This place is a Colombian hidden gem. The bandeja paisa is a tour of Colombian cuisine. It has a little of everything. We really enjoyed it and can't wait to come back. The only lace is small and there is only one staff but they are very helpful. read more

Macondo Kitchen - Sancocho de pollo, empanada, guava& cheese empanada - Colombian Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Their food is okay. Not delicious. They don't have a menu instead, one of their walls they have an improvised menu with no prices. They don't have a bathroom. If Morton's The Steakhouse have a menu why don't they offer one? read more

Ever since I have come to this new place. It was very good and there was nothing bad. Until, they added horrible things to Almuerzo. They've adding spaghetti and this watery soup which I think its so disgusting that I think I could not eat at this place no more. This is either hit or miss, the service was good and the ambiance was superb. But it is a hit or mess, I will likely won't be coming back here some time read more

This place is AMAZING. I used to live in LA and now I'm in Oregon so whenever I come back for a visit I need Colombian food. I gave this place a try and so glad I did. The bandeja paisa was incredible. Also had a chance to try the pandebono and that was delicious, too. Definitely hit this spot up next time I'm in town. read more

There are no prices listed anywhere, not on the printed menus or the chalkboard....which is all in English. BUT none of the severs speak or read English. Trying to order was a comedy of error and waste of time if you don't speak Spanish. Food? So not worth it. Way Over priced and obviously not fresh. The meat inside the beef empanadas was frozen, which we paid $4 for. Awful. Don't waste your time or money. read more

A clean place to satisfy you with tasty delicious food. I was hungry and had to submit a report for work. I called Macondo Kitchen and asked if I could plug in my laptop to work on my report while waiting for the food. they said "no problem". I was treated great, the food was delicious and the prices are reasonable. My husband ordered sancocho de cola and empanada de papa and I had carne encebollada. The portions fill you up and the place is clean. the staff is friendly, attentive, and professional. I highly recommend this place. read more

My husband and I went for a late lunch. I was surprised how good their food was. My husband had the bandeja paisa plate while I had steak with onions plate. Tasty! We tried the beef and potatoes empanadas, definitely a hit. The server was pleasant and knowledgeable and we will definitely will be back. And lastly they have cheese bread, a hit for my husband and I. We ordered 8 cheese breads to go. That will go great with our morning coffee. read more

Best beef empanadas and their juices are delicious as well! Will definitely come back!

Expensive, not very tasty. No bathrooms and no prices displayed. Make sure you bring enough money.

We make the 20 mile drive down to Macondo Kitchen to enjoy the authentic Colombian food. My family is Colombian and totally recommend everything! Eating here brings me back to my childhood! The service is always great too! read more

I went for breakfast with my family and all the food was delicious they really taste like Colombian food awesome

Walked right in speaking Spanish asking if they had a menu and this guy responded in English... I thought they were Colombian and spoke Spanish. I'm native speaker so there's no way he didn't understand my Spanish. That was the first sign to have left lol. I spent over sixty bucks: empanadas, sopa de cola, bandeja. The meat empanada was mostly potato, a few strings of meat; the sopa was ok, the bandeja had a chicharron that was soft, only the top part was crunchy, the steak was flavorless (not even salt on it) and the chorizo was raw. I got home to season the steak, finish cooking the chorizo and keep cooking the chicharron (the consistency was more like a cow's breast than chicharron). If I'm going to spend money on food at a restaurant I expect it to be edible versus going home to fix it. I should have stayed in an just cook and save my money. I do not recommend at all. The only good thing was the aji for the empanadas and the "ok" customer service from the cashier. Other than that, nothing saves this place. I miss the Colombian food from the East Coast. It's a high standard, I know. I haven't found anything close to compare it to in Los Angeles... not going back to this one. read more

We went there for a Birthday Celebration. I cannot say enough about the hospitality of the owner and the wonderful food. We had a variety of dishes including the chicken with mushroom, the oxtail soup, French fries piled high with chorizo, empanadas, and a sampling of cheese bread. Then when the owner noticed it was a birthday celebration he brought over a Torta Negra. It was delicious. There was such a wide variety of dishes that we will come back many times to try to sample them. The breakfast looks delicious also. I highly recommend this charming Columbian restaurant and look forward to many more meals there. The owner and his wife went out of their way to make sure we had a wonderful evening! read more

Best Colombian food in Los Angeles. The Bandeja Paisa is my favorite dish but the empanadas are amazing

Amazing Colombian spot. Got the bandeja paisa, la reina arepa, and empanadas and it was all amazing!

There's a new place in town! Tasty! Tempting! And with the most lovely residents of Bogata. In a neighborhood desperately in need of some more flavor, this glorious little pocket of savory pastries and latin delights is here to please! Highly recommend! read more

Very good arepas. Local place that needs more love. I recommend going here for lunch and ordering some arepas and a empanada

Amazing food! Everything was absolutely delicious. The empanadas were fresh and crispy. The chicharrón was so delicious we had to have a second. We had el sancocho de cola and we loved it. I highly recommend this restaurant. The food was made with love and you can taste it!!! read more

Delicious Colombian food! The soup is good, empanadas are very good. And the lunch is amazing. We tried to find some good Colombian restaurants but none of them were good. But this is good 9/10 read more

See all

You pay for what you eat because honestly the food here is really good, great quality and flavor!

Great food!!! Came here today after I heard there was a new Colombian restaurant on Sherman Way, came here to give it a try and was not disappointed at all, the place feels very cozy and the service was great. We had some arepas to start and I will recommend them with no problem. I Had a Bandeja Paisa, it came with everything it suppose to have and the carne asada was very tender. My wife had the lunch special, it was rice with shredded beef and lentil soup. We order Two juices: Guava and Blackberry, needless to say there were delicious! We found our new Colombian place, we will be back here soon! read more

The food was amazing !!! Me as a Colombian I can say it's been the only Colombian restaurant I've tried so far that actually taste like in home. The service was fabulous They also have a little market next door and it was super cute and have so many options to choose from. Definitely coming back again read more

Doesn't look like much, you walk in very friendly atmosphere great music You get your food and once you take the first bite! You are in heaven!! read more

Love the genuine warmth I'm received with every time I come in! The food is a delicious blend of past and present!

Great quality Colombian food! The beef empanadas are my favorite! And the buñuelos are amazing 100% recommended.

Really nice place, with a great selection of food. The owner was super nice and understanding. The food was delicious and filling.

We ordered 2 arepas, the la rubia(shredded chicken, cheese, guacamole, and hogado sauce), and the La vegana(rice, beans, plantain, guacamole). Both were delicious, but the La vegana impressed me most, how well the sweet plantains balanced with the rice and beans. Got two empanadas, espinaca and bocadillo, and the bocadillo beats Porto's guava/cheese rolls. I don't know enough Colombian food to say what's best, but I'd say I'd show people this restaurant if they asked me what's good in town. read more

Amazing Colombia food felt like I was eating at a Colombia place. Andrew gave an amazing service always checking on us. Food came so fast. Bathroom and kitchen were so clean. La bandeja Paisa and arepas were heaven. read more

Definition of a local hidden gem. Ordered the bandeja paisa, and the la rubia arepa. The portions are large, and the taste is great. Walked in hungry and on a whim. Glad I made the decision. read more

We're Colombian and the arepas were good! About $9 per arepa, $3.50 for arepas con queso, and $6 for the juice (the only thing that was a bit pricey). Sweet server and great menu! read more

Delicious authentic Colombian food. I strongly recommend the Bandeja Paisa and the arepas!
