I love delicious Columbian food so I decided to try this local Mercado/Restaurant for lunch. The husband and wife team/owners were so welcoming. Before I ordered, they let me know that since everything was made fresh it would be about 10 to 15 minutes. Always worth waiting for fresh/homemade food. I had the Chicken Toston which is what Grisella, the chef, is posing with and it was fantastic. I brought my husband the Cuban and it was very good. We finished up with a light guava and cheese empanada for dessert. So yummy I'm looking forward to going back and trying their breakfast and other lunch and dinner entrées. They also sell other fresh empanadas and frozen ones you can take home as well. Worth stopping in if you're in the area.

Great little hidden gem. Amazing food. I suggest you try the daily special in here. Couldn't resist digging in before the pic but here it is

Arroz con Pollo

The chicken and rice is the best in the universe! We had great food and very pleasant and informative service.

I 100% recommend this place. The owner and his wife treat you like friends and provide excellent service! Please try the arroz con pollo, it was so savory and delicious. The dish itself could make it a 5 star review. Very homey vibe and if you're looking for a treat try the "pan de bono" and a "cortadito" (a delicious bread pastry and a cup of coffee with milk)

Ricardo was an amazing host for our dinner at Rincon Montañero . Food was delicious he even sang to us. Best Cuban Sammy!!!

Family owned Columbian restaurant. We had empanadas, Arepas & Cazuela Montanera. I had a blackberry drink. Like a smoothie but made with water. From my understanding Columbian empanadas are made with a corn shell. It was delicious. We split the main course family style. We loved everything.

Ten stars!!! Great food and don't be surprised if the owner breaks out in a live musical performance. Awesome. Just go.

Hidden Gem. Chef-ceafted, made to order food. Family owned & operated. Casualty dining,

Mini Bandeja

I love finding small Latin restaurants and was glad I found this one when I was craving some home style food. I was very pleased that this restaurant has a mini version of a bandeja paisa because usually regular portion ones are enough to feed two people. I was a little disappointed that I didn't get avocado and only one plantain strip, but regardless it was a filling meal! It was good and authentic tasting. I got an empanada de queso and it was good as well! Perfectly made empanada, but I kept getting a refrigerator-like taste/smell from it ... maybe it's just me? The aji served with it was good, but I personally enjoy a spicy aji which this was not. Give them a try!

A trip to the Clearwater area isn't complete without a dinner at Columbia. It's always a treat to…read moredine here -- from the Cuban food to the ambiance to the service. Excellent! The food remains solid. We enjoyed the mahi mahi, the thin steak, and the Cuban sandwich. Plus, we also once again ordered the mojito pitcher. It's made table side -- though this time they did not add the rum in front of us. It always made us laugh when they poured a bottle of rum into the pitcher. When we asked, the waiter said the rum was already in the pitcher. That's the only bummer. Great restaurant that continues to deliver.

This is just over the bridge from Clearwater Beach. Different cuisine and things to choose from…read more Tip: Parking is limited in the strip mall this is in. Suggest valet for $6 or a couple of trips around the lot to find a spot. We sat outside, which was enclosed and heated and your are right on the water. Super cool and great views. We started off with the toasted bread and butter and the devil crab croquet. Not a fan - full of crab but the flavors didn't sit well and really needed some type of sauce to pair with it - we only had hot sauce. The original salad - is a must we shared it across four. It's made table side has cheese and olives in it and was really good. We got ours with a side of shrimp. Main courses - Cuban - it's a classic sandwhich which we shared. Comes with fried plantains which were ok. Again would have been better with some kind of sauce to dip it in. Steak Salteado - good flavor l, was expecting thin sliced steak and it was more like stew meat. Paired with rice and was good. Palomilla - would be better as the sandwhich version. Again this one needed a sauce for dipping. Shrimp "Al Ajillo" - this is a must and the oil garlic mix is perfect for dipping you toasted bread.

My brother who lives there swore by this spot, and the second I walked into Mi Carreta, I knew he wasn't exaggerating. The Bandeja Paisa? Absolute perfection. We're talking perfectly grilled steak, a runny fried egg, sweet plantains, creamy red beans, fluffy white rice, fresh avocado, crispy chicharrón, and grilled chorizo--all on one glorious platter. I attacked it so fast I didn't even snap a photo, but trust me, that plate is burned into my memory forever. As if the food wasn't enough, the TV above the counter was showing the World Cup group draw live. We found out who Colombia is facing right there over lunch--talk about perfect timing! The whole place was buzzing. For the grand finale, we grabbed a few Colombian donuts (buñuelos and pandebonos) to go. Sweet, cheesy, impossible to eat just one. If you're anywhere on Florida's west coast and craving authentic Colombian food, do yourself a favor and head straight to Mi Carreta in St. Pete. You can thank me (and my brother) later!

It's been a few times that we've eaten at La Mordida, a Clearwater- based Peruvian-Colombian…read morerestaurant ( US 19 & 66th street ) . We have not been disappointed ever. The ample space is welcoming and decorated with an Andean - Latino ambience paired with soft piped- music . There is a restaurant section from which you can see the kitchen to the side. A complete bar is strategically placed behind a slightly- raised stage where live music can be enjoyed while trying any of the interesting cocktails , beers Or spirits ! On the other side one can find the bakery- souvenir shop where they sell many Colombian & Peruvian cakes, pastries and candies - yes it's THAT big Now down to the main event: food portions are generous ( we always end up bringing home some boxes ) and everything I have tried so far is so delicious , from the array of tropical juices , appetizers to share ( or not !) , main entrees , sides and desserts . There is something for everyone or you can plan to split! I enjoy the sides of maduros and the tostones. Food and service are perfect - it's no wonder La Mordida is here to stay !! Bravo !!.

Got to try a bunch of things off the menu for cheap and top it off with a specialty drink (not on HH, but it was lovely). Adorable place (especially if you like llamas!!)
