Solid Colombian food with generous portions. Bistec a Caballo is delicious and enough for 2 people. Tasty empanadas as well.

The food in this place is delicious. Also they open at 6 a.m. not p.m. highly recommend the arroz con pollo. Regular salad was quite good also. I ordered empanadas last time and unfortunately they forgot to put them in my take out bag. Not a big deal, I am back and am excited that I will get to try them this time. The staff is very pleasant and I may have mentioned the food. Small place but there are a few tables and I would recommend trying the place. read more

Great authentic Colombian treats! Best pandebonos and pan de queso!! Great friendly service.

The chicken empanadas & the pan de Bono are the best ! The service was really good too.

Overpriced, food was missing from order, sodas were room temperature, they charge an outrageous 15% service fee on deliveries (I tipped the guy very well too, not knowing about the service fee) Woman who answered the phone was not helpful. Food was salty and nothing special. Avoid getting ripped off. Go somewhere else. read more

Great food right around the corner (from me). A bonus, I get to practice my Spanish whenever I order and subsequently pick up my food. Cinco estrellas read more

Great and friendly place to eat food is fresh nice environment place is clean easy access

The best pan de bono ever, very addicting! If you're looking for smack down portions but don't want to wrestle with your wallet, come here and get the typical bandeja paisa. Rice, beans, avocado, chicharron (fried pork belly), longaniza (sausage), steak, and an arepa. read more

Doesn't accept the restaurant.com coupons they advertise. Paella was way too salty and didn't have any saffron in it. The guy working the register didn't speak English very well but was very nice and used his iPhone app to articulate some of the Spanish words I didn't understand. read more

Good empanadas, good bandeja paisa. The only this is that the place is really small, and you have to go outside in the parking garage to use the bathroom, kind of gross but the point is their food is good and they are very nice and attentive. read more

Great little place for breakest lunch and dinner..very friendly staff and really really great food...

Solid Colombian food! Friendly, quick service. Small place but I always enjoy my meals. Great soup lunch specials.

I do not recommend this restaurant, my co-workers and I ordered the 1/4 Pollo with white rice and beans. We could not eat the chicken...chicken was not fresh, it tasted like it was few days old. They also do not disclose that %15 gratuity for delivery is added into the bill. Complete turn-off. read more

Surprised there aren't more reviews here! I guess cuz this place is a hole in the wall next to the KeyFood parking lot, but the food here is ama-azing, portions are generous and prices are decent. I've only ordered once from them so far but it'll definitely be in my regular rotation. read more

I had ordered from here a couple of montha ago and it was fair and I was really in the mood for colombian so I gave it another tried but Previous reviews were right, non seasoned steak, dry empanadas, 4 small burnt hot dogs with the rest of sorry french fries for my kid. And 15% more expensive than the menu prices and a delivery charge. Way over priced and not even close to worth it in good Colombian food. Good luck if you order because it's a gamble ! read more

This place charges 15% gratuity when delivering food. They do not disclose this information. I normally give a good tip for delivery so this is not an issue about tip. it is wrong to charge a mandatory tip without informing the customer. This is first time I was ever charged a gratuity fee for a delivery. Also the menus prices need to be updated. They prices are not accurate. I did like the food but I don't like dishonest business practices. read more

I would not suggest coming to this restaurant. I have eaten a lot of columbian food in my life, since my boyfriend grew up in Cali, Colombia. This food although not the worse was definitely far form the best. Some of the food was burnt and not really edible or definitely different from the traditional version. Although the beans I did really enjoy. The inside has a few tables and has terrible ambiance. We decided to eat their and they brought the food to the table, but it was not like a normal restaurant where you get water and they check on you. To get the check we had to wait about 35 minutes even though we were the only people there. The ladies were in the back and never came out to the front. After waiting forever to get the check, the worst part is that the prices on the menu and board are NOT what they charge you. I split a meal with a friend and got another small dish and the bill was over 40 dollars. NOT WORTH IT. The prices they charged were definitely higher then we saw on the menu. On top of all of that they charged a 15% tip automatically. I did not see that comming and this was more like a fast food restaurant then a sit down place. Plus the service was terrible sitting and waiting forever just for a check with no water or service. There are so many other amazing latin restaurants in sunset park. You will be disappointed after coming to this place. Save your money and time. read more
