The Hawaiian empanadas were the best item we ordered. Chicken empanadas were dry, and we did not get to try the beef empanadas as they had run out. The classic Bandeja Paisa platter came with a lot of food. The meat overall was dry. If you come here, be prepared to share!

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.

When I think Peruvian chicken, I expect crispy, golden skin. What I got instead was more "soft and…read moreconfused." Even my neighbors who actually know Peruvian food recommended this place with a disclaimer, admitting the chicken is not great here. The seasoning went hard on oregano and cumin, like someone spilled the spice rack. To be fair, the chicken was not dry, which earns it a small mercy point. The cilantro lime green sauce was fine. Not bad, not exciting, just kind of there. The staff was friendly though, and that honestly did some heavy lifting. I have heard the steaks are good, so I might come back and pretend the chicken never happened.

Wowzers! I found authentic Perviuan dishes! It's a gem to find this place, right in my own back…read moreyard! Food is so good! It's been open for one year! It's the way the chicken is made that makes it tasty! Plantains are my absolute favorite! It's a small restaurant so be patient if you're coming in with a crowd.

Food was amazing, the service was even better…read more I was craving some empanadas and I saw this place was highly rated so I thought I would give it a try. Just my bad luck, the time I came in there was a kids soccer team and their parents in front of me. I placed my order behind them and waited patiently. 5 mins later my name was already called. The gentleman behind the counter ( I assume was the owner) made food for me on the house because he told me it would be a while. 10 mins later my food was ready! Both the baked and fried empanadas were delicious. if i could only pick only one I would choose the fried one. but if youre looking for something lighter defiantly go for the bake one. Amazing food and service. Will back again

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. I was just a bit disappointed by the enchiladas, the chicken was a bit dry. But the beans and rice were good. Also though my Jamaica agua Fresca could have used a bit more hibiscus flavor. 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. Overall, I will probably come back for brunch next time . But service and value is really great here.

Authentic Dominican/Caribbean food in Willowbrook. Who knew?…read more I remember this place from a birthday party decades ago. The space was a bit bigger (they've since redesigned it smaller), but the crowds were smaller. Success hasn't tarnished their food. It was a very rainy and soggy afternoons and the place was packed. We managed a table and ordered. Can't go wrong with the delicious shrimp mofongo. I honestly think the sauce is the icing on that cake, made all the more delicious with a squeeze of lemon. Whew! Service was fast and dinner came out at a reasonable pace. The owner is so friendly and stopped by our table to make sure things were good. Better than good! If you're in the Willowbrook area do yourself a favor and stop in for lunch or dinner. Prices are a little steep, but what's isn't these days?

Food is very good, they have lunch specials during the week including pernil, pollo guisado, etc…read morefor about $12-13. I ordered the pollo guisado and moro, both were good and we have a little left over. My partner ordered the pica pollo and the fried chicken was decent. The food does take some time, and servers did not check in too often so I would recommend ordering ahead of time (unless you have a long lunch break), There are plenty of tables, but it is a little dark inside, 2 bathrooms inside. The juice was on the sweet side so just watered it down (wish they have smoothies), but they get 5 stars overall for the flavor and the price point. Plenty of parking as it's in located along other stores.
