Yum!! The empanandas are amazing!!! First time here and will definitely be back!! The ham pineapple empananda is spectacular.

Been here twice and it is an awesome place. Never have I ordered dessert and coffee when out by myself but I couldn't resist. Among other things, I got the lunch special for $11 which was a big bowl of seafood chowder, a nice portion of delicious roast chicken, beans, rice, and salad! read more

Fantastic food and service. Don't forget to try their Empanadas. Some of the best Empanadas I have had in a long time. Would definitely go back for more !! read more

The Bandeja hit the spot. I love places that serve dishes where you can get everything. Let's talk about the stars of the dish: The columbian bacon, chorizo, steak were all delicious. Loved the thick bacon especially. The supporting cast was great too. The fried egg, avocado, green plantains, rice & beans were all great compliments. If i'm ever back in the area, i'm for sure coming back and trying some of the different dishes. read more

I've been there four times in past three weeks. I have an official addiction. The only downside, is they run out of my favorite Empanada sometimes. But it has forced me to try new things and everything has always been extremely fresh and delicious. read more

Went tonight this place is fantastic! The service is excellent and the owner, Juan, is very friendly. I had the "crazy green plantain" with shrimp which was massive. My sister had the fried tilapia which was fresh and incredibly delicious. The sweet plantain was so good that I'm going to try and pick some up on my way to Chicago tomorrow. I highly recommend Mi Pais! read more

Mi Pais is great! Excellent food, outstanding service, great prices. It doesn't get better than this :) Try the Colombian and Argentinian empandas, they are delicious. The arepas with chicken, cheese and avocado are to die for! And my ultimate favorite dish is 'Cazuelita Mi Pais' which has a great combo of flavors in a perfect-smaller size for those like me who like to watch what we eat but who love great flavors. I have been there so many times with many different people and every time has been a success! read more

OMG. Do not waste your money!! My husband and I ordered take-out. Got home and saw that I was given a steak dish, rather than the chicken dish I ordered. The steak was so tough, I could barely cut it with a knife. Rice and beans were tasteless. The Carne Frita was as tough as leather. The chicken empanada was dry and NOT freshly made. NEVER AGAIN. read more

This is the best Colombian food place in the area **. This is authentic homemade food, not A cross over with Asian, French, or American food. This is what you eat at your grandmother's in Colombia if granny knew how to cook really well. **Other great places are Tierra Colombiana and Mixto but these are in Philly read more

The food was fresh and delicious! The atmosphere and waiter were friendly and inviting, and the menu provides very accurate descriptions. If you're not sure what to order, tell the waiter what you like (meat, spicy, fried, etc.) and he will make recommendations. Happy to have this little hidden gem in the area! read more

Worst Empanadas ever, they had no flavor and had barely any meat!!! Bought them for my friends birthday party and ended up throwing more than half away because nobody wanted them. My friends trusted my judgement to bring good food. Since I am of Central American decent, they probably trusted my judgement. Well, everyone was very disappointed in me, and I felt like a huge failure! But it was you who failed to make decent empanadas! It was soooo awkward looking around the room to see all my friends frowning and not enjoying their food. I've made better empanadas and I'm no cook. Still feel disgusted to this day when I think about those empanadas, you're been warned. read more

I would recommand anyone that wants to try Columbian food to check this place out. The sitdown is pretty causal and service is great. It will get pretty busy by lunch time so come by 12:00pm. They just started a new corporate lunch special which is a side of soup/meal for 9.99. read more

The food is ok but not great. A little expensive for what they offer sometimes. Customers service is good, so it helps me going back to them. read more

I am lucky to have this restaurant so near me. I got the chicken soup and two of each of all the empanadas. And extra green sauce (the mild sauce???). To my delight they now sell the sauce in a jar, which I promptly purchased. I put that sauce on everything. Soup was delicious as always and the empanadas were great. This place never disappoints me. read more

If you really want to try Colombian food, this is the place to go! As soon as you open the doors of this place, you feel a real Colombian ambiance, attended by great staff! You must try: Everything! read more

Very good authentic Colombian food. Helpful staff to explain the various dishes.

OMG. I need to reference yelp more often. All these reviews are great representation of what you get. Sure, everyone has an off day, but when a vast majority of the reviews are top notch, I think it's a safe bet. The flavors and variety at Mi Pais are fantastic. I plan on overeating here many more times. The employees are wonderful and the atmosphere is perfectly fine. I wish it was closer to my work. read more

It's about the food! Come for the food and enjoy the friendly service. I read good things about Mi Pais and was not disappointed. Since I wanted to try a variety, I had the "Bandeja Mi País", a version of a traditional Columbian platter which has rice, red beans, egg, grilled steak, chorizo, Colombian bacon and plantains. It's a lot of food, and I took half home. The chorizo was great and the Colombian bacon is to die for (it would probably actually kill you to eat it every day, but You would die happy). Will be back many times. Noticed many apparent regulars coming just for empanadas, so there must be something good there. read more

Food and service were amazing....best empanadas I have ever had!!! Will be back for sure!!!!

Extremely friendly staff, huge portions of delicious Latin American food, and great prices. What more can you ask for? I recommend getting the bandeja de mi pais, you will not regret it. read more

Had lunch here today and it was great so step out of the box and enjoy something different.Nice people ,good service and tasty food.

Food here is incredible here. The portions are huge too! I cannot finish the whole plate on my own. I would have to be triple my size to finish that thing.. Which is weird that they charged me for sharing food.. I think I got charged $4 for sharing a dish with my friend. The funny thing is that I ordered a bunch of soups and sides along with my entree, yet I was still charged for sharing my entree. I should've just gotten it to go. read more

Exceptional service and flavor. A big menu of delights. Two words: Empanadas + Bacon.

I come here once a week. The food is the best home made Colombian I have ever seen. Equally important is the service. The family that owns this place is really awesome and were helpful and welcoming from day one. One of the better restaurants in the area! read more

Wife and I have been going there for a couple of years. It's our go-to restaurant when we absolutely positively have to have a good meal. They make a chicken stew only on Sunday. You're going to have to try it to believe it. Owned and operated by a super nice family.Enjoy. Lenny&Gabrielle read more

Wow. There chicken blew me away. The empanotas so good. Best beans ever. Very friendly staff. Go here.

Went to Mi País for the first time yesterday. I used to live in Colombia and know what good Paisa (the region of Colombia where the owners are from, the states of Antioquia and Caldas) food is and Mi País nails it spot-on. The hospitality is wonderful and your hosts are so gracious. The arepa is almost a Venezuelan style, split in two and stuffed - delicious. The "frijoles" are homemade and made with plantains - with a splash of pique hot sauce, Avé María Pues! We also had the "chicharron" (slice deep fried pork skin" de "12 patas". Delicious actually smoked before cooking, very unique. I hadn't even had that before in the "estadero" restaurants in the Rio Negro Valle of Antioquia. For a beverage, a 12 OZ "Colombiana" soda imported from Colombia. No tinto (coffee) this time but I could smell it. Summary - if you want to explore Colombian food, go straight to Mi Pais. There are options in the Philly area, but this is the read deal. The place isn't fancy, but it's authentic and easy to get to in and out, something hard to find in SE Pennsylvania.

We stopped in for empanadas for take out and were surprised you could eat in. So we did. The empanadas were great. The beef and Argentinian were good. The cheese one was ok. I had the chicken soup which was the Monday special. It was wonderful. It had potatoes and pasta and lots of chicken. We then had the shrimp and plantain appetizer. The flank steak was very tender. Rice too of course. And we split the tres leches cake. Everything was good. They have two big TVs to watch while you eat Owners are very friendly. And there is a small grocery to get Argentinian foodstuff. read more

There are a few tables inside of this Colombian market and they serve incredible food!

The exceptional service makes this place a 5. The food is consistently delicious, and it has a cool atmosphere. Make sure to try an Empanada! read more

So yummy! Start with the Argentine empanadas. Everything was fresh and delicious. Not spicy but there were a few different sauces that ranged in heat. We would eat here again. read more

Best food around here! Just love the fried Yuca and the service is always friendly and awesome!!! They know you by name!

Excellent food. It was the first time I had colombian food and it was outstanding. The dish I tasted had steak, fried egg, beans, chorizo sausage, fried plantains, and this big piece of pork that as essentially the biggest piece of bacon I've ever seen. It was all very good. I also tried some of the empanadas - my favorite was the hawaiian. read more

Came because of the reviews and we're not disappointed. The service was friendly and fast. The empanadas were delicious and home made. I had the tamarind juice and Matt had the mango with milk-both a must have. read more

Lovely and authentic food. Excellent service. It's also BYOB. Would recommend the Argentinian empanada and the coconut homemade ice cream.

If you love South American food, especially Colombian, you will love this place. Great staff, friendly atmosphere and absolutely delicious food! read more

All Empanadas are great! Make sure you trying the different sauces they provide. The staff here is phenomenal! It must be a a South American thing, but the friendliness is beyond what you get at most places and it actually feels genuine here. I love coming to Mi Pais when I'm in the area. read more

The minute I took the first bite of my sweet plantain I was taken back to my childhood and I was back in my home town where this food was available everywhere you looked not so much in my area now so I say with the utmost certainty that you must try this place it is absolutely breathtaking and they make you feel like family hence the name mi pais my home. read more
