    Old school Colombian spot! The rice and beans definitely is the key for me after working all day. Good spot very traditional and got lots of goodies on side ready to go !!! This place definitely needs more love and traffic food is very good !!!

    Been Going to Pan Rico for years. If you feel like trying Colombian pastries, coffee and other goodies I recomend this place. Only place in Houston were I can find masato (tipical rice beverage) plus their pasteles are awesomeness.

    Empanadas with Aji green sauce

    I love this Colombian bakery! My family and I think their empanadas are the best you can get in Houston. Their food is very authentic and the staff is friendly. I always get the empanadas with the green aji sauce. Their fruit juices are delicious too. I like their guava with milk smoothie. The cheese stuffed arepas go great with their chorizos. Lastly, their dulce de leche pastries called "milhojas" are divine!

    First time here did not like it at all. Food took forever to come out.. food was cold . Rice served cold.. Bad service first and last time here.. I do not recommend this place to anyone!!! This a Colombian place they supposed to serve Colombian !!! They serve Folgers coffee 'Really'

First off, the service is top notch. The staff are friendly, attentive, and make you feel right at home -- exactly what you want when you're starting your day. Special thanks to Katy ! The food? Everything I've tried for breakfast has been straight-up delicious. No misses here. My favorites? The Capuccino and the Pan de Bono!! And for desert , the passion fruit mousse !

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.
