Food trucks have been around for quite some time, but finding a cluster of them in a single…read morelocation in Riverside is rather new to me. On a sparsely traveled side street that separates the Target parking lot from the 91 freeway, is an attraction that will have you slamming on your brakes and craning your neck to see what the fuss is all about. The day we came, a Sunday afternoon, there were about 10 different, brightly colored trucks lined up along the curb, lights flashing, music blaring, and lines starting to form. You can park your car in the adjacent parking lot, there's plenty of room! Yes, this a very successful food truck according to Yelp. And by far the most patronized truck I saw that day. Inside the tiny galley kitchen are 4 hustling adults, including sweet Isabelle, the food ambassador of a husband and wife duo. I loved her enthusiasm and bright smile. At this point, I want to mention that Columbian taste buds are more finicky than many of their Central and South American brothers. So do not expect hot chile anything. Their palates prefer milder, not spicy foods, even though one of the sauces served with the empanadas was a garlicky, bright, herbal, oily sauce, not unlike the Argentinian chimichurri sauce. They call it aji (ah hē). I find it very addictive. Bandera Paisa - this is a combo plate that features a fat, Columbian chorizo (a non spicy sausage), a pile of moist shredded beef, a large strip of pork belly, white rice, Columbian red beans, a fried egg, avocado, and several pieces of fried sweet plantain. There is also one Cheese Arepa included. This dish can easily be shared by two and is a phenomenal deal and interesting taste adventure. Beef Arepa. This is basically a fried masa pocket substantially filled with their signature shredded beef, then topped with guacamole and white cheese. This is very similar to their beef empanadas, so I would encourage ordering one or the other, not both. It's big. Beef Empanadas (3). This is not your usual empanada. The generous beef filling is made from their sensational slow-cooked, flavorful shredded beef with a hint of corn and vegetables. The pastry is actually made of a coarse grained masa, formed into the traditional moon-shape, then deep-fried. It is heavier and far more filling than what I am accustomed to, but it has a chewy, coarse textured mouth appeal and rich flavor. One order is 3 empanadas. They offer an interesting variety of drinks, the most notable being their iced Columbian coffee (intensely rich, creamy, and sweetened) and a Passion Fruit Slushy that is an exotic fruity perfection. Both are pre-made and served out of a dispenser. Columbiana soda, plus other sodas and juices, are available in bottles and cans. The only downside is the seating. A few wooden tv trays and canvas folding chairs are set up on the uneven dirt adjacent to the sidewalk. It appears that using the sidewalk is off limits for seating. I loved their cute, vibrant Cuban music, but oftentimes it became overwhelming as it competed with another truck's equally loud Mexican music right next to them. That, and the seating, effectively convinced me that eating my food elsewhere was probably a better idea, even though sweet Isabelle was frequently checking in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Our bill was really reasonable, considering the amount of food we had. It was approx. $42, and there was plenty to bring home for another day.

My wife and I enjoy and encounter and try different cuisine from other nationality because of the…read moreflavors they use and depth of flavors in the ingredients they use in their dishes. My wife and I went to El Molinito restaurant in Pico Rivera just across the street from Walmart. This our first time trying Colombian cuisine,I have eaten Colombian cuisine before I enjoy the flavors and depth of flavor of the food. We're greeted by the owner of the restaurant she told us we can sit anywhere in the restaurant and we did find a table. She came and hand us the menu then she our drinks order we both order coffee. The restaurant is very nice e cozy little restaurant of full of Colombian adornments that you feel you are in Colombia. We both decided to order the Huevos Pericos it's scramble eggs Colombian style it comes with rice and Arepa with cheese. It's like a Salvadoran Pupusa but Colombian version of the pupusa. The waitress brought our meal it looks so good and delicious and the aroma was overwhelming from the Arepa and the Huevos Pericos or scrambled eggs. I try the scramble eggs they so good incredible flavors in the egg including the other ingredients like the tomatoes and onions and spices they use in the egg they were fluffy and good. The rice was amazing it have good flavor in the rice and fluffy that we enjoy. The Arepa was so good like a pupusa but cheesy that I really like including the cheese they use in Arepa. Overall we enjoy the food at the El Molinito restaurant, we come back again and try different items from their menu.

If you're looking for the BEST Colombian food in Los Angeles, stop scrolling and go to Encanto!…read moreThis place is a true hidden gem inspired by the magic of the Disney movie, and yes, it's just as colorful and full of heart. We started with some small bites that were honestly not that small (portions are generous and full of flavor!), then moved on to their most popular dishes. The Bandeja Paisa? A 10/10. The Cazuela? Perfect for a hangover. And the Picada? A family recipe straight from Doña Claudia, the owner's mom. You can taste the love. What made the visit even more special? Latin superstar Daniel Mondragón stopped by and gifted a signed guitar to the owner. It was a moment of pure magic! The ambiance, the service (shout out to Claudia!), the music, the food, everything makes this spot unforgettable. Add Encanto to your bucket list and thank me later.

Pero siguen con la misma excusa: "el filtro está dañado", y llevan más de 2 meses con lo mismo. Claramente lo hacen para obligarte a comprar sus bebidas caras. Mientras escribía esto, el dueño sarcásticamente me preguntó si trabajo para la ciudad de Los Ángeles -- muy gracioso. ¿La comida? Mediocre (60/40), porciones pequeñas, unas 10 personas en la cocina sin la debida protección al manipular alimentos. Me llevé la comida para llevar y terminé dándosela a un indigente. No pienso regresar. English : The waiters were OK, but the owner was rude. As a paying customer in California, I requested a glass of water -- legally, they're required to provide it. Instead, they keep using the same excuse: "the filter is broken" -- for over 2 months. Clearly, they just want to force you to buy overpriced drinks. While writing this, the owner sarcastically asked if I work for the City of LA -- very funny. Food? Mediocre at best (60/40), small portions, about 10 people in the kitchen with no proper protection while handling food. I took the food to go and ended up giving it to a homeless person. Won't be coming back.
