    I had two hours to kill and randomly stumbled in here right when they opened (they open at 9AM)…read more Serving authentic Colombian comfort food, breakfast, empanadas, and traditional pastries, this casual, cozy, and latino-owned restaurant is a pleasant surprise tucked neatly inside a valley strip mall. But don't let that deter you. Step inside and you'll be greeted with lovely service, good coffee, and Colombian favorites like arepas, buñuelos, empanadas, and Bandeja Paisa. I wasn't very hungry, but after a peek at their fresh baked goods behind the case, I quickly found a seat for myself where I could watch the tennis match on one of many TVs on the wall. Since I'm a sucker for guava, I ordered a bocadillo. It was layered with light cheese and a guava paste that wasn't overly sweet. There was also fresh guava juice and let's not forget the Colombian coffee that had some perk to it. The guava bocadilla had a made-from-scratch flavor, and so did the empanadas de carne. They were delicious and filling. The salsa was more liquid-like, but I couldn't slather enough of it on to my empanada de carne. It was so good, I ordered seconds despite my belly already feeling full. Locals slowly trickled in and before I knew it, the place was full. Every meal that came out - whether it was the banana leaf wrapped tamales that could feed a giant, or the three tier Bandeja Paisa and Montañera platters with arepas on top, each dish looked amazing. So did their lunch menu, which is served weekdays from 11am to 3pm for $14.99 and comes with soup and an entree. There's a quaint gift shop next door where you can buy nicknacks and small Colombian items. As a bookworm and fan of a good story, it was interesting to realize that this quaint little restaurant was named after the fictional town made famous by the Colombian author, Gabriel García Márquez's novel, "One Hundred Years of Solitude". As I sipped on my coffee, I was given time to reflect on my day and enjoyed a sense of solitude at my own table for one.

Our food arrived in a timely manner considering they were pretty full and the time we went. They were pretty busy with many people watching the World Cup games at their restaurant enjoying the ambiance. I ordered a Chicken Arepa (La Rubia) and my friend ordered La Misionera; everything was delicious!!! We got to try their empanadas and pandebono which were soft in the inside and crispy on the outside. Their appetizers had the perfect combo of crunch and flavor. The empanadas and pandebono were my favorite, I took some home to my family and grabbed a few more for the weekend :)

We went with the cheese bread and the mixed plate. You could have fed 4 grown men. This is where you appreciate true to ethnicity food. No messing...no pretending and no nonsense. I don't think I could have bought the ingredients, seasoned and cooked this for any less than what we paid. The table next to us ordered the fried fish...as full as I was...I wanted to taste that fish. La Finda Antioquena, thank you for a great experience. We will recommend this place and WE WILL DEFINITELY COME BACK. I would give it 10 stars if I could.

    To begin the service is horrible. Nobody I mean we had two different people come up to our table…read moreand neither of them greeted us. The woman (Sandra) who came up to our table was to ask us to move to a smaller table. Mind you we sat there so we could watch the World Cup game as we waited and ate. She was so rude about it!!! Then the waiter to finally came to take our order was also rude. Didn't greet us, they lack manners. I liked one of the empanadas but they have a different name, other than that their food was bland tasteless. I came here with a Colombian friend who wanted to try Colombian food in LA she liked her plate but it was the most simple thing you could order, steak rice and beans. Would never go back here ever... oh also the place was filthy they should keep their tables and floors clean come on.

Their selection of tinned fish is impressive -- high‑quality brands, great variety, and everything is displayed so thoughtfully that you can't help but browse a little longer.

They have "THE" French butter, and yes I went home with $100 worth of butter. No regrets. The workers were quite welcoming, and the prices are NOT overly marked up at all. I was expecting prices to be more expensive than usual, but I was very surprised and delighted to see that it wasn't. Whenever I head to this side of Cali, I'll be sure to stop by here for my treats.
