I'm not sure why the reviews are so bad for this spot. It is a little confusing where this place is since they have an entrance on Northern Blvd. and on 162nd St. I came here for breakfast with my 2 friends and the place is empty. Honestly, I was worried about coming here but my friend insisted because she has no good Colombian food in Syosset. I was pleasantly surprised that the food tasted so good. So much so, that I didn't get any pictures. Their rice and beans had so much flavor. We were all surprised that their pork chop was juicy and tasty. Their home made hot sauce goes perfectly with the food. They have a nice selection of baked goods and we tried the bunuelo and cheese bread. Both were yummy. I will definitely come back again. read more

La Nueva Amistad Bakery and Restaurant - Colombian Near Me - Flushing, New York

Ordered delivery on grubhub and never received it. I tried to call the restaurant several times to inquire about the delay BUT NO ONE answered. When I called back AGAIN I got hung up on. When i finally got someone on the phone I was told there was no deliveries pending and that they don't do delivery through grubhub only through uber eats. However, grubhub has delivery as an option.. I was able to get a full refund from grubhub after waiting over an hour for my delivery that I never received. Very disappointing experience both with grubhub and with the restaurant. I've never ordered from there before, and I intend to keep it that way going forward. read more

Good place for Colombian food. Their chorizo is excellent. Mini bandeja gives you everything on a platter and it also comes with beans. The rice absorbs all the flavor making it awesome. I ordered for pickup and it was ready on time when I got there. read more

Place needs a health inspection, roaches are visible at food display, small and mid size roaches appeared while visiting in a Saturday morning, next to the buñuelos and almojavanas. Notified owner, who just attended issue by grabbing insects with paper towel, department of sanitation should have been called instead. Over charges on credit card/ debit card payments, items not ordered, please be aware of this tactic executed by owner of the establishment, multiple times incident has occurred to myself as well colleagues. Sound decibels are very high, music playing should be tone down a bit. Please be aware of this location. read more

When you think Colombian food in New York your first thought is often Jackson Heights or Corona, Queens. But I'm lucky enough to have a great local Colombian eatery a few blocks away from my house in Flushing, Queens. La Nueva Amistad is a local mom and pop restaurant that's serving up some of the most authentic Colombian dishes at unbeatable prices. Pictured is their "Mini" Bandeja Paisa - Rice, Beans, Plantain, Avocado, Steak, Chicharron and Chorizo - all for only $13. Amazing food at insanely low prices, what more could you want? Don't forget to wash it all down with a Postobon. read more

La Nueva Amistad Bakery and Restaurant - a plate of food - Colombian Near Me - Flushing, New York

Review from a Hispanic person who grew up in Jackson Heights (little Colombia): Food: 4/5 Customer Service: 5/5 (dine-in) Pricing information: 1/5 The food and customer service here is great. Very respectful and accommodating. What I have a problem with is their pricing model - prices are different on every single menu and if you dine-in you will be in for a surprise because menu items suddenly change prices from what is listed on the physical menu. These prices are also different from what is listed online. I understand that inflation and supply chain issues have led to many businesses increasing their prices but legally you have to sell for the listed price. This was not the case for my visit and I was only informed of their price change after the bill came, their response: "we had to raise the prices of everything one dollar but we have so many menus we didn't want to throw them out." Fair enough, but this makes the customer feel lied to and more importantly, it is illegal. I really, truly wanted to give this local spot a good review because the food is delicious but the pricing issue left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

La Nueva Amistad Bakery and Restaurant - Different listed prices on dine-in menu, online, and what you are actually charged. But the food is good. - Colombian Near Me - Flushing, New York

When I first moved to Flushing from Woodhaven, I was concerned that I wouldn't have local access to delicious Colombian food anymore. I was proven wrong by La Nueva Amistad, located less than 5 minutes from home on a strip of mostly Asian restaurants and cafes. Their food is excellent and the service is great - I am a huge fan of their bandejas, fruit shakes, and anything that comes with their champinones sauce! They're surprisingly open on most holidays, and for the best experience I recommend dining in rather than ordering delivery. read more

Eh. They scam you with the amount of rice they serve. You're basically paying for rice only.

I ordered a few days ago from here for take out, I was super excited to try them out. There isn't many other Colombian places around ... I ordered 3 empanadas and Chichaarrón as well as two bottled drinks that came out to a total of 18. To me it was definitely a bit pricey but I don't mind paying whatever the price is as long as I like what I get. Let me tell you I hate to do this, but I wouldn't want someone going out of their way to get food here and be disappointed. The empanadas literally were all dough and potatoes maybe one or two chunks of beef. The chicken empanadas same as well all potatoes. If you're going to be charging what your charging at least put more than one or two pieces of the meat filling it's supposed to be, or call it a potato empanada. The only reason I give two stars is because the guy at the counter was super nice and the chicharron. read more

It's my birthday tomorrow so my coworker wanted to buy me some lunch. He suggested Colombian and I was like, why not!! I got the calentado con carne, huevos, y chorizo (mixed rice and beans, steak, eggs, and sausage)-- and it was AMAZING!!! The mixed rice and beans was nice and hot and flavorful, topped with veggie scrambled eggs, with a nice, fat chunk of sausage on the side, and little pieces of steak (which was okay). I loved the sweet touch of a plaintain in the bowl as well. Honestly, it was sooooo worth it for the lunch special of only $12! I would definitely recommend rationing the meal; however, the portion is hugeee and I had the biggest food coma ever.... The only reason why I took off one star was because I felt like they only put a few pieces of steak and wayyy too much rice hahaha. But, hey overall this is a nice and affordable spot to go when you're craving Colombian food! read more

Went here for empanadas because I was in the mood. What a disappointment. Dough on the empanadas was terrible, filling was meh. The women behind the counter took the empanadas from the display case and reheated them in the microwave. It's a bad sign when a restaurant uses a microwave. Who know how old the empanadas were. Also if you decided to eat here, look at their health score/information first. read more

Ordered through Grubhub and although I received a confirmation that my order was being prepared it was never delivered. They don't pick up their phone or have a voicemail box either. Thankfully Grubhub is issuing me a full refund. The food I ordered from them was always mediocre. I would steer clear of ordering from them from any of the food delivery apps. read more

Extremely rude lady works behind the counter. I'm assuming she thought that I didn't speak Spanish which is why she jokingly made the very offensive comment to the customer in front of me. I was hoping to become a regular since I work close to this place but I will NOT be returning. En boca cerrada no entran moscas. read more

DO NOT EVER ORDER FROM THIS SPOT!!!!!!!!!!! I called them at 2:30pm and they finally after ignoring my 30 phone calls bought me my food at 5:15 pm they have horrible customer service and I wouldn't recommend it on my worst enemy!!!!!!!!!! read more

I came here for the lunch special. I believe it was $7 for steak or chicken leg with potato salad, salad, and soup. The chicken soup was decent, nothing rememberable though. The steak I ordered was thin and lifeless; in fact I could barely choke it down. Potato salad had odd chunks of hot dogs in there. And the salad, well I barely remember it. It seems to be the only Spanish place in the area, so I guess they win some points here. I really was hoping for the food to be good.... too bad read more

This place appears as a bakery, foremost, but it also features full Colombian continental fare - roast chickens on turnstiles behind the counter for one, which itself has a glass display case full of cookies and pastries and other Colombian food items. Feeling quite hungry, I wanted a comprehensive platter - and ordered the Bandeja Montañera (Mountaineer's) for $13 over the Bandeja Tipica (Typical, $11). Both items on the menu listed similar items - a grilled top round steak I believe, chicarrones or fried pork skin, chorizo sausage, rice, beans, a fried egg, an arequipa corn cake and a sliced avocado. I asked the server what the difference was, and she said that it was simply the quantity. For $2 more I figured I'd get a better value. I had Colombian food before and this was nothing to complain about at all. The steak is a thin and slightly tough cut, but that's to be expected in a Colombian Bandeja Tipica, and was still flavorful. The rice and beans were savory, and the chicharron, if one can pardon the sinfulness of deep-fried crispy pork skin with the fat on, was to die for. It was crunchy, crispy, and very satisfying. The chorizo was just spicy enough - not overwhelmingly spicy like other Italian or Spanish sausages are - it was soft and one could tell the complete chunks of meat in there. The arepa was a bit tough and dry, but again, that's what I expected in a bandeja tipica. The avocado was just like a fresh decent avocado should be. I could not finish this dish and took nearly half of it home for my dinner. Service was friendly. The place is small, modest and clean, it feels like a little family bakery with a few tables. read more

Very very rude completely turned off by the customer service especially the older woman behind the counter. Shows no respect, politeness, or even acknowledgment. Place is so dirty food is ok but could find way better food with a MUCH better staff and much cleaner. Go somewhere else read more

Worst Colombian bakery. I went yesterday morning to buy some pandebonos, and other stuff which were all hard as if they've been out for more than a day. Nothing tasted fresh. I also bought an arepa de choclo and it was the worst. I couldn't even eat it, it was full of egg shells. Like really do they not pay attention when they place food out. And the baker... did he/she not realize. I've had the meat from this place also, nope not doing that again. But this was a disappointment to Colombian Bakery's. I will NEVER go there again. read more

This place is not new. They have been opened about 15 years, far as I can remember. They just opened a few stores down to a bigger location. To be honest, the food is not bad. It is actually pretty good. Now, the downside.. the service is HORRIBLE. The owners do not care. They close at 8:30, so at 8 I called them to see if they had this certain item... I live 2 blocks away so I was gonna stop by. They answered after 3 calls and the owner told me they didn't have it, ok so fine. My sister went out shortly after to get something else to eat. But before she did, she had a feeling she should stop by this place..... and yes, you guessed it. They had the item I called them about. Why would you lie to a customer? I really don't get it.. so you don't want the business? Ugh... read more

My Colombian Boyfriend has eaten at La Amistad for 20 years. I have been going for 6 years.. we love it:) Usually we order -carne asada, chicken empanadas or chicharron. The empanadas are different time to time based on what chef made them. It makes it interesting. They are all good. It's the only Colombian restaurant in an Asian dominant neighborhood and it's been around forever because it's awesome! It's basic, home made Colombian food. If your going for a fancy date your expecting to much. It's more a lunch place or take out. Enjoy!! read more

Tiny cafe-style Latin bakery, just off Northern Boulevard. Aside from pastries/breads, they also serve Latin entrees, plus a bunch of candies, snacks and drinks that I'm assuming are pretty well known to people who speak better Spanish than me. Looks like they have a strong customer base from the Latin American community nearby. You'll see groups sitting with cleared plates, women getting entire family dinners in takeout, loners with a newspaper and an avocado salad. Plus the Asian girl and her whitey boyfriend, munching on pan de queso-- --which, by the way, was really good. I've had a few pastries La Amistad and the one that really impressed was the pan de queso. $1.25, cheese baked right into the bread and a nice floury crust outside. Yum! read more

I had a serious craving for Colombian food today so I walked to the restaurant to grab a menu in person. I ordered in person to have them deliver it to my house. They overcharged me a dollar, which then overcharges me even more because the tax goes up, too. I called to complain that Bistec Ence. is supposed to be $13.00, but that I was charged $14.00. Lady got her attitude with me and started lying to me about how I had the old menu. I was pissed. I told her that they should have told me that then! I hung up the phone with them, then I remembered that the first time I ordered empanadas from them, they also tried to overcharge me then, too, by a dollar. Food is alright, but who wants to order from a place that isn't consistent and takes advantage of their customers? Nobody, if people are smart enough and don't like to tolerate disrespect. read more

Beware! Their beef empanadas are literally 98% potato, 2% beef inside lol. I mean it's $2 a piece which is in the cheaper side, but instead of misleading people by naming your potato empanada as beef empanada, just put more beef and increase the price freaking dumb ass owners!!! read more

Dissapointed twice! I visited these place twice. 1st I order rice with grill chicken "pechuga a la plancha" , the chicken was so hard and tasteless. I was so upset because I want to eat something good for lunch. And the second time was Yesterday July 6, 2017. I order a bread with "guayaba" and the man working there gave me a bread with dulce de leche but that wasn't the problem, that the bread was hard & dry. It seems that the bread had days on the display counter. I won't ever any circumstances come back again to this place. read more

I've gotten the baked goods from here. My favorites are: buenlos, pan de queso, guava bread and empanadas! If you go in the morning, they are warm and just baked. I would come back here to try the entrees. read more

Food itself isn't bad, but the people running the place are absolutely awful. They lie, they try to cheat you out of money and only get your order right about 50% of the time. Then when you call for them to fix it they are rude and nasty, as if it was you that did something wrong. I have given this place MANY tries because their bakery items are good, but this is done now. Don't waste your time and don't give them the opportunity to steal your money. read more

Authentic and a rare find in the hood. Order any of the baked breads and the Mountain dish. Loved it.

I mean it's okay. Service is not the best, they just never smile and forget what you order lol and ask you again. They put the hot plate so close to me and the oil almost splashed me. The meat could've been more flavorful. Sweet plantains good. Portions are pretty decent. It just that the food is kind of basic, like something I would attempt to make at home but not the best. Had better Colombian food. Wouldn't really come back read more

When we first started ordering from here the quality of food was really good. Now that we ordered after a couple of weeks the quality went downhill we ordered the bandeja paisa X2 there was no avocado they forgot it. Also we ordered 4 empanadas 2 cheese and 2 beef I only for 2 beef and 1 cheese missing one empanada. The cheese empanada tasted disgusting no flavor and extra greasy. The beef empanada had no beef just potato. Also the delivery guy was rude, sarcastic regarding the generous tip. I called them back regarding the empanada and they said we'll send it back to you 3 hours later no one showed up. I contacted grubhub and when they spoke to the restaurant they only issues $1.50 back to the card really!! I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THIS PLACE AGAIN!!! Plus the food was not as good was it was before maybe new owner but it was a 1 out of 10. read more

The hubby and I were in queens for a met game which had been delayed due to the rain. We found this spot using a "near me" search and decided it had decent reviews. We weren't impressed with the service, which felt rushed. We asked for water and given water bottles instead of tap. Ordinarily thats not terrible but ask before you try to make us pay for water. The food was underwhelming, greasy and drowned in sauces. read more

This puts a shame to Colombian food! Their food was way overpriced for a subpar food. The place was empty should've been the first sign of a terrible place. The place was trashy with decoration that resembled that of a 3rd grade birthday party. I feel like I got a disease after eating it read more

The worst! Ordered for delivery at 7:42pm, it's 9:48 pm and the food never showed. I live 20 mins away. Also tried calling and they didn't answer. Waste of time! read more

Horrible. This place doesn't even deserve one star. They've moved down the block so it's "la Nueva Amistad," but they didn't improve anything but the location. The food was bland and their tres leches taste horrible!! Worse I've ever had. To top it off, their prices aren't accurate because apparently their prices are not updated yet. Ok, great, that's not how a well run business works. Their food was subpar and their service even worse. I love me a good Colombian spot, but don't waste your calories here. read more

Service was very good, great atmosphere. The bandeja was great. Overall good experience!!
