Muy muy rico la comida, especialmente los tostones con ogado y carne y tambien la arepa con queso y carne. Las empanadas estaban un poquito seca pero grandesitas. Servicio rapido y amables. Service was quick and the staff was friendly. The food was really good, don't let the shopping center front fool you. This place deserves more business. The natural juices were also so yummy and served in a huge cup. read more

Good food and good prices. We've never had Columbian food before but wanted to try it. The portions were huge! I had to use Google Translate for some of my order, I didn't know how to say mushroom in Spanish. read more

We went to a wedding a couple weeks ago and this company (aka) Augie's Catering provided the food. I was really underwhelmed by the flavor....there was none. I'm not sure what the entree was but to our table we called it watery chicken stew. The broccoli with cheese was brown and the roasted potatoes were actually ok. I'm sorry , I really don't like to have to leave reviews like this but everyone at the table agreed. Owners, please taste test your items before sending them out. It's your name on the product so I would think that would be an important step to take to make sure your food gets rave reviews. read more

I stopped by Columbian Cuisine for takeout on Father's Day. Located in a shopping center off of Westheimer in the Energy Corridor, Columbian Cuisine is a neighborhood Columbian restaurant. While they really could have gone with a more creative name, don't judge a book by its cover. This was my first time trying Columbian food and I'll be back! I ordered the bandeja paisa which is a variety of goodness: steak, sausage, fried pork belly, rice, beans, a fried egg, plantains, and a corn patty. They have a small portion for $11.95 and a large portion for $13.95 and you get a lot of bang for your buck! The portions are so generous that this is going to easily last me three meals. I loved the variety and how delicious everything this dish had to offer was. The only thing that was a little bland was the corn patty. All in all, delicious food at an affordable price. Added bonus: 6% cash back on Yelp. read more

I've never dined here, but my roommate and I get take out from here pretty regularly. He is Colombian and after checking out some places we decided to try this one out and we've become total regulars. The service is always quick and friendly and the food is always on point and very affordable. My roommate always gets the bandeja paisa and empanadas. I usually get the rice and vegetable combo with a side of yucca. Everything is always delicious and the portions do not disappoint. read more

Not impressed with the front of the store but man was I BLOWN away by the food. We were recommended this location by the reception hall we're using for our wedding and I almost turned it down due to the front and location of the building. I'm GLAD I didn't! We tried almost every item on the menu and ended up flipping a coin between the house chicken and Chicken chipotle. The owner was there and he made sure everything was beautifully served and cooked properly. I HIGHLY recommend this place to ANYONE looking for a caterer or family dinner. The crispy chicken was phenomenal, as well as the chicken curry, the fish was on the top five for our decision, we decided on the steak chimichurri and chicken chipotle as our mains, the saffron rice and mixed veggies as our sides and the Caesar salad. We would've missed out on a great vendor if I turned it down like I wanted to when we pulled up. Goes to show that you should never judge a book by its cover. Thank you Gabriella for the amazing experience! read more

What in the heck took me so long to try this place?? I think I was frightened away from the dismal outer shell it is in. We decided to stop in here one night, as we drive by it all the time. Each time I say, "We should try that" but cruise on by. It's not exactly tempting from the road, but don't judge this 'book by its cover'! Once inside it was a bit better - still a little past it's prime. Don't' know that I would take anyone here to impress them with its interior design, but the food will make up for it. Our waitress was very nice and attentive which was great. It certainly made us feel good that we chose to come in. The menu had lots of choices. I'm not too familiar with Columbian food, but the descriptions and photos made it sound great! We opted for two of the fish dishes. Filete Mediteraneo - Sautéed olives capers mix peppers white wine and tomato sauce and Filete Cajin.. To start they bring chips with this really yummy creamy green dipping sauce. Dinners also came with salad or lentil soup. We tried each and both were really good. Very fresh green (not iceberg or romaine) salad too! I enjoyed the soup very much as well. The fish dishes were served with rice and plantains. The portions large with flavor to match! I was so pleasantly surprised by this place. I can't wait to get back there and try other dishes! Very reasonably priced too! read more

Simple place in a unremarkable strip mall on Westheimer by Hwy 6. It's been here forever and because of the looks, I always would skip it and try something else. But then one day I figured it has been here so long, why not. It was a solid meal and since then I go there for lunch about twice a month because of the good food, fast pleasant service and it's never really crowded at lunch. I love the soups and the fish entries. My current favorite is the Cazuela de Mariscos. Other favs include the ceviche mixto and that fantastic green salsa. Again nothing fancy, but a good meal. read more

This place was a complete disappointment. My boyfriend found it on TripAdvisor and the menu is not the same at all. He is from Colombia and he said the only thing that was Colombian was the bandeja paisa. The food was ok, I could have stayed home and made it myself and it would have been tastier. The veggies on my plate are from that Asian medley frozen veggie bad from Birdseye. He ordered the picada (we've had better picada from la Olla on hwy 6). I had the red snapper in mojo de ajo. It was over cooked in my opinion. Service was friendly. Place was dingy and they were playing Mexican rock lol. The menu had tacos, fajitas, Mediterranean and even creole. We came here because the TripAdvisor review and menu made it seem legit Colombian. But it was the worst Colombian restaurant we've been to in Houston. read more

I've been here several times over many years and have always been satisfied with the food and service. I never went with anyone from Columbia who could explain or recommend anything to try. I've always winged it using the pics on yelp and or the descriptions on the menu. Seems to work! This last visit was a bit of a surprise as far as the interior. They put curtains up and made the place much darker inside which is weird. I kind of miss the light coming in. Regardless, I recommend to give this place a try at least once. read more

I decided to give a try since I get stuck in the traffic light front of this place all the time plus I wanted to try something different. From outside and from the road does not seems inviting but wanted to try anyways. Once you enter is really nice with greek colums and beautiful chandeliers. We were quickly greet and you can choose were you want to seat. They do have working high chair for the little one. Is important to me find a place that the straps in the chair are actually working. My server was very attentive and friendly. They do have variety of music. The pictures around are really nice, good decoration. You get right away some chips with a really good and tasty green sauce, i think is avocado. My daughter did love the sauce, she was dipping everything in this sauce. As far the drinks and food they have excellent presentation and really good portions. Is really worth your money. There are lot of variety in the menu. Im from Puerto Rico and this place have a lot of dishes we eat. It just feels home in a way. I did not have room to try dessert but will do next time. I will definitely coming back with family memebers and friend to this little jewel. read more

Ok, so I'm not Columbian but this was the best non-Mexican food I've ever had. The restaurant is in a sort of slummy shopping center, but when you enter it is very nice and clean inside. The waitress came to our table very quick and answered all our questions about the menu. For the appetizer we had goat cheese on plantains, I think. It was really good! For entree we had paella, seafood quesadilla and fish. All was delicious and came out in a very timely manner. I loved how the food tasted so fresh and authentic. The paella was to-die-for! I've made paella at home and this blew mine totally out of the water. Next time I go I'm getting one of those shakes!!! read more

Having spent a considerable amount of years in Colombia, I found the food appetizing, but not really authentic. The Ajiaco to be sublime, but I had to ask for capers. Capers and avocado added to the soup makes it nice and creamy. But, why ask this gringo? The service is pleasant each time and the decor old world style is welcoming. Not sure why they serve Italian dishes as well. read more

This is the very first restaurant that my husband took me to when we first started dating a few years ago & we decided to come back to reminisce. It is even better than I remembered. My husband is from the east coast & really knows his authentic ethnic food & he swears by this place, which is why he brought me here the first time. Great food, freshly prepared, awesome quantity and the price/value is phenomenal. The only thing that could have been better were the empanadas, they were kind of chewy & the batter is not to my preference but everything else was perfect. Service was great, very friendly and helpful. Of course we will be back. read more

I'm suspecting the lady taking the orders and handling the money is the owner. She's super friendly and kind, reminds me of going to my friends house and her mother always cooking Colombian food for me with a genuine smile and joy on her face. I was in a rush so I ordered my food to go, something quick and easy to eat. I ordered 6 empanadas and an order of chicharron. While I was waiting she brought me chips and dip! Who serves you food while you sit and wait for your to go order?! The empanadas were deliciously authentic and the chicharron was crispy and hot. I will definitely be back and actually dine in and try many other dishes that look quite appealing. read more

I had never eaten Colombian food before my husband brought me here, but I do know that this food was delicious. If you like trying new cuisines, please come try this. It reminds me of food in Argentina mixed with food from the Caribbean - muy delicioso! The waiters and waitresses are all proficient in English and have always been very helpful and pleasant. read more

This place can be great, or it can be mediocre. Unfortunately, I haven't found a great way to determine what days are the best to go or what. The best things on their menu are their fresh fruit juices and their ceviche. Everything else is not that great. I've tried their steaks, some other seafood dishes, as well as some pasta, and I just wasn't a fan. The pasta in particular was actually kind of gross, as it seemed a lot like leftovers with the really dry tomato "sauce" and too much flavor of olives. The location is comfortable and it's never completely full so you can go and relax. I've seen families, couples, and individuals eat here with no problems. Service is a bit iffy sometimes, and great others. Even with the same wait staff, you really don't know what you're going to get from one visit to the next. I think this place doubles as a hangout for the family and friends of the owners, so they must go off into a corner to talk to each other sometimes instead of serving customers. I can't come up with any other logical conclusion. I will gladly return here for the ceviche, but that would be about it. read more

Five star is not enough! Perfect service & the best timing for ur food to come out! It came out fresh sizxiling & a freaking huge portion. I think its at best to order 1 meal per 2 people the portions are huugggee & delicious. This place is a gem! read more

Whew! Its not often Im insired to write anything about a restaurant but Colombian warrants something special. Service? Helpful, attentive, friendly without being the least bit overbearing. Food? It seemed as if we had been transported to the verdant green jungles of South America! The flavors were delicately melded into creamy rich sauces and the shrimp/pork loin with mushrooms and sauteed onions was just plain GREAT food! My wife had the Arroz Valenciania, kind of a Colombian take on paella, and folks she doest even EAT rice...at all. It is that good! We will go back! Its nice to eat truly good food and enjoy a few smiles from the staff all in one dining experience. Thanks! read more

This place is so great. But be aware, their lunch portion is HUGE!! I had the crispy Pork belly, sausage, beef, egg served with rice and black beans. The portion was so big That I was only able to finish the egg and part of the crispy pork belly. Do come with an empty stomach!! read more

I finally forced myself to pull into the EXTREMELY nondescript strip center, to try this restaurant. I wasn't expecting much, as far as ambience, but was hoping for good food. Was I surprised! It was very nicely decorated. Somewhat elegant. We had the ceviche, which was excellent, the Sopa de Pescado y Camaron--very tasty & generously portioned and the Bistek Veracruz, skirt steak with grilled onions, peppers & mushrooms, topped w/a very tasty tomato sauce. I intend to return & suggest you join me. It was a friday,& we were the only diners, when we arrived--not a good thing. Nice wine list, also, with offerings from New Zealand, Chile, Argentina & Washington state. read more

I've only visited once, so I'm not sure if I can give 5 stars quite yet. While tasty, the saffron rice and chicken plate I ordered left a bit more to be desired...I thought it could have been richer in seasoning. The tostones (fried non-sweet plantain) accompanying the rice plate and lentil soup appetizer were on point! The fried sweet plantains were also delicious as well. As a person of Caribbean descent, I was looking for a reminder of homestyle cuisine and totally fulfilled my plantain craving here!! Customers definitely get their value here as entrees have large portion sizes (I made 3-4 meals with leftovers)! The waitress on staff was very pleasant and attentive. read more

Amazing food. The Plato paiza was absolutely delicious. Order large and you'll have enough for another meal. The picadillo appetizer is large enough for a dinner and it's so good. The service was absolutely attentive and the place is nice inside. Loved this place. I am only giving it 4 stars because it was my first Colombian restaurant. But i might change it to 5 soon. read more

Great food! We tried the empanadas as a appraiser and they were beyond great! My friend and I shared our main plate. Unfortunately I don't remember the name of our dish but it was a good size for two people. The food did not take to come out, and the service was very friendly. My drink did not go empty and when I requested something it was brought right away. The restaurant is clean and kept up with. The location is in a place you will never imagine. It's located in a random shopping strip next to a paint store. If you directly never drive in front of it, you'd never know it's there. I will definitely be returning and recommending to other. read more
