Reviews

This Columbian Market/Restaurant had several choices for platters. It was very good and portions were good. The price was little higher than your basic lunch but well worth it. Not a dinner spot as the tables/chair were in an open space of the market. Servers were happy and polite and music was playing! Great atmosphere.

I work in the city for years I’ve been a loyal customer, and this is by far my favorite place to get lunch/dinner. Food is absolutely delicious, bold favors, lots of variety. Best empanadas, lots of snacks and drinks, friendly staff. Thank you for the amazing food and service!

The food is delicious and generous helping. I just finished my sancocho and pernil with rice and red beans. Better value than the McDonald's across the street. The ladies behind the counter were efficient and kind.

You would never expect some really good food from the exterior look. It not a restaurant but a grocery store that sell prep food dishes. Food is made fresh daily. Friendly service. Some minimal seating for quick eats for locals lunch time. Parking is limited in the back. For the price of a processed value meal across the fast food place, I rather get some freshly cooked home style flavorful Latin food.

Updating my review current as of 2024 This is the best Columbian Food around! Richard and his team provide fast, friendly, and amazing service! Their food is delicious, fresh, and authentic! This is a small location mostly for ordering and taking out. We order catering often and I order for home almost every week! I don't speak Spanish, but they never make me feel uncomfortable, and when I want to know the correct name of a dish or treat they happily let me know. Thank you Richard and team for your awesomeness
