I just want to say this is probably the best tasting and best value for your money for Colombian food! I am from New York, and was just in Scranton to drop off a family member so I needed a real meal before taking the 2.5 hr drive back to NY. I searched on Yelp, naturally I only visit places w good ratings and this one really impressed me and my mom. We usually pay $60 for what we got for $26! The lunch special was such a great deal, you get to pick your protein and your side (sorry I am used to places that call it this way) and you also get to pick where you sit. So yes it is restaurant style but no, you do not have to wait for service or anything. We brought our own drinks and parked directly in front. I don't anticipate coming back to this town but if I ever do again, I will definitely stop by again! P.S. yes! they have to-go containers that you can ask for in case you can't finish everything that was served! read more

Everything here was awesome. So friendly and professional, and clean inside. Food is delicious, top yo bottom. Wish it was not so cold inside. read more

I agree with other reviewers: a gem of a find! We were staying less than 2 miles away, did not want chain restaurant food, and this place sounded so delicious. Unfortunately, we don't speak any Spanish, and most of the workers don't speak any English, so ordering was a bit complicated, but we managed. One order of grilled pork loin (thin sliced, well seasoned) with a generous "small" side salad, and one order of the beef steak with rice, both eaten to the last morsel. We also purchased 2 bakery items, don't know what they were, but they were inexpensive, moist and interesting. One had a bit of apple filling; we don't know what the filling was in the other item; it looked like jam, but it wasn't that sweet. With all the workers and all of the other customers speaking Spanish, we figure we hit an authentic spot. Our order was for take out. read more

I was in the mood for spanish food and came across this restaurant. I called in my meal of the homestyle marinated red snapper. When I arrived I parked in the plaza lot. I walked in and was greeted. My food was ready and I paid and left. When I dug in, the snapper was huge! It was very good and flavored so well! I really enjoyed my meal! read more

The food is always so good and everyone there is so kind. The vibes are always amazing.

Pretty good. Ordered the first combo on the beef page of the menu. Came with a steak, pork belly, sausage, plantains, a crispy fried dough, avocado, and rice. The steak was a bit over cooked and bland. The pork belly was super tasty but the skin was really tough, inedible in areas. The sausage was great as was the rest of the accompaniments. I got an obscene amount of food for $14, huge portions. Kind of a hole in the wall spot read more

The empanadas were excellent, and the service was top notch. I would highly recommend this little hole in the wall.

My favorite place to go in Scranton for Spanish food!! The service is always super friendly and they take the time to explain what everything is if you aren't sure. They also keep some food in the back if there isn't enough room in their hot case, so make sure you ask if you don't see something you are looking for! Best beef stew I've had. Also love their baked chicken, peas and rice and yucca. HUGE portion sizes and reasonable prices. When I asked how fresh their chiccharones were that they had in the case, they said they would be happy to make some fresh for me. Really awesome service here. They also have some delicious looking baked goods and juices here. You can sit and dine in (small dining area...about 7 tables?) or take out. Keep up the good work Mi Ranchito!! read more

No one in the store was wearing their masks safely and the food was bland. Not to mention some horrible customer service by the people working there-- they shout at customers over the very food they're serving with their masks down. Not a very comfortable environment. The rice was not cooked right and the beans were all mashed up at the bottom of a thick broth of god knows what. The only thing I liked was my drink and I can get a better one literally anywhere else. I got 2 small meals and somehow it ended up being over $30 and the fries were so soggy they're inedible and the mofongo is nauseating. Not to mention the chip in my tooth from biting into a bone as I was eating one of their empanadas. Maybe their baked goods are ok but Im never stepping foot in there again. read more

Exelent food . several times in a week you will have to come back , never get tired , highly recommended the paisa tray !!

I never get tired of this place. Authentic Colombian food. The owners are super nice and everyone makes you feel welcome. The portions are huge and the prices are super low. I honestly believe their prices should be a bit higher because of the quality of the food. Seriously the best Colombian place you will find in Scranton. My family and I eat here sometimes 2 times a week. Give it a try! You will not regret it! I wish I could give them 10 ! read more

Great Colombian food! Staff and owner super nice. Food and bakery are fresh and the prices are fantastic!! The portions are huge and the variety is unbelievable! It is a MUST to try! read more

After tasting my friends hot sauce/ salsa & smelling his lunch, I just had to try this place. So glad I did. A wonderful girl greeted me & explained the daily special which is an amazing bargain. For 7.95 with tax I got 4 meals in the one. You get a choice of protein, choice of rice, choice of vegetable, choice of delicious chicken soup or amazing beans and a can of soda. This bag weighs several pounds. If you're not afraid of habaneros, get the homemade hot sauce salsa piece of heaven. Warning this is spicy and Colombians love using cilantro as do I. If you don't like it, might not be your jam. I got the baked chicken, yellow rice, yucca & chicken soup with extra hot sauce. You MUST eat here. read more

First time there today! Staff was awesome, food was even better, and the bill was obscenely low! They got me...I'm going back (like maybe even later today)! read more

This was a great little find by my co-worker. The baked goods are terrific. So inexpensive.

I drove from Philly to this place because of the good reviews, and I wanted authentic Colombian food. Well, I was very disappointed. The empanadas were too crispy and almost hard, and the Bandeja Paisa was a complete disaster, the egg was supposed to be runny and it was STIFF. The chicharron could break your molars trying to chew it, the only good thing on this plate was the rice and a tiny slice of avocado, because even the red beans tasted wrong, trust me, I'm Colombian and I know this plate very well. Even the Bunuelos are shaped wrong, I would not recommend this place to ANY TRUE COLOMBIAN, what a total waste of $80 dollars, time, and gas. Next time I will commute to my regular Colombian REAL Resturant in Queens, New York City. read more

This place is phenomenal. I regularly go here with co-workers for lunch. We often remark that the food seems like home cooking. Also: Try their homemade hot sauce. I wish they sold it by the bottle. read more

Really good food awesome rice and beans and the baked chicken was great, sandwiches are amazing too! Also they have friendly service!!! Plus the desserts are amazinnnggggggg :) i would definitely come back when I'm in PA again read more

Still coming back and I love it. I think they might have simplified the lunch specials but I still enjoy it a lot. If I recall, Tuesdays are a little bit cheaper for the lunch special so you have nothing to lose. I stopped by on the weekend and it is getting busier and crowded so you know word is spreading! I still think this is a gem in Scranton, PA. read more

Both times I went the food was cold.My parents food was also luke warm/cold

They just need better service . But the food is good , place is cleaned !! Many options .

My initial impression of this eatery is how stunning clean it is. Beautifully decorated and the staff are well dressed and very friendly. I have eaten wonderful traditional foods in Bogota. Colombian dishes are bright, versatile and full of flavor. I tried their lunch special for takeout. Unfortunately, their best seller, roasted chicken quarter, was so dry it sucked the saliva out of my mouth and I started choking. I think it sat under a heat lamp too long. It had zero flavor. Along with my lunch came cilantro rice. It too was very dry. The cilantro flavor was barely noticeable although the rice was very green. The plantain was excellent and the beans were seasoned to perfection I am not sure but, I wonder if the seasonings were dumbed down to better suit the palette of the local population. Traditional food ...YES. Flavor-able...NO Will I try this place again? Yes! I know they can do better read more
