Cute little coffee shop serving up delicious Colombian drinks and treats. I ordered a Pastel de…read moreGuava and a hot latte with cinnamon powder. The latte was a perfect blend of coffee and frothy milk, sprinkled with cinnamon powder. The pastel de guava paired well with my latte. The bread was warm and soft, and the center was filled with the slightly sweet guava. I stopped in for an afternoon coffee. With it being my first time in, I walked in about 10 minutes to close. I try not to do drop in so close to closing time so I asked if it was okay that I order. The staff were welcoming and friendly and I didn't feel rushed at all. The cafe has a nice selection of pasteles & breads, offering both savory and sweet options. It's a small cafe but a very cozy place to enjoy a coffee and a snack. With so many different choices, I cannot wait to go back.

Very solid Colombian Cafe. Not a lot of places you can find guanabana juice (my favorite), and…read moreseveral other juices that you could find at any restaurant in Colombia but are hard to find here. I think it's actually the only place in Denver with Huevos Pericos! It's a cute little storefont, and the employees are very nice. There's also naturally a lot of gluten free options because Colombian menus aren't as gluten heavy. (I'm not sure that it would be free of cross contaminates though).

Wowww! They seated us in the back of the room to the right and it was so cute! Service was great…read more We got the sancocho, pabellon, and patacones. It was a little bit of everything and I was in heaven! I'm a soup girl and had previously had home made sancocho and loved it. I was really excited to see this on the menu, especially for a cold night! The patacones were delicious as well, especially with the chicharron. Would definitely come back again! I would love to try one of their platters.

My friend was in town with his father for some difficult medical tests at National Jewish. The…read morestress of the tests and the concerns over memory problems had understandably been making his dad anxious. So, we decided to take him for a relaxing evening for some "home cooking;" his dad is from Colombia. I'd driven by this place for years, always thought it was cute, but never had been in to try it out. Well, the inside is even cuter than the curbside! We were quickly greeted and shown to a table. It was around 8 on a Friday night. The service was just what my friend's dad needed, joking around in Spanish and answering random questions that an older person might have when seeing food they grew up with and hadn't seen in a while... and, then, the food. I'm not familiar with Colombian cuisine, so I wanted to try something traditional. The presentation was sizable and I really like color on a plate. Then, it was flavorful and filling?! YUM. We walked out of the experience laughing and purely delighted at having had a great night in sharing a unique experience. Strongly suggest folks swinging through, when you're in the neighborhood... or, give yourself a special occasion and make a trip!

If you notice in the picture it's a little bit of everything. The patacones ( fried plantain) O M G , so good We also got empanadas and they didn't fail. I love coming here because it is like stepping into Colombia !! The waitresses are soooo sweet and nice Ok this night they had a live singer so the music was poppin'... And the crowd was great .

I've been going to Maria Empanada at least 5 years now. I never realized that there were 4 other…read moreones, and they're all 4+ Stars. The Empanadas are excellent, and the staff can tell them apart by the script on them. I have no idea what it could be... They usually do 2 Empanadas that are new and about a dozen others. Last time it was a Sweet BBQ Beef & an Italiano. This time it's an excellent Miso Steak & a Corn & Mexican Cheese one. Every Empanadas I've had from there for 5 years, has been just like the ones before. So you'll never have to worry about consistency. And since I saw that there's 5 total & they all have excellent reviews, proves my point even better. The ambience is really homie for an empanada place. They have a big espresso machine, outdoor seating and indoor seating. Inside is maybe 3 separate rooms with a TV viewable from every room!

Came here for some drinks before dinner and had a great experience. We sat at the bar and were…read moreimmediately greeted by the bartender. It was happy hour so we lucked out, and they also had a holiday cocktail menu. For drinks we had the pisco sour and the frozen margarita mix as well as the grinch hot chocolate and the champagne with mezcal. Everything was delicious; however, I didn't realize the champagne and mezcal would be a glass of champagne plus a shot of mezcal on the side. Other than that the place was a hit. We also ordered some salchipapas which were a little spicy but super delicious. The happy hour portion was perfect to share with 2 people.

Fried nigiri appetizer was pretty good. It was fried rice on the bottom, and creamy meat on top…read more Bottom didn't have much flavor, so the top carried there. Wagyu tartare was also good, but you need to make sure you're including some bread in every bite, otherwise you'll blow your head with mustard. Horchata was delicious. Food took a while. I know it was dinner rush, but I feel like similar establishments don't take as long.

the location is outside of my typical area, but i was curious to try the empanadas…read more the restaurant was clean and quiet, there is plenty of seating and ample parking. the empanadas - i had one each of the chicken and beef. they were finger-burning hot, even after 15 minutes of letting them sit to cool, but i was so excited to try them, so i had to dig in regardless of the burn they were pretty greasy & small. the beef was really good. the chicken was stuffed with a tiny trace of chicken and i dunno what else, maybe masa, but they are definitely mostly filled with the other ingredient and way too little chicken, so it was hard to judge the taste and texture of the chicken. the corn "shell" was nothing to write home about. so-so. it was reasonably priced, but the portions were teeny. the salsa provided was a cucumber-ish relish or similar, refreshing and not spicy at all. it was just ok, or may be a better accompaniment with a different dish. i may go again, to try a few of their dishes & if we go back, i will certainly update my review

We ordered a chicken sancocho and a seafood casserole; we were served shoe leather and cheap Walmart seafood with three pieces of imitation crab meat. $65 thrown in the trash.

The ambience is strictly plain, but the outdoor tables with umbrellas would be great on a nice warm day. I'll be back!

We came here on a Tuesday evening around 6 PM and was immediately seated in the dining room. This place is so cute and lively. Our waiter was friendly and helpful with providing recommendations. We decided to do family style and ordered the following: -Empanada - Shredded Beef (Ropa Vieja) -Croquetas de jamon -Side of plantains -Lechon asado Everything was delicious. My favorite was probably the empanada. The crust was perfectly baked and the filling was flavorful and moist. The lechon asado was a second favorite. I will definitely be back to try t heir other items. Next time, I'll probably check out their desserts too. Overall, it was a great experience and Cuba Cuba!

Be aware that their Uber Eats system may not work. We placed 2 orders and they were never prepared…read more Either the system didn't work or they never checked it. After I arrived to pick them up 40 mins after placing them, they couldn't find them but coincidentally the orders "just popped up on their system" after they looked for them. They asked me to wait since they needed to start cooking them! No apologies, didn't offer to make it better, not even offered to take a sit or a glass of water, nothing. They must've thought I was an Uber driver, well I was the PATRON. They need to train their hostess on better etiquette and not to make assumptions. Even if I was a delivery driver, I deserved to be treated better. Complete disregard for one's time and utter lack of courtesy. Thank you but no thank you, I'm not going to wait 1 hr and a half to pick up an order. After being 30 mins on the chat with Uber Eats, they finally agreed to cancel them penalty free. Complete waste of time and gas.
