Waitress almost threw the food at me and I didn't even get a chance to ask for some ice water since my beer was warm and gross 6. Pupusas were thick and doughy and super greasy! I normally leave positive reviews but I felt so disrespected and hated because I'm white and don't speak Spanish...and the service was the worst I've had in years. I'm leaving the review to remind myself to never go back when I'm in San Jose. What a miserable experience.

It's pretty clear i was t only non spanish speaking native and probably also non Colombian. It was a bit of a party even late afternoon. They certainly have a good lock on the diaspora.

I came here for dinner on a weekend, which wasn't too busy. It's my first time at Emelina's #3…read more(Emelina's Plus). I usually go to Emelina's #2, but came to this one since I learned they serve picarones on the weekends. However, when I went they said they didn't have any. Not sure if they sold out or wasn't making it the day I went. Anywho, for two, we ordered the trio Marino #1 and the tacu tacu carne. The trio con Marino #1 comes with arroz con mariscos (seafood rice), ceviche de pescado (fish ceviche), and chicharron de pescado (fried fish). The arroz con mariscos had mussel, shrimp, scallop, and clams which were good. Though want to note, the mussels beard was not taken off. It sort of reminded me of a paella but also a risotto but a little drier. Flavors were on the lighter side. The chicharrón de pescado came with fried fish with yucca and came with tartar sauce. It was alright. Lastly the ceviche de pescado, as always is the highlight of the meal. It was not too tart or acidic. I saw that at every table they also had a fish ceviche. For the tacu taco con bisteck, this is a familiar item we've ordered at Emelina's #2. However, for the one we had here it wasn't as flavorful, but still good. In addition, got a complementary side of corn nuts and a sauce. The sauce was green with a slight kick which went nicely with the meal. Overall, good experience, good food and portion size as well. Definitely recommend trying their mixed combos of appetizers so you get a taste of what you like or not. Also, have to get the fish ceviche here. So good

The menu is diverse and features many traditional Colombian delights. I tried the Llanero Combo, which included a comforting bowl of beef rib broth with potatoes; delicate, rich, and very pleasing to the palate. I paired it with Colombian coffee, the kind grandma used to make, and a refreshing lulo juice. The main dish was a generous combination of pork, beef, potatoes, yuca, and sweet fried plantains, served with ají and guacamole. Everything was delicious and well prepared. On top of that, the service provided by our server, Esmeralda, was exceptional; attentive, friendly, and always smiling. The atmosphere is cozy, and the Colombian-themed décor and music create a warm ambiance that brings back wonderful memories. Definitely a place worth returning to. Medallo... for sure, my friend.

The empanadas were hot and paired with a salsa with good flavor. I ordered the churrasco and my wife got the bandeja paisa. I was disappointed to see my plate only include 1 side. For a $30 plate, you'd expect a lot more things to be included! Instead I selected rice and it was not very fresh. My wife had similar feelings about her meal and thought items tasted like frozen food or dated. I think this restaurant has potential to be very good. However, the prices are a deterrent and did not match the quality of the food. The location was slightly difficult to find too. I'd love to give this spot another chance in the future and hope for improvement.
