Good food , good service
Excellent. I'm no expert on Colombian eats but I'm certain this place is among the very best in the Nation.
I had the most fantastic dinner experience at this Colombian gem! From the moment we walked in, the warm and friendly servers made us feel right at home. They even spoke Spanish. Each dish was a delight, and I couldn't get enough! As if that wasn't enough, as we wrapped up our meal and noticed it was closing time, they surprised us with a generous serving of pan de bono – on the house! The perfect sweet ending to a perfect meal. I'm counting down the days until I can return and try their Colombian breakfast. This place is a true hidden gem, and I can't recommend it enough. ¡Gracias por la experiencia maravillosa!
Authentic and delicious food. Good prices and large portions. If you want real Colombian food this is a must try. This definitely feels like a locals spot and I felt out of place when I came in but ultimately glad I did. When I came It looked like a dedicated group of regulars were there to watch a soccer (fútbol) match. They were loudly cheering adding to the fun and casual atmosphere.
Good service and food, definitely a nice restaurant to stop by
Classic, long time Colombian restaurant by exit 9 in Stamford. Good lomo saltado and great empanadas. They have gotten more expensive but the empanadas are priced pretty reasonably still. Lomo is now around 22 which makes it priced average when compared to other restaurants. Good parking in front and lady at the counter was very nice and friendly. Had no problem ordering despite not speaking Spanish.
11/10/24 —-This morning, we set off on the drive to MSC Meraviglia, but I thought, “Why not start the day with some Colombian flavor?” I found a small Colombian spot open at 8 am, just five or six minutes from the hotel. As we drove, the scenery shifted—a little less polished than our hotel area. My husband looked a bit skeptical, but we made it just fine. The restaurant was a classic mom-and-pop joint, kind of like El Paisa back in Rhode Island. I wasn’t exactly hungry, but curiosity won me over. Walking in, we saw blue tables in a cozy little space. As soon as we sat down, Ana Gabriel’s song Luna started playing in the background. I couldn’t help but share a few random facts I remembered about her with my husband—who, bless him, pretended to be interested. Our server, Paola, greeted us warmly. I ordered scrambled eggs mixed with rice and an arepa on the side—simple but really good! My husband went off-menu, asking for scrambled eggs with toast. No toast in sight, so he settled for croissants. The coffee? Let’s say it was a solid “okay.” I couldn’t resist grabbing a boñuelo from the pastry counter. Before I knew it, I’d eaten way more than planned, but no regrets—it was exactly what I needed. Not fancy like last night’s spot, but sometimes simple food just hits right. Now I’ve got not one but two Colombian restaurants saved for future visits here. Alright, off we go to the MSC boarding process in Brooklyn!
Still one of the best places for traditional Colombian cuisine in Connecticut, yet very accommodating to our friends who weren't quite ready for the full experience. Excellent selection at the bakery. As a side note, most Colombian baked goods use corn starch rather than flour, so they are naturally gluten free).
