We stopped by here right before they closed and ordered 6 empanadas. They told us we couldn't dine…read morein at the restaurant because they were closing but they let us order the food. All the empanadas were gluten free and I was excited to try them. I ordered the beef / potato, pork and chicken empanadas because they were also dairy free. All of the empanadas tasted good and they weren't too greasy. I really enjoyed the green sauce served with them and smothered the sauce over each bite. I think my least favourite was the beef and potato because it didn't have enough protein inside. Allover they were all delicious! I rate them 4/5 stars. My husband ordered the chicken, spinach & cheese and the rice and beans empanadas. His favourite was the spinach and cheese. He really enjoyed them all and would give it 4.5 stars out of 5. Would we return? Absolutely!

Came here to try some Columbian food. Had the following:…read more-Beef arepa - sandwich with buns made from cornmeal (soft and delicate) ground beef cooked with pickled veggies.

I was disappointed because she no longer serves her ice cream sandwiches nor alfajores and she wasn't serving any insect dishes today. For dessert she is now selling ice pops by Angie. Grateful to have tried Columbian fast food, on to the next adventure!

Gotta respect her for doing that. I saw the sign, 'Get ur Coffee Here' and realizing that it was a Columbian kiosk and Columbians know a thing or two about coffee, I thought I'd give it a whirl and so glad I did. I was served a delicious Americano and sat down in front of the container watching life go by that balmy December afternoon as if it were Springtime. The 'crickets for a limited time' sign caught my eye too. This little haven of culinary delights never fails to impress. Wow, insects as a snack,? very cool. Sometime I'll go back to try some, mmmmmm.

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.

Located at Dundas-Bathurst near Old School and Almond Butterfly, Real Empanada is a MUST visit for fans of Colombian empanadas! We met the owner's amazing mama, who was super friendly and so enthusiastic about her son's shop (on the business card, he is the "CEO and Head of Research and Deliciousness" -- aww!) Since we'd never tried the Impossible meat before, she recommended that we try the vegan empanadas. We took them home frozen, and she gave us a piece of paper with the cooking instructions printed on it. Crispy shell, gluten-free, and so recommended. Next time, I'll come in and try them fresh for sure!

The eatery prides itself on making…read morefresh Colombian empanadas where the shell of the empanada is made out of corn meal, something that is uniquely different. The empanadas are from a family recipe, served with salsa, where there are 3 options available (chicken, beef and beyond meat). The interior of the restaurant is small where oftentimes, customers take their empanadas to go. However, there are about 8 stools to enjoy your empanadas if you can't wait. I dropped by Real Empanada on a Wed evening. To my surprise, once I walked in, there was no menu available. The owner, who sensed my confusion, asked if it was my first time here. I nodded and he began explaining how there were 3 empanada options available where you get a free empanada with your first order. He explained how Colombian empanadas were different from the other empanadas you can find in the city and what ingredients were inside each of them. I opted to try all three empanadas and ate them hours after I bought them. All the flavours were delicious where the complimentary salsa complemented the empanada well. The beyond meat empanada was a nice surprise as it was delicious as well. Overall, great new addition to the Bathurst/Dundas area, super friendly owner, and definitely a unique variation of an empanada that I have never had before! Would definitely recommend trying this place!

Amazing Colombian food in big portions, quick and friendly service, and nice casual atmosphere…read more Although technically an appetizer, the Patacon Relleno Vegetariano (stuffed green plantain with black beans, salad, avocado slices) could stand as a meal on its own - very hearty and filling. The texture of the crunchy green plantain slices went really well with the soft avocado, salad, and beans mixture inside, with a delicious sauce. The Ensalada (salad) came in a very large portion and consisted of lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, and avocado. Sancocho de Pescado (traditional & hearty Colombian soup made of fish, root vegetables, and tubers - including cassava / yuca, potatoes, plantains, corn on the cob; seasoned with cumin and cilantro) had a very flavourful soup broth that tasted like comfort food. It was served with rice, toasted arepa, and avocado. It had a good amount of meaty fish and various types of root vegetables that had been cooked really well (so they were all soft) and absorbed the rich flavour from the soup broth. Arroz con Camarones (seasoned rice with shrimps, vegetables, salad, green plantains) was my favourite - very flavourful rice with lots of big, tender shrimps.
