Huge variety of dishes and appetizers to choose from! I recommend the pupusas and empanadas as appetizers if you want to try something new. The empanadas were super crispy stuffed with seasoned beef, they were so good with the sauce. The pupusas were big but they lacked cheese. I got the chicharron with cheese but there was barely any cheese. They were still good though, lots of meat inside. For an entree I got the shrimp al ajillo which is kind of like shrimp in garlic sauce. Lots of big pieces of shrimp!! The sauce is super thick and creamy which is perfect to dip tostones in. You can choose 3 sides so I got the rice, beans and tostones. Tostones were big and the beans were big portioned too which I appreciate. I absolutely enjoyed my food and it was my first time trying these dishes! I did order from UberEats so it might have spoiled the freshness of the food but overall it was still great! read more

Traditional food!!! Amazing service! Stop by every week. Fresh food and many options.

Well it is a small restaurant, if you are craving great Colombian food that's the place to go . Take it from a COLOMBIAN! The flavors were mind blowing and the portions omg !! The only reason I don't give it a 5 is because though the service was not bad it could have been way better and the place could be bigger ! But please it doesn't mean I got treated bad :) they were nice ! I usually eat the traditional dish and I had the chicken with mushroom sauce with 3 sides . Also it's not expensive. read more

Very generous portions with their plates and good flavor with their bandeja paisa/montañera!

My friends and I have ordered from here for years. The food and service is great. If you've never had yuka fries before, this is a perfect place to try! My go to is the spicy garlic shrimp with rice, sweet plantains and the yuka fries as sides. The creamy sauce is delicious to dip with the fries and over the rice. Any of their side salads are a great addition to balance the heaviness that the entrees can be. Their beans aren't my favorite but will always come back. read more

Order from this place for work- the service was ten stars. Extremely sweet and accommodating staff. The food here was honestly horrible. Everything was bathing in ketchup. It's possible this is how Colombian food is but the sauces were god awful. I consider my a foodie and this was really unpleasant experience for all my staff including myself. The portions were huge but unfortunately we did not eat any of the food. The most edible thing was the platanos. Also, the doctor I work for found a staple in her food. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Wouldn't feed it to my dog. I appreciate the kindness of the staff and their ability to fill such a large order in a short period of time but will never be able to return again. Two thumbs down. read more

My wife and I ordered the house bandeja paisa, some chicken, rice and maduros for pickup last week. Everything was delicious, the prices are very reasonable and we were provided with gargantuas portions. My only negative was that the version of paisa I ordered came with shredded meat essentially everywhere. This meat was relatively dry and bland and looked unappealingly like rodent droppings. I will try the other bandeja paisa they offer next time which I don't believe has this. Will definitely be back as the covid-19 quarantine eats at my will to cook anything myself... read more

It was delicious & quick service but the beans were kind of weird & the plátanos were undercooked but the people are so sweet & so much food for not a lot of money read more

My mom and I stopped by this spot after doing some errands, we were starving and just quickly looked for something in the area so we decided to come here. We ordered un plato montañero and shrimp in a garlic sauce with plátano maduro and yuca frita. We were going to eat there but ended up ordering it to go because we wanted to watch a movie at home. The lady didn't mind at all and she was super nice. When we got home we opened our food and we're basically drooling, the food smelled sooooooo good!!! And it tasted even better! The beans were immaculate, the plátano amazing, the yuca crispy and delicious, the rice perfect!! I was so happy to have found this place! read more

My friend lives close by and she knew about this place even before we went there. We were going to go to the Colombian place in East Boston but then it was already closed by the time we were done shopping at BJ's and we also had to drop off the stuff to my place and to her place as well. She hasn't been to this place yet but it was really close drive from our house it was only like four minutes drive. It wasn't close to anything else in Lynn but it was a cute tiny place around the corner so we drove with our GPS and followed the directions going to the restaurant. We found a place and we got in. It wasn't that busy since it wasn't really early dinner time or something like that it was kind of like late in the evening already like they're going to close in an hour or an hour and a half around the time that we got there. Came to us and greeted us and ask us if we wanted to go or to just eat at the place so I was like all that's just sad and so we sat and grabbed her order and our food came at a reasonable time. I got the fish fillet with some salad and beans on the side and my friend got empanadas. She loved her empanadas and I love my food as well I love their salad it was amazing. The fish is OK there's nothing special with it. Service is fine for a tiny place like that it was only like six tables inside the area so it's pretty manageable for like maybe four workers including the cooks and other people inside. read more

This restaurant is great . Colombian food is delicious . it feels like my mom just cooked it . it doesn't even feel like restaurant food . it's like eating a nice home cooked meal. read more

Yum! Since we finally tried this place for the first time we haven't stopped coming back! Huge portions and delicious food. The flavor is consistent every time and we are obsessed. My go-to is the pollo marinero and it's absolutely delicious. Eat here, you will not be disappointed! We have ordered through Uber eats and via phone for pickup and the food has always been ready on time. read more

This place is a hidden gem!!! I ordered delivery using UberEats. Food was AMAZING!! Everything was still hot and everything was delicious!

Finally a delicious Colombian restaurant in Lynn! The meals feel home cooked taking me back to my grandma's cooking. A must if you are craving traditional dishes in Lynn. read more

Such great service and authentic colombian food! We need more colombian restaurants in the north shore. Glad to know they have authentic and savory empanadas made with masa. read more

Food was amazing! I had the Steak sautéed with onions tomatoes, with rice beans and egg. My partner had the pork fried rice with fried pork. ...and of course we had to have the empanadas and bunuelos. Neither of us are Hispanic, but I grew up in a heavily Latino area in New York. This was on par with my favorite Colombian restaurant in New York. I would like the ahi to be a bit more on the hot side, but that was really the only thing that could be done differently, from my perspective. Thanks! read more

I ordered food (via Uber eats) it was terrible. The calamari was over fried, the portions where so small! I ordered a salmon plate with rice and beans they gave us a over cooked tiny piece of salmon with the smallest amount of rice ever seen! The portions perfect for a small child. It was not a $15 plate of food. Lesson learned! Maybe its better in person but the take out was horrible! Waste of $60 worth of food! read more

Small little cafe in a corner that looks like a house... hard to tell it's actually a restaurant if you were just driving by. Probably the only Colombian cuisine in Lynn. However, it is a cute little place with good food and friendly people. Definitely recommend. read more

I really don't recommended unless you like burn and terrible food. The delivery time is terrible it takes one hour and twenty minutes for delivery. Yes they are very friendly but friendliness should go along with the quality of the food. Just because is cheap doesn't mean the food should look and taste bad. read more

I love love love Colombian food! This restaurant is dishing out excellent food well flavored and well-executed

Even though its located in a crappy neighborhood, this spot is reasonable as far as price for Colombian "fast food". Delicious empanadas, arepas etc: . Hope to go back soon and try other items on the menu ..but be cautious and keep an eye on your car. Again its in a bad neighborhood. read more

Stayed at a nearby Airbnb and this place was our best decision at our stay here! Small place but the food and hospitality makes up BIG time. Large portions for low price. read more

Just got delivery from this place and it was amazing. Huge portions, delicious food. Really quick preparation. I will definitely order from here again! Yum read more

The best Colombian food in Lynn, and probably in the North Shore.

Café Columbia has amazing food, and usually good service. But when they get a little busy, the service becomes low-quality and servers catch attitudes. I come here often but today I waited 40 minutes just to be waited. read more
