Here's a polished Yelp-ready version that keeps it warm and genuine:…read more We've lived in White Plains for almost 10 years, and last night we finally tried Colombian House for the first time--we're so glad we did! The food was fresh, flavorful, and delicious, with generous portion sizes. We especially appreciated that the menu included photos, which made it so much easier to decide what to order. The staff could not have been nicer. Several members of the management team stopped by our table throughout the evening to check on us and make sure we were enjoying our experience. Service was quick and attentive, and the ambience is beautiful--warm, inviting, and a great place for dinner. Our only critique was the chicharrón, which was quite dry and chewy and didn't seem as fresh as the rest of the meal. Everything else was excellent. So happy we finally checked this place out after all these years. We'll definitely be back!

Just got in town...wandering around for a lunch spot and saw Columbia House...quickly checked…read more"Yelp" of course...and based on reviews it was a go. Besides almost every table full at 1:15 lunch...including the back room and it is a large restaurant. We were seated without a wait. Took longer to navigate the huge menu. Hubby and I just wanted a light lunch. He ordered the chicken wings and I ordered the "fish" sandwich w/o cheese. Unfortunately, I was served the chicken sandwich not the requested fish sandwich. It still came with avacado, onions, tomato and lettuce. (No cheese as requested). Once I took a bite I realized I had the wrong sandwich. I was disappointed. Waiter apologized and offered to switch it up...I can see he felt bad and we were not quite sure where we both messed up...could have been me? Him? Not a big deal...I just kept it and enjoyed. Chicken was slighty dry (cheese would have fixed the dryness) but seasoned perfectly. It was a large sandwich with two layers of thin grilled chicken. I would split it next time. I like the way it was served...wrapped in a paper. I requested un-seasoned fries and my request was honored. It was all a generous portion. The restaurant is high energy, food around us all looked delicious and fresh, cocktails looked really good...I wanted to taste the cappuccino martini next to us...tempting to order one. Service was timely, friendly and efficient. Noise level a tad high however it was easy enough to carry on a conversation. Overall, I understand the reason this place was so busy...definately a solid fun place...wish it were on my neighborhood as I enjoy exploring different dishes. Thumbs up for sure.

I've been coming to Fonda Paisa since la Dona Janet opened. My family and I went on Friday night…read more Shelves were bare. No Colombian products. New waitress and workers. They had a large Mexican menu. Colombian drinks gone. Food was served differently. Bandeja Paisa served with no chorizo or arepa. We asked for water and were given pineapple water and chicken wings to start that we didn't ask for. The waitress left before we paid. We were told the credit card machine wasn't working and that we can Zelle or pay cash. The food was good but it wasn't the same and certainly not what I've been eating for 30 years My cousin said she heard it was sold. I'm disappointed that no matter how many times I asked about Janet, my questions were avoided. I took home bunelos and pan de queso. Completely different. I'm sad to see her go, but if it's under new management, the new owner could've been honest with us.

It was so much I took left overs and ate it for two days. I was too full for dessert. The service was decent and the menu had a lot of options. Overall decent meal.

Whether it was the empanadas (no flavor from the crust or filling), tostones (needed salt or garlic salt), and steak (cooked perfectly but needed flavor). I promise you my tastebuds were/are intact. The staff are pleasant but can disappear not out of rudeness but due to demand. Early evening the restaurant is cozy and perfect for family dinning or date night. The bathroom is clean and well lit. If you like loud, go later on in the evening for watching sports matches.

When we went to this restaurant a few weeks ago, it had the name Makondo, not Pantojarse…read more The environment in Makondo was welcoming and warm, with a mural of los cafeteros that immediately lets you know you're in Colombia. There is a take-away area at the front where you can purchase breads, arepas, and other easily portable foods, in addition to the tables and seating area in the back of the restaurant. We opted to dine-in for breakfast and try a variety of plates: calentado, arepa con chicharron, morcilla, and bunuelos. The calentado transported me back to Medellin and, honestly, it kept me full for the entire day. The morchilla, arepas, and chicharrones were cooked to perfection and we were provided with a variety of sauces to add an extra boost of flavor. Absolutely everything was delicious and the prices are incredibly reasonable when compared with the other breakfast restaurants in the area. The service was very friendly and attentive. Most of the clients spoke Spanish, including us, but we did hear them speaking English with a few tables that morning. This restaurant is a little piece of Colombia in White Plains and brings some much needed diversity (and flavor!) to the regular breakfast scene in this city.

Their other items (pandebono, pan de queso, etc.) are also great. We have also ordered empanadas de carne and chicharron to take home and eat. The empanadas were great and flavorful, especially if you put some of the picante salsa on top. The chicharron was good, but it was a bit difficult to chew (the skin, especially, was really hard). Not sure if this would be different if you got it fresh in the restaurant vs. driving it home as take-out. In summary, a great place to get a delicious coffee and a bakery treat!

I spat something out and it was a tiny hard rock. Before I went to wash my mouth I felt sand. As I was looking at my empanada after, I found the other half of the rock I bit into. I then saw my tooth was chipped. I couldn't sleep that night from thinking how disgusting this situation was. I called Noches de Columbia when that happened and they only offered one empanada but my trust for them was lost. The second time I called they said how it was just a rock, basically implying that it was not a big deal. They didn't see why I was upset and didn't apologize. The owner got mad at me for being upset about this situation. Both times I've called they weren't professional and instead rude.
