    Bistec de res
    Courtney A.

    Amazing! 10/10. My husband and I ordered 2 cheese arepas, 1 empanada, 1 lulo, 1 bistec, and 1 bandeja paisa. All under $50. The inside is small and cash only but the food is so worth it. It helps to know Spanish but the menus are in Spanish and English, so if anything you can point to your options. The lulo was so interesting- honestly it reminds me of orange Julius lol Seemed like a family owned business, an older gentleman helped us out. Very kind service.

    Food is delicious and seems very authentic.

    Food is delicious and seems to be very authentic. The location is open even though Yelp states it is closed. Service is also great.

    Yes, get the Bandeja Paisa. Yes, get the empanadas. Yes, support the small hole in the wall business that grabs your heart strings the moment you are seated. You can easily tell it's family owned and with all heart. An amazing menu with delicious Colombian dishes and face it, we don't have too many Colombian restaurants in and around our neck of the woods. So this little place is a gem. The chicharron on that bandeja Paisa, alone with the rice, would make me a happy camper all day. Those empanadas, came out piping hot and fresh from the kitchen with limes and chimmichuri. Just heavenly. I'm disappointed I haven't found them sooner!

    This place has been here for years, I've been to every other business in this strip mall but this one. Well scratch this one off the list too. Always looking for something different for my kids to try. They were game. Small little place. It was busy with only one mesera. She did tell us it would be a moment. Well once we placed our order it did take about 45 min and we got it to go. I ordered the Bandeja Paisa with carne asada. It was a strong dish. Little bit of everything came with it. I ordered a morcilla aka blood sausage. Haven't had that in years and it was good if that's your cup of tea. Other dish we ordered was the aroz con pollo and some empanadas. Food was good. Only thing in hindsight is I think we should of dined in. Because after waiting for our order we still had to drive home afterwards. That was are The service was great by the lone mesera and she helped us with the menu too since we were newbies. I will definitely come back to dine in and try another dish.

    Empanadas, maracuya en leche (passion fruit made with milk), papa rellena (potato ball)

    I have really been wanting some yummy Colombian food and peppe's did not disappoint. The empanadas were fantastic, wonderful texture.. crispy outside and nice and stuffed inside. Along with the empanadas they make a great ají "salsa" to eat them with. The papa rellena was fantastic. Maracuya drink made with milk is absolutely delicious. We enjoyed this place so much I know we'll be coming back many times.

    Colombian Cola! A unique taste!

    As a COLOMBIANO myself I love coming to this tiny, but wonderfully authentic Colombian Food! Try Arepas con queso. Genuine Colombian products from the old country! This ain't some other taco house! Nothing Mexican about this chow! This family owed restaurant features DELICIOUS FOOD! Haven't tried them yet?! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! They'll them Casanova de Barranquilla told you to visit!

    Very good Columbian food! Only reason to try this cuisine was from Anthony Bourdain who went to Columbia and showed how they do breakfast. So I ordered the half chicken plate and bandeja paisa plate. Both excellent, loved their green fresh made salsa, beans were on point and the rice was buttery! Owner was nice and very cordial. Very small place for in restaurant dining. For the money, can't be beat.

Tonight I ordered a Beef Arepas with a side of fries - the fries are always amazing. I'm an uncultured American so this was the 1st time I've had an Arepas. The shell's crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside and the shredded beef's tender and delicious. I'm sad it took me until I was 50 to try one of these. I still can't figure out what's in the green sauce but I really like it. And they gave me a another sauce today, I jabe no idea what it is, but I'll ask for more next time.

On a sparsely traveled side street that separates the Target parking lot from the 91 freeway, is an attraction that will have you slamming on your brakes and craning your neck to see what the fuss is all about. The day we came, a Sunday afternoon, there were about 10 different, brightly colored trucks lined up along the curb, lights flashing, music blaring, and lines starting to form. You can park your car in the adjacent parking lot, there's plenty of room! Yes, this a very successful food truck according to Yelp. And by far the most patronized truck I saw that day. Inside the tiny galley kitchen are 4 hustling adults, including sweet Isabelle, the food ambassador of a husband and wife duo. I loved her enthusiasm and bright smile. At this point, I want to mention that Columbian taste buds are more finicky than many of their Central and South American brothers. So do not expect hot chile anything. Their palates prefer milder, not spicy foods, even though one of the sauces served with the empanadas was a garlicky, bright, herbal, oily sauce, not unlike the Argentinian chimichurri sauce. They call it aji (ah hē). I find it very addictive. Bandera Paisa - this is a combo plate that features a fat, Columbian chorizo (a non spicy sausage), a pile of moist shredded beef, a large strip of pork belly, white rice, Columbian red beans, a fried egg, avocado, and several pieces of fried sweet plantain. There is also one Cheese Arepa included. This dish can easily be shared by two and is a phenomenal deal and interesting taste adventure. Beef Arepa. This is basically a fried masa pocket substantially filled with their signature shredded beef, then topped with guacamole and white cheese. This is very similar to their beef empanadas, so I would encourage ordering one or the other, not both. It's big. Beef Empanadas (3). This is not your usual empanada. The generous beef filling is made from their sensational slow-cooked, flavorful shredded beef with a hint of corn and vegetables. The pastry is actually made of a coarse grained masa, formed into the traditional moon-shape, then deep-fried. It is heavier and far more filling than what I am accustomed to, but it has a chewy, coarse textured mouth appeal and rich flavor. One order is 3 empanadas. They offer an interesting variety of drinks, the most notable being their iced Columbian coffee (intensely rich, creamy, and sweetened) and a Passion Fruit Slushy that is an exotic fruity perfection. Both are pre-made and served out of a dispenser. Columbiana soda, plus other sodas and juices, are available in bottles and cans. The only downside is the seating. A few wooden tv trays and canvas folding chairs are set up on the uneven dirt adjacent to the sidewalk. It appears that using the sidewalk is off limits for seating. I loved their cute, vibrant Cuban music, but oftentimes it became overwhelming as it competed with another truck's equally loud Mexican music right next to them. That, and the seating, effectively convinced me that eating my food elsewhere was probably a better idea, even though sweet Isabelle was frequently checking in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Our bill was really reasonable, considering the amount of food we had. It was approx. $42, and there was plenty to bring home for another day.

Service was friendly but this particular night there was only one server for the entire restaurant so we had to wait a while to get our order taken plus we were never checked on so we had to wait a while to ask for water later and a really long time before we got our checks. The interior is colorful with faux windows on the wall and nice "Colombia" letters above the register. The menu is extensive though prices NOT listed on the paper menus. Food is slightly on the more expensive side but portions are decent in return. We ordered empanadas, jugo de lulo, aguapanela con limón, mondongo, and bistec a caballo. I also sampled some of their arepa con queso, bandeja paisa, and picada dishes that our friends ordered. Unfortunately, the restaurant was out of many drinks and also sold out of desserts. The mondongo was excellent and piping hot, but I am a big fan of tripe; it was served with rice and shredded cabbage. The bistec a caballo came as a large piece of steak and was bathed in a flavorful sauce and came with rice, a cup of beans, and a fried egg. The drinks and empanadas were also tasty. Overall, it was an excellent meal other than slightly subpar service on this visit. I would love to return on Fridays for their ajiaco, and Sundays for their sancocho!

But the limited menu looked promising so we gave it a go. It turned out that everything was delicious. The spare rib was fall off the bone tender and had great smoky flavor. The beans were surprisingly tasty too. (I always find beans an unnecessary and bland accompaniment). I absolutely loved the brisket stir fry. The flavors blended well and it had a nice kick. The meat was so tender and I appreciated the meat to noodle ratio. The chicken inside the empanada was deliciously smoky but not overly so and the crust was the right consistency and crisp. It came with 3 sauces which were good but would have like a more spicier option. I tried two cocktails that were in the collab menu. The black old fashioned was too strong for me. I definitely preferred the buffalo soldier which was tasty and refreshing. My favorite dessert was the Natilla. It was like a flan mousse and so good. The toasted coconut flakes added a nice texture. The oblea was fun to eat. That cream and jam were a great combo. Overall a worthwhile experience. I hope to come back to try their regular menu items.
