    Small Bandeja Paisa
    Ashley R.

    Disappointed! I've been going here for 10+ years. Surprised and loved the remodel and decor. BUT the prices are ridiculous. Not only the prices, but the food was horrible. I spent 22.00 by myself and only 2.00 was edible. So now I have to spend another $10, just to eat, after leaving this restaurant. Oh, and the service... after I received my food/drink, the next time I seen her was walking to ask for my check. BTW it was only myself and a party of two, who finished their food, upon my arrival. The picture is AFTER I tried to eat. Will never return and I use to love this place.

    I was originally craving a bandeja paisa and found this spot with its amazing reviews. The photos looked great and the decision was made to eat here! There's a decent seating area for a strip mall restaurant and it's open seating so we grab a menu a pick a table. After sitting down and looking at the menu, I opted for the Sancocho de gallina. My partner got the bandeja. We started out with empanadas and that's when the red flags started. First, the salsa comes out in a small open jar; you can see this has been used before as there were crumbs from previous meals. Then I had a bone in my chicken empanada. Moving on to the main dish - the food is visually appealing. The flavors in the bandeja were good however more red flags. 1- the food is not hot. And this goes for the entire meal. Just like momma bears porridge, cold. My sancocho was also barely warm which is not expected when ordering soup. I was also surprised to see a whole quartered chicken in there. So it was NOT fun having to take the chicken apart. Shouldn't have to work hard at eating soup. Overall, service was relatively slow but friendly. The prices are affordable. Food is visually appealing but questionable.

    Mi pollo estaba duro y quemado. Siempre e ordenado de allí pero hoy la comida no estaba bien. Que decepción!

    Food! Meat was burnt could not even chew it. A little disappointed, I have always ordered from here but last couple times food has not been good.

    I've had this place bookmarked for a couple years and I finally pulled the trigger today. So glad I did. My cardiologist would not approve of the lunch I had today but I can't lie. I may do it again tomorrow. The dish consisted of rice, beans, pork belly, sausage, steak, sweet plantains, and an over easy egg. Everything was exceptional but the highlight of the dish for me was the sweet plantains. Sofa king good.

    Authentic Colombian Food in Katy! I am Colombian and a recent transplant from Chicago. The food at La Olla is phenomenal! When trying a new Colombian spot, I alway judge them by their Bandeja Paisa and their empanadas, both here were perfect and on point. For the uninitiated, a Bandeja Paisa is a hearty platter of steak, fried pork belly, sausage, fried yellow plantain, rice, beans, and topped off with a fried egg. It also comes with an arepa which is a small fried corn pancake. This is a huge plate, enough to serve as your only meal of the day...because it will be impossible to be hungry afterward. All that food for $14 bucks! Give them a try!
