I was really disappointed with my recent experience at La Gran Colombia. I had placed an order for…read moreempanadas ahead of time for a party, specifically to avoid any delays. Unfortunately, when I arrived to pick them up, the order wasn't ready at all. This put me in a difficult position, since I was on a tight schedule and had planned around their commitment. Instead of a smooth pickup, I ended up waiting far longer than expected, which was frustrating and stressful given the circumstances. The food itself may be good, but the lack of preparation and reliability made the experience very frustrating. I hope they improve their organization and communication, because advance orders should be honored on time--especially when customers are counting on them for events.

But it's been there awhile so I stopped in the other day to give it a try. The restaurant has a dauntingly large menu of Honduran and Venezuelan items. I had a pollo (chicken) pastelito to start, and the pork chop entree. As far as I can tell they do not offer desserts. The pastelito is a fairly small bite, but it was fried fresh and was warm and crisp when delivered. The crust was perfectly crisp and had just a bit of that promising shine of grease. The filling was quite delicious. The texture and flavor set me up to enjoy the meal. The pork chop was lightly breaded and seasoned and pan fried. It was cut quite thin. When a chop is thin there's about a 10 second window from under to overdone. The chef hit it perfectly. The texture and flavor were great. I often hesitate to order pork chops in a restaurant because they are normally dry and overdone. This was one of the best I have had. The dish came with rice and beans on the plate. The rice is a more sticky variety than the usual Tex-Mex rice, and has some different seasonings. I really enjoyed it. The refried beans are darker and have a rich flavor. The entree is served with a side of plantain chips. It's a very generous serving, easy for at least 2 to share. They were sliced very thin and fried to order, nice and warm when they came out. The seasoning is very light, so I did add some salt, but the texture was perfect and they tasted great. Service was fine but we had some awkward moments--I get the impression that the customers are mostly regulars. If you decide to come, just pick a table and sit--someone will eventually come to serve. The pace is very relaxed, you will need to allow time. They do have agua frescas, I would get that next time instead of soda. I can say for sure that they know how to cook, everything was done about as well as it can be.

Stopped in the other evening and got an Arepa Cabimera, and a cup of chicha for dessert. The Arepa Cabimera was a very different and delicious food experience. All kinds of things in it--shredded chicken, some sliced ham, slaw, hard boiled egg, what seemed like fried yuca (might have been the arepa), with two sauces, tomato and cheese. The whole thing ate like a salad with not a lot of greens. The flavors were very pleasant and complemented each other well. I've never had anything like it and can very much recommend it. Chicha (they called it Chichas) was another new thing for me. It is a sweet rice drink flavored with vanilla and cinnamon that drinks like a milkshake. The sweetness was just perfect, with the right amount of cinnamon. Great finish to the meal. The combination cost about $25 with tip, that's pretty much what it costs to eat at a food truck now. Most of the items are $11-14, but they have a kids' menu starting at $6. I have to mark them down a little for service. The first time I went I was refused service because I didn't speak Spanish. The second time the manager who spoke English was there and things were better, he is polite and helpful. All in all it's quite good, with some different offerings from the other Venezuelan trucks.

I got the Salchipapa Medellin, which is a loaded fry dish, and this one is seriously loaded--chicken, sausage and bacon with a house sauce on top of french fries, capped with a load of mozarella and cheddar cheese. It's at least two pounds of food and you should easily get three portions out of it. It came with three sauces--a white sauce that reminded me a little of tartar sauce (but not strongly), a pink sauce (the white sauce with ketchup) and a relish/chutney that had a complex, just barely sweet flavor. All went well with the dish. The fries are cooked nice and crisp and hold up to the layered goodness on top. The dish took awhile to make but when I dug in I understood why, it's a complicated concoction. I would say the chicken was just a bit overdone but all the sauce and moisture made it eat just fine. Delicious! While I was waiting I had a Lulo, one of their juices. Also called a naranjilla. The juice is a commercial product with lulo and pear pulp and a lot of artificial treatment (some artificial flavors, and artificial "cloudifier"--ingredients to make the juice cloudy. Never had that before.), but if you can get past that it's pretty tasty. They have a full range of other beverages. Their menu is quite large, with a variety of appetizers, burgers, and plates. They know how to cook and it's clear why they are successful.

Nowadays it feels like all texmex places charge absurd prices, but I was very pleasantly surprised with the value here. $13 for a place of enchiladas suizas is a great deal.

Service was super awesome here. I was sat right away, immediately served, and my food came out in less than 5 min, which is crazy. My waiter was really awesome.

I visited this food truck the other night at its new location behind the Gosling Express…read moreconvenience store. On that night it was a one-man operation so the service was a bit slow, but not too bad. I had a pork pepito basket with a papelon con limon. My fries were something of a disappointment--limp and not very many, but my friend who ordered a side of fries at the same time said hers were better. The sandwich was pretty good--tender pork with a generous amount of a tasty dill sauce, along with cheese and some other condiments. It's a good thing the sauce was good, because between the dill flavor and the amount it pretty much overwhelmed the rest of the flavors. The roll was good, a nice crusty one that allowed you to pick up the sandwich easily. I liked it fine. My friend had the burger, which was a decent basic burger except for the cheese not melting properly. The papelon con limon was OK--probably made with turbinado sugar. I've had it with brown sugar and liked that better. The truck has a very broad menu, covering Venezuelan, Tex-Mex, and even Asian dishes. I would say it is worth a try if you are branching out.
