I got the choripollo arepa and the meat on it was so delicious, the garlic sauce was also very yummy. The actual arepa on the other hand, in my opinion, was too thin and dry so I was disappointed with that. UPDATE: I've gone back and their empanadas and their bowls are SO delish, I would recommend trying them out

It was really good.  Quick service, delicious food and great location.   I will recommend their Brisket arepa, beef empanadas and the Yuka fries!!

This is a review for the Oakland location: Ordered dinner on Christmas Eve eve. Got lots of empanadas 3 beef, 2 chicken, and 1 vegetable, an arepa de queso, and tres leches.  The arepa was fairly flavorless. It tasted like an even milder version of an American grilled cheese, just with a different bread and white cheese. The cheese itself was fairly good when it wasn't overpowered by the tough corn breading. If you like crispy breading then the corn may be for you. It's also better when warm, just a heads up. Portion was okay, maybe a little on the small side.  My empanadas tasted quite authentic and delicious. They felt like they were homemade. Again, I wasn't a huge fan of the crispy corn on the outside. I thought the inner filling for the veggie was a bit strange. Keep in mind the only vegetables in there are beans and spinach, with the addition of rice. Tastes oddly sweet. The chicken was flavorful and had a pleasant sweetness and texture. No one flavor overpowered the other. The beef and chicken too had potatoes in it, which were quite creamy. Beef itself was cooked well and had an okay texture. Empanadas are medium sized but cheap.  I really recommend you use the sauces whenever you can, both with the arepa and empanada. I highly enjoyed the pink and garlic sauce. They were both creamy and flavorful.  Finally, my favorite part of the meal was trying my first tres leches. It was light but delicious! Cake was soaked well and I enjoyed mopping up all the condensed milk at the bottom. There is also some sort of frosting at the top.  Overall, it's a good restaurant to try Columbian food for the first time. I'm not sure when or if I will be back, but it was a decent meal.

Okay so this place is awesome. The food was amazing. I ate half of it before I remembered I wanted to take a photo. I wasn’t sure what to get and the staff was very helpful with recommendations. I got a bowl, an arepa, and an empanada to split and everything was great.

I love the Colombian spot! The vegetarian options are amazing. I had been to the location in the south side and I am so glad they are now on campus. Definitely my new favorite comfort food. Also the workers are so kind and helpful!! 10/10Dine in: YesOutdoor seating: NoTakeout: YesDelivery: No

The empanadas here are delightful.  The sauces slap.  Perfect meal on the go.  Came out in 5 mins. Looking forward to checking out the breakfast menu!

Really solid food. I got the ropa vieja bowl. Delicious. Great portion sizes for the price. Fantastic sauces the hot, garlic, and pink are all very tasty. I go to roots often because of flavor and the ability to spread a roots bowl across lunch and dinner. The Colombian spot is now going on my food rotation for the same reasons.

This place was suggested to me by my date after an amusement park excursion. And let me tell you it was amazing! So affordable and you get a plethora of food. All scrumptious as well. It didn't hurt that she is Colombian and knows her food haha.

I'd been wanting to stop here for a while. We had the brisket and ropa vieja arepas. Both were delicious. The former had a sweet and tangy citrus slaw that complemented the smoky brisket. My son said his had a nice balance of sweet, salty, and savory from the plantains, cheese, and beef. They were smaller than I expected based on the photos on the menu but filling enough. We'll return for empanadas next time.

Takeout review Cool spot. Nice staff. I love places with bowls! Food could use a bit more seasoning. And you dont get as much food as pictured.
