Authentic Colombian food. We had the bandeja paisa and the patacón pisao and also 2 empanadas. Food was a little cold but it was still good. Servers are very friendly and the decoration very cultural. read more

I could eat here every day. This is my go-to spot when I do not feel like cooking at home. Everything I have tried here is above average. The prices are very reasonable, and the staff is friendly. The restaurant itself is a little hole-in-the-wall type establishment in a strip mall on Fry Road. I recommend the milanesa de pollo. It is a chicken cutlet fried to perfection served with a tiny salad, some sweet plantains, flavorful white rice, and pinto beans. Order some tostones (fried flattened green plantains) on the side. The bandeja paisa is also a good choice. They have a rotating selection of soups that are a must try. read more

Probably our favorite Colombian restaurant in Houston-Kathy and Cypress areas. The food is really good and the service is just excellent I recommend the baby churrasco..just great. read more

Our regular Colombian lunch restaurant is currently closed for repairs, so decided to check this place out for lunch. We all ordered the bandejita paisa and an empanada. The empanada was not my favorite, super hard deep fried shell and they only offered one flavor. The rice, beans, avocado, and steak on the platter was delicious. The chorizo sausage was decent but the pork was just ok. For the price, it really hit the spot. $10 for more food than anyone should eat in one sitting. Overall not my favorite restaurant but a good cheap lunch option. read more

Normally I would give this place it's props,HOWEVER, they really dropped the ball yesterday. I placed my usual order ( bandajas paesa) online and it was set to be picked up at 1pm, I get there and the ladies forgot to check the online orders, ( that's not what ticked me off, what ticked me off is they didn't communicate what they didn't do with me, instead they spoke to each other in Spanish about messing up my order. Oh I understand and speak Spanish (Cuba). I waited 20 minutes for an order that was the wrong order. Long story short, after almost forty minutes waiting, I finally get the plate which was inedible because the plate melted and my freaking food was literally in the bag. P.S. I was late for work and hungry. read more

Great, friendly service, really good food. Not sure how it compares to authentic Columbian food but it is yummy. Been there twice. They have a few lunch specials. Bandeja Paisa plate is very good. Sausage was very tasty, slightly different unique flavor, and other meats are tender. Liked it so much, have had it twice. Tried the Lengua en Salsa lunch special the first time and it was very, very flavorful. Another time tried the Lomo de Cerdo Hawaiian, it was kind of a fried pork patty with some sauce and flavored rice. It was okay, preferred the Lengua. The waitress that day had limited English, but was very nice and provided good service. The gentleman's English was much better. Reasonably priced for lunch. http://laollarestaurant.com/la_olla_menu.pdf read more

La Olla Restaurant - Katy - Colombian Near Me - Katy, Texas

Delicious food, perfect if you're looking for something other than typical options like burgers, Tex-Mex or pizza. This was my first time trying Colombian cuisine and I'll definitely be coming back for more! The carne asada is incredibly flavorful, as was the milanesa de pollo my wife ordered. Everything came out looking fresh and appealing. The service is very friendly, though you'll need to speak a little Spanish. The place is very casual but kept nice and clean. The portions are also generous so come hungry and plan to leave satisfied. read more

The atmosphere is comfortable and cozy. By me living in Texas I've had countless Mexican dishes and they all seemed the same. This place is different though. From the music to the service, you can tell they take pride in their establishment. The first thing I took note of was the cleanliness. The presentation of the meals is also tight! With a great selection I'm positive you could find something you'd enjoy. read more

La Olla Restaurant - Katy - Great service, very friendly and FAST - Colombian Near Me - Katy, Texas

Good food but poor service. Minus 5 stars. Tacaño. Muy muy muy tacaño. I ate the 2 years ago and was served the wrong item and i told the lady she gave me the wrong item. She knew she made a mistake. Instead she tried to bribe me into keeping it. I told her no because i ordered charrassco. She got pissed at me. They made what i wanted after I demanded. When they gave me my check she overcharged me for everything to make up what they lost. They charged me $6 for to free salsas. I pointed it out to her and she said she was going to charge me anyway. I asked for the owner she said he was in Colombia. I payed for my food excluding the $6 and tip for shitty service and left. I tried to reach out to the owner for a year and they never responded. Pitiful service. I wish the go out of business. Español Buena comida, pero mal servicio. Minus 5 estrellas. Tacaño. Muy muy muy tacaño. Me comí hace los 2 años y se sirve el producto equivocado y me dijeron que la señora que me dio el artículo incorrecto. Sabía que cometió un error. En cambio, se trató de sobornar a mantenerla. Le dije que no porque yo pedí charrassco. Ella se enojó conmigo. Hicieron lo que quería después exigí. Cuando me dieron mi cheque que me cobraron por todo para compensar lo que perdieron. Me cobraron $ 6 para para salsas libres. Se lo señalé a ella y me dijo que me iba a cobrar de todos modos. Pedí el dueño me dijo que estaba en Colombia. Le había pagado por mi comida excluyendo los $ 6 y consejo para el servicio de mierda y se fue. Traté de llegar al propietario por un año y que nunca respondió. Lamentable servicio. Me gustaría que el ir a la quiebra. read more

Out of Sancocho de Gallina had to order Cola but it was delicious!! Next time ill come earlier in the day to try the Sancocho de Gallina

Don't order the beef fajita. The meat was sliced with the grain, which made it tough and inedible. Rookie mistake! Everyone knows beef should be sliced against the grain... read more

La Olla Restaurant - Katy - Bandja Paisa lunch portion - Colombian Near Me - Katy, Texas

Food was regular nothing special Slow service when only one other couple there The reason for the one star is that the credit card machine was down and then had to wait 20 minutes and still nothing had to leave my wife there while I went to the ATM to get cash out read more

When you come to La Olla, come hungry! I will save you some time, order the Bandeja Paisa plate (it isn't a curse word, I promise :) ). OMG DELICOUS! Unfortunately I get so excited every time my Bandeja Paisa plate comes out I forget to take a picture. It is a plate with the following: Rice, over easy egg, little flank steak, sausage, pork skin, corn patty, beans, fried plantains and beans. Yup, all of that for only $8.50.... I promise next time I go I will take a picture. The food is good, the service is friendly. My only concern is the servers don't speak english very well. read more

Sorry so late on this review. Was in C.J's a couple of weeks back and was getting really hungry so I asked for recommendations, This place was one. I've never had Columbian food before and was wondering if it might be too spicy, not so. This little place is great. I'm from S.E. Texas and do like things a little warm, but not overbearing, this place was spot on. I got sidetracked and this review is a bit late... Sorry. I'm amazed I still remember my visit so that alone should tell the story. I love this place and will be back. read more

This is the type of place i wouldnt have tried. But yelp reviews made me want to try it. Im glad I did. Everything tasted very good. I cant believe how good just White Rice was. the prices are good.

My 2nd time having their food and it was amazing! I had the baby churrasco and let me tell you... It was better than any churrasco steak house I've had in Houston. The portion was also huge for being the smaller portion. The service was also excellent. A friendly and attentive gentleman waited on us. I will definitely be returning. read more

This little place is so small but oh so good! Cute makes me feel at home! I had a the Cazuela de Mariscos and it was incredible the coconut to cream ratio was just right and the tostones where really really good also. read more

Just ate here for lunch and it was wonderful!! The lunch specials are so cheap but so good and filling. The baby churrasco plate was $8.95 and tender and very flavorful. We also got the bandeja paisa plate and it was a very good value. Heavy since its sausage, fried pork belly and skirt steak but how can I complain. The fried plaintains were sweet and delicious. We also enjoyed the empanadas which are made with corn so it's super crispy and not flakey like other places. This place was cheap and delicious. read more

Would've gave them zero stars but had to at least pick one. So hubby and I decided to have Columbian food for dinner. In the middle of ordering their phone ran and waiter runs to the phone and left us sitting there. Didn't rush to get back to us. Also there was another lady sitting there but paid no mind to us. WORST SERVICE EVER. We got up and left and went to another columbian restaurant across the street and the waitress was a thousand times better. read more

Walk in, lady asks me if it's to go. I place my order. So I just sat here for 10 mins, just to find out she didn't even put my order in. I mean they watched me sitting there at a table waiting. She took orders from people that came in after me, took orders on the phone. No sorry, can we correct the mistake. Just fuck customer service. Great waste of my time. Very disappointing. Thumbs down on the service. You just lost a long term customer as I tend to support my local businesses for a very long time. Bye... read more

This was our first time having Colombian food and we were quite surprised by how amazing it was! The service, quality of food and price surpassed any expectations we may have had. If I lived anywhere near this place it would quickly become my "go to" when cooking at home isn't an option. read more

I ordered seafood soup and rice and got less then a cup of rice and water down soup, over cooked shrimp. The amount of soup is 3/4 of the container for the amount of money you spend. The soup is pre cooked fake crab meat. I recommend that you stay away from this place. You have a better chance of your kids making you soup. read more

Went with my mom and sister for the first time! We've always wanted to try this place since moving to Texas and it was really good! Coming from a Colombian family who owns Colombian restaurants in Florida it was really good! The empanadas are amazing too! My sister is picky when it comes to empanadas but she loved these. Very good service and friendly staff! read more

Always on the lookout for new and interesting cuisine and La Olla was awesome. Rosario was very patient with our limited knowledge of Columbian food and gave us great recommendations. Oxtail soup was best I've ever had and my spouse had the Pasia Plate. Will definitely be back. read more

I've been here a couple of times and I would like to say that the food is awesome, I've tried fried yuca, beef (I don't remember the exact name of the dish) with beans, fried banana and rice, the coconut flan (dessert) and all tasted amazing!!! I would not say they were cheap meals but definitely worth every dollar you spend here! read more

The food here is authentic and very good. I placed a to-go order and it was hot and ready when I picked it up. They knew how to pack it to keep it that way too, which is important if you're going to offer that kind of service. All in all, I give it 2 thumbs up. read more

We were excited to find a Colombian cuisine near our home but ended up being very disappointed. The service was extremely slow considering there were only 2 other tables. After finally receiving our food which took a good 25-30 mins, the food was just "eeehh". Needless to say we will not be returning to this place! read more

Really enjoyed this place. The food is really fresh and tastes how it looks. I highly recommend this place if you're in the mood for traditional Colombian cuisine. read more
