I love the rotisserie chicken, their beans with a fried egg and rice, the fresh avocado, plantains, the crispy chicken plantains (platanitos) and they offer a variety of beer, sodas, and other imported drinks. Highly recommend

Súper delicioso!!…read more Memphis needed a spot like this one. I've been coming with the fam for years and can't believe I never posted a review! Let me first say to those reading this, IT IS NOT a Mexican restaurant. Is authentic Colombian food. The bandeja paisa, the churrasco plate, the empanadas, the soups, the rice, the beans, the fried plantains.....I could go on!!! The service could be chaotic when is crowded but, they will still make you feel welcome when you're there. The place is nice and humble. Nothing fancy but clean and the waitresses are respectful and attentive. Ours favorite waiter is Vanessa!! Please give it a try!! (Sorry I didn't take any pics, i was too busy stuffing myself like a turkey)

Truly, hard to imagine this place isn't packed all the time! If you haven't had Venezuelan food, you really need to try this spot. Cachapa is the corn pancake you never knew you were missing! I would also order this to go, though I fear the items would steam and lose their crispiness on the ride.

I had "pollo a la parrilla" the chicken was dry the rice bland the French fried dried up like they where made 30-45 mins before just reheated. The only thing I enjoyed was my Guanabana shake. I was also eating there with my family and half of us just stopped eating half of our lunch. My kids also did not eat and enjoy their food as well. The arepas where hard and bland as well. There where other items on the menu that the restaurant didn't offer to eat that most Colombian spots offer. Hopefully other Colombian spots in the Memphis area can live up to authenticity.

Not sure what the cilantro based sauce they served is but it was quite delicious!! We will be going back again. They had a special with two whole chickens and potatoes with 10 empanadas and a two liter drink for $39.99 A feat for a family at a budget price!

The lamb sliders remain my go-to. They're consistently juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly every time. Paired with the crispy fries, it's a meal that never disappoints. This visit, I ordered a Sidecar, but the bartender didn't have every ingredient needed for the traditional recipe. Instead of saying no, they created their own twist--and it was absolutely delicious. Sometimes improvisation pays off, and this cocktail was proof. The salmon was also excellent. I ordered it prepared the original way instead of the new menu version that includes Brussels sprouts, and it was exactly what I was craving. One of the highlights of the visit was an unexpected surprise from our waiter, who brought us a sample of their avocado ice cream. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was creamy, smooth, and surprisingly delicious. It was a thoughtful gesture that added to an already great dining experience. The only disappointment? They no longer offer the flight sampler. I was genuinely sad to see it gone because it was one of my favorite ways to experience several menu items in one visit. Overall, Babalu continues to deliver excellent food, attentive service, and outstanding drinks. Even with the flight no longer available, it's still one of my top recommendations in Memphis. 5/5 Stars - Consistent quality, excellent hospitality, and a place I'll gladly keep returning to.

Located just off Summer Avenue in a strip mall that has definitely seen better days, Papuseria…read moreAnita is a hidden gem located on the east side of Memphis. I am infatuated with the Salvadoran culinary delight known as the papusa. Pillowy pockets of meat and cheese hidden in what can best be described as a pancake like package, this is a food that someone should be passionate about. I ordered two papusas, an asada taco and a chorizo taco (total was $9.50). The food arrived rather quickly and I waited in a storefront that they converted into a dining room of sorts. Oh, I think it bears mentioning that the food truck is in a converted Winnebago (it just adds to the "cool" factor). I have had better papusas, but these were solid. They should be proud of their papusas. I am just a papusa snob. The tacos, particularly the chorizo one, were very good. All in all a very good dining experience.

Met with great customer & a small line (3 ppl max). The cashier was making drinks and taking orders while being prompt and charismatic. The wait staff on point as well. Cleaned our table off with quickness so we could sit outside. I ordered Esquites, Dama with Rous, Sandwich Venezolano (not pictured) with a Juan Famous margarita & a mangorita. My bf enjoyed his chicken sandwich and gave it a 8.5/10. Next time will try the pulled pork one. The Dama is super delicious. It's like a lighter version of beef stew in my opinion. The fresh cilantro has a refreshing taste to the dish - 10/10. The Esquites was oddly enjoyable. The tajin made it a little tart but it's basically just as the cream corn I grew up eating - 8/10. Now the star of the show is them RITAS. 20oz of pure goodness. If you come on certain days - the Juan marg is only 3.95 with your meal. That's a good steal in my book. We were able to get a regular and a mango marg. The mango was super juicy and packed with flavor. I dropped a couple pieces into my drink to make it fruiter and it works. Kinda strong drinks but no one is going to that as a compliant from me lol. Please give this place a try. It's located in crosstown and they help support international cuisine. #MemphisEats
