Egg was a bit overdone & arepa was decent though somewhat crispy  Beans were decent. Plantain was so-so (not crispy or sweet). Pork tenderloin was pretty tasty but tough & dry especially for a tenderloin. Rice was decent, with a slight flavour, but a bit mushy. Plantain was crispy. The restaurant interior was decorated quite nicely but was very warm (in summer) & service was disorganised & some servers didn't speak English well so communication was sometimes difficult. I asked if the pork tenderloin had a sauce; they said no but it came with a tomato & peppers sauce. They also billed me wrongly.

Incredibly delicious food, authentically Colombian, big portions, and amazing value for money. The…read moreseafood dishes are filled with various different kinds of high-quality seafood to the brim (more protein than rice). All the staff are so friendly - from the waitstaff to the chefs / owners and kitchen staff, everyone in the restaurant seems to exhibit the Latin American hospitality and friendliness. The place feels homey, cozy, and festive with the music in the background (from the TV screen on the wall), and big photos depicting different places in Colombia along the wall. Ambience is very laid-back and casual, with amazing food that tastes homemade and authentic. It took a while for the food to cook and come out (about 40 minutes) - mostly because of the Cazuela de Mariscos (seafood soup) that took the longest to cook. It was also during a very busy time on a weekend. They seemed to have a constant flow of incoming catering and take-out orders (a good sign), and the restaurant itself was packed. All / most mains come with coconut rice, salad, and tostones (fried plantains). As for drinks, you can order freshly squeezed juices in either water or milk. We ordered the fresh strawberry & blackberry juice in water, as the one in milk would make it more like a smoothie. Each juice order comes in a jug (whether it be a small or large jug). This came as a surprise to us - really good value for such a large volume of juice ($6 for a whole "small" jug that turned out to be quite big, enough to refill each glass a few times for 2 people). The juice itself tasted fresh, natural, and refreshing. Dishes that we tried: 1) Filete de Tilapia con Camarones (grilled tilapia fish fillet & shrimps with coconut rice, plantain, and salad) - Big pieces of fish and lots of small shrimps, in a very delectable sauce. 2) Arroz Marinero (seafood rice with plantain & salad) - Loved this dish. The rice was a bit soupy which I liked. It was a bit like a soupy paella (including the rice) - very delicious and packed with various kinds of seafood. 3) Cazuela de Mariscos (seafood soup with coconut rice, plantain, and salad) - Very creamy soup, like a chowder. I'm not a big fan of chowders / cream-based soups in general, but others liked it and said this was good. 4) SIDE: Ensalada (House Salad) 5) Arepa de Chocolo con Queso (sweet corn dough with cheese) All of the main dishes were EXCELLENT - loved the mixed seafood (fish fillet, shrimps, octopus, squid, etc.). There was so much seafood in every dish. In most places, you get more carbs / rice compared to the protein. Here, it was the opposite. The coconut rice was a bit dry but it's decent - good to soak up the sauces of the main dishes. The salad is just shredded cabbage and carrot with big sliced tomato. I was a big fan of the salad dressing (some creamy mayo-like dressing), but luckily the dressing was only at the top of the salad (the bottom part of the salad remained fresh and crunchy, which I liked). We ordered the Arepa de Chocolo con Queso for to go. It was different than the Venezuelan arepa that I'm used to. The Colombian arepa seemed to be sweeter and more buttery. It probably would've been better if it was eaten right after it was freshly made, and while it was still warm. There was a lot of cheese in the arepa, giving it a nice salty and savoury contrast to the sweet corn dough. After you're done the meal, you go up to the counter to pay (instead of having the bill brought to your table). Great food overall - I would not hesitate to come back.

What's Café Latino?: Small counter offering snacks/drinks on the ground level of an office/medical building. What Café Latino isn't: A restaurant with seating/wait-staff. Tucked away on the ground floor of a non-descript, multi-level office building, just North of the CIBC, on the east side of Hurontario lies an idea place for "shit, I forgot my lunch at home" OR "I'm finished my blood test, but God, I can use a snack!" type place. This "café" is run by a friendly Colombian woman who answered all my questions of what they serve. Primarily, it's baked empanadas (don't know if they have the fried corn ones), cheese sticks (wrapped in a dough), and canned drinks, including a KILLER blended ice coffee (like a Frap). She also has frozen chorizos to-go! I tried the beef, chicken empanadas, a Tequenos (cheese stick), and the blended coffee - ~$9 for everything. Out of those items the Beef Empanada and blended coffee were the best items! Owner also gave me a homemade hot sauce for the empanadas. Photos would've been helpful, but just talk to owner and ask her what she has! She is very friendly. :)

There is a small sign stuck near the entrance of the building that says "Cafe Latino". The cafe itself is small with a counter and 3 stool seats. We tried the empanadas and cheese bread. The baked empanadas were good, but I didn't think there was anything special to them. OH BUT THE CHEESE BREAD. Let me tell you about this glorious bread. This bread ball has cheese baked into it, and when you break into a warm bun, the aroma of delicious cheese instantly wafts up into your nose and mouth. It's actually amazing. All 4 of us were gawking in awe of how delicious this cheesy, slightly chewy bread was. I now stop by this place solely to bring a bunch of their cheese bread home. You must eat it warm though. You can ask the lady at the cafe to warm it up for you. 4 stars for the cheese bread and the friendly ladies at the cafe.
