I'd leave him if it meant I can have Colombian food for the rest of my life. Lol, jk!! Guess we'll never know. But yeah, come check it out on a weekday for the lunch special. Their arepas are pretty legit, too. I haven't had an arepa so crispy and puffy in a long time. Fonda Paisa, you're good in my book.

The steak's flavor was fine, but it was tough, difficult to chew, and I wasn't a fan of the cook on it. It felt like it was boiled, then covered with sauce. Rice and creole potatoes were fine. Not much to say there. Didn't really like the pony malta soda either. But I'm also speaking as an American. Tres leches cake was absolutely delicious. It was baked well, it was creamy, and the whip was perfect. Best I've ever had. Food took a little long.

Should have stayed with our usual spot. That said, I'm giving four stars because the owner was very nice and each item was tasty enough. Portions were underwhelming.

First time ordering ( Uber Eats) here…read more I did two SOPES: one Al Pastor and one STEAK. Sopes were really amazing. I asked the restaurant to put Al Pastor meat more time in the grill because I love it crispy and they followed all the instructions. Both meats were really tasty soft and flavorful ; it seems that they use fresh and high-quality ingredients on their plates. Sopes had a little spread of beans, meat, cheese...mexican cream and lettuce on the top. The order came with two kind of salsas medium spicy and delicious. Thank you for giving me a little piece of my country in this plate and a cute detail written in the bag! Congratulations. Keep doing a wonderful job and blessings!!!

The chicken was hot, the rice was fluffy, And the beans were soft, just like they should be. The salsa verde was a little bland and tasted like water blended with just hot peppers if you ask me. It's a heavy dish and I'm used to having some kind of pickled side vegetables as a Korean (like cultido?) but I realize this isn't always the standard for some cuisines. Anyway, all of what I ate for $9 was too good. I'll be coming back as long as the establishment continues to fight the status quo of this ever spiraling country.

THE FOOD ----------------…read more+ 99.9% of the food was EXCELLENT!!! + Picanha, Sirloin, Beef Ribs, Garlic Picanha, Lamb, Sausage, Bacon-Wrapped Chicken, Grilled Pineapple and all of the Salad Bar food was absolutely delicious. ++++ All of the mentioned pieces of steak were fresh, juicy, tender and verrrrrry flavorful. Also, the meats weren't very gamey at all, which tends to be my gripe with churrascarias. ++++ Grilled pineapple was to die for and the perfect way to complete our meal. Easily could have eaten 10 slices of this! + Salad Bar was surprisingly quite large with many different salads, pastas, rice, beans, maduros, soups and freshly sliced fruit. - The pieces of Filet Mignon were really the only disappointment as they were well done and just not very tasty. THE SERVICE ------------------- + All of the waiters were friendly and on point with their service. ++++ Very quick in clearing our plates. ++++ Refilled our water multiple times. + All of the gauchos bringing the meat skewers and carving up the meats were friendly and accommodating with letting us grab multiple slices/pieces of meat. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Supppppper spacious, clean restaurant with classy, modern decor. + Located on level 1 across from Cheesecake Factory. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = We dined in at around 12:20ish on a rainy Saturday afternoon and we were the verrrrry first customers inside. In fact, there were only 3 other tables occupied during the 1.5 hours that we were there, so there were A LOTTTTT of empty tables. It was quite strange being the only customers in this large restaurant for a good 45 minutes, so they were bringing the meats out for just us! CONCLUSION -------------------- = Didn't expect that Picanha would be right up there with the best churrascarias I've ever been to, but not only are they up there with the best, but they MIGHT BE MY FAVORITE....ever!

Having lived in Los Angeles/Orange County for the past 26 years, I'm kind of a snob when it comes…read moreto Vietnamese food, Pho, in particular. I was amazed when I found this little hole-in-the-wall gem in one of my old haunts, Closter. I decided to give it a try. I got two bowls of the beef combo Pho, a single order of the regular beef Pho, the Spicy Ma Mi banh mi sandwich, and a Vietnamese Iced Coffee. These items are the easiest to judge, as most of the Vietnamese restaurants around Bergen County and the surrounding area kind of fail, choosing to cater to the population (skimping on spice, choosing western ingredients over authentic Asian ingredients, etc.). When I picked up my call-in order, the woman at the counter was very nice, though not Vietnamese and neither was the cook (not a problem at all, just an observation). She handed my order and I paid with a nice tip. I made it almost half way home when I got a call from the restaurant, and the same person told me she forgot to hand me the Vietnamese Iced Coffee and apologized. I made a u-turn and drove back to Ma Mi Eatery and picked up my drink. None of this exchange knocks any points against them, in fact, I was happy they called me. When I got home and unpacked everything, it all looked pretty authentic. I started with the combo beef Pho, adding all the toppings, plus the condiments of Hoisin sauce and Sriracha. What was missing was the fresh Thai basil! Then I read the menu and saw that they put the basil IN the soup when they serve it, so when I got home, all the basil was wilted. That's a shame because every single AAA Pho restaurant in Westminster, California serves their Pho with fresh Thai basil so customers can control how much basil they want, and to prevent wilting. That is my only real critique. Otherwise, the Pho was delicious, the broth was flavorful, and the really LOADED the soup with beef. Seriously, a lot of places in Westminster aren't that generous with brisket, but Ma Mi made my day. The Spicy Ma Mi banh mi sandwich was delicious, and loaded with all the appropriate toppings and condiments, though I wish they packed the wet ingredients (pickled carrot and daikon, cilantro, jalapeño) so the bread wouldn't get soggy, which it did, slightly. The bread itself was not the best bread I've had, typically, the bread used in most Vietnamese sandwich shops have a flaky crust and airy soft bread inside. This one a bit coarse on the crust with a heavy crunch. The interior was okay though. All in all, it was a great effort. The next time I revisit my hometown, I'll be sure to stop by Ma Mi Eatery for sure.

Very pretty restaurant, with lots of colors and decorations inside. I was surprised to see their gigantic menu that has so many different kinds of items including burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, arepas, papas, ensaladas, patacons, antojos, bakery, desserts and juices. I order couple of beef empanadas and flan to go. The lady packed up my items right away, super quick service. Beef empanadas were filled with beef and potatoes, with delicious green and spicy mayo sauce on the side. I was blown away by the flan. Such creamy taste yet it was dense. Like other flans it wasn't over baked, so it still had light yellow color instead of dark brown on top. My first visit was great. I am going to stop by again to try the other items in the menu.

He was able to order easily and the food was given to him in a reasonable amount of time. They have color printed menus with nice photos for each dish. I ordered the bolon verde with chicharrón. When I started eating I noticed there was no chicharrón but I kept going thinking I was encounter it soon. I got halfway through the bolon and found all the chicharrón had been packed in the center of the bolon. On top of that, all of the chicharrón was burnt to a crisp. I laughed because it honestly felt like a prank. I'm not sure how much my brother paid but no price was worth what I received. My brother ordered grilled chicken, rice and beans. My sister had a beef empanada. They liked their items and had no issues. Given that my siblings items were okay I cannot say I wouldn't recommend this place at all. I just wouldn't recommend the bolons from this place. There are other Ecuadorian places in the same neighborhood (walking distance from this place!!) that serve bolons consistently well made. I hope that they are consistent with their other dishes and no one strikes out like I did.
