I decided to go with here to taste a different part of the world. The dish I selected, is the Banda Paisano Trifeca which is a macro and micronutrient bomb of delicious vegetables, starches, and protein. Apparently many with very hard physically demanding jobs need a "strong meal," and within Columbian Culture this dish was formed. Beautiful story, AND it has blood sausage!!! The place was slammed but got me the first available seat in 10 mins or so, and though we both couldn't communicate beyond the common cordial words and menu semantics, her demeanor and body language was very inviting and courteous. This place was a class act. Get you some!!!

I felt overlooked and treated with very little consideration, while other tables seemed to receive a much more friendly and attentive approach. As for the food, it's not terrible, but it definitely doesn't make up for the poor service. There are plenty of places where you're made to feel welcome and appreciated as a customer--this was not one of them. I wouldn't return or recommend it.

Whatever you get. you can't go wrong, it's all good. The inside is spacious and large enough, never filled. Feels very inviting and homely. Great food, great service, and great feeling even after you're full. Just Great and worth coming to again and again. Must Try.

The vegan plate had black beans, white rice, plantains, and a side salad. The bandeja paisa had beans, a fried egg, chicharron, steak, rice, plantain, and chorizo. The meat was perfectly grilled but the chicharron was a little tough but still good. The vegan plate had much flavor -- the beans were tasty and the rice fresh. They were very generous with the plantains. The complimentary tortilla chips and salsa were so fresh and delicious. The spinach empanada was a little tough - it was crispy but there was less spinach than I would have expected and the cheese in it wasn't really melted either. Overall the food was very fresh and delicious. Parking can be tricky bc their lot fits only 3 cars. We parked a couple blocks in the neighborhood. Front of the store parking also seems limited. Service was kind and efficient. Food came out in less than 5-10 minutes. Place is well decorated and has nice seemingly traditional decor inside.

I've been here a few times since I tag along with my Columbian friend for brunch here. This place is not for vegetarians. So, keep on driving or skip reading this if you are. The empanadas here are delicious. My favorite type of empanadas. Made with a crunchy, fried corn dough filled with meat. Served with encurtido, it's a Columbian salsa type but little spice. What I had recently here is sanchocho. This soup reminds me of a caldo de res but with oxtail, plantain, yucca. It also has potato and corn. Very hearty and comforting. It's served with a side of white rice on the side and arepa. If you every come here for breakfast, you'll be fed like a champion. Try the bandeja paiso.. Take your gout pills first. It's a meat fest. Serving of fried pork belly (crispy chitarrones), grilled steak (churrasco). It's served with rice, beans, egg, plantains, arepas, Comes with heart healthy avocado and a tomato for good health. You might have a hard time standing up after this meal. The service here is always good. Well especially because my friend is a regular.

I planned on going to the movies with my family and had heard about this Colombian fast food spot…read morenext door. We are Colombian, so we immediately knew we had to try Mr. Bacano at our earliest opportunity. We came on a Saturday night around 6pm and were the only ones there. The restaurant is super close to the theatre and is a very small and cozy place. They have some traditional Colombian decor along one of the side walls which looks like a cute little balcony and elevates the aesthetics. They have bar style seating along the walls and window with stools as well as a couple of tables so there is not too much room for eating inside but they do have more tables outside! The staff was incredibly warm and nice-- plus they are also Colombian! They have a pretty comprehensive menu of burgers, hot dogs, empanadas, salchipapas (fries with sausage), and corn, etc, and they offer a variety of Colombian sodas which was exciting to see. We placed our orders and since we were the only ones there for dine in, they started cooking and had them out in less than 10 minutes. For food I tried: Empanadas: they offer several fillings but I tried one of the chicken and one of the cheese. The shell was made of fried corn dough and it was delicious-- it had the perfect level of moisture and was very crispy without being oily at all! I was very impressed. The chicken came filled with some shredded chicken and potatoes and the cheese one was generously filled with this delicious, melted cheese. They gave us some aji, or spicy sauce, on the side which was delicious! Very happy with these. Hawaiian Burger: to preface this, I try not to eat red meat and have not had a beef burger in probably 3-4 years. I am not sure I have the strongest gauge for this but I personally found the burger delcious and filling. The buns were toasted but not buttery/oily, the meat patty was generous and well seasoned, and the toppings just made this taste like home. Adding pineapple to food is such a Colombian staple so I'm happy I found a place where I can get food which quenches that nostalgic desire for pineapple on random savory things. All their sauces are also amazing but my favorites were the cilantro and the garlic! I added a little more to my burger and it was divine! Salchipapa: we split a small order to try between our table and I will say these were very delicious! The fries were perfectly crispy and again, not oily at all. They added a medley of their delicious sauces as well as a lot of cheese and very good sausage. Would highly recommend this! I thought they were very strong although I wish they had a little bit more sausage but I'm sure the larger order comes with more. Very good! Overall, had a really great experience here. I'm happy a fast food Colombian place has joined the Santa Clarita community and that it is well located nearby the movie theatre. The staff was incredibly kind and personable, the place was very clean, and the food was delicious! If you are looking for some great fast food with a little twist outside your average American place, don't hesitate to come here!

Decent spot. My order was ready in about 20 minutes, and the customer service was fine. The food…read moreitself was okay, but for the slightly elevated prices, I expected a bit more. Portion sizes were on the smaller side, and the ingredients didn't feel particularly special. The seasoning was underwhelming, and I found the lack of spice options disappointing--it just didn't hit the mark for me. The burger I had was a bit of a letdown, with conflicting flavors. It was crunchy in some spots, soggy in others, and oddly sweet, which didn't quite come together. Still, I'm curious to try the empanadas next time and see if they redeem the experience
