    Hot Dog
    Marni M.

    My friends and I came on a late Saturday night. We were happily surprised to see a line of other customers already here. Their business is much deserved for all of their hard work. It was my first time trying a Colombian hot dog and I was not disappointed. It's huge and topped with pineapple, coleslaw, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and crushed potato chips. It may sound overboard but your tastebuds will be over the moon happy. We also got a few empanadas, fried cheese sticks (palitos?), and a few other grab n go items especially since it was down pouring that night. Definitely will be coming again!

    Lot of food hot food ready to go

    If you speak Spanish here it's a plus but otherwise the food is very good I get sandwiches it's a lot of handheld food.. burritos tacos sandwiches and little appetizers chicharron salami and other things definitely they're open late night if you're ever hungry that I think till 2:00 a.m.

    Open till 3am-ish

    Late night food run! We arrived Boston @ 12:30am & checked into the airport hotel by 2am but was hungry. Drove around & except for a few Chinese Takeout places, this place was it. So we had the cheese steak (I think) & the roast beef. With sodas it was $17. The place was packed with locals at 2am & we all had to wait. It was worth it. Food is 4/5 but the price! Outstanding. The neighborhood is sketchy so put on you tough but friendly face & be a little load.

    There food is good but mad expensive especially in a suburban area they barely give you napkins or if u ask for sauce they only give you like what is this Burger King oh sir unfortunately we only can give one sauce if want another one is gonna cost money I didn't bother putting nothing on the tip jar honestly was the point there taxing like crazy I been to other hispanic. Restaurant I pay way less and get more food then what I get here don't get me started on the drinks just go to a nearby family dollar or dollar tree and pay for a bigger drink and paying double of barely a drink and a full cup of ice I'm straight

    Perfectly crunchy outside, gooey and hot inside! Great chicken turnovers.

    Happened upon this place while in East Boston and hungry enough for a snack. First time I tried food here it was raining heavily as I was hungry. As soon as you step in you're staring head-on with a delicious selection of hot and ready foods. Of course there are menu items to be ordered but all the fried treats in the window are almost too good to pass by. There's usually a line, and that's always a good sign. Hungry patrons crowd the dining hall to the left as the smell of their perfectly seasoned plates send salivating sensations wafting to the order-line to seduce soon to be satisfied customers. Beef empanadas are tender and juicy inside while the chicken turnovers are crisp, crunchy and golden brown and perfectly gooey inside... All for a few dollars. Food here is definitely fresh and done right. Recently I had takeout on a cooler day and nearly 20 minutes later it was still steaming hot. You're greeted by warm smiles and hometown hospitality. Their quick and friendly service is just right for a busy city like Boston. -Could not ask for more-

    Amazing food! Good prices and perfect for a late nice snack! Really good Colombian food

    The eggs, arepa with cheeses, and beans is amazing! And for $7, it's a win win.

    Great Food, I believe it is cash only. This is the best Colombian restaurant in the area.

    Ordered take out: -…read moreMini bandeja: Loved the rice and beans (I know it's the most basic part of the plate but if a place can't master these, they lose me). Carne was dry. 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.
