I have a Colombian friend that used to live near this business and used to tell me there was a…read moregreat Venezuelan food stall here. It wasnt quite Colombian food but close enough.. Every time I showed up it was closed. Never had their food. Cut to recently and there is now a Colombian food stall! Ironic yes? Now Ill have to tell my Colombian friend this even though they dont live nearby anymore. I will often make a sandwich or pizza run at the building next door but I decided to check out something new. I guess they are open normally on the weekend evenings but I happened upon a lunch special where they were serving Calentado which is rice beans chorizo and a fried egg plus a mixture of coal roasted/barbecued meats called picada. I'd had the picada at Juancho's deep in San Jose a while back so I figured Id do a comparison. Now with Juancho's it's a big restaurant and they have a large grill setup, plus the items are grilled to order as the flow is constant. At Patacom, they only have the one barrel with coals and it's 2 people working so they have to cook and keep it warm, so you dont get the straight off the grill freshness. However the pork and beef were both very well seasoned and had good flavor. I guess it would be best to catch them right at opening. THe meats also come with an arepa topped with cheese, boiled potatoes, yucca and plantains. So it's a pretty hearty meal. Id definitely come back and try some of their regular items at some point, especially if they do the bandeja paisa which seems to be the most widespread item I've seen amongst Colombians. And next time for the picada gotta show up right at opening!

I had the chance to try their delicious hard tacos. Paired with their salsa, these become really competitive. Their menu was more interesting - columbian food with a Vietnamese twist.

I decided to give Emelina's #2 an opportunity despite having some initial reservations about…read morewhether a restaurant operating multiple locations could maintain consistent quality and attention to detail. Unfortunately, my first visit only reinforced those concerns. I ordered the Tallarín Verde con Bisteck, listed on the physical menu as an 8 oz. New York grilled steak served with creamy pesto pasta. My girlfriend's steak was perfectly acceptable, while mine was composed largely of fat and was, for the most part, inedible. I asked whether the steak portion could simply be replaced. I was told it would take approximately 15 minutes, by which point the pasta would have been cold. I was then informed that I would need to purchase an entirely new entrée. The fact that I had touched the food was also raised, even though cutting into the steak was the only way to determine the extent of the issue. My girlfriend is Peruvian, and I chose this restaurant in the hope of surprising her with a well regarded local Peruvian dining experience. Instead, the quality of the steak and the manner in which the situation was handled made the experience feel markedly less refined and professional than expected. I left my phone number and requested that the owner contact me, as I am still giving the business an opportunity to address the matter directly. A sincere apology and a reasonable resolution would have been enough to preserve the relationship. As it stands, however, Emelina's #2 lost what could have been a loyal, long term customer.

Stumbled by this place (I think it's by a bunch of ghost kitchens? Not sure but definitely a hole…read morein the wall for take out & delivery app orders) and decided to give it a try. We had the beef empanadas, cheese arepas, and the pineapple passion fruit juice. Wowwwww the empanada was delicious - that corn shell was airy, crispy, perfectly thick, and had this amazing texture that wasn't oily at all. We've had our fair share of empanadas and this shell was amazing - definitely can't wait to come back and try the other fillings. The arepas were also really yummy - usually not a fan of just cheese but these were seriously yummy - the inside was creamy and again this dough was so perfect!!!! I wonder what the secret is lol. Definitely recommend coming to check it out :) 10/10 worth a visit!!
