Food good, service good. Regular dining, not fancy, but good. Servers good. However, they need to look up CT law. No extra charge for using a Credit Card in CT. It's against the law. Can not have a surcharge. They may only offer a discount if people pay cash, but cannot charge a convenience fee in CT. The OWNER needs to look up the CT Laws. Several States have the same law against charging an extra fee for CC use by patrons. https://ebizcharge.com/blog/restaurant-credit-card-surcharges-legalities-best-practices/#:~:text=Some%20states%20have%20restrictions%20or%20bans%20on,*%20Reducing%20friction%20*%20Monitoring%20customer%20feedback read more

Delicious and affordable Colombian food. You seriously get so much delicious food for your money, and with different flavors than any other restaurant in the area. I love stopping in for their Colombian Combination, but everything I've tried is delicious. I have only ordered take-out so I can't speak to their dining service, but their food is always made quick and is ready when I arrive. It's the only Colombian place in the area, and a nice change of pace from the many many Guatemalan/Peruvian restaurants in Stamford. read more

This spot was fantastic for some good ole Colombian breakfast that my boyfriend and I woke up craving. When you first walk in, you'll notice the front counter selling baked goodies like empanadas and churros. The place was packed with neighborhood families, but there was one table open that we were able to snag right away. Breakfast is served until 12 noon and even though we arrived around 12:30, they allowed us to order from the breakfast menu anyways. Perfect. My boyfriend went with the steak & eggs plate and I went with the cut up chicharones dish. Both were served with cheesy arepas and coffee (which was promptly refilled whenever our mugs got low). The servers speak mostly Spanish with some English mixed in, but service is friendly and attentive nonetheless. That's when you know it's real. The prices are super reasonable! We were stuffed and had leftovers to take home from spending only a little over $20 bucks. I'll definitely be back to try other dishes not only for breakfast, but lunch and dinner too! read more

This was the worst piece of meat I have ever had, I ordered the most expensive meal on their menu, I was throwing up for a half hour, I got food poisoning. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE!!! STICK TO MEXICAN FOOD!!! WAY BETTER QUALITY AND PRICE!!! Este fue el peor trozo de carne que he probado en mi vida, pedí la comida más cara de su menú, estuve vomitando durante media hora y sufrí una intoxicación alimentaria. NO RECOMIENDO ESTE LUGAR A NADIE!!! ¡¡¡LA COMIDA MEXICANA ES LA MEJOR!!! MUCHO MEJOR CALIDAD Y PRECIO!!! read more

MI Terruno - Sopa de día Sancocho de Gallina - Spanish Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

La calidad de la comida y el servicio solía ser aceptable hace años, pero claramente las cosas han cambiado drásticamente. Decidí darles una última oportunidad y fuimos con mi familia, con la intención de pasar un rato ameno y compartir buena comida, sin embargo nos hemos llevado una decepción tenaz con el servicio mediocre y la pobre calidad de la comida; con decir que no se si la carne de las bandejas paisas era Res o no... simplemente sabía espantoso y tenía la textura como una suela de zapato. Todo rebosaba en aceite saturado, sin sabor, como cocinado al apuro. Y como si todo eso no fuera suficiente, en la cuenta nos cargaron 18usd por "servicio"... si jamás nos preguntaron siquiera durante la comida si acaso necesitábamos algo, el "servicio" recibido fue que nos tomaran la orden y nada más. También en la cuenta nos cobraron por "aguas de botella", cuando el agua que nos sirvieron fue en vasos, con tufo a húmedo y hielos. Una auténtica estafa!!! read more

I've coming to restaurant for years and my last visit was very disappointed. WHATCH OUT for the discrepancy in prices. I've read a lot of bad reviews about this. Menu prices are different than when you pay absolutely wrong to this to customers who come to spend money at this place. He venido a este restaurante por años y acabo de regresar y no pienso volver. Te COBRAN precios diferentes y no te dan explicaciones y ni se disculpan. Ojo cuando vayan chequeen los precios y los impuestos que este restaurante cobr read more

Everything was EXTREMELY hard and stale. Threw the entire thing in the garbage and got my refund from Uber. The arepa was hard as a rock with cheese melted on top. It's 11am... why is it not fresh? The rib had a funny smell and was clearly not fresh either. I don't care because I got my money back but I would never order from this place again. Gross. Addidtion: empanada tasted like dish soap and was full of some dog food smelling mush supposedly "beef" NEVERRRRR AGAIN read more

I can't believe a place like this is still in business. My wife and I had the worst meal in years. My stomach hurts, we couldn't finish the food, it was DISGUSTING. Service is bad (and they charge for it the price of the most expensive dish). The place is dirty and smelly. I hope they go out of business for good. read more

Ordenamos el almuerzo de fin de año y fue lo más HORRIBLE que comimos NUNCA recomendaría a nadie, el lomo saltado era diferente y las bandejas paisa la carne más dura q una roca el aguacate Podrido, el arroz soposo y los frijoles ni se diga, read more

I asked for a mondongo and it was terrible. It didn't taste anything like it was supposed to. I asked for an avocado but they told me they could not add one because they had run out. It turns out they only "ran out" for that one dish but served avocado in a different dish that we ordered. They explained that it was because they had run out of avocado only for the mondongo which doesn't make sense. I will not go back and do not recommend this place. We asked for buñuelos and when they brought it, it was cold and not that great. We had to ask them to reheat it. The arepa we were served tasted like it was a week old. Do Not Recommend. read more

Fui con un cliente a comer lunch y fue terrible, nos sentamos en una mesa no estaba limpia y en vez de la mesera limpiarla nos puso en otra mesa. La comida no estaba buena, ya no es como antes. Mi cliente fue al baño y me explico que estaba sucio. Yo he estado aqui muchas veces por muchos años y recuerdo que el servicio siempre se tardaba pero la comida era deliciosa pero ya no. A mi cliente no le gusto y no regresaremos. read more

Foods always good and the servings are huge. The bendeja paisa (sp?) Is huge. White rice, beans, fried pork rind, avocado, a good size steak, and more for a decent price. 10-15$ I think but its well worth the price. I had the soup of the day, tripe. Its different from the Mexican one with a yellowish broth potatoes and instead of tortillas you get a side of rice and beans or a salad, huge bowl for 9$. Place is normally busy and it takes a bit to get your food but the wait is worth it. I love coming here! read more

Estoy escribiendo esto en español para que alguien lo lea espero que la dueña de este restaurante yo he trabajado de mesera en New York 5 años y jamás he tenido una experiencia tan horrible como la de este restaurante la mesera si así se puede llamar tan desatenta ruda apenas habla y aparte de eso me cobraron 10 dólares de propina sin mi consentimiento al hacer una orden de pick up mi comida enfermo a mi mamá casi la tuvimos que llevar al hospital yo creo que por que estaba vieja lo que más me molesta es que lo que hicieron es considerado robo y aunque sean 10 dólares si yo no los di no tenían por que cobrarlos que pena y que asco de gente esa ojalá la dueña sepa que clase de gente tiene trabajando ahí y haga algo read more

This place has really changed for the worse. Not sure if there have been a change in management but quality of food is not the same, I had to send back my chocolate because it was cold. The service was terrible, I felt like I was inconveniencing the waitress with my order. The wrong plates were delivered to the table multiple times. I wished I had chosen the other Colombian restaurant located downtown instead. read more

Love their food. Best Colombian food. I'm glad we found this place for our date night . The staff is very helpful and friendly. read more

My first time ordering a Bandeja Paisa dish in Stamford. I've typically always gone to Port Chester for good Colombian food. Mi Terruno was delicious! Great to know there's a tasty Colombian option right in the city that works. I'll be back! =) read more

Long menu plenty of options. I have ordered delivery a few times the flavors and quantity of food has been excellent. My favorite appetizer is the guacamole arepas. I am a big eater but can only eat one guacamole arepa, They are BIG. read more

Sort of a hole-in-the-wall that you drive without thinking of stopping. The menu has lots of options and inside is much nicer than you would expect. I opted for the $11 Lomo Saltado (it seems most of the menu is a fusion of traditional Latin and South American foods). The flavor was great and it was served with beans and perfectly cooked white rice. I wish the meat was trimmed better - too many pieces that I just couldn't eat. My water was never refilled, but service was otherwise fine. They have a little bakery and I'll be back to try those items! Work on the service and quality of meat and this could be 5 stars. read more

I ordered take out, Lomo Salgado dish and salad. They packed both into one tray. The salad was soggy and brown, mangled together with the rest of the dish. The flavor of the beef and the rest of the dish was just ok. The beef is chewy. Super disappointed. It didn't seem like there was any thought of care to this meal. read more

I've lived in Stamford for almost 5 years and never knew about this place until last night. The empanadas are delicious and the fried chicken pies are a must (dipped in hot sauce). I also ordered the Columbian Combination plate but they decided to give me a potato empanada instead of beef (total let down because beef is so good!) I also ordered the churros; they were good but just cold. I would go here again...I just wish they delivered because I felt a ton of eyes on me as I was speaking English :/ read more

Great food, great price, big portions, great staff. I should have taken a picture, but I couldn't wait to dig in. Amazing picada, can't wait to eat more read more

12/09/15 One of the worst places i have visited. The service is mediocre at best. The food was horible; steak was cold, rice just as cold, and they even managed to give me a dirty fork and knife yet the worst part; its got foreign objects in the food. This is the second time i have gotten an object in my food. 1st time a blue ruber band that was in side my enpanada. 2nd time a big rock was mixed in with the beans. Both times i have been expected to pay full price for the meal. If you can, ignore this place if your in the area, but if you must and you suffer from an iron deficiency best of luck to you. ---john read more

Went to this place for the first time. They charged $25 for a churrasco (skirt steak ) which normally would be fine if that was the actual meat I received. I got home 20 mins after picking up the meat only to find out that I was given an overcooked , chewy, and incorrect piece of meat. I specifically requested Medium and it was one of the driest meats I've ever eaten.The price includes rice, beans and plantains. I did not receive the plantains/tostones or the side of the chimichurri sauce. I called back and they said to call back the next day since the owner was not there. The next day I called back and the owner was so rude . I bought two platters, the owner argued with me that he was certain that I received the churrasco even though he was not even there so he was calling me a liar from the beginning of the conversation. I told him I paid $50 for meat that was not what was promised , he interrupted and spoke over saying that if I didn't like the prices to go elsewhere. First of all I did not complain of the price for the churrasco , I complained for the price of the lesser quality meat that I received. He added "I can't believe you're actually complaining at a time like this", I am sorry but COVID or no COVID a business owner should not be so combative with a first time client that spent $80 at their restaurant. I asked for a number to send the pictures of what I am positive is NOT skirt steak , I sent them to him to which he replied , "yes that's churrasco ma'am and the good kind". I have attached the pictures below, anyone could easily see that this meat is NOT good quality Skirt steak ... it was sad that place was so highly recommended and I will never return simply due to the customer service offered by the owner. read more

The food here is good and reasonably priced. The menu is extensive and offers different cuts of meat, sides, empanadas, appetizers, desserts, beer, and wine. It's very good Colombian food served in large portions. The server we had was in a bad mood and displayed no sense of enjoyment for her job, but still got our order correct and on time. read more

Yesterday i went there for the first time, the food was ok, the service more or less! And today i came again but the waitress don't even welcome you and take you gently to the table, they are talking and eating and i just asked like i want a table for one person and their answer is " go and sit where ever you want" lol that's ridiculous what kind of service is this? And i just walked out, I'm never coming back!!! read more

Great food and staff was courteous & attentive. Didn't have to wait at all for a table even though it was lunchtime rush. Although this is a Colombian restaurant, I went with a Peruvian famous dish, pollo saltado-- soo good! They also have a counter for quick bites, traditional Colombian goodies. I didn't try anything from there but everything looked great and I appreciated the option in case I'm ever in a hurry. Will definitely be back! read more

Used to be very good but it's not the same anymore. Still is a good place to have a bug meal for a convenience price. Bandeja Paisa is their signature dish, make sure you are VERY hungry before ordering one :D read more

VERY GOOD ! Unbeliavably good Colombian food, I highly recommend this restaurant, great value, nice atmosphere and friendly service

Great food, but service takes too long. Been over 15 mins that we were done with our food and the waitress who was taking our table including others are chatting and eating in the back. read more

I hate this place. The food is not fresh. Rice is hard, beans is cold, steak is cold and hard. Bakery items are not fresh and taste stale. workers are rude, they dont greet you or take you to get seated. everything is just horrible. Service is bad. Plates and utensils are dirty. if i could i wouls give them 0 stars. read more

There are many good things about this restaurant unfortunately it's not what it used to be the quality isn't as good anymore, the bakery items aren't fresh, some of the food items aren't as fresh or good anymore at least compare to how it once was. Service is great and some dishes haven't lost their touch however they need to fix their menu on Uber eats I order a chicharrón and I was sent a pastry even though in the description it says that it is fried pork. read more

Had dinner for the second time last night. This is a good place for Columbian food, with lots of bang for your buck! Go for the food and not the service or the ambiance. I had the Lengua (tongue) and my friend had the Chicken Breast. Both dishes were delicious! The tongue was braised and so tender with a delicious light sauce, rice and casava. My friend's chicken was flavorful and came with rice, beans, chichiarron and sweet plantain. We ordered a side of tostones and they were fantastic! The restaurant was clean and the waitresses were pleasant. My only constructive criticism would be the lighting. Way too bright. But it's so worth it for the food. read more

Five stars for the best beans I have ever eaten in my life. Don't suggest the yucca and they aren't very accommodating for English only speaking customers but hands down best beans I have ever had!!! read more

The food is good and the prices were reasonable. Good sized portions and the service was good. I went awhile back.

The food was just okay, but the service was great! The restaurant was empty when we went there. So the waitress was always there making sure everything's fine. The utensils weren't the cleanest and I found an eyelash in my salad. I don't think I'll be returning to this place mostly because I'd prefer Peruvian food. read more

Most authentic Colombian food in all of Stamford- it must be because all the cooks are Colombian! If you can, get a chance to meet the owner; he is the man! read more
