The store front

I was very impressed to see a place for Colombian food while visiting Toronto for Caribana. We ordered beef arepa, chicken empanada, and beef patacon. I gotta give props for serving these items to an audience that probably has never seen an arepa or a patacon before. But then again,Torontonians are a group of sophisticated foodies. I did ask for aguapanela to which Cookie promptly showed me the sign, only available certain months. Opps. Our order came out quickly and this is when I have to say, I was not as impressed with the food itself. It was not bad, but it was not what I was accustomed to eating or cooking in Colombia. C'est la vie! I came, I ate, and I left.

Any cookie monster will love Cookie Martinez! The Super Mega Vegan Cookie ($2.50) consists of Flaxseeds, Organic Flour, Organic Oats, Mango, Ginger, Coconut, Natural Whole Almonds, Organic Goji Berries and 65% Chocolate from Chocosol! Nom nom nom! Happy belly food is a perfect way to start your morning! Can't wait till they start selling ice cream sandwiches towards the end of April!

I love this little corner mini restaurant. Natalia makes delicious arepas and desserts (cookies with ice cream). There is also a while variety of Columbian drinks on sale as well as coffee. The coconut ice cream with chocolate cookies (these cookies have so many cool ingredients!!!) Is absolute amazing dessert and the trip to this place is absolutely required when you crave for something delicious!

Patacones with that special homemade sauce

This place is a regular go to for myself and my friends. It has opened up our eyes to a world of Colombian eats outside of empanadas. Everything we have had has not disappointed. Cookie, the owner, is also sociable, caring, and so funny! Her sauce is to die for especially with her fresh made arepas (if you're not sure, do add queso to your order!) with the cold setting in, the hot sugar cane is a very comforting and soothing finish. The best is to check on Facebook to see if there are any changes to her hours as she also caters.

Cookies!

The food and desserts are delicious. The chef is funny and informative of the food. The price is right for the quality and quantity. Support a local entrepreneur. I'm not in the area often but when I am I always pop by for a visit and food.

Incredibly delicious food, authentically Colombian, big portions, and amazing value for money. The…read moreseafood dishes are filled with various different kinds of high-quality seafood to the brim (more protein than rice). All the staff are so friendly - from the waitstaff to the chefs / owners and kitchen staff, everyone in the restaurant seems to exhibit the Latin American hospitality and friendliness. The place feels homey, cozy, and festive with the music in the background (from the TV screen on the wall), and big photos depicting different places in Colombia along the wall. Ambience is very laid-back and casual, with amazing food that tastes homemade and authentic. It took a while for the food to cook and come out (about 40 minutes) - mostly because of the Cazuela de Mariscos (seafood soup) that took the longest to cook. It was also during a very busy time on a weekend. They seemed to have a constant flow of incoming catering and take-out orders (a good sign), and the restaurant itself was packed. All / most mains come with coconut rice, salad, and tostones (fried plantains). As for drinks, you can order freshly squeezed juices in either water or milk. We ordered the fresh strawberry & blackberry juice in water, as the one in milk would make it more like a smoothie. Each juice order comes in a jug (whether it be a small or large jug). This came as a surprise to us - really good value for such a large volume of juice ($6 for a whole "small" jug that turned out to be quite big, enough to refill each glass a few times for 2 people). The juice itself tasted fresh, natural, and refreshing. Dishes that we tried: 1) Filete de Tilapia con Camarones (grilled tilapia fish fillet & shrimps with coconut rice, plantain, and salad) - Big pieces of fish and lots of small shrimps, in a very delectable sauce. 2) Arroz Marinero (seafood rice with plantain & salad) - Loved this dish. The rice was a bit soupy which I liked. It was a bit like a soupy paella (including the rice) - very delicious and packed with various kinds of seafood. 3) Cazuela de Mariscos (seafood soup with coconut rice, plantain, and salad) - Very creamy soup, like a chowder. I'm not a big fan of chowders / cream-based soups in general, but others liked it and said this was good. 4) SIDE: Ensalada (House Salad) 5) Arepa de Chocolo con Queso (sweet corn dough with cheese) All of the main dishes were EXCELLENT - loved the mixed seafood (fish fillet, shrimps, octopus, squid, etc.). There was so much seafood in every dish. In most places, you get more carbs / rice compared to the protein. Here, it was the opposite. The coconut rice was a bit dry but it's decent - good to soak up the sauces of the main dishes. The salad is just shredded cabbage and carrot with big sliced tomato. I was a big fan of the salad dressing (some creamy mayo-like dressing), but luckily the dressing was only at the top of the salad (the bottom part of the salad remained fresh and crunchy, which I liked). We ordered the Arepa de Chocolo con Queso for to go. It was different than the Venezuelan arepa that I'm used to. The Colombian arepa seemed to be sweeter and more buttery. It probably would've been better if it was eaten right after it was freshly made, and while it was still warm. There was a lot of cheese in the arepa, giving it a nice salty and savoury contrast to the sweet corn dough. After you're done the meal, you go up to the counter to pay (instead of having the bill brought to your table). Great food overall - I would not hesitate to come back.

They get 2.5 stars…read more Bandeja paisa: steak was decent, crackling was so-so (pretty crispy but not that moist or flavourful). Sausage tasted decent but slightly dry. Egg was a bit overdone & arepa was decent though somewhat crispy  Beans were decent. Plantain was so-so (not crispy or sweet). Pork tenderloin was pretty tasty but tough & dry especially for a tenderloin. Rice was decent, with a slight flavour, but a bit mushy. Plantain was crispy. The restaurant interior was decorated quite nicely but was very warm (in summer) & service was disorganised & some servers didn't speak English well so communication was sometimes difficult. I asked if the pork tenderloin had a sauce; they said no but it came with a tomato & peppers sauce. They also billed me wrongly.

The Noms: Colombian Special Salchipapa $25.50…read more Cubano Smoked Brisket Sanguich $20.50 It's a tiny shop but just know they aren't serving tiny portions! The food we got was enough to feed us both - twice! And we're talking full to the brim. It is on the pricier side, but they are far from stingy with their portions. It was our first time so we asked the staff what he recommended and homie came through! The Colombian Salchipapa is basically a fully loaded Cuban fries supreme on steroids. There was plantain, pulled pork, cilantro lime chicken, chorizo, cheese, and corn, all topped with hickory sticks. All of that paired with their house-made tartar sauce was heavenly with the best flavors and textures. The Cubano Smoked Brisket Sanguich was also incredible. There's smoked brisket, roasted mojo pork, swiss cheese, pickles, and fried onions, all stuffed in Cuban bread. The brisket and pork were super tender and juicy too. It was such a satisfying chew that we literally ate in silence while nodding in approval the whole time, lol. Hot tip: we had leftover tartar sauce from the salchipapa, so we poured it on our sanguich and it made it even better! Definitely worth getting it on the side if you're getting the sanguich alone.

The best Cuban sandwiches in the city!! You get your moneys worth here! The sandwiches are huge and…read morethey're full of flavour. I've been here twice now and will be continue to come back!
