    Yuca frita, black beans, chicken w/mushroom, rice, salad & guava drink.
    Rebecca B.

    Really good food and unique dining experience. Love that Houston is so diverse with International cuisine options. Dining in felt like I had transported to a restaurant in Colombia, so the ambiance really felt authentic. I sometimes crave yucca frita and plantains, and I believe I found the place for my quick cravings. The portion sizes of the meals will not leave you hungry! I was also able to ask for no sugar in my fresh fruit drink. The restaurant also has a bakery, which includes a variety of individual desserts or cakes for purchase. Outstanding server with quick service as well.

    Came here for lunch with some friends and it was SO GOOD. The cappuccino was creamy and frothy, and I loved that it wasn't sweet. We got some empanadas to start with, which were so crispy and flavorful. For my main dish I shared the La Bandeja Paisa with a friend. The portion was HUGE and the meats were so delicious. I didn't care for the bread it came with, but everything else was amazing, especially the plantains and pork. We also got some pastries at the end, which were all delicious! The service was friendly and quick, and the restaurant was lively with live music! LOVED my experience and will definitely be back!

    Where do I begin! Loved, loved my time here! Came on a Friday night and they had live music but it wasn't too loud or crowded. Server was very nice and accommodating. Such a huge menu! I ended up going with the kids dinner since I was craving rice and beans. The plate was huge! I ended up getting the steak and it also came with a small piece of sweet plantain but there were other options. Food was delicious. My friend had the Sancocho de gallina - wow! I only had a small taste but I already know I'm coming back to get that soup. I think it was the cilantro and yucca that had me! I also tried the coconut lemonade which was really good! It had coconut shavings and just the right amount of sweetness. I will be back!

    We were on this side of town looking for Colombian food and happened to find it through maps I want to say. It's really big inside. They have a bakery connected to the restaurant! This place surprisingly even has a bar, the few Colombian places we've been to don't ever have bars so that was nice. The service was good and the food came out within a good time period after ordering. It is 5pm when we came so there was about 5 tables in when we were here. The menu is huge and they have a lot to choose from! Make sure to stop by and try them out. I'd give the food an 8.5 out of 10!!! Also the restrooms and the restaurant it self seemed pretty clean!

    One of the better spots in Houston for Brazilian typical food. They have a bakery at the front of the restaurant that we also love! A little bit on the pricier side compared to the restaurant. Service could be a little better but the food is definitely worth it. Nonetheless, this restaurant is a solid 4.5/5 for us. We will definitely be returning and trying different dishes on the menu. Favorite dish: Appetizer empanadas de carne mechada. Absolutely delish!

    We visited Mi Pueblito on May 28, 2025. I started with a Mojito, but the mint leaves were rotten. We proceeded to order the main dishes. To make a long story short, everything was overcooked: the steak, the fish, and the Cazuela de mariscos. The patacones were so hard and dried. Overall, I used to enjoy this restaurant, but my recent experience has left me disappointed, and I'm not planning to return or recommend it.

    Usually the food is superb, hot, and on point. Today the food was mediocre. Their famous empanadas were lukewarm and the chicharron of Bandeja Paisa is usually crispy but today was stale and chewy. The service is always superb! We love coming here and would still eat here, but hopefully next time the food is hot and fresh. :)

    I've been coming to this restaurant for over 20 years and it never disappoints! I no longer live in Houston but try to stop by when in town! This was one of the better experiences! Arepa was buttery and delicious! Empanadas were beef, tasty. The milanesa was cooked perfectly. The servers are always attentive and everyone makes sure you're taken care of. Live musician on Saturday walking around to tables is a nice treat for Saturday lunch! You MUST try this place!!

    I organized a group outing to Mi Pueblito. They had always given us separate checks. I admit. We were a bunch of folks, maybe 18. I was surprised when they told me only four checks per table. So we ordered by groups. The 20 percent tip was included. I understand giving separate checks can be a hassle but they've done it before. They carry a tiny machine where you can easily pay individually. The shrimps in the shrimp cocktail are tiny ones. They're served on top of an avocado with a pink sauce and served with crackers. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their food. My passion fruit drink was good; however $4.50 is pricey. The drink is made from a small frozen bag of pulp which you can purchase in a package. It shouldn't be more than $3.50. Unfortunately I won't be taking my Internations group there any longer. Paying individually isn't allowed any more.

    We visit the Houston area at least once a year just to eat here for about 9 years. Now that should say it all about their food and high quality service. We love the food that we take friends and family.

Both were seasoned very well, but my friend's Peruvian ceviche was definitely the headlining item for her. It was actually her first time having ceviche with fish, and I think it was a pretty good introduction. We also got a very generous portion, which I always appreciate when trying something new that I end to enjoying. All in all, we really enjoyed the ceviche and would definitely return to Andes Café to try some of the other items on the menu. But for sure, the ceviche will be making a repeat appearance on our next visit.

It fills the space in the best way possible and immediately pulls you in for the full experience. One thing that really stood out to me was the customer service. The staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming, which, unfortunately, hasn't always been my experience at other Colombian restaurants. Many places I've visited primarily speak Spanish, which can sometimes make ordering a challenge. Here, I felt completely at ease and well taken care of. We started with the beef empanadas, and I highly recommend them. The crust was perfectly crispy, while the filling was soft, flavorful, and comforting. Paired with their salsa, which had just the right kick of spice, it was an excellent combination that made for a strong start to the meal. I ordered my go-to favorite, the Bandejita. The presentation was beautiful and appetizing, but sadly, the bold flavors I'm used to just weren't quite there for me. The flat steak tasted under-seasoned, and I actually found myself adding salt, which I've never had to do before at other restaurants. The pork sausage also seemed a bit dry inside, but my husband said that's how it should be, so perhaps that was just my preference. The beans had a different flavor than what I'm accustomed to as well, not bad by any means, just noticeably different. On a positive note, the pork belly was perfectly crispy, exactly how it should be, and the plantains were sweet and cooked to perfection. Overall, the menu looks incredibly tempting, and there are still plenty of dishes I'd love to come back and try. While I may skip the Bandejita next time, I definitely plan on returning to explore more of what they have to offer.

Specializing in Colombian comfort food, this truck reminds me of the late night Colombian joints that were open in the northern part of Queens (#2). The truck is perma-fixed in this space. They have a whole set of tables for large groups and includes a dedicated covered area. Parking can get tricky if there are enough people visiting, but I'd recommend the next lot over where there is no night time monitoring. The menu is incredibly simple and just know that prices are not listed (#3) . The choices are basically a beef / chicken / chorizo burger, along with the occasional hot dog and a number of smoothies and drinks. I think their beef burger (patty de res) and the chorizo (patty de chorizo) are the best I've had so far. It will cost at least $15 for the sandwich and fries are not included. It sounds expensive but at the very least the burger will come loaded. It'll be a messy, delicious encounter. Pair it with their maracuyá (passion fruit) juice and it'll be a wonderful meal. The man running the truck is one of the nicest owners I've met. He's patient, courteous, and takes the time to interact with everyone who comes through. I can't attest to their English skills, but I wouldn't hesitate for a second in recommending this place for some quality late night food. _________ (#1) Yes, the address says Houston. But let's get real, this is Katy. (#2) The most delicious borough. No big deal. (#3) I've seen this in Houston more than anywhere else. Why?
