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

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.

This is such a hidden GEM whole in the wall! The best part is that this place is authentic…read moreColombian food. My friends always rave about it here and I'm so happy I discovered it. I don't speak much Spanish so used to get intimidated going into order but the food is just so good, it was worth every trip. Great news is that they just got an online ordering platform! You can order right online for pick up and bypass the long line out the door. The place is always busy but worth the wait, I would definitely suggest ordering online if you are in a rush. They don't have much parking but I always somehow find street parking. It's a very casual place with cafeteria style seating. I get the chicken with potato empanadas, beef empanadas, with their homemade hot sauce. They also have a ton of pastries. All homemade DELICIOUS!

My family and I came here on a Wednesday minutes before they closed so I was very appreciative of…read morethe staff allowing us to dine in and being very attentive throughout our time there. 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.

This is the place for Colombian empanadas. We got the beef…read moreand chicken ones and the beef ones were my favorites. Full of meaty fillings and hot and crispy. The chicken ones were just ok The platters were a bit underwhelming Both the carne asada and the churrasco were good but not great...a bit chewy in some areas....definitely there are better platters in Central Falls. Now...their sweet plantains were sweet, delicious and tasty.... A winner. They take credit cards..

I finally stopped in this restaurant after bookmarking this place a few months ago…read more Noticed a lot of the yelpers was comparing this business to the Los Andes restaurant. And few of the reviews even stated that this restaurant was just as good but less expensive. And some reviews indicated it was a hit or miss when dining here. I just have to say that yes it's cheaper and no it should not be compared Los Andes. They may both be of a Peruvian cuisine but that's where the similarities ends. The product you get here is ok and cheaper and that's ok if you're not too worried about the quality and the taste, atmosphere or the service. This is a small dated restaurant that offers no atmosphere what so ever. Definitely not a clean restaurant by any means. Table surface was tacky and looks like the floor was not swept. I see scraps and debris under the table. So this was the the order Stuffed avocado app ( wasn't available) 1/2 rotisserie chicken ($9.50 good not dried out, but it's rotisserie chicken) Picante de marisco ( $13.99 seafood in a spicy salsa, Missing the octopus, came w/ 1 clam 2 mussel 3 shrimp,and small pieces of calamari It was bland and definitely not a hint of heat in this "spicy salsa" Arroz con marisco ( $13.99 seafood rice, Missing the octopus, came w/ 1 clam 2 mussel 3 shrimp,and small pieces of calamari This dish was also lacking in flavor So the octopus was the reason we ordered the seafood dishes and was omitted from the dishes. And the 1 clam and 2 mussels was the consolation I assume.

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.

I have been to Ceviche by Divibi before and have enjoyed it. I have sat both inside and outside and…read moreI will admit I enjoy the outside experience much more. The views alone are beautiful right near point street. They do have heaters outside if it gets chilly. The drinks were good. I especially liked the coconut mojito. The appetizers were delicious. I did like my meal I had the quinoa bowl with salmon but I belt the lime or lemon they used over powered the bowl. I would next time ask for it in the side. I was with 3 other coworkers and we all did enjoy our time. Our waitress Sabrina was sweet, friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes. I would say dress casual. They have street parking which can be a little tricky depending on the time. We had no issues parking in a Friday @5:30pm. Just a side note if you want to walk off your meal I would suggest walking down to the pedestrian bridge it has beautiful views especially in the evening. You might get lucky and catch some entertainment
