Amazing food. We always like to try a variety of different cultural food and this hit the spot. When we are back in town we will sure come again. Thank you for great service and delicious food!!! read more

Tried this place after the CSU homecoming event and even though it was late and busy our service was fantastic. Food quality was very high and interesting with a mix of Columbian dishes including empanadas, taquenos, and pork belly. Would definitely recommend. read more

I recently found out about this spot and had to check it out. I love that we now have a Colombian spot in FoCo so I had to support :) The food and service were fantastic! We weren't sure about what to order so we asked the staff to help with recommendations. She suggested an arepa rellena. We tried the chicken and the steak arepa rellena and shared a side of the plantains. The food was delicious and the arepas were a good size to enjoy as a meal on their own. The steak was flavorful and tender. The space is pretty small, but it seems that they're expanding to a bigger location next to their current location. I love when our local businesses thrive especially ones with great food and service! If you're in the neighborhood, stop by and check them out! read more

This place caught my Venezuelan partners eye, specifically the empanada guyaba. I tried the medallo and guyaba; we had to order a second flight they were so delicious. No one ever educated me on the merits of mozzarella and guava previously! New favorite thing ever read more

Solid prices for the area, good portions, delightful empanadas! Adorable server, lovely location and outdoor setup. Gluten friendly options and I love the breakfast menu! read more

Definitely recommend the sampler of empandas. 4 for $13. The guava cheese was amazing. The texture of the empanada was delicious and they are hot and crisp. Great customer service All of gluten free options but not celiac safe because of using the same fryer for everything. The wait is a little long but it's because they're fried when ordered Very little indoor seating but a lot of outdoor. read more

This restaurant is amazing! I have been up in Fort Collins for work for over a month now and have been eating my way through the menu and haven't been disappointed a single time. I don't think you can order wrong here haha. My favorite thing that i have ordered is either the huevos pericos or sancocho (only served saturday or Sunday). If you go, be sure to get a buñuelo with your meal and for dessert do not miss out on the tres leches or guava cheese empanada....soooo good..you will be so glad you ordered. They've also got a great juice and Colombian beer selection. It's kinda hard to not buy everything when i go in there because everything is so good The staff is also incredibly friendly, i have met several of them at this point from going so often and everyone is very welcoming and nice. Even when it's super busy the service has been great and the food usually comes out fast. I am excited for them to expand though because the space is very small. It would be hard to bring a big group there at this time. Overall Fort Collins is definitely super lucky to have this gem!! read more

My husband and I were excited to try this restaurant after hearing great things. The experience started strong -- we were seated quickly, and water arrived promptly. Unfortunately, that was also the last human interaction we had for the next 30 minutes. At some point, we began to wonder if we had accidentally signed up for an immersive dining experience called "Now You See Me, Now You Don't." The restaurant wasn't busy, we saw several servers, and yet we somehow achieved full invisibility status. After half an hour of admiring the décor, hydrating, and questioning whether we were part of a social experiment, we decided to leave. Even on our way out, we remained wonderfully unnoticed. On the bright side, the water was excellent and the table was comfortable. We just wish we'd had the opportunity to try the food. read more

Got four Pandebono to go. They seemed a bit pricey but was excited to try them. I was very disappointed to taste them and they tasted like sour milk. Had to throw them away. read more

Cool place, we found out it was family owned. A family member stopped by our table and his pride in the place was evident. Our server Christina was super friendly and attentive. We had empanadas and they were delicious. We tried the beef, the chicken, and the nacho, all 3 were terrific. We also had a breaded mozzarella cheese stick that was tasty, my wife enjoyed it more than I did. Only knock and it's a mild one, is that it did take quite a while to get our food. The restaurant was only half full so was not crazy busy, but the empanadas were worth the wait. Super golden crispy on the outside, (hence the "Yellow Crunch" name?) delicious filling on the inside and some really nice dipping sauces. Looking forward to going back to try more dishes. They pointed out their daily happy hour specials too, we'll probably make happy hour our next visit. read more

Amazing food. I've had almost everything on the menu and have never been disappointed. Fun little location with great staff. And I LOVE that they have Horse & Dragon Brewing on tap - local businesses supporting local businesses. read more

Went here for my sisters birthday on a Friday night. Very special experience! Natalie was our server and made sure we were taken care of the whole time. Food was good and the drinks were even better :D read more

This place is good. Very good. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu! Highly recommend read more

I've been here a handful of times already during their soft opening and have been impressed with both the food and the service. It's located in a small shipping container at The Exchange with a small seating area (read: VERY small), and the quality is outstanding considering the space they're working with. I went in for the empanadas to start - the Medallo (GF), the Nacho and the Chicken (GF) empanada. While greasy, and DELICIOUSLY so, they are obviously freshly made to order, piping hot, and full of flavor. The spicy sauce/salsa they include has a massive kick of heat, and I'm officially obsessed and am hoping they offer to bottle this soon. There is some gluten cross-contamination worries since they have other options that aren't gluten-free. The woman working the register was friendly and outgoing, and up for answering any and all questions that the line of customers had. The Buñuelo (GF) is a deep-fried ball of cheese, corn starch and yuca flour. This is delicious on its own - crunchy outside, soft and pillowy inside, but I used the avocado sauce as a dip to enhance the flavor. I'll be heading back to try some of their full entree dishes, but likely will stick to take-out until summertime since the dining room fills up pretty quickly! read more

A very small but quaint place. Food was great and exceptional staff--Carolina. Can't wait to go back!!! Highly recommend it!

Was very disappointed about this place and won't be returning. I got the 1 Arepa with drink (maybe 6oz or less) $15. After I received my order I realized the price was not worth what I got. This is during great plates My order came out in about 10min - 15mins, was a bit cold and basically falling apart. The menu said toppings and I picked pickled onions and rice. I assumed the rice would be on the side and expected the onions inside, but everything was inside which made the tortilla fall apart. My sister got the same thing and hers was burnt and broken and falling apart. I was very surprised they would serve their food this way since they are a new restaurant. The only good thing I got was the bunuelo, it was crunchy and chewy which the kids loved. Unfortunately no images as I didn't think to capture how terrible they looked. read more

This place is AMAZING. Incredibly fresh and everything on the menu is delicious. A friend is Columbian and cannot stop eating it either so you know it's good! read more

I ate here this weekend after the marathon and wow it was amazing!! I live closer to Denver but I would absolutely drive back up just to eat here again. The staff was extremely friendly and the food was delicious! I had the Pixar's Mix and the empanadas flight. So so good!! It's located in the exchange and it's also a fun place to hang out with friends and family! read more

Food was incredible and service was excellent. Gaby was knowledgeable and hospitable when answering my questions. Highly recommended!

We're looking forward to trying again when it's less busy. On a Saturday around noon, we waited 30 minutes for two empanadas and a juice; our soda was forgotten and they were busy enough we didn't go back in for a correction. Empanadas are tasty, but service was slow and not what we were hoping for today. The empanadas are small, so we would recommend at least two per person. read more

Yellow Crunch - Empanada, chicken - Empanadas Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

This is the real deal... Had the beef empanadas and some type of combo plate with beef, chicharrónes, potatoes and plantain chips. Both items were served with homemade salsas. The food was incredibly well plated and cooked. The space itself is small and cramped and that's the only complaint. The food is top shelf, the people who run it are friendly. This place is amazing and if you like Latin food this is going to be trouble... read more

Stopped in to check the menu to see if they have vegetarian options. Was hoping for vegan but didn't have anything. I still tried the empenadas. They were really good! I'd like to try the veggie tamale next time. It's at the Exchange so next time I'm out that way, I'll grab an avocado taco from Vatos and a tamale from Yellow. read more

Absolutely obsessed with the nacho and guava empanadas. Best Authentic Colombian place in town in my opinion. The workers there are all super helpful in making recommendations and are super nice. If I could afford to get food from here as often as I want it, I I'd be going nearly every day. The only thing I haven't liked from this place have been the plantains. Those scared me already, but I'm like a picky little kid when it comes to cooked fruit. read more

SO AMAZING!!!! food is great for all ages! everyone there is so nice! Spicy and not spic it is all really good!

The service is top notch - thank you! The food was also delicious (would love for it to be a little warmer). The pork tamal was perfect and the yucca bread delicious (though a bit pricey at $3 for one roll). Biggest complaint is that there is SO MUCH single use plastic for each entree - complete overkill and sadly will make us reconsider returning. I hope they make, it's nice to have different cuisine in the community. read more

We contacted Yellow Crunch for a catering order for an event. They gave us many options within our budget. Everyone at the event raved about the food. We got arepas and empanadas, and they gave a bag of sauces and a generous amount of toppings. The vegetarian options were so yummy, too! They were also incredibly kind. We will be returning! read more

Didn't manage to stop eating long enough to take pictures but trust me when I say the food is AMAZING!!! We got some empanada flights and everything was so good. The sauces were on point as well! Highly recommend! read more

They're still working out operations, but the food and drinks are amazing. You really don't get flavor like this in FoCo. Get in before the Spring/ Summer season, because come then, this might be the hottest spot in town. read more
