    Chilaquiles de Pollo y Carne Asada en salsa verde
    Kimberly L.

    Such an awesome spot! The staff was extremely friendly and the service was so fast. We came here for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon, it wasn't so packed. Our server made great recommendations. We decided to order chilaquiles with salsa verde. My boyfriend order it with carne asada and I got it with chicken. Both were so good. I'm not that great with spicy food but it was still flavorful and tolerable. The ambiance was very family oriented and cozy. We are definitely coming back here.

    Food is good and service too. However, the place is dirty. I feel that if they took care better of their place it would be much better the experience.

    Fried steak sandwich ... It was very tasty!

    Ate there earlier today while working in the area based on all you yelpers & your reviews I never normally order something like this but got the fried steak sandwich ( not sure what it's called). It was good . Considering the fact that the steak is thin... It was pretty amazing that it wasn't over cooked . It was yummy. I think next time I'm in the area I'll order something they're better known for such as their tacos etc. Definitely a dive & authentic which I like. (You know.... Diners, dives & drive thru s ) Lots of locals & construction worker types) Waiter didn't speak English all that well. Worth anther visit!

    Great food. Would be happy to return despite the mediocre service. As this was my trip to Gabino's Diner, I was unsure what to expect. Although the outside might be a bit off putting (recommend parking in the strip mall parking lot located next door), the inside was popping! My party had a bit of trouble understanding the menu choices, but we ended up ordering the enchilada de pollo and three tacos de carnitas. Also, I'm still lost on what the mysterious red sauce was.

    This is not a fancy dining place. It's 'mom and pop'. But the food is great. Large portions.

    Food was horrible, never again. It was picked up, and…read moreservice mediocre. Ambience very quiet.

    This review is not the easiest for me to write. I have been coming to the Little Columbian…read morerestaurant since 2015. I loved this place, their food was fantastic and the quality was super consistent; an excellent spot to get together with friends or a date. So much attention to detail was paid, house made dressing, salsa, all ingredients were super fresh, the meats were always cooked excellently, and the staff was friendly. I hadn't been to the restaurant in a while but at some point in the last few years the Little Columbian restaurant became My little Columbian restaurant. My friends and I went there for dinner at the end of October, there was one couple that was leaving the restaurant but we were the only ones there when we first walked in. The vibe of the restaurant has changed because they changed how they decorated the interior of the restaurant. I prefer their older vibe but no big deal. Our waitress was nice and very attentive all night and the staff in general was quite friendly. Here's my issue, the food quality is not as good as it was in the past. And if they are going to charge along the same lines as what they have, always been on the pricier side, then the quality should still be at the same level. There were a bunch of little things that added up. To start, the salad I ordered didn't have the same quality of greens (I think they used a spring mix in the past), there were some small bits of core in the salad. More to my disappointment the Salad dressing was no longer the house dressing they used to make it was Ken's balsamic dressing, which generally tastes like diabetes syrup. Maybe it was an off night for the salad and I could live with that but the lack of the old house dressing was disappointing. Speaking of cutting corners, the chimichuri used to be super fresh and of good quality ingredients. The chimichuri this time around had a lower quality olive oil and the parsley was dried instead of fresh. My friend ordered some empanadas, which were partially burnt and again the slasa wasn't the same quality as they used to make with the empanadas. For an entree, I ordered Bandeja Columbiana. The chicharon was a bit overdone but ok enough. The chorizo was probably the best part but you have to try to mess up chorizo. The maduro was kind of dry and somewhat bland. The chicken was a touch rubbery and the steak was fine; nothing to write home about. As I had mentioned before the food wasn't terrible, it was fine enough but it was not worth the price it cost. Much worse is the fact that the quality in general just isn't the same as it had been prior, maybe they just had an off night but something tells me this is how it is now. It's too bad this restaurant isn't quite what it was; it used to be one of my favorites.
