We had a good Colombian lunch here. The location is familiar as we used to come to the English pub when it was located here. I got the special of the day (always ask during the week for it). It was quite good. The special included today's soup -- a bowl of cilantro soup. It reminded me of dal or pea soup. It was tasty. A chicken breast with mushrooms in a mustard sauce along side fluffy white rice, sweet plantains, and an interesting potato salad (with veggies and chicken). My husband got their avocado salad. It was a huge plate with lettuce, tomato slices, onion slivers, and wedges of fresh avocado. On the side was a passion fruit dressing and another one with cilantro. Service was good. Our food came out fast from the kitchen. And yes, we would rerun . read more

Las Orquideas Restaurant - Colombian Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

First time for lunch and got a few things to try. Chicken empanadas - The crust was crispy but not very flavorful. The texture was not of my liking either. It was ok, I would not get again. Churrasco - Came in a sizzling hot plate on a bed of onions. The flavor was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some pepper and the sauce on the table to enjoy it more. Grilled chicken - My friend liked his dish. It was lean and nicely grilled. The staff was a bit inefficient. Took a long time to get a glass of water, silverware, etc. read more

I tried to place an order but it didn't go through for some reason. But then My mom who lives in Fort Lauderdale told me that she had a bad experience there and that a friend of hers did too. So I wa salad the order didn't actually go through because u had originally ordered breakfast to pick up for Mother's Day as it's the o Lu Colombian restaurant in the area. I may still give a shot one of these days but I would have to go alone or just my hubby & son Haven't been there yet so can't tell how the ambiance is. read more

Great breakfast and can not wait to come back for dinner! Empanadas were so simple and delicious. My boyfriend grew up with a Colombian family/neighbors and said the food tasted exactly how they made it, brought him back to childhood. Great local spot read more

Las Orquideas Restaurant - Colombian Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

I placed an order online and it was very smooth. It did take awhile to get my food once we got there to pick it up because it still wasn't ready and I only order soup and empanadas. I ordered the Ajiaco soup this past Sunday and unfortunately I was not impressed with how bland and flavorless it was. Such a bummer because I really love that soup. I was feeling crappy, in search of comfy food, and it just didn't hit the spot. However, the cheese empanadas were delicious! I would give them another try, but probably for something other than the soup. read more

Me encanta venir a este restaurante. Pero no me había tan decepcionada como el día de hoy. Vine desde North Carolina pero pésimo servicio el fin de semana. Cuando entramos nos tomaron la orden para la bebida, se llegó en tardar el café unos 30 minutos. Se tardaron mucho con la orden, atendieron a personas primero que nosotros y ellos llegaron después. A la hora de pagar, perdieron nuestra cuenta. Espero poder regresar y que tengan mejor servicio al cliente . read more

So happy we finally checked this place out. We've been craving a bandeja paisa for some time and it was so delicious here!!! And the empanadas was perfect as well. I can not wait to come back here to eat again. Absolutely loved it!! read more

Probably best traditional Colombian food in south Florida that I have had. My girl and I ordered the ajiaco, tamal, churrasco, three fruit juices (guanabana y Lulo) y pan de Bono. Enjoyed it all and left happy, satisfied and well fed. Great service, price and quality. I would go back and order the same or something similar again. read more

Las Orquideas Restaurant - Front of the restaurant - Colombian Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

Excellent traditional Colombian food. It's a great spot for a work lunch break or out to dinner. Their almojabanas and empanadas are some of the best I've tried and I always recommend their churrasco to my friends because it does not disappoint. Highly Recommend: Churrasco, almojabanas, jugos naturales. read more

I have visited many Colombian restaurants, some better than others. I base this opinion on how their Ajiaco tastes like. Ajiaco for those not in the loop is a typical chicken and potatoes soup that is typically served on Sundays. Before I get to that. It is worth mentioning that this place has been fully upgraded and expanded. It is bigger, and it has a more eclectic feel, while still retaining a latin flavor. We came on New Year's eve during lunch. It wasn't busy, we were shown to a table and brought menus and water. I ordered a cafe con leche, which was really good. We placed out order and we waited, hubby's food came (after other patron's food who came after us did) My food was taking very long, and we couldn't see our waitress to ask about it. Eventually she came as saw i still didnt have food and went to the kitchen to find out what was the hold up. Finally I got my soup. Veredict, the flavor was good, but it didnt have a lot of checken or potatoes. Mostly broth, It was weird to enjoy the flavor, but miss all the other stuff. The soup does come with a side of rice and some salad. I don't eat white rice, but I had to add some to the broth for consistency. If I'm in the area, I would come back, but there are other Colombian restaurants I like more. read more

The food here was exactly what we wanted! The juices were amazing ! The service was unexpectedly great Try all the sauces they have YOU MUST HAVE their empanadas!!! And the guava bread thing ummmmmmmmmm!!!!!!! read more

Unfortunately this place has lowered is standards. I came here a few times before but after 3 years came back and the food was just not the same. Good service but I had old bread, which the waiter explained it was from.yesterday. Also the empanadas tasted old. The only thing may have been fresh was the coffee. Overall, I won't be coming back. read more

The paisa is to die for and the bakery is outstanding. Service is fair ambience is ok only.

We ate for the first time, clean place, fairly full. Service was very pleasent but food slow. Mojarra frita very good. We also order a Mondongo Soup, very plentiful but menu said $5.50 we were charged $11, not knowing the price we ordered one to ho, when we served it was a lot smaller and undercooked So we feel taken, charde $11 more than we expected plus one was undercook the meat. Will not be back read more

Delicious food great host and workers a great place to have Authentic Colombian food . Great happy hour 5 pm to 7pm ..

Excellent Colombian restaurant. Food was delicious and the portions were huge. Was here on a Friday morning for late breakfast. Two of us ordered different items but same result. The service was wonderful with an attractive waitress that was very attentive. Colombian coffee having a full robust flavor really hit the spot. Inside the restaurant was a really nice layout and the place was kept clean. Coming back? Yes for sure! read more

Las Orquideas Restaurant - Bandeja Paisa - Colombian Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

A very "gringo" friendly Columbian/Latin American Restaurant, spotlessly clean, roomy, decent up to date décor, with a top flight wait staff. The food is also very tasty, and portions are good size. Upon the recommendation of my waitress I had the churrasco steak ($12.99) with came with my choice of three sides. The steak was served upon a very hot cast iron skillet (nice touch) with wood holder a bed of red onions and at my request the waitress added some of their special chimichurri sauce. For sides, I had the sweet plantain, beans and a salad with some of the salad dressing that the waitress told me that she prepares. All in all, it was a very nice meal and an overall pleasant experience. One minor fault but one that did strike a nerve with me, fussy prick that I am, was that for a place literally named "the orchids" I was disappointed in that I failed to see an orchid in the place; not even a phony one. I mean really now! Sheeze! What a horrid let down, but I'll get over it and stop bitching about the fact within four or five years from now. The menu is also very complete with just about anything one would expect from a restaurant specializing in Columbian/Latin American cuisine. They also have a website which is, generally speaking, far better than the websites of most other area restaurants. read more

Nice authentic Colombian restaurant and bakery. The food is tasty, the decor is modern and nice. My rating is solely on take-out orders, I have tried the Bandeja steak which consists of chicharron (crispy pork skin), a thin steak, rice, beans, avocado, plantains, and a fried egg - it was very good but the steak was too thin for my preference. I have also tried the empanadas, the Pandebono (cheese bread), and chicken criolla which is seasoned chicken breast served with rice, beans, salad and plantains. The food is good, the menu is small. I've had better Colombian, if you are in the area definitely check it out but don't go out of your way. read more

Perfect restaurant to satisfy your Colombian cravings and really just about any other Latin American Foods you may be in the mood for. This place is doing an excellent job at providing some of our favorite Colombian foods, pastries and even sweets. At las Orquideas you can have breakfast, lunch or dinner; it's just perfect any day at any time. You cannot go wrong with any of the menu items, everything is authentic fresh and delicious. Some of my favorites are the empanadas, the bandeja paisa and the desserts. They truly have something for everyone and their staff is just wonderful. Always a great experience when I visit Las Orquideas. read more

It's so good and authentic. The customer service is great and they really appreciate us! I come here every week and they never disappoint. read more

I have had a fair share of Colombian food but this place was a disappointment. My mora con leche tasted fermented like the pulp was expired or it was stored incorrectly. The food was served cold and bland. The pastries were served cold even though we asked if they could warm it up. The basic yuca fries were messed up. They tasted like mozzarella sticks instead. The bandeja paisas was the worst of all. The chicharon was over cooked leading to an inedible piece of pork. I feel bad for tourists that comes here thinking they're about to get some good Colombian food. One stars for fast customer service but the food definitely need to be revamped. read more

First off, I'm torn about writing this review. The food at this place was great. The cheese bread is great. The steak and the chicken with passion fruit sauce was amazing. The service was good as well. HOWEVER, the have deceptive billing practices. Maybe (hopefully), it was just our waiter and not a general issue with the staff/owner of the restaurant. The problem we had was that they added a 20% gratuity charge (we were only 4) without telling us. That would have been fine, we were happy with the service and would have gladly paid 20%. But then when we got the bill, they stuck an ipad in front us and asked how much tips we wanted to leave (10%, 15%, 20%, etc.). Without realizing they had already charged 20%, we added ANOTHER 20% to the bill (essentially paying 20% gratuity on the full bill + 20% they had already added). Granted, maybe we should have been more vigilant and checked the bill before adding another 20% tip, but we never thought they would be deceptive and make us pay an ADDITIONAL tip (without saying anything, and even urging us to hit the ipad button with added tips). Definitely shady and makes us not want to come back despite the great food. read more

I have picked up from this place a couple of times and the food is pretty good, today I decided to eat some late breakfast here, service is fast! I sat outside as the weather is beautiful, there are some outside spaced out tables which is wonderful, the server are wearing masks which makes me feel comfortable. I had un jugo de lulu en leche, una arepa de choclo con queso, y un buñuelo, el buñuelo was a bit cold in the inside but it tasted good. If you live in the area and want some good Colombian try it! read more

This place is a rip-off. I have given this place so many chances trying to support my local restaurants and my Colombia people but unfortunately it just keeps on disappointing me. My orders have been wrong multiple times, the food quantities are not good and now I received an insult of an order (see the photo). I ordered a breaded pork and what I got was basically no pork and all bread. Please keep in mind that the place is not cheap and the services is far from good. The bakery items are not always fresh and if you don't ask they will send you cold and stiff breads and buñuelos. The saddest part is that when you have a complain you barely receive an I'm sorry and they make no effort to satisfy the customer. Never buying from here again! read more

Food - 4* Service - 5* Price - 5* Ordered Bandeja Montanera - the main difference between the Montanera and the Bandeja Paisa is the Montanera doesn't come with chorizo/salchicha (sausage), but this variety is still delicious and the plate comes stacked with food for $13, you can't go wrong - 4* Papa Rellena - fried potato filled with shredded meat and vegetables, add on picante (salsa) for some spice and it's a solid appetizer (can be shared by 2 people or devoured by 1) - 4* read more

Latin food is in the heart of many in south Florida. looking for a good Latin restaurant is an easy task! So many options but not all of them are the greatest. I'm sad to give Las Orquidias only 3 stars. The reason why? Food. The place and environment are great! You will be transported to a happy and friendly place :) and you'll get a chance to practice Spanish. But the food it's not the greatest :( I found pieces of egg shells in my Colombian eggs and my arepa tasted like the ones bought frozen from the store. Las Orquidias I know you can do better than this, keep trying!! :) read more
