    My first time trying Colombian food and it was so enjoyable!! The service here is so friendly; I was greeted with smiles all around. You can really tell that this is an independently owned mom and pop shop where the owners and employees enjoy the company of their customers. The waitresses exchanged conversations (all conducted in Spanish) with the customers and clients. I had no clue what to order, and so carefully observed what surrounding tables got. A couple of customers had this big bowl of soup in front of them, served with a heap of rice, a slice of very ripe and beautiful avocado, a banana, and a small container of dairy (full fat cream or milk). Seeing that this was a very popular dish, I asked for it. The soup is called Ajiaco, and it was definitely not the sancocho or mondogo featured on the menu. The waitress told me that this was a special dish served only on Saturdays and Sundays. The ajiaco soup had lots of potatoes, green peas, chicken breast, and a piece of corn. There were also other herbs and greens that I couldn't quite place my finger on. The small dairy container is meant to be added to the soup - I added a few drops and it really did accentuate and richen the flavour. Without it, the soup is still flavourful but slightly bland. I also tried my friend's bandeja - if you're looking for the biggest bang for your buck, definitely go for this dish! It comes with a friend egg, chorizo, pork belly, steak flank, beans, and rice. I had a piece of the pork belly and it was absolutely out of this world! It was unbelievably crispy; though erring on the dry side, it was super flavourful and fatty. I'm a sucker for crispy food, and it didn't disappoint. Additionally, I sampled my friend's appetizer, the salchipapas. Sliced sausages came served on a bed of fries with a small boiled quail egg on the side. This dish tasted absolutely amazing with the salsa. Actually - the salsa really added flavour to everything! It was the best salsa I've ever had!! We also tried the Colombiana, a Fanta like drink. I didn't find it particularly special, but we most definitely order the lulo juice next time I come! I must also try the empanadas next time.

    Meat dish. Every single part of it was dry, tough, and chewy.

    Maybe this was just a case of expectations being too high but sadly this place was a bit of a miss in my books. I'd seen the pictures and the fantastic reviews so naturally I was pumped to eat here. I ordered the plate that is mostly meat, and my friend got a dish that also sounded pretty appetizing (I don't recall the names of either but pictures are attached). The rice dish was alright. It came with corn bread and a slice of cheese that was quite good. The rice component itself though was only okay. It was a decent medley of sausage and beans; just not good enough that I would order it again. It was pretty plain and tasted like something I would throw together at home from leftovers. The meat dish was the biggest letdown. Everything ranged from super dry to super chewy. It was a bit of a chore to eat to be honest, and we struggled through it. I'd like to give this place the benefit of the doubt because it does seem to have a dedicated following, especially among locals. Hopefully next time I'll find something I like better on their menu.

    Tilapia

    I've been wanting to try Colombian food for some time now and I can confirm that this place will not disappoint. We had the lengua and the tilapia as the server had suggested that they were the most popular options. The lengua was amazing! It had great depth and was so incredibly tender. Definitely the best dish we had here and quite possibly the best lengua we've ever had. The tilapia was good...not noteworthy, but tasty. We had the flan for dessert (not pictured here). It was rich and decadent. Perfect with a cup of coffee. Service was very warm and friendly as well.

    Great food! Awesome service! :) I loved how Paisa takes his time to interact every single customer who walks in. Will definitely come back for more.

    Chicken Empanada.
    Barbara D.

    Fantastic. But, disclaimer - this review is based on their empanadas. On the Saturday of a family party, I desperately called around the city looking for a spot that could make a large batch of empanadas on short notice. Las Delicias said yes instantly, and was so incredibly helpful and friendly. I ordered a tray of 20 empanadas (at $1.50 each), and they were ready within an hour (they were also gobbled up by family members - a total hit). First, the location. Located just west of Hurontario Street and Dundas Street, don't let the drab exterior fool you. Inside, the place is clean, warm, lively, homey and inviting. Space is limited but there are enough tables if you're visiting as a couple or a small group. Second, the service. I couldn't thank the servers here enough. So friendly, helpful, and taught us to eat Colombian empanadas the "right" way (i.e. cutting the empanadas open and scooping the salsa into it, not dipping the entire empanada into the cup of salsa like us noobs were doing). Third, the empanadas. For comparison, versus places like Todo Rico and Colombia Mia, these empanadas are a bit different. It's definitely lighter in texture (it isn't hard and crunchy like others I've tried in Mississauga) and the stuffing is pretty substantial (you can really taste and feel the significant amount of meat they stuff into the empanada - good value, and incredibly delicious). If you're debating between chicken or beef, go for the chicken. We compared the two, and the chicken seemed a lot tastier, with more flavour. We will definitely be back here again. Simple, unpretentious, and fantastic food prepared with care.

    Bandeja Paisa...too good!
    Michelle S.

    Home made Colombian Food at its finest! Its more like a take-out place but there is some seating to sit about 15 ppl. I just love trying out diff colombian restaurants because i loveee trying out diff genres of hispanic food. I ordered a Bandeja Paisa, which is basically all the meat food groups in one plate. Protein over load! A fried egg, home made sausage, steak, beans, fried pork rinds which is deeeliciouss, fried plantain plus a thick tortilla. All of that on top of white rice. Its just a plate for champions. I ate this as a brunch thing...it was definately worth it. My postobon drink (apple flavoured soda) and the plate was $14 bucks...well worth it. Until next time Las Delicias!

    Beef empanada with spicy homemade salsa.

    Authentic Colombian food in Mississauga. First off I've never tried this particular cuisine until my gf took me here and it was delicious. I ordered the Bandeja Paisa which essentially is giant meat platter. Slices of tender carne asada, deep fried pork, chorizo sausage, arepas, plantains and a fried egg on top of a plate of beans and rice make for quite a meal. I finished the entire portion myself but this can easily be shared. A must-try for all meat lovers who like to indulge in a hearty meal. My gf ordered the carne asada platter which came with a generous portion of thinly sliced, tender beef with beans and rice. She loved it and even that was quite filling. Lastly, the beef empanadas are amazing. Not too oily and filled to the brim with beef, these empanadas go well with their spicy homemade salsa. The location itself is in a small strip mall on Dundas, in between Hurontario and Confederation and can get busy and packed at times due to its size. Not sure if you can call ahead to order, but I suggest inquiring about it if you're planning on doing take-out.

    Bandeja Paisa, great flavour, crunchy pork belly, Colombian Chorizo, beans, Beef with chimichurri, plantains and egg. This plate is huge !

    In the heart of the city hidden in a small lot. This is the place to have great Colombian. The decor is not fancy but who cares the food is great. The people that work there are also great very helpful. Huge portions and I mean huge. This is a must go place. Great prices for the same price as a burger you get a great meal. See pictures.

    Another International Supper Club evening with a group of awesome yelpers who are all about sampling the schmorgesborg of international eats we have at our fingertips in the #905 area of the GTA. Las Delicias has been noted as nothing much to look at from the outside, which is why you might completely drive by this tiny shop buried in the extreme corner of strip mall near Dundas and Hurontario. However this tiny authentically Colombian shop is pushing out big smiles, huge portions and even bigger flavours for customers. Oh and to counter balance all this big talk... the prices are super cheap. Boom! It's got maybe 18 seats total so our group of 8-10 took up a good portion of the dining space, however, we were the only ones sitting down to eat as the majority of the traffic (and there was a lot) was take out, so don't feel like you "have to" stay in and eat. To start I got a Colombian Kola beverage which tasted like Coke or Pepsi but with another cup of sugar, not too sweet but definitely sugary. I loved it! For the table I got a few orders of Empanadas. They split the orders up between chicken/beef and cheese. These were UNREAL. Crispy and piping hot on the outside, soft/gooey and flavourful on the inside. Paired with the salsa-esque sauce they provide in hot and mild on the side to dip and BAM... a flavour explosion that will make your toes curl! I easily could have just had a dozen empanadas and a kola and been happy, but the menu here was so vast with so many items on it, I had to control myself and order something popular and authentically Colombian. Myself and most of the members of our group ordered the most popular item which was the Bandeja Paisa. This dish was insane... the plate was overflowing with food. The Bandeja Paisa came with: fried pork belly, flank steak, fried eggs, fried plantain, rice and beans, an arepa and Colombian sausage. Holy crap! I could barely finish my mean. The plantain, sausage and rice and beans were unexpectedly awesome (usually not my fave menu items), the flank steak was flavourful but a tad tough (common however, in thinner cuts of beef), and the pork belly while flavourful was a tad too much for me after about my 8th or 9th piece (they give you a LOT! Add to the food the fact that the service was so friendly and helpful, I cannot wait to come back and try some other items. Eatcrest Out!

    I've been appreciating and searching for Latin American cuisine lately and so far i've been quite pleased with the variety of offerings. I was in Mississauga so did a quick search and Las Delicias was pretty much up there with solid reviews. The Colombian restaurant had to be authentic as I felt like a fish out of water looking at the decor and the customer base. As I was trying to make sense of the menu , the lady at the front was nice enough to recommend the bandeja paisa which was supposedly the most popular dish. With it I also ordered some taco like sandwich with chicken and chicharon and some flan for dessert. The bandeja paisa itself was a bit insane. Really breakfast and lunch in one meal. Sausage, beans, egg, and beef, fried pork belly, and some corn bread. Each item by itself wasn't amazing. But all elements combined along with that chilli dipping sauce they provide is something would definitely order regularly. I was too full to fully appreciate that taco thing but that was good also. If there was a con, I'd say the pork belly could have been more crispy but other than that really enjoyed it and for the prices, absolutely worth it. When trying out a new cuisine the servers typically asks how I liked the food. Even If I hated it I still say I enjoyed it. In this case I think the cleaned up plates said more than any words could.

    I have been to many different cuisines but this one was my first Colombian meal.... and I have to say they did not disappoint me. This is a low key family owned restaurant with exception service. The owner is very friendly and helpful with the menu and suggestion on what is best. The restaurant itself was quite clean and you can see one lady making the meal live at the back. The menu has quite a few option and is not too harsh on the pocket. I was there with too of my other co-workers so we wanted to try multiple thing. For starts we had I think "Empanada" it like stuffed bread fried with shredded chicken or beef and then he gave a special sauce with it. I loved the sauce it was awesome... a great combination of coriander and peppers. for the main course we tried ordered 3 separated dished. First being Arepas which is like their street food. It like tacos or sandwich in a pita... the shredded chicken glued with melting cheese was quite good. Then we ordered a chicken dish.. which came with grilled check with rice and salad as well as very taste beans and very sweet fried plantain. Then it was time to try a fish dish also recommended by the owner... The dish had salad and Two pieces of grilled fish with corn bread. The fish tasted very fresh and it was awesome. Over all it was a very good experience and I would definitely go again to this location.

All the staff are so friendly - from the waitstaff to the chefs / owners and kitchen staff, everyone in the restaurant seems to exhibit the Latin American hospitality and friendliness. The place feels homey, cozy, and festive with the music in the background (from the TV screen on the wall), and big photos depicting different places in Colombia along the wall. Ambience is very laid-back and casual, with amazing food that tastes homemade and authentic. It took a while for the food to cook and come out (about 40 minutes) - mostly because of the Cazuela de Mariscos (seafood soup) that took the longest to cook. It was also during a very busy time on a weekend. They seemed to have a constant flow of incoming catering and take-out orders (a good sign), and the restaurant itself was packed. All / most mains come with coconut rice, salad, and tostones (fried plantains). As for drinks, you can order freshly squeezed juices in either water or milk. We ordered the fresh strawberry & blackberry juice in water, as the one in milk would make it more like a smoothie. Each juice order comes in a jug (whether it be a small or large jug). This came as a surprise to us - really good value for such a large volume of juice ($6 for a whole "small" jug that turned out to be quite big, enough to refill each glass a few times for 2 people). The juice itself tasted fresh, natural, and refreshing. Dishes that we tried: 1) Filete de Tilapia con Camarones (grilled tilapia fish fillet & shrimps with coconut rice, plantain, and salad) - Big pieces of fish and lots of small shrimps, in a very delectable sauce. 2) Arroz Marinero (seafood rice with plantain & salad) - Loved this dish. The rice was a bit soupy which I liked. It was a bit like a soupy paella (including the rice) - very delicious and packed with various kinds of seafood. 3) Cazuela de Mariscos (seafood soup with coconut rice, plantain, and salad) - Very creamy soup, like a chowder. I'm not a big fan of chowders / cream-based soups in general, but others liked it and said this was good. 4) SIDE: Ensalada (House Salad) 5) Arepa de Chocolo con Queso (sweet corn dough with cheese) All of the main dishes were EXCELLENT - loved the mixed seafood (fish fillet, shrimps, octopus, squid, etc.). There was so much seafood in every dish. In most places, you get more carbs / rice compared to the protein. Here, it was the opposite. The coconut rice was a bit dry but it's decent - good to soak up the sauces of the main dishes. The salad is just shredded cabbage and carrot with big sliced tomato. I was a big fan of the salad dressing (some creamy mayo-like dressing), but luckily the dressing was only at the top of the salad (the bottom part of the salad remained fresh and crunchy, which I liked). We ordered the Arepa de Chocolo con Queso for to go. It was different than the Venezuelan arepa that I'm used to. The Colombian arepa seemed to be sweeter and more buttery. It probably would've been better if it was eaten right after it was freshly made, and while it was still warm. There was a lot of cheese in the arepa, giving it a nice salty and savoury contrast to the sweet corn dough. After you're done the meal, you go up to the counter to pay (instead of having the bill brought to your table). Great food overall - I would not hesitate to come back.

This "café" is run by a friendly Colombian woman who answered all my questions of what they serve. Primarily, it's baked empanadas (don't know if they have the fried corn ones), cheese sticks (wrapped in a dough), and canned drinks, including a KILLER blended ice coffee (like a Frap). She also has frozen chorizos to-go! I tried the beef, chicken empanadas, a Tequenos (cheese stick), and the blended coffee - ~$9 for everything. Out of those items the Beef Empanada and blended coffee were the best items! Owner also gave me a homemade hot sauce for the empanadas. Photos would've been helpful, but just talk to owner and ask her what she has! She is very friendly. :)
