They renovated and everything is much nicer inside. Area is much bigger and modern. They have indoor seating with a huge covered patio and a playground for kids. Over the years their quality, flavor and good customer service has remained consistent. They treat you like family. I love that they offer a dish called Tipiquito it is a smaller version of the traditional Colombian dish known an 'Bandeja Paisa'. Not all Colombian restaurants offer this smaller version. I am happy to share about my experience when I helped coordinate a work event to feature Colombian food and I secured a catering order with Gran Colombia! They were quick to help me over the phone, they answered all my questions, they were willing to make the drive to memorial area to deliver the food. Every single step to complete the order was so easy and received the best customer service. Everyone was very happy with the food and service. I will always recommend Gran colombia! It is a must try!

Although, the restaurant was not full at all, seemed like they attended the other 4 tables better than ours. Even the Bandeja paisa we received was mediocre, seemed the size big enough for a child to eat. We asked for sauce and they said they were still making it although we had been there for more than 45 minutes. Our food wasn't even hot, I was really disappointed. Last time coming here.

After visiting Mi Pueblito on Richmond, I was very excited for the location in Katy. We came in for…read morean early dinner and basically had the place to ourselves with the exception of one other table. There is a small bakery and decent sized bar along with what looked like a banquet room in the back. There are tv's everywhere you turn your head. The menu is the same from the other location but last time I had soup and I was wanted to try something different. I finally decided on the churrasco with a cup of the chicken soup and fried yuca. Our server was very nice and wasn't overly attentive. When my soup came out I was pretty excited since this was just a cup sized of what I had on my visit to the OG location. Sadly, the soup was just broth. There was no chicken or veggies in the cup. When my entree came out, I also fell flat. The steak was not seasoned at all and I had to ask for chimichurri sauce. It also was over cooked for a medium and quite tough. Unfortunately we left pretty bummed out and didn't even bother checking out the baked goods before we left.

I could honestly bet they changed the cook. The rice is still good, but it used to have a unique,…read moredistinctive flavor, and now it tastes good just not quite the same seasoning as before. Overall, the food is fresh and flavorful, and this is still the only Colombian restaurant I truly recommend. The empanadas are actually filled with real meat, not like other places that advertise beef but mostly fill them with potatoes. It's genuinely my favorite Colombian restaurant.

We took home some milanesa de pollo to bring the flavors with us. Yummy!

I am finally getting to write this review from our visit from March 6. We were in the Katy area for…read morean appointment and decided to try someting different. This was an AWESOME DIFFERENT!!! The pictures do no justice to this gem! Once you walk in and look at the decor you know its going to be special. My wife ordered the Cerdo Asado. She found it to be excellent. She also had a Empanada Carne to compre it to the ones she cooks. It was a bit on the small size but the taste was great. She said it was seasoned to perfection. For dessert she had the flan which was quite large and was better than her childhood's version and memory. I ordered the Masas Cerdo Fritas. The meat was tender while having a nice crispy batter. Besides tasting out of this world the portion was definitely what you would get at home. Seriously it was a lot of meat. My plate came with congris rice, made like a perfection plate by a Cuban. (BTW I am not Cuban). The plantains were crispy and not overcooked. I am not a dessert guy, besides I was very full, but I definitely had their espresso. Only thing lacking was the cigar! Did I mention that the portion was big enough for me to take some home? The bread served was buttery garlic and worth the visit by itself. The water served was in a bottle and very cold. The service was excellent and very friendly. The restaurant was spotless and so were the bathrooms. WE WILL DEFINITELY GO BACK!!!

The barbacoa was not bad but not the best, although the consume had a very delicious and unique flavor to it. Both the green and red sauce are very spicy. Chips were giving with the salsa upon arrival. I went with some friends and they had ordered the same thing plus a dish called alambre. That one was really good. It was like chicken beef and shrimp fajita with bell peppers and lots of cheese. Really good. The one thing I disliked was the heat! It was uncomfortably hot. I don't know if the ac was out at the time or if it's always like that but that day was extremely hot outside and in.

I tell her I'm here to pickup my order and says she doesn't have any order. I go to show her my phone and she keeps insisting there is no order- I try to show her and she refuses to look at my phone and says you think I don't know how to look- we don't use any other service than uber and grub- I tell her- still very nicely -ma'am I always place an order this way and show her again- she takes a glimpse and continues to say I don't have your order and starts speaking in English- which I don't mind- and says- I have lawyers who know what I use and you need to figure out where you paid and figure it out. She then a proceeds to walk to the kitchen area (about a ft away) and pulls the door behind here- I stay standing there in shock! Like what the heck is wrong with this lady? I am not asking for free food- it's an almost $150 order- I just want to feed my family what I bought- and she tells me to just leave. Like woman- I am not being rude- she could've easily handled differently or checked her order links again- but no today you decide to be an ass hole. I left with my son and almost 20 min out and I get a call from grub hub customer service asking if I still want my order- I proceeded to ask if she called that she found it and he said yes- I said no- never ordering again I want a refund. Had to then call a 1800 number- they called the restaurant and got my order refunded. Lesson- don't be a bitch to a paying customer- be nice- try to work something out. You've lost a customer- won't send people your way anymore. Thanks for showing who you are

The service was lovely and the family running it very helpful. Sadly, the food was acceptable but…read morenot as fabulous as the restaurants we loved so much before COVID closed them. The tamales were almost like Mexican style, not the dreamy soft Salvadoran style. The Mondongo is a nice stew, but under seasoned and lacked salt and herbs and the levels of collagen that marks this wonderful stew at its finest. The pupusas were the only thing that rose to a good level, still lacking salt and the curtido was underwhelming, again lacking the levels needed of oregano, salt and other ingredients to make it great.

Houston is known for a large variety of Salvadoran food. This place came up after typing on Yelp…read more we drove 40 min from cypress tx to this place. Nice location, restaurant is in a shopping center parking lot. Door to get in were a little confused all tinted. The place is more like an elegant Salvadoran restaurant not those places with decent prices and good food, this is the opposite side. We ordered 3 large orchatas and 2 cokes, by the time our server was dropping ours drinks we noticed that they sell Colashampam this is a delicious soda from EL Salvador so I want my Mexican friend to try it, we ask the server if he can return one of the orchatas and gives us the colashanpan and told us that he was not able to do that because the orchata was already served, I know the orchata is coming from a dispenser machine or container and is easy to returned with out doing any contamination, anyway we told him to leave it on the table and give us what we were asking and he did. Food prices are high for the quality, each pupusa cost $3,25 bucks. Places in the same area are selling pupusas for $1.60 with lots of more flavor. A plate with pupusas and tamales, plantains which is a traditional plate cost us $18 dollars, don't get me wrong this place is for those who don't know about this culinary culture so they can try for the first time but maybe not coming back Lol if they really want to try the traditional food. Our one and only best dish here was the Buñuelos de Yuca with Chilate $11 dollars for this unique and delicious dish that is going to make me go back for sure. Please work on your chicharrón for the pupusas because it taste like pork skin soaked in water mixed with onion and tomato with not seasoned. Please excuse my bad typing. Never attend any English school in my life..

I liked how it came unsweetened so you can customized it to your liking. I thought it was delicious as is and didn't need to add any sweetener. The two salsas were red and avocado, both delicious.
