I have been going to this little corner restaurant for quite a while now... I feel they have slowly evolved into a full service establishment... liquor and all. Went in for a few empanadas and they didn't have as many as I wanted. Asked me to wait 10 mins. to complete my order but took twice as long. Their empanadas have definitely been put on an inflationary diet (in order to keep their price low, I suppose). They were pretty good as they had freshly come out the frier. They do NOT provide you with plastic shopping bags any more... sort of a bad thing when you are taking a bunch of oily empanadas to go. read more

Solid place for Colombian food - I would recommend the steak over the empanadas. We ordered the Entrana, which comes with skirt steak, chimichurri, and 2 sides - I chose the coconut rice and plantains. The steak was cooked well though the chimichurri was a bit too oily for my liking. The rice and plantains were delicious. The empanada sampler was a cool concept, but I just wasn't a fan of how fried and thick the empanada casing was. But overall the environment is nice and the service is kind. read more

Great customer service, loved the fresh blended passionfruit drink, very refreshing. The morcilla was dry, seemed to be sitting under the lamp a while. Wasn't bad tasting. Has a more cumin and fat forward morcilla, instead of my blood. The beef empanada was fresh and had great flavor. My friend didn't like it, but I didn't like the chicken empanada but she did. The Bunelo was so good and so was the other baked goods here. Definitely worth a try. read more

I've only come here for bakery items but their breads are super fresh, the guava empanadas are delicious, the person working is nice and attentive and all in all it's a quiet bakery with delicious items. My only wish is that they add more savory items to the selection. read more

We ordered half a rotisserie chicken that came with two sides, rice and beans , which was almost 19$, to get the most dried out chicken you imagine! No taste, no juice. Taste like paper. The rice looked like it was just tossed around, lumpy and stuck together, with running sauce no firm beans. 15 years I passed that place and always wondered what the food was like, I should of kept dreaming. read more

I had the Mini bandeja and it was okay. I also order the guacamole on green plantains amd found it flavorless. The icing on the cake was the tip suggestion. It was done with faces and if I only tipped 15% I was a frown. I found it obnoxious. read more

Stopped by here for brunch and it did not disappoint. I've picked up pastries here from time to time (pan de bono is my fave!) and it's been fresh every time. The service here is very friendly and attentive. Ambiance is great. The mixed meat arepa and seafood paella were well seasoned and had great flavor. The caramel flan was classic. We washed it down with some delicious cocktails as captioned in the pics. The owners were pleasant to talk to. This is a great place to stop by for bread+coffee, an authentic Colombian meal, or to just kick some cocktails back during a long workday! read more

A lovely local neighborhood spot. Once you step in, you know you're ready for a good meal from the decor to the music. When we came only two people were working and although service was a bit slow, you could really tell they were working really hard and still super attentive to you. We got the picada sampler and it was so filling. It lasted two people, two meals but it was delicious. Get some mini buñuelos as you wait. Food did not disappoint and do not sleep on the green sauce!! read more

Lots of food for a good price. My favorite is the bandeja paisa. The seafood paella is alright. It's a little too heavy on the clams for my preference and the rice is on the mushy side but they put a lot of seafood so it's a great deal. read more

The food was not good, lack flavor. The grilled chicken had nothing on it. Didnt like their cocunot rice. The fish was ok, but that rice nope. Honestly I think the chef doesnt even taste what he/she cooks. The buñuelos and coffee was the only good think I got. read more

A very nice, clean, and friendly Colombian-style eatery. Our steak was just great! Defo wort a visit if you're in the neighborhood.

If it's good enough for J Balvin it's good enough for me. Solid Colombian food, empanadas and those bunuelos (a must with coffee) are what I usually get. read more

Being that this was so close to the train station, it definitely was a given fact that we would give it a go here. Came in for a Colombian breakfast that was fairly large in size, but I didn't love the flavors enough to continue eating. Gata Golosa also offers a bunch of baked items that I see a lot of people pick up, but I just wasn't looking to have too much carbs for breakfast. I would probably not give it another go since I didn't see anything else on the menu that stood out. For those who are dining in, you do not need to stand in line to order. You can sit down and someone will walk over to take your order. It's a little confusing at first since they don't have any mention of this and everyone just goes straight for the counter. read more

This is where I order from when I'm craving a bandeja paisa/montañera (I miss you so much, Colombia). I've found that when ordering a bandeja for delivery the chicharrón can be really hit or miss - it's often too much fat, too much skin, or over-fried until it's rock hard - but Gata Golosa's is 90% hit. And that's a better hit rate than any other place I've ordered from. read more

I was there yesterday, the patties were okay,(nothing to die for) but the service was bad. I got an order to go and the lady behind the counter just hated me since the moment I walk in. I spoke to her in Spanish and she didn't undertood so I spoke to her in English and I think that's why she was mad at me. The guy that came out to help her was very nice tho. But this lady just gave me her actitude. She screamed at me when I left for no reason... Maybe she was mad cause I didn't left her a tip for a to go order. But I got scream about it and she treated me like shit cause she doesn't speak English? I spoke to her in 2 different languages and she didn't get it. I work in hospitality and I understand it's frustrating to don't have tip... But it's a to go order and I got scream at for no reason. So if you want the tip work for it specially in a TO GO order!!!!!!! read more

I really enjoyed my service here and the food was great. I came with my little sister and my son to have dinner and the waiters were so sweet and they are bilingual. I'm going to be coming here more often. They were checking on us the whole time and didn't have any problems when we asked for more stuff, they attended to us right away and we didn't have to wait very long for our food. The food was delicious and authentic, this has been the best Colombian restaurant I've been to in the area,I really did love it here. read more

This review is solely for the coffee and customer service; both are outstanding! All of the ladies here are super sweet, personable, welcoming, and helpful!! Upon entering, you feel part of the family. I really enjoy their coffee, they serve Stone Street coffee. At $1.65 a cup along with great service, I'm all yours!

I love LOVE the empanadas, pao de queijo and colombiana soda. Everyday after work I stop by, and when it's during weekends I order as well. Amazing! read more

Yum! Authentic latin food served quick and in huge portions. Got the pollo a la plancha because this was after the gym and I was attempting to be healthy. It was cheap, flavorful and filling. They give a side salad and rice and beans. Wish I could have tried a pastry or an empanada. read more

Incredible quality. If you want a reliable breakfast, brunch, or lunch spot then for real this is the spot. Their hashbrowns are cooked to perfection, great huevos pericos (eggs cooked with tomatoes and peppers) and they have thick bacon. Also all of their baked items are fresh and endlessly flavorful and delicious. Highly recommend! Did i mention their coffee is in point? read more

Horrible empandas after the pandemic. The quality just got awful. There was only potatoes in my food and no meat. Staff are friendly though. read more

When I was only a couple blocks away, I would stop at this place often for arepas (de choclo), which are awesome with some cheese drizzled on or even just warmed up with a little butter. A friend had one of their huge dishes and wolfed it down, so it must have been good. They have a wide selection of pastries, baked goods, dinners and rotisserie chicken (pretty tasty). Convenient location, friendly service, good food. read more

My partner and I lucked into this place when we were first looking for apartments in the neighborhood and immediately realized that if we moved nearby, we'd HAVE TO try every single shake they sold, because they are amazing, and also I don't know what lulo fruit is but it needs to be a part of my diet. I think we tried every fruit and water or milk option available - blackberry and lulo were the champs. This place is awesome, super friendly service, and the lulo shake is next level shake magic. read more

My fam and I eat here often. The flavors are good most of the time. But they are a bit stingy with the meat portions. I just purchased 2 large sopa de Rabo, and found I measly piece of Ox tail, and about 6 huge pieces of yucca in each. It'd be nice if they had a fair ratio of oxtail to yucca. It's Sopa de Rabo after all! read more

I ordered pericos (Colombian scramble eggs)but it was an omelette. It did not have anything to do with pericos. The omelette was so dry and no flavor. They have plates that are a version of Colombian food. The quality is of food is poor. read more

My fav quick thing to eat here is arepa de choclo con queso (heated up in the microwave). For breakfast I like to eat huevos pericos with an arepa and cheese on top accompanied by orange juice. The juices here are natural so it is a huge plus. The service is quick and the women working there are very friendly. Another big plus is that is next to the broadway train stop for the N and W trains. I definitely recommend this place! read more

I like Gata Golosa very much. The breads are tasty and baked every day. They have great tea and coffee, the place is clean and spacious.
