The oily empanada
Marilyn C.

Update 7/16/2019: My second time here and am very sad typing this. I used to like this place and I don't know what happened . I went to breakfast today here at 11am , i haven't been in soo long . I asked for a coffee , empanada and hígado . First let's start with the coffee : it's instant coffee and it was awful . There should be a law against restaurant servicing instant coffee . I really didn't see if she boiled the water or Just put it in the microwave . But it was a bad ....beyond bad . Second : Finally the empanada came . When I split in half it literally the oil inside of it exploded . You will picture below and you will see there was a sea of oil inside this empanada. The oil dripped everywhere . I have never seen anything like this at any other place . Third : the liver had potential . The woman who cooked it , can't cook . It was the most horrid breakfast I ever had anywhere . everything took a long time and I was the only one there . The service was subpar ... non existent. When the other girl showed up (she showed up with her son), she was a bit friendlier but she showed up towards the end of my bad experience . I left there with the longest face sad and mad at the same time . To the owner or owners of this restaurant . You should make coffee not instant . A really great cup of coffee it's a great way to start . Second the girl who was there cooking can't cook . She couldn't even get an easy empanada right . Two: the hígado breakfast has potential but it was not good. If you don't cook with peace and joy , your food will show it. I really would hate to see this place go out of business . I probably won't be coming here any time soon . i had the feeling that the lady cooking and serving doesn't care for this place . I hope it changes . If they continue this I don't see them there in five years . There are six great options around for Colombian restaurant near by you got to step up your game . Don't get

Mini Montañero

The food here was absolutely delicious, I had the Camarones de crema and my friend had the Mini Montañero. Our waiter was very nice, professional, attentive (even though it was busy) our order was urgent to him, also he placed our leftovers neatly in the bag for us and to end our visit, he also held the door when we left. The restaurant was immaculate, I will definitely be coming here again!!!

Reverse meat pie empanadas

Ordered meat pie empanadas and they were disgracefully all potato with very.. very little meat their food is cheap and they only think about profit.

Like a piece of Colombian heaven in Rhode Island.... we had the traditional Plato monrañero with passion fruit and berry natural juices! The place decor is very traditional like I was back in Medallo! The staff super friendly and I'm telling u one of the cleanest restaurants I had the pleasure to eat.... plenty of parking and good music! The desserts out of this world! The food was awesome, old fashion flavor that can only be master by someone that was born and raise in Colombia! I will Definitely b back....

Tener en cuenta que te cobran hasta el uso de la tarjeta de crédito y que la propina ya está incluida en la factura. La comida es buena.

Delicious. I had a beef empanada and a chicken empanada. Both were quite tasty, not greasy at all…read moreand were accompanied by an extremely hot salsa which was very good, but very hot. Little goes a very long way. I also tried the chicharrone (which has yelp can't spell for me) and it was very interesting. Good. Very very crunchy- gave nice strong teeth and nice pork flavor. Also not greasy. Also tried the plantain- I am partial to the sweet ones. This was ok I just like 'em sweeter. I look forward to going back. Ladies behind counter were super. Colombian music playing so created atmosphere while we sat and ate. Lovely experience.

Caprichos is a well known restaurant, I say that even though this was my first time going in. I go…read moreby here every morning in my way to work around 7:00 am and it is always packed, today was no exception but knowing I wanted to experience this place for myself I left a bit earlier for work. Parking can be challenging especially seeing this restaurant runs on Lonsdale Ave a busy street in itself. The line was out the door and that's where I stood waiting patiently. The love moves at a decent pace. Here finally my turn and I honestly had no clue what to expect or what they even really sold but I was hoping they had anything that contained ham and cheese and they did, Brad with ham and cheese for $3.50 I was surprised that was all. They do gave finger foods, drinks coffee and fruit drinks, breads, pastries of many sorts. I was tempted to get a pastry but I stayed focused. The bread was actually good and tasted fresh they only concern which was a big one for me was that there was hardly any ham and cheese in it and I mean like barely none. I could have actually went with just bread as that's what I felt I received. Would I return maybe especially if I am in mood for something g sweet as the variety was plenty to choose from. There is a sit down area on both sides of the restaurant with one big screen tv. This place seems more of a grab and go type establishment. They open at 5:00am and close at I believe 9:00 pm

Was excited to know they open early for morning people like me who need their coffee and pastry. Counter help was super nice and took the time to explain, why some things aren't labeled. They had a nice set up for the World Cup with lots where everyone can have a view no matter your seat. It's located near Main Street and is easy to get to from transit. I'm excited to make this place part of my regular routine.

This place is massive, with lots of tables to dine in, and a bakery section. We ordered the following: Mondongo (pequeño), bandeja paisa, lengua sudada, and res apanada. The food came out in about 20 minutes. The serving sizes were a little bigger than normal (I am not complaining), every plate looked delicious, and all the plates were hot and fresh. The mondongo was tasty and had a good amount of tripe and the right thickness of the broth. I chuckled when I saw the side of banana, but honestly, it made for a good desert. The bandeja paisa brings a litte bit of everything and it all was cooked well. The lengua sudada was very tender and flavorful and the yucca was soft, with the sauce it was in giving it a really good flavor. The res apanada was a bit tough and the breading did not stick on too well, but overall the flavor was good and the breading was crispy which I enjoyed. The best part of it all was the prices. It is very affordable and you will leave full.   The bakery is inexpensive and the items I have tried and good. They do have a large parking lot and it's free. While in the area, you could visit the Slater Mill (they have tours you could sign up for) or visit the public library. One thing to note is that the GPS might bring you to their old location a couple blocks up the street, so do a little bit of research for the address beforehand.

We went about 8:00 PM and were instantly seated at an outdoor table of our choice.. The outside view was great and the server sebastian was helpful and very friendly! The prices are $$$ but the food is very good! the staff; very patient and knowledgeable. The manager even came to check up and see how we were feeling about the restaurant. The menu was not very big, but very healthy and tasteful. If you are looking for some peruvian style food/drink with patient and helpful wait staff, then deff try this spot! They specialize in ceviche, poke bowls, pisco and sushi! I give 5 stars for service, cleanliness and taste . Highly recommend the outside dining with the fire pits. I have never tried Peruvian food or pisco alcohol. This was my first time, and I will definitely go back in the future. The food quality was very good and extremely healthy, the drinks are very strong and tasty. To me, this is considered fine dining, so make sure your pockets come prepared, Because once you taste one pisco you're going to want another! Highly recommend if you like a not to busy atmosphere. Check it out!

This venue it's one of my dear choices when it comes to Peruvian food. I totally love this…read morerestaurant. The menu its not to big. They offer pictures of every plate they offer. Which makes the choice of your liking much easier. The menu is a delight for your eyes, every plate it's make with care. Every time I go, it's a new experience. I have never left disappointed. Since you come in the staff is there for you, ready to help you with your choices. It's pricy but worth it. The drinks are de-licious. The times for preparation are quick. You get your meals quickly and hot. Well, if you are looking for a good example of Peruvian food, this is it.
