Very casual place that's cash only. The beef empanadas are amazing! And cheap. I felt like I was back in Colombia.

Empanada and chicken

I was in town visiting family and randomly ran into this place. It is small but the food was top! I love how they have an outside sitting area as well. I ordered their empanadas and grilled chicken and I was amazed. They even brought the food outside for us which was sweet and kind considering the atmosphere. I highly recommend this place. I shared an empanada and I was low-key upset about it lol

My coworker brings us in a bunch of food from this establishment. The food is to die for. The prices are reasonable.

The food is so fresh and tasty. Staff is friendly and attentive. The place is "cash-only," so plan accordingly.

Loved the food and the quality of people. I will definitely go there again and again. I am Colombian, and I felt like home!

Chicharron was great. - Arepa: looks like a tortilla, so not the typical thick arepas I'm used to. So felt like I paid $8 just for a tortilla and small block of cheese - Tostones con guacamole: I prefer my tostones to be crispier, but they had great taste. - Cazuela de Mariscos: Great flavor. I put it on top of rice and enjoyed it with the other food, otherwise too heavy/dense on it's own. I didn't enjoy the mussels (I love mussels). They were too gritty.

We tried a little of everything on the menu . The smoothies our a must . Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The service was kind. Overall warm and welcoming. (For a moment I could feel myself eating at my aunts house in Colombia , it was that warm and welcoming of an environment ). The name of the restaurant " Con Sabor a Colombia " is the most favorable name for this establishment. Which translates to ; Food with flavor of Colombia. Parking is difficult but manageable. The prices are a bargain for the quality, portion size , experience and freshness.

After the epic failure of a meal earlier in the day, I had to find something to remedy the taste…read morebuds. As I began to drive back towards Boston, I searched for possible options along the way that were recommended restaurant stops for their food quality. This Colombian restaurant popped up on the list and immediately beckoned a slight detour to visit. As New England states are so tiny compared to the West Coast, it wasn't long before I exited the freeway and parked along the street outside Panela. While the restaurant had a large space (noticed later there was a dance floor) and an almost equally large bar area, there were only a couple patrons that day - nursing their beers and quietly chatting. Service was fast and prompt and menus were on the table before I even sat down. Water showed up shortly before I was given a little more time to peruse the menu. It was an interesting menu and well thought out. I had no idea what to order so I just followed my gut on what I felt like gorging on (and was glad I did). I won't go much into dissecting each dish. But I can tell you that the flavors were balanced and pleasant. Each bite beckoned more until the plate was empty. I couldn't stop myself. I had to keep going on everything disappeared from the table. It's one of those times that you're not claiming a dish to be perfect in whatever culinary pedigree BUT that it's so balanced in flavor that your palate is tickled in all forms. It was a tongue-gasmic moment and immediately remedied the most boring meal on earth that I just had earlier today. PS. Researched the background of the restaurant later on. Now everything makes sense. I applaud your need to create and represent. Cheers.

This was the last place I remember enjoying a meal so much that I wish I could go back again and…read moreagain. It was back in 2022 and the last time my sister brother and I were together to enjoy a meal out with our mother as a family. I am craving those Nachos and the carefully prepared fish with Julian vegetables and the amazing sweet and sour lemony sauce.

A Colombian breakfast felt like it would fit the bill. I showed up at 615am to find the doors still locked & nobody there. According to the store sign & Yelp, its supposed to open at 6am. I saw another place next door. La Abundancia. Yelped it, saw it was also Colombian. And open. It's a very small and unassuming spot. Nothing fancy about it. A handful of tables. There was a Spanish radio station playing. Lady at front said hello & handed me a menu. I did notice. Aside from one guy coming in for a coffee to go, I was the only customer there. Maybe Sunday early mornings are typically slow? I'm not sure. I chose the Calentado. Steak, egg, rice & beans. She asked if I wanted tomato & onions in the eggs. And corn arepa with cheese on side. I said yes to both. Added some hot sauce & it hit the spot. Next time, I would like to try some of that wonderful pork with the chicharrones attached to it. I was sad they did not have any guava pastries, roscones. Would have loved to take some to go. Still, I'm very satisfied to have found this place to dine.

Absolutely delicious! Everything my family of 7 ordered was amazing. Staff was friendly and…read moreaccommodating, felt like I was eating at my grandmothers house! Highly recommend! Will be frequenting this place often!
