All the food is amazing there. My favorite are the empanadas. great customer service read more

I've always driven past this little shop, but I finally took the time to stop by the other day. I visited around 1 PM, and despite it being midday, there were still plenty of sweets and empanadas to choose from. The pricing was great, and I decided to try a variety of empanadas. I ordered two Empanadas Bogotanas (filled with ground beef, rice, chicken, and egg), two Empanadas de Lechona (pork), and two Empanadas Colombianas (beef and potato). I might have mixed up the last two, but based on my memory, that's what I tried. My favorite was definitely the empanadas with beef and potato--they were perfectly crispy, well-seasoned, and fresh! I'll definitely be coming back regularly. read more

I love empanadas. Therefore I love this place. I've had these several times. I'm horrible about what some of the names of the empanadas but so good. And no pics. This had to be the worse review I've done ever. My apologies to Colombian Empanadas - I will come back and do a proper review. read more

The empanadas are delicious! The service was nice. Overall nice place to get a quick bite.

Great service and so many delicious options to choose from. There's a lot of Colombian restaurants/bakeries in Katy and this is my favorite one. Unlike other places, there's more than 2 diff types of empanadas which I appreciate. Today, I got a hot chocolate con queso and I loved it!! read more

I absolutely love this place, do you want to try Colombian baked goodies? You need to come to this place. They have the most authentic Colombian bakery.

Don't forget the.Ahí for them. Absolutely yummy! read more

Muy mal lugar. la comida es vieja. El pan es duro. Nada recomendable. Existen lugares en Houston mucho mejores. Inclusive cerca de ahi.

Amazing food! Friendly atmosphere. Wonderful service. Truly authentic breakfast empanadas. Spanish speaking woman behind the counter was very patient with me as I don't speak Spanish. But we still laughed and joked. Highly recommend. read more

empanadas are off the chain, i always make sure to stop by and grab the potato and beef before work. and the espresso will give you a nice kick in the ass too. love this spot read more

Saw this place as we were dropping some donations off at Goodwill and decided to stop by. The menu posted inside is very out of date so a lot of the items weren't available anymore. There are a few empanada options which were not clearly explained to us so we only ended up trying the Colombian empanadas. They were tasty but lacking meat. I also picked up quite a few pastries that missed the mark compared to what I'm used to back in Jersey. read more

There are no words to describe how good all the food this business has to offer. The empanadas are AMAZING!!! Enough said. You'll never get an empanada from anywhere else. read more

The food was good and flavorful, service is great! What I really like is that they have so many different options and variety of pastries, sweet bread and empanadas too. I had the coffee with milk and it was strong and delicious. The only reason I gave 4 stars because there was no empanada with ground beef Other than that everything was perfect and the ambiance is really nice read more

Wow very tasty - all kinds of flavor - served hot and very inexpensive! Get the green sauce for sure - not too spicy just perfect! I will come back again! read more

Way better than expected! Delicious empanadas and great pricing. Definitely recommend and authentic.

Genuine homemade style empanadas. No gimmicks, no fusion, just the real deal. If you're used to the usual "stuff shoved into a generic empanada shell" then you might be disappointed, but if your ready to go deeper then check this place out. The more breakfast focused styles are at the far end of the counter. read more

This is my go to place for empanadas. They are all very flavorful and they have a wide variety. The service is friendly too

We did an order of 84 empanadas from this location an they were delicious! Order was ready when I arrived at the scheduled time for pick up price was very reasonable. We will def be back! read more

Colombian Empanadas - So good! Good size! - Colombian Near Me - Katy, Texas

Yuca Empandas are delicious! The owner advised it is under new management and she made me a cup of coffee that honestly is better than Starbucks down the street. read more

One star for food and 1 for customer service. Food is unimpressive compared to nearby Colombian restaurants such as Made in Medellin, Mi Pueblito, and The Colombian House. Customer service is almost non existent if not downright rude. I see no need to subject myself to an uncomfortable experience when there are competitive alternatives close-by. I have given this establishment 3 opportunities to treat me politely, and I was disappointed each time. I am glad to have found better options. read more

Best place to get a bite to eat food is delicious and prices are good I highly recommend this place.

Visited this location a few times and their cups of coffee and chocolate are great. Regarding their empanadas though a bit pricey, their "carne con pasas" is my favorite. Aside from their empanadas, they also offer other Colombian favorites such as la "Bandeja Paisa". Seating space is somewhat limited though we didn't encounter any problems during our visit. Nevertheless, I could see this becoming an issue on busier times throughout the week. So why the 2 stars you might ask? Well I think that a kind and friendly customer interaction is key to the success of any business. Unfortunately the lady who attended us lacked that important quality in my opinion. Cons aside, Colombian Empandas is worth a visit for the occasional cravings every now and then. read more

Colombian Empanadas - You should definitely try their Empanadas de "Carne con Pasas" and hot chocolate. - Colombian Near Me - Katy, Texas

Love this little eatery! I goes to this place every time I am in Katy. Love their Picada and empanadas. Always good and great price. The lady in front is always cheerful and gets exactly what I want! Also loves their sweet section. I could only finish half the portion and always have half to go. Very generous portion for a great price. Highly recommended! read more

Happy to leave good review for the beef empanadas because that's all I usually get when I stop by and I'm never disappointed. l have not tried the pastries or anything else on the menu. Been coming here for about 3 years. read more

Colombian Empanadas - Consistent with freshness and flavor. - Colombian Near Me - Katy, Texas

My guess is that you have to go during the "fresh bake" hours when the empanadas are piping hot. I dropped in around 5pm, and they were pretty stale. My arepa was pretty good, but still not amazing. The service is good. They accept credit cards. And they have other menu items like dinner entrees, baked sweets, and Colombian bevs. read more

I'm sad. I don't come out to the suburbs too often and when I do I want to try something exciting and delicious! I pulled up my trusty yelp app and saw a place within .1 miles of my location that had a 4 star average! And even a 5 star from an elite yelper! I was sold. When I finally sat down and got a chance to read over the reviews, I realized they were very vague and generalized reviews with no real direction besides, really good empanadas, but not which ones? I figured I'd get a sampling of a few. I got the beef, chicken, and a pork one. The shells were all different for each of the different types. This was odd for me.. Than again my only experience with empanadas was Marin's and I want to say those are very Americanized? But I do enjoy those. I feel like coming here in the evening for dinner was a bad choice. They might have great empanadas for lunch because they are fresh, but for dinner you're stuck with what's left over. Meaning they have been under heat lamps or in the display case all day. The shells were all stale. I do enjoy how Marin makes them fresh for you. I'm giving them 2 because I give them the benefit of the doubt that I came at the wrong time. But my personal experience was barely worth 1 star. read more

The only reason I found this place is because of Yelp! I have been in Katy for 8 years and never discovered this little gem. Being a native from Southern Ca I am use to lots of different types of foods which Katy severely lacks! This place looks like a small donut shop and is about the size of one too. But once you step through the front door you almost forget you are still in America! The workers there mainly speak Spanish, which I thought was cool since after all, these are Columbian Empanadas! I'm sure they could understand me but found my self reaching way back to my high school Spanish class to improve communications. There was a little TV mounted on the was behind the counter playing World Cup soccer. I wish I had time to stay and eat there so I could feel as if I were in South America, but I had to quickly return home to feed the kids! I ordered 3 different types of empanadas that I photographed. 1. Columbian Empanada that was meat and potato. Only $1 each and was deciduous. Crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. 2. Chicken Empanada with a pastry exterior. This was the most expensive at around $1.75 each. This was my least favorite since it only had shredded chicken inside and not much else but at almost twice the cost of the meat and potato I preferred the other for both flavor and price. 3. I will just call this Empanada #3 since I don't recall the name and not sure of the exact ingredients. I believe it also had meat, potato and rice but either way it was wonderful! I think it was only $1-$1.25 each and again, a bargain these days! I think this was the most flavorful out of all 3 and recommend too! 4. Pan con queso (bread with cheese)- at only $1 each I had to try something else. It was okay and was a large portion for only a buck. If I only had $5 for breakfast and wanted to get full, I would order this with an Empanada and coffee. They had so many interesting other items behind the display case, it was like a donut shop but with many more interesting items! If you are sick of the same old food places in Katy and have an adventurous pallet like me, then this place is worth a try! With so many items under a buck you have nothing to lose so give it a try! I hope we get more small mom and pop places like this around Katy that serve something different and good. I will be back to try more!!! read more

We were driving around one morning and found this little bakery called Colombian Empanadas. My husband is Colombian, and we're taking a trip to Colombia next year. In efforts to get to know his culture, and experience some new foods, we stopped in to try some of their breads, pastries and empanadas. My husband's parents will bring back breads for me to try when they visit Colombia, so I was excited to try freshly baked bread. I was a little intimidated when I walked in, but as we looked over their selection and talked to the woman who worked there, we were instantly made to feel at home. The service was great, and the food was really good. Some of my favorite items that I've tried so far were the pandebono, buñuelos, and their beef empanadas w/ lime.This place is a little hidden treasure in Katy, and we'll definitely be back for more. read more

Thee BEST value and time saving dinner or lunch option. I stopped by to check out the Empanadas and left with over 4 boxes of various kinds. They range from $1.25 - $2.00 each and are that size of a fist. Ask for them to make it fresh so you can take it home. Oh and the desserts are so pretty, and different and so inexpensive I that you don't feel bad taking home a box for the office/your desk. Update- still a very good value but closes earlier than advertised. Sad, I really wanted another beef and potato to go... read more

Just want to say that service is much better when the owner is not the there. 3 stars just because their "buñuelos" (chesee balls) are so bad, no flavor at all, poor quality. Their Lechona empanadas are getting bad again, it happened like 6 months before, they fixed them and then bad again. I hope this comment help them to improve their food and keep up in service. Please avoid to sell OLD bakery, your bakery is good only when is fresh, do not fool your customers with taking home old bakery products. read more

Very humble people! Every time I visit there feel like eat more!! I highly recommend this is the best place to eat Impanada/arepas . I wish Yelp have more ******************* to give them. The owner Miss Maria and Son are very kind and friendly. Maria just lost her husband but still try to keep smiling for her customer. It tells lot about her kindness. read more

Woke up looking for a empanadas for breakfast. This place did not disappoint. Found this gem tucked in the corner of the parking lot. Authentic fresh delicious empanadas with friendly customer service. Now that I got one of everything I will be back with favorites ready to select! Highly recommend! read more

One of the rudest workers and owner at this place. The lady who works there in the mornings was absolutely the most unhappy and unfriendly person you'll ever encountered. Don't bother asking for the manager/owner because he is the same way! There is no way I will spend another dime in here after being treated so badly. Is asking two separate bags for 15 empanadas too much to asked? If there's an option for zero stars, this place is it! read more

I used to come here years ago for buñuelos and empanadas. Food was good and service was nice back then. I went this morning and will never return not only is the food dry now but the new girl there and the owner offered terrible service. No greeting and no smile unless they know u. I also realized that they charged me up front while everyone else in the place paid after they ate. When I ordered my food she immediately began to grab bags to pack. I told her "its to stay" and she turn around w a disgusted look in her eyes and said "you're staying?". I know im not a regular here anymore but i can tell the others who were sitting were. They were smiling and joking with them from the counter but not a greeting or any attention towards us. When everyone would leave they offered a warm "thank you, goodbye" to each customer. When we left they didn't say anything. I am Colombian as well so im very surprised we were treated this way. F@$! This place i wont come back, and I recommend u never visit them. read more

I would do no stars. Just bought some bread and a buñuelo at 0830am. The bread was burnt, hard and tasted old. The buñuelo was burnt. The service was rude. After getting off shift working 36 hours, I wanted some bread. Even after warming it up for a few seconds they both were still hard. Ever since The owner changed, The quality of their products have gone down over the years. I'm surprised it's still even open. read more

Colombian Empanadas - Colombian Near Me - Katy, Texas

Unfortunately this is the worse Colombian spot in Houston. Pastries are almost always stale. The pan de Bono's are super dry and not cheesy at all. Do not get the Cheese arepa. They will give you a dry thick arepa with a little bit of cheese inside. It's actually pretty embarrassing to even call this place Colombian. The customer service is bad. Especially if you get the male, he hasn't learned how to smile or be nice(he's part owner too). Please if you want to try out Colombian food Do Not come to this place. It is no where near an actual representation of how good our food is. If you're Colombian well then you really have no reason to be coming or you'll be super disappointed like the rest. If you want a real Colombian bakery go to Risaraldas bakery on highway 6 read more

First time experience! Love it and will definitely come back! The empanadas are Great! Get the Colombian ones! The salsa is real good! Make sure also to grab a hot chocolate, as a Colombian I think this place exceeds expectations, it's a little hidden, but I think everyone should know about it! Prices are excellent! read more

I am from Colombia so I have a feeling if the food will be good or not and I have to admit thatI enjoy their selection! The flavors are awesome and they even have caldo de costilla just like how my mom makes it. I would recommend their Brazo de reina and empanadas. I once left my passport and purse here for 3 days and they even returned it. Very honest people. read more

I like this place, it's a nice little hope in the wall. Great coffee, cookies, and of course Empanadas.
