I can't say enough good things about this place! The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious from the first bite to the last. My sister moved to Louisiana two years ago and has always said it's been hard to find truly great food, so we were excited to give this place a try--and it exceeded every expectation. The woman who took our order was one of the sweetest people we've met. She was so welcoming, patient, and made us feel right at home, which made the whole experience even better. The tostones were perfection--served hot and crispy on the outside while staying soft and fluffy on the inside. The breakfast arepa was outstanding and paired perfectly with the fresh cilantro dipping sauce. Every bite was packed with flavor, and you could tell everything was made with care. The restaurant itself was spotless, bright, and inviting, creating such a comfortable atmosphere to enjoy a meal. Great food, amazing service, and a clean environment are the perfect combination. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an unforgettable breakfast. It was hands down one of the best breakfasts I've ever had, and I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu! read more

I arrived very early for my flight back home and wanted to get something to eat that wasn't traditional since I've done that already. Cafetomas definitely hit the spot. The place was barely open when I arrived so I had it to myself for a while but soon, plenty regulars came in and joined me. The music is great, and not too loud and I loved how open yet intimate the setup was. My order: cortado, breakfast arepa with plantains, and a carrot/ginger juice because I just got off a cruise and my stomach was still feeling a way. Very nice to have REAL FOOD again. My heart and stomach both left here full to the brim. Thanks! Note: it does come with more plantains but I was too hungry lol read more

I ordered the Panini with Foccaccia bread, pesto, mayonnaise, provolone, cheese, spinach, tomato, caramelized onions you choose a choice of chicken, turkey, ham, or veggie. All of the main dishes are served with fries. I also got Cortado, which is equal parts of sweetened espresso with brown sugar and milk. Service is impeccable. They are super sweet and accommodating. The ambience is calm, inviting and family oriented. read more

I'm honestly surprised this place hasn't popped off yet!! I've been here three times now for breakfast and each time it HITS. This past weekend I got the breakfast wrap and my friend got the omelette with plantain chips and rice. The food tastes so fresh and flavorful. The place is usually full of families getting breakfast and the vibes are super wholesome. It is pretty deep in Kenner and I wouldn't have known about it if it was t recommended to me by a friend. If you ever find yourself in the area or craving a yummy Latin breakfast, definitely the spot to come to!!! read more

Cafetomas Kenner - Wrap and omelette - Cafes Near Me - Kenner, Louisiana

The outside isn't very appealing. It's in a strip mall on the main road that runs parallel to the airport. The inside is totally different. It looks well kept and very clean. The server said Jibarito was popular so I got that with chicken. I don't like cilantro so I asked her to substitute Abuelo sauce on the side for Cafetomas sauce. After I ordered another server started their shift. I'm not sure if I got lost in the mix or if my server forgot about me but I sat there for almost 30 minutes with an empty plate waiting to order a piece of flan. The other server came over and took my order for the flan. I asked for the check at the same time just in case. The flan is not super sweet and it's on the firmer size. I thought it was really good. If it wasn't for the long wait I would have given 5 stars. read more

New Orleans may be the city of indulgence, but let me introduce you to a different kind of decadence--Colombian flavors straight from Cafe Tomás in Kenner. This spot didn't just serve me food; it changed me. The Beef Arepa - A crispy, golden-edged marvel, absolutely stuffed with the most tender, juicy shredded beef I've had in a long time. Every bite was a masterpiece of textures--the crunch of the arepa giving way to rich, perfectly seasoned meat. No notes. Absolute perfection. The Beef Burrito - No rice. No beans. No nonsense. Just pure, melt-in-your-mouth shredded beef wrapped in a warm, pillowy tortilla. This was a burrito that didn't need extra--because when the beef is this good, it is the moment. Elote - Oh, but we are not done. This wasn't just corn--it was a full-blown experience. Charred to perfection, smothered in a creamy, tangy, cheesy concoction that had me licking my fingers between bites. A little heat, a little sweetness, and a whole lot of where has this been all my life? Mangonado - And just when I thought I had reached my limit, this drink swooped in like a hero in a tropical paradise. Thick, luscious mango purée swirled with chamoy and the perfect touch of spice--each sip was a sweet-heat rollercoaster that I never wanted to end. Kenner, you've got a gem on your hands. Cafe Tomás is officially a must-visit. read more

Cafetomas Kenner - Chilaquiles - Cafes Near Me - Kenner, Louisiana

Fast and friendly service from the moment you walk into Cafetomas. Please don't judge the outward appearance of their establishment because the inside is ready to serve you some amazing eats. We chose Cafetomas as an after church lunch spot. Not crowded and can definitely order to-go if you're in a rush. We opted for traditional Arepas and they did not disappoint. Full of flavor and juicy meats, from their chicken and beef options. The outer part was soft and fluffy with a sturdy and crisp texture. Delicious! And did not fall apart. We also tried their Elote, I should have asked for more Valentina but overall was delectable and it was consumed happily. The steak fajitas taco was filled to capacity and more. It was my daughter's favorite, as she ate each piece that fell out from every bite and she left nothing behind. The 2 other tacos were similar, if not the same, meats that was inside our arepas. Still remember the tasty bites of goodness. We hope to return soon to try more of their menu. read more

Cute, clean and busy Latin breakfast/lunch place very close to New Orleans airport. We stared with yummy sweet/savory plantains, followed by arepas, jibaritos and tacos (mixture of chicken and beef). Each were really tasty and well presented. We will be back! read more

First thing after getting off the plane in New Orleans and of all the things we could have eaten, we decide on a Colombian Cafe. I'm really glad we stumbled on this place. The food was fantastic and it was healthiest food we ate on the whole trip. Another benefit was that it wasn't too busy on a Sunday morning, so they let us chill and play cards for a few hours while waiting for the rest of our friends arrive at the airport. I'm going to start with the arepas. Best arepas I have ever eaten. Usually the flatbread is tough or dry. These were fluffy and not dry at all. Fillings were tender and flavorful. Tried both the chicken and meat - both delicious. Jibarito was a nice contrast to the Arepa. Fried green plantains holding the sandwich together give it some nice crunch + starchiness. Beef was well seasoned. Also had a berry berry smoothie. It had the consistency between a juice and a smoothie. I really liked the taste - definitely get berry flavor and it wasn't too sweet or tart. Very refreshing for a muggy day in Louisiana. If you're in the area or need a pick me up before going to New Orleans from the airport, I would highly recommend stopping by Cafetomas Kenner. read more

I've never been at this restaurant. However, looking at the menu, I see no Colombian food listed. It looks more like general Latin American. What they serve may be good, but there is nothing Colombian about it. read more

Very good and fresh! Had the arepas, bagel, and a smoothie. We'll be ordering more tomorrow.

I should have walked away but was leaving New Orleans. Worst service I have ever received . Servers are disrespectful and correct you if you ask for your drink or order. Run to Emerils read more

Cafetomas is very warm and welcoming . My waitress greeted me as soon as I walked in the door and explained that I could sit anywhere I would like. The ambiance is very cozy and homey which is a plus. I ordered the Jamaica tea, and Arepas, one chicken and one shredded beef which came with a salad on the side and both were outstanding! They were so fresh and crispy I will be back very soon!!! read more

Cafetomas Kenner - Chicken and Beef Arepas - Cafes Near Me - Kenner, Louisiana

All the food is EXTREMELY fresh and the arepas had that good crunch you get when something has been nicely crisped up on the grill. It's really close to the airport so I've started taking my out of townets here before bringing them to the airport as a quick brunch/lunch. read more

A MUST TRY! The Arepas were the star of the show!! So so freaking delicious! We ordered an extra 2 because that's how good they were. Of course everything else was good. I recommend you guys order a smoothie of some kind because it's made with fresh fruit and juiced right then and there. I really wanted to try more things but I was just so full. I will most definitely be coming back for more. We had the sweetest lady serving us, she makes you feel at home. All in all the vibes were laid back and chill. Great place to bring friends and family. read more

Delicious food, friendly service with a great ambiance. Stopped for a to go order for myself and a coworker (who's never had Latin food),and ordered a cortadito while I waited for the food to be made fresh. Exactly what I needed and it was delicious! Food was fresh and flavorful. Absolutely delicious and the house made green sauce took the meal to a next level. My coworker couldn't stop taking about the food either. Nela took my order and she's friendly and kind. Recommending this place to everyone. read more

Trying to understand how this place got such high reviews. I ordered a black iced coffee no milk or sugar and had to send it back because she couldn't understand my order, and when I finally got it back it was the weakest iced coffee I've ever had. Just a tiny bit of coffee with way too much ice. Looked like a tea instead of an iced coffee. The detox tea is what saved it from getting 2 stars. Felt like they went too cheap on the coffee. So if you like a good strong black coffee don't go here! read more

Quaint little cafe that looks good on social media but the food is honestly so mid. The Gallo pinto is not good, the eggs were mixed with too many things, and the avocado was still not quite ripe. The tostones were good tho, I'll be honest. But this is "poor people" food! Its suppose to be easy and to the point; this is just not it. It also took a while for the food to come despite only being the second party at the place. The Jamaica juice was also not amazing. Honestly; they have room for improvement, but they should stick to their roots, it's not meant to be hard recipes at all. Nice service tho. read more

I don't eat Columbian food much, but when I do, I make sure to get the best of the best. I highly highly recommend this place! 1.

We highly recommend this restaurant! read more
