Made a visit to this new restaurant in Spring Valley, NY called Colombia Tropical. This restaurant…read moreis located where the old El Bandido Mexican restaurant used to be. This restaurant is located on route 59 close to a central area; with its own parking. So if you are a Latin food lover this place could be for you. I went on the weekend, and for a new place there was a lot of people present. I tried the beef empanadas which comes with dipping sauces which bring them to life. I also had a guanabana soursop drink which was nice and cold, if there is an option for more creamy and sweet I would opt for that since it is cold weather. I also had the Salteado mixta with white rice and fried plantain. This dish has beef, shrimp, and chicken and sweet pepper strips. All foods were hot, the Salteado came out on a hot dish which kept the temperature. Overall the place was nice and clean, I sat in at the bar area as seating was easier for one person. I would come back as there are many good options to try. The food was good.

The place is nicely decorated and has a very cool vibe. To start we had the Mini Empanadas and the Guacamole con Chicharron, both were scrumptious and the portions were more than enough for 4 of us to share. My son and I had the Churssasco, which was cooked to perfection and accompanied with Rice and plantains (Platanos Maduros). We also ordered sides of bean and Papas Fritas (which reminded my wife of the fries her grandmother used to make). My wife got the Arepa de Pollo, which was exquisite. My nephew ordered the Arroz con Pollo, which was great and such a large portion. My son and nephew split the flan between them, they are still talking about how delicious it was. The service was just perfect, the staff were attentive and friendly. The owner even came out to introduce himself and check on us. It was such an all around great experience, I can't wait to go back.

But the server was so patient with me and guided me through. I just wanted eggs and potatoes and chorizo. With her help, I didn't get potatoes but I go beans. I didn't know I was getting rice with my breakfast but even that was cooked perfectly and I ate it with my beans. The salsa was so fresh and spicy, took the rest home! The salad was great and the dressing a nice accompany, but I didnt even need it. I was so happy guys. So happy seeing all this food in front of me and having it be sooooo good. I never eat at places like this, as I am from California and I have pretty high expectations. But I'm so glad I saw their reviews and gave it a shot. Happiness. Neighborhood gem! Great Service, Great Coffee, Great Food! Thank you

If you live in the Croton or Ossining area, I highly recommend stopping by for their chicken or beef empanadas. My personal favorite around. Works out to around $2.60 per empanada. Delicious vinegar based hot sauce as well!

Just got in town...wandering around for a lunch spot and saw Columbia House...quickly checked…read more"Yelp" of course...and based on reviews it was a go. Besides almost every table full at 1:15 lunch...including the back room and it is a large restaurant. We were seated without a wait. Took longer to navigate the huge menu. Hubby and I just wanted a light lunch. He ordered the chicken wings and I ordered the "fish" sandwich w/o cheese. Unfortunately, I was served the chicken sandwich not the requested fish sandwich. It still came with avacado, onions, tomato and lettuce. (No cheese as requested). Once I took a bite I realized I had the wrong sandwich. I was disappointed. Waiter apologized and offered to switch it up...I can see he felt bad and we were not quite sure where we both messed up...could have been me? Him? Not a big deal...I just kept it and enjoyed. Chicken was slighty dry (cheese would have fixed the dryness) but seasoned perfectly. It was a large sandwich with two layers of thin grilled chicken. I would split it next time. I like the way it was served...wrapped in a paper. I requested un-seasoned fries and my request was honored. It was all a generous portion. The restaurant is high energy, food around us all looked delicious and fresh, cocktails looked really good...I wanted to taste the cappuccino martini next to us...tempting to order one. Service was timely, friendly and efficient. Noise level a tad high however it was easy enough to carry on a conversation. Overall, I understand the reason this place was so busy...definately a solid fun place...wish it were on my neighborhood as I enjoy exploring different dishes. Thumbs up for sure.

This spot delivered a solid Colombian food experience with a great atmosphere to match…read more We started with the empanadas, which were crispy, golden, and packed with flavorful filling. They definitely shine even more with a little hot sauce on the side. Easy 8/10. The highlight of the meal was the steak tostones. The steak was juicy and tender, the guacamole added a fresh touch, and the tostones were perfectly crispy. My only complaint is that I wish there had been more on the plate because they disappeared fast. 8.5/10. For my entrée, I had the grilled chicken topped with mushroom sauce. It was good and cooked well, but I felt it could have used a little more seasoning and heat to really make it pop. 7.5/10. Beyond the food, the ambiance was fantastic. The restaurant is beautiful, comfortable, and has a welcoming vibe that makes you want to sit back and enjoy your meal. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.
