This was our first visit to The Porch after seeing the very high overall rating (4.9 stars), so we came in with positive expectations.
We arrived at 11:30 AM and were the only customers in the restaurant the entire time. Our order was taken quickly, but the service afterward felt unorganized and lacked attention to customer details.
After placing our order, two women went into the kitchen to help cook while one man remained seated, playing on his phone. They later prepared food for themselves, and their food came out at the same time as ours. Meanwhile, we waited about 36 minutes just to receive our drinks, and our food arrived around 12:06 PM.
We were not offered water and were unsure whether water is only provided upon request. There were three people in our party, but only two sets of silverware were given. These small details stood out, especially since the restaurant was empty and we were the only guests from the moment we arrived until we left.
As for the food, it may simply not have matched our personal taste. Most items were fried and fairly average to us.
Overall, the experience did not match what we expected based on the high ratings online. While it wasn’t terrible, it felt inconsistent with the reviews we had read.

It’s decent
Arepas shell was good but filling can do better on seasoning. It had a sweet sauce inside which wasn’t upto to my taste
Empanadas good but mostly filled with mash potato. Not the regular yellow empanadas as in Colombia.
Overall good.

This place was absolutely delicious. My husband and I shared the beef and chicken Rellenos. He had the wings and I had the Mixed Arepas. Both were fantastic. Talk about FLAVORFUL!! And the Coconut Limeade was purely thrust quenching. I enjoyed every aspect of this place! Highley recommended. Service was a tad slow since we were the only people there, however we shouldnt put a rush on the deliciousness in this authentic columbian food.

Fantastic place. The woman working the front was exceedingly friendly. She had such a good attitude that I think if I were having a bad day prior to my arrival, it would cheer me up immediately. I got the stuffed arepa and a beef empanada. Both were absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh, high quality, and came out piping hot. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a different spot for lunch.

Honestly, I forgot to take food pictures but everything I tasted was amazing. Every bite was warm, every bite felt like I was in heaven. Best food I have tasted in a while living in Wisconsin. I really recommend everything HAHAHA, cuz everything is absolutely amazing. They also have DOOR DASH, that’s how I eventually found them.

When I heard there was a Colombian spot in De Pere I didn’t hesitate to come! The empanadas are a HIT as well as the Arepas! Growing up we would eat Arepas with just butter! Lol. They are corn meal based fritters and Empanadas are like a meat pie/meat turnover! Still in all delicious My drink of choice was a Jammin’ Jackson $9 on point not too sweet with a punch that with one drink it will take the stress off Lol! You must try this place at least ONCE The atmosphere is chic and music will have you in a zone! I love guacamole so I didn’t mind but if you don’t you still won’t be disappointed.

A friend and I stopped here for lunch. The chicken and beef empanadas were very good. The chicken and beef arepas were fantastic. The sugar cane lemonade was excellent as well. Must try.
