The food I got was fine, it just wasn’t worth the price. I got a brisket arepa which I was excited for, but for the price of $12 I expected to get two palm sized arepas not one. Yucca fries were great, nothing wrong there. Just the aerpas are priced too high in my opinion for what you get.

The staff and service are great, but the food is mediocre, not authentic Columbian and overpriced. Bowl is 3/4 rice and beans. No seasoning on beans, or brisket, which was dry. A small portion of salad with what tastes like French dressing! Empenadas are okay, but dry. Half a plantain for $4. No mango juice on brisket bowl but that was closest option for review.

The food that we got was ok but the price tho in my opinion it was so pricey.
I ate in few places in Jersey and the price is like double here I’m not sure why. Maybe is because this area didn’t have much Latino community or near college kids. The portions also is small.
The pandebono in Jersey with regular size (if you are a Colombian or had been to Colombia bakery you know when I said regular size) is $1.50 to $1.75. At this place 3 pieces mini size $3.85 (see pics).
Same thing with empanadas.
And yes like other reviews said this place don’t have breakfast menu just very little bakery options.
The guy that take the order was friendly but I won’t go back here one time experience is enough.

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.

Chimi Chicken GF Bowl:
I would have given 2 stars but I’ve been to this restaurant before and there are times when the food is immaculate and then there is today, the days when the food is horrible. It pains me to write this because I normally don’t write reviews unless it’s warranted. So, the rice……how do you mess up rice. You clean it, boil it, and let it cool down. Easy work. The rice in this dish was hard. Not sure if it was undercooked or just left to sit out, but it was hard. The chicken was also hard and some pieces were very dry which leads me to believe that it was sitting out or under a light for too long. I don’t know, but the issue here is that the pollo bowl or Chicken GF, it’s main appeal, is the chicken and rice. If those two are bad, the rest of the bowl isn’t worth finishing.
It doesn’t help that this is a Columbian restaurant which is a country known for having some of the most delicious dishes on the planet. The cook here did the culture a disservice. I’m not going to continue to give business to a company that offers good service 50% of the time. With that being said, I’m probably gonna avoid this place for the summer but, it’s worth checking out a few times if you haven’t been here before. Just be aware, the food quality changes depending on who decided to work that day.

The food was good but the place seems to work best as a takeout than a dine-in to eat since there are not many tables.
The food was also not easy to eat without making a mess. The yuca fries were pretty good as well as the arepas.

Visited for the first time yesterday. The beef empanada was very small and didn’t seem homemade, flavor was ok. I wouldn’t have it again. The side of ripe plantains was delicious. The ropa vieja arepa was AMAZING! It was packed with meat. Ropa Vieja is my favorite Cuban dish that my Mom made. The Colombian Spot’s version was a tad salty but overall delicious and I would definitely have it again. The girl that took my order was very nice and helpful. Place is small but clean. My order came out quickly.

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
