Was not a fan of the sancocho de gallina which is interestingly enough did not have any meat in the soup.. Not a true sancocho. The meal comes with the option of beef chicken or pork on the side which I thought was separate from the "chicken" in the soup. It's not. 100% prefer to dine here for breakfast.

SO DELICIOUS MUST ORDER! Also dip it with the sauce and lime! Trust me! Pan de bono 4/5 Wow definitely had a strong savory flavor of a particular cheese and a squishy / mochi-esqe texture, very delicious and fun to eat! Arepa de choclo 2/5 Weird to the foreign pallete. I liked the cheese! Corn is very filling. Mondongo (green soup) 4/5 Delicious and savory. Tasted like home cooking and very filling for my soul. I would order this again. Also dipping it with some type of bread is also delicious! Buñuelos 3/5 Squishy and dense. Perfect for absorbing savory sauce or soup. If eaten alone is not bad but definitely not a stand alone. Jugo de lulos (green juice) 4/5 Refreshing and light! Not too sweet and tasted fresh like squished green apples. Service Perfect. Attentive and got what we wanted! Ambiance Chill for casual hangouts or family reunions. I will be back for the empanadas as I write this review I am craving them!

It's unfortunate that Yelp doesn't let you leave a zero star review, because there is nothing…read more'gran' about Gran Colombia. Without a doubt, it is THE WORST Colombian restaurant in all of Houston and it hurts me to say this as a Colombian. I was excited to a support a different and new Colombian spot, Ive been to many of them in and around Houston, and made a reservation here many days beforehand to watch Colombia play in the World Cup. The day arrives of the big World Cup match, and my family and I are ready with our friends to have an amazing experience (that never happened) at Gran Colombia. Our entire party is there, and they had us standing at the door for 15 minutes, because they couldn't find the reservation that they had confirmed with us 3 days beforehand. After standing, they found a crappy area in the corner that didn't even fit all of us. They put down chairs around it, and we were seated. It's funny, they hype up this restaurant all over social media as the place to be to watch Colombia play in the World Cups, but that is false advertising. The restaurant is a bit small, and they clearly don't have the capacity or staff to manage an event like this. They have a few screens to watch the game, a bar, and a bakery. However, this place is mediocre. They had a packed house for sure, with only about 2 waitresses running the entire restaurant, it makes no sense. We were seated in our crappy spot, and it took them 30 minutes to give us a menu. Mind you, we had arrive 45 minutes before the game started in anticipation of a fun time that never happened. It took another 30 minutes before a waitress took our order, and yet ANOTHER 30 minutes before our mediocre food arrived. We watched the entire first half of the game, in our crappy corner, with no food or drink. We were definitely starving and thirsty. We ordered a Picada, empanadas, Maracuyá Margarita, Arepas, and a Colombian burger. It was all terrible.... The Picada came out cold, ideally it should be a platter with all types of meat, potatoes, Yuca and plantains. OH AND IT SHOULD COME OUT AT LEAST WARM. Nope...didn't happen The Super Picada was small, the meat came out cold, the arepita was hard, and it was just not worth the price. The empanadas and burger were decent, but nothing special, you can find something 10x better at another Colombian restaurant. Also, THEY NEVER BROUGHT OUT THE AREPAS WE ORDERED. My poor son was eating out of our mediocre Picada, because his arepas never arrived. The service was non-existent and just poor. It was also ridiculously hot inside the restaurant. We looked at the thermostat and they had it at 80 degrees. Wow, just wow. I wasn't sure if we were at 'Gran Colombia' or 'Gran Sauna'. They really have this restaurant packed with people excited to watch fútbol and have the thermostat at 80... Once they finally decided to bring the check, it was pricey and of course, they included gratuity that they did not deserve. Gran Colombia is bottom of the barrell. Houston has such delicious Colombian restaurants, with tons of them in the Katy areas. They are all above this poor establishment. This is not the spot to watch a game or spend your money. Nonexistent service with mediocre food that is not worth the price. No señor....

BEWARE! this place tried to force us to give a tip by including it in the total for a "table of 5"…read moreeven though only 4 adults ordered food and 1 adult joined our table for a cup of coffee. They do not have anything that states this on any menus or on the walls or anywhere that discloses if there's a table of 5 there is a REQUIRED 10% tip. So I was shocked when the manager informed me that the rule was verbal and instead of allowing me to speak to the owner she claimed she could do nothing. The manager (older woman with glasses) insisted that it was a "verbal rule" which is why it's not documented on anything. That seems ILLEGAL. In addition, the service is BAD. If the service would've been good I might not even have noticed this extra change on my receipt. So sad that it seems they just want to take advantage of people. I suggest trying OTHER Colombian restaurants in the area. This one is NOT worth your money. Traducido al español: ¡CARE CUIDADO! Este lugar trató de obligarnos a dar una propina incluyéndola en el total para una "mesa de 5" a pesar de que solo 4 adultos pidieron comida y 1 adulto se unió a nuestra mesa para una taza de café. No tienen nada que indique esto en ningún menú o en las paredes o en cualquier lugar que revele si hay una mesa de 5 hay una propina REQUERIDA del 10%. Así que me sorprendió cuando la gerente me informó que la regla era verbal y en lugar de permitirme hablar con el propietario, afirmó que no podía hacer nada. La gerente (mujer mayor con gafas) insistió en que era una "regla verbal", por lo que no está documentada en nada. Eso parece ILEGAL. Además, el servicio es MALO. Si el servicio hubiera sido bueno, ni siquiera habría notado este cambio adicional en mi recibo. Es tan triste que parece que solo quieren aprovecharse de la gente. Sugiero probar OTROS restaurantes colombianos de la zona. Este NO vale tu dinero.
