Colombian Restaurants near Woodhaven, NY

“Had to drive my dad to an appt at the medical office next door so I ended up parked right outside this place. I was curious and popped in to get some empanadas to go. Just had them and they were really good. A little greasy but not sure if that was just because I didn't eat them 'just made', but they were delicious. They have tables but I don't know that I'd eat there - definitely a grab and go place for me. Flavor's good. Very authentic. If you're expecting fancy "white-washed" Colombian (yes that's a thing) this is not the place to go. If you're just looking for something tasty and not too expensive and real deal - I'd recommend it.“

“My son enjoyed the steak, and I opted for grilled chicken with rice, beans, and a perfect salad at our favorite local restaurant. The waiter was delightful, providing excellent service that made us feel at home. The food was delicious – hoping the same cook stays in the kitchen! ?“

“I love this place, the food is so homemade and so delicious, it doesn't have excess seasonings or is heavy and it always has the perfect amount of salt?, the people who work at this place are so helpful and friendly that I could eat here every day, I love this place and it is super clean, I definitely recommend it!!“

“Danna the manager is a lovely, very knowledgeable on the menu. She made great recommendations everything tasted amazing from the Money Tray to the Roasted Salmon. Don’t sleep on the drinks either get the Burning Mojito, the Passion Fruit & Blueberry Margaritas as well! Also the scorching water shots with strawberry water! Ask for everything! Can’t wait to go back!“

“I am from the neighborhood(live on 42nd) and been there a bunch of times. Food is great, they have good choices and staff is friendly yet professional. I also pass by there 4-5 times a week and always see that they are running a tight operation and place is always clean and neat. Also you can see the kitchen as you order the food. They are pretty organized and clean. Food tastes great. Never had issues. Glad to have places like this in my hood.“

“I do eat here twice a week at least near by my job I love them chicken roasted with fries salad and rice for less then 14$ them prices fair specially happy hour drink 8$ that super good for upscale restaurantCustomer service is so great and professional I love the lights and the setting I’m loyal there lol“

“I was reminded of exactly why I love this café when picking up some pastries today:• The coffee is delicious and everything is made with attention and care.• The décor and music make me smile every time I walk in. (When is the last time you can say that about any chain eatery?)• The women who own and operate the café are super friendly, always greet you with a smile and are clearly very competent at running a business. (Did I mention everything is spotless?)I hope you support this family business – I know I will.“

“Between the staff & the food & the service ? Everyone there was top tier professional and super sweet! They celebrated my mommy to the max! The food was amazing & so tasty ! I would recommend everything in the menu if I could! Thank you guys for an amazing experience!!!!!!!!“

“The best chicken soup in the LIC delivery area. When I'm not feeling well, I don't have energy to my make my chicken soup from scratch. Found this place on yelp, and their soup is by far the most homemade tasting ever. So comforting and delicious! Sorry no pic because I finished it too fast.. but had large chunks of carrot, potatoes, herbs and lots of fresh fall off the bone dark meat chicken.“

“The Colombian tamaleria is a beautiful corner of Colombia in the majesty of the Great Mazana, for those of us who are passing through it is a great place to evoke family moments, remember a breakfast at home or a weekend lunch. For those who have more time to visit, in this place you can find a games space with pinball machines and slot machines, on weekends they have live music and a large dance floor. The menu presents a tour of the typical dishes of our country, including a rib broth, three-phase sancocho, suckling pig, tamale, arepa with cheese, chicharrones, patacones, empanadas and much more, very rich flavors and fair prices for this city. I would return with the greatest of pleasure.“

“The sign outside caught my eye. Picked mango pork empanada- seemed small but was packed with flavorful filling. Their hot sauce has right spiciness. I asked why the black color, was told bec made of black corn. I read colored with natural extracts too. Gluten-free. Have to try the other ones. Only a small table seating outside.“

“It is a super nice and pleasant place, the fruit salads and their cholado are delicious and the service is very good, I always go when I can and the experience is excellent.I will soon have my birthday there with my friends and family.Super recommended.❤️“

“Picked up food here during a late night. Nobody was there but the music was blaring. I got a burrito bowl with shrimp and chaulafan with seafood. The food was delicious but prices are a bit high. The seafood was not overcooked. The chaulafan was flavorful and contained a good amount of seafood (mussels, shrimp, and squid) and it wasn't rubbery at all! The fried egg was nice and fluffy as well.“

“Well, the place is very nice, the service in general is very good, I recommend it 100%, it covers all expectations, greetings to inca paisa!!!! Katherine, Valentina and Sthephany very good serversParking: Very good, very reliableKid-friendliness: Of course the atmosphere is familiar“

“Fantastic food and service! Natalia is a very attentive and sweet waitress and her service was excellent. The bandeja paisa was delicious and so was the tostones rellenos ? the ambience was great for family night or date night, with live music mixed with TVs showing the games. My husband and I will be back!“

“12/10. Incredible food. Large quantity of food for the price, and extremely high quality. Few ways in which could be better. Excellent service as well, and very clean and up-beat atmosphere. Thank you Isabel and our other waiter for a fantastic evening!! We will be back ??“

“(Translated by Google) Excellent and cozy I loved the homemade flavor that I found in this place, everything was very fresh and I felt very well attended (Original)Excelente y acogedor me encanto el sabor casero que encontré en este lugar todo muy fresco y muy bien atendida me sentí“

“$25.00 for a plate of pernil, octopus, arroz con gandules, ample portion and well worth it. The guy has magical cooking skills. Lechon is falling off the bone, everyhing is delicious, tasty. It's in the Bronx, well worth the trip. He is leaving for Aguadilla, Puerto Rico soon to open a Lechonera there. What a loss. The guy is so charming, really nice man. Food is just amazing.“

“I loved going to this restaurant, the delicious ajiaco reminded me of my beloved Bogotá, the delicious fritters and the attention of the very friendly and helpful waiters.The place is very clean and well decorated, it feels like being at home.“

“I absolutely love this place! my parents are in town and what better way to celebrate them and Good Friday than by bringing them to Barriles. Food is always delicious, drinks are the best and the customer service they provide is top notch. No matter the day of the week, time of day, the staff is always professional, attentive and like family. By the way, they have the best margaritas…I had the passion fruit one with Don Julio!“

“It's a great coffee and breakfast spot!! They have lots of Colombian bakes. My favorite is always Pandebono, which is cheesy, a little sweet roll, I love it with coffee. I had also they healthy breakfast sandwich Bella, which is grilled portobello mushrooms, avocado, lettuce mix, walnuts, carrots, onions, and parmesan cheese and I also added sunny side up egg. It was really good. I'm definitely recommending this spot. ?“

“Enjoyed a delicious and satisfying meal together with a friend. The Bandeja Tipica was a must try, offering a spread of traditional Colombian eats that truly delivered on authentic taste. Steak lovers won't be disappointed by the Entraña cooked to perfection. The restaurant itself has a casual atmosphere, making it a great spot for a relaxed and flavorful dining experience.“

“Amazing food lovely service. Fresh and timely service. Music was great ??Parking: There’s a ton of parking in the area. It’s a predominantly residential region drive acting the block you should find free parking these always metered parking on brucknerKid-friendliness: Our food came in great time. The children received crayons to draw. My girls really enjoyed themselves. Will definitely take them back. Can’t say enough how great the food was. It was great. Come hungry the servings are huge. We took food home with us. No complaints.“

“Authentic Colombian food. From the portion sizes to the seasoning, you can't go wrong ordering some good Colombian food.Personally, I think the menu is way too complex and way too many options. Options that are not even Colombian, which I found unnecessary & distracting. Service was good. However, they brought appetizers and mains at the same time. Given the generous portions, there was simply no room in the table for all the dishes. Drinks were ok & environment, cozy. Def enjoyed my meal & will not hesitate to come back if in the area.P.s: never seen Yuka fries done this way. They were ok. And their green sauce, uffff so good.“

“Atmosphere is beautiful, cozy and warm. The decor is colorful and lends to the excitement of the venue. The staff was polite and attentive. The drinks we ordered was delicious. There are non alcoholic options which was a plus.The food looked attractive and tasted great. The mini arepas sampler was really tiny. There was a ton of topping but the arepas was not to my liking. Too blaah. I was expecting a moist corney bread but it was just like it was an over processed piece of tired dough. I was looking forward to the taste of the streets. Would I return? of course but I'll try another menu item“

“We went here to celebrate my grandmother’s life. While it was an emotional day for my family- Carlos turned it around and gave us the best service. He made excellent recommendations and our orders were on point. He was kind and patient. I am so thankful we had him to make our evening a wonderful night despite missing our grandmother. Thank you Carlos! The staff is excellent- the food is delicious- the drinks are strong ( they have HH too!). We are regulars are this point and will continue to keep coming for great service and delicious food.“

“The granny apple fresh juice is amazing, as well as the gluten free beef empanada and the gluten free chicken+cheese empanada (they are made with corn) each comes with a Verde green sauce which is very flavorful.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options“

“Delighted with the food, the atmosphere in the back and Elberth's attention, which is the best! Always attentive to his clients, super friendly and willing to provide a great experience. That's why every time I can I go to Mr. MarioParking: It is very difficult to find parking. Terrible!“

“A marvelous restaurant. Great atmosphere - obviously very popular with the locals. Great menu, can be adjusted to suit the diners. Huge portions - come hungry! Staff very friendly. Helpful in describing certain dishes etc. Alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks are available. (the lemonade is out of this world!)Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to access. Staff helpful in organizing a table.“

“Great restaurant with great prices, great food, and great music. Service is fast and friendly. Wait time for food is very low. The restaurant is clean, restroom is clean too. There is also a bar inside for anyone wanting a drink. Outside seating available too.I've been several times now and the food never disappoints. Have had the breaded chicken breast with fries, breaded shrimp with rice, beans, salad, and sweet plantains. The bandeja paisa is also very good. The portions are great.“

“Inviting and delicious experience. Food was very flavorful. Tostones with guacamole was a great balanced app. The guacamole was creamy acidic right amount of tomatoes and onions. The arepas didn't disappoint. Lots of meat the arepas were filling, fluffy, chewy the right texture. The decor felt like we were in a garden, leaves, flowers quaint and cozy. The service was perfect. Courteous, friendly and patiently explaining all our questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Will come back again soon!“

“OMG The empanadas were absolutely delicious. I order shredded chicken. They're fried and made of what we call Hojaldre.The empanadas take like 5 or 7 minutes to get prepared it's really fresh but you have to wait.The only little thing I didn't like was that I had to pay almost 1 dollar for a tiny little extra container of their delicious green sauce.It.was so GOOD! 100% RECOMMENDED.They have a bunch of different kindsIt was worth the $5“

“I first ate here in 2012 with about 20 Colombian adoptees and have been back so many times despite not living in Queens. I thought it had a different name, but I recognize the decor. This place was amazing and we went around lunch time. Many of us have friends and family in Colombia and we loved this place so much. I remember going there with a friend and not really knowing for sure how to get there one time as we took the subway, but I was still able to locate it. During that weekend we also went to an overpriced place, attempting to be "upscale" and it was no where in the same category as this restaurant. They other place even ripped us on the bill because there were some many of us and they claimed we "must have bought alcoholic drinks". They ripped us off and a girl had to put it on her credit card to get the reservation and now the bill was about $300 to $375 more and we all knew what we ordered food wise and nobody drank I'm excess so we just all chipped in to cover this rip of. If that's not bad enough they had our event published in some magazine or newspaper. Don't waste your time with those places, go here and you will not be disappointed. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. Ciao.“

“I don't give it five stars because they made us wait a few minutes before making us sit down, there were unoccupied tables and finally a man who was not the waitress seated us, but when it came to quality, quantity, price 100% recommended. I would return without a doubt. Personal recommendation, I have a baby who is learning to eat and I asked for a plate and they brought me one of tableware, which I returned for obvious reasons, so some disposable plates would not be bad for the little ones.“

“I’m so happy that I ignored the reviews and ordered from here anyway. I’m Colombian, so if I think the food is good it’s because it is! Their hot chocolate was authentic and delicious! Their buñuelos are huge which is a plus! The portions of their dishes are perfect. I was extremely happy with my order. I’m so happy that I was able to order through seamless and they delivered to me 2 miles away. My food and drink were hot and fresh! I was so delighted that I even called the restaurant to thank them because their hot chocolate spoke to my soul. I can’t wait to try their soups over the weekend.“

“not a fan of leaving negative reviews, but for the love of jesus, why was my fried fried fish in need of flavor? it looked amazing -- sadly, it didn't taste amazing. the green sauce on the table, same thing: no salt! damnit. it is a dream to make it to JH just for the joy of colombian culinary goodness. once again, mario's (fried fish) failed to impress. and i love fish. ?“

“Stopped in to have an beef empanada and a juice and we were blown away by how good everything was! The juice was fresh and tasty and the beef empanada was one of the best empanadas I've ever tasted. Also the barista was very kind and welcoming. Will definitely come back.“

“Ok so the food here is PRETTY DAM GOOD like I got an arepa and shorty got a arepa as well it was delicious . The ISSUE WAS ITS WAY OVER PRICED IM TALKING ABOUT LIKE COME ON 43 BUCKS FOR 2 AREPA AND 2 DRINKS I WAS STILL HUNGRY AFTER EATING THIS SO U understand portions are on the small side and its pricey but definitely taste great just not worth the price there's tons of other options where u bang for ur buck.“

“Let me tell you, the people who work here know what they are doing. First off, either the owner or manager calls me Reina every time I step in there and they are all just so kind. It has a very Colombian homey vibe, and the food is absolutely delicious. I've gone there a few times already but what truly steals the show are the empanadas for me, every time. They are sooooo freaking good, with a little soupy-potatoey ness inside, and healthy amount of meat. I love coming here!“

“Went here for a breakfast/brunch with my mom and we got the Mexican and Colubian breakfasts along with a coffee each. We also got the guacamole and jalapeños sauces.Coffee was very nice, not too strong and very smooth.My mom loved the Mexican breakfast. The beans were very flavorful and the egg scramble paired very well with pickled jalapeños. The tortillas were nice and hot and didn't break apart even when piled high with beans, rice, and eggs. Highly recommend.I also very much recommend the Columbian breakfast which came with an arepa with cheese, steak, and the same egg scramble. The steak was pretty good. While thin and cooked all the way through, it was crusty, well seasoned, and tender. I poured loads of the jalapeño sauce on top which was great. The arepa was also very nice, crispy bottom and nice gooey cheese.The sauces were also pretty good. I highly recommend the jalapeño sauce. A little kick balanced with a good sour and sweetness. The guacamole sauce was also pretty good, if a bit watery.The portions of the meal were perfectly good and filled you up but for $15 a pop, it's most definitely not an every morning meal.The highlight really was the service. Thr food arrived quickly and hot. The lady at the front desk was very nice and offered for us to finish our meals before paying. She seemed very enthusiastic and was happy to give me more jalapeño sauce when asked.The dining area itself was clean and cute. Nice music and vibes. The cushions on the seats were clean and not deflated and the tables were very clean.Overall, very nice place to eat with some damn good food. If you're looking for a great weekend breakfast/lunch, come here.“

“I have been dining at this wonderful family location for over 20 years that in my opinion should be considered a landmark. The service is unmatched, the Colombian food served here for lack of a better word is "Perfect" every single time I come here the food reminds me so much of my childhood with my own Colombian family. I highly recommend this location nestled in the middle of Jackson heights. So if u want good food, great service and affordability then this place is the spot to come to.Kid-friendliness: Highly family friendly.“

“Great spot to go for a quick casual bite! We got the pernil and ceviche and both were delicious. The pico de gallo was so refreshing to nibble on, especially on a nice summer day. Service was great too! Definitely try to get a spot in the back patio if you can as well.“

“HELLO IF I COULD GIVE 10 STARS I WOULD GIVE IT THE TRUTH THE ATTENTION THE FOOD THE PERFECT ENVIRONMENT I SPENT A NICE AFTERNOON WITH MY FAMILY.ESPECIALLY THE WAITRESS WHO WORKED WITH ME, VERY PROFESSIONAL, FRIENDLY, NICE, THE TRUTH SHE TREATED ME LIKE A QUEEN, AS SHE TOLD ME.IN GENERAL ALL THE STAFF THAT WORKS VERY FRIENDLY.THE ONLY THING WE DIDN'T LIKE WAS THE BEANS BUT I HOPE THEY IMPROVE IT WITH THE SUGGESTION WE GAVE. (The beans weren't bad, it just didn't have Sazón for my taste)100% RECOMMENDED WOULD COME AGAIN“

“I have only had the 'picada" which can easily feed two people. It's made to perfection. Not overfired. the green and red sauces that you get on the side enhances the flavor. This plate is not only delicious but affordable. The restaurant is always clean the staff is friendly.“

“Wanted a light snack and decided to try the empanadas here. Gentleman in the front was very helpful and accommodating, took my order and payment. Food was ready ~10min and was piping hot. Well made, good portion, baked empanadas that were very tasty. I will try other dishes here when in the area with no hesitation.Parking: Double parking or paid/unpaid street parking in the vicinity.Wheelchair accessibility: Manual doors, vestibule with more doors, not wheelchair accessible without assistance.“

“This is by far one of the best bar/restaurant in the neighborhood. I go there often, their stuff is extremely attentive, helpful and good service overall. Their cook is fantastic, and the owners are superb!!. Super recommended for their food, drinks and ambiance. Great salsa-latino vibes.“

“the staff here are angels! the bakery's ambiance feels like home and it's so nice to have a colombian bakery not in queens! the pan de bono, buñuelos, pan de queso are my go tos but love their breakfast and other snack breads and pastries. a neighborhood staple!“

“This is the best place to party!!!!! Super nice environment with good people, good energy .. the best music and a staff. The owner is a down to earth person ..very good with his guests. I recommend this lounge for a nice time!! Always.Toma pa que gocez.❤ ??“

“Absolutely love the food here! IMO, it is hard to find an authentic Colombian joint that serves luscious food and showcases their origin's unique flavor. Each bite delivered a delectable and VERY satisfying punch. From their homemade hearty beef stew to their generous portions of tamales...my family loved every bit of it. All you heard was "WOW" for 5 straight minutes as we all dug into our food. Their bakery also had a wide selection of baked goods, which my kids absolutely loved. All in all, El Punto provides great service, amazing food, and good vibes.“
