Came here because I was in the area and spotted this bakery. I've always loved Colombian bread, but usually go all the way out to Jackson Heights to go to Las Americas. As soon as I got inside, I was distracted by the decorations and colorful walls. There were also a ton of seats for customers to eat in. We came on a Saturday around noon. There was no line and the lady helped us immediately. I got pandebonos and buñuelos. Came out to exactly $3 for one of each. There's a lot of bread choices, cakes, and empanadas. Both were really good. I will definitely be coming back to try their empanadas and dining in too! read more

Went here recently to get my usual and was very disappointed. I called in my order ahead of time so it would be ready when I arrived, but when I arrived I noticed there was a sign on the door "under new management". I knew something was wrong with the order because I should have been charged more. So I checked my order and they prepared the wrong dish for me (not what I ordered) so I asked if they could make the correction. They did without any issue but I couldn't help but notice they had to check the menu several times before preparing my order. Once I arrived home with my order I served my son and myself but we both noticed the difference in the quality of the food and the presentation: the beans were runny and my meat was overcooked (almost burned). The staff was friendly I will add but I will not continue going here. read more

Tried this Columbian restaurant for the first time and I am glad I brought my appetite. The menu offers a variety of authentic dishes, baked goods, and handmade shakes. read more

So i went to this place mostly because of all the good reviews.. but boy was i wrong. 1. the reviews talk about how the customer service was great.. however the two ladies in the front didn't even smile once while i was there.. to anyone!! 2. i ordered an Arepa Especial. The arepa was burnt, the meat and shirmp were not season at all. All i could taste was the burnt arepa which personally i don't like. Unfortunately, I will not be returning. read more

I ordered a delivery today its probably been my 10th time eating from this place, They get 1 star for many reasons,,.. 1. Every time I order they say 45 min to deliver and its usually over an hour today was past an hour and a half. 2. They do false advertising with the minimum for free delivery... their menu says $15 minimum , I was called 40 minutes after placing my order to be told I didnt reach their minimum of $25 my order was $18. WTF??? They have came here so many times before even for less and now they come up with new rules??? They should change their menu and state new minimums so customers like me who only need food for 1 person doesnt call them. The only reason I took their menu home was because when I have been there in person I asked the manager if they delivered to my address and he assured me they did. 3 . Something is always missing from the order in the past its been the salads from the entree today I was missing a fried egg on my platter. Which in the menu and photo clearly states it should come with it. So listen people there are alot of restaurants out there who give way better customer service and food dont waste your money where the service is slacking. read more

My favorite go-to for Colombian food. Sorry Queens, but y'all slacking. Blows all the older establishments who've let the quality of their meals go by the wayside. Flavor is legit. Portions are what you'd expect. Prices are reasonable. Wait staff is sweet, could use better training read more

Food was delicious and fresh! Set up was nice service was great. Also had arepas with cheese and an empanada I forgot to take pics of both but we're just as delicious. read more

My recent experience here was very nice. I came for breakfast (but I've been here for lunch and dinner as well) This place to me is more of your typical fast food Colombian restaurant. In other words, it's really what they're known for... The service is good but they do take a little while to bring out your food. The inside is clean and very colorful but most importantly the food is really good. I've had burgers, hot dogs, arepas and recently I had breakfast here. I had a very popular Colombian dish "un calentado" and it was delicious. read more

Las Arepas de Mama - Calentado Breakfast - Colombian Near Me - Hempstead, New York

I came here with my Colombian friends for cholados which is a Colombian slushy with fresh fruit, condensed milk and crushed ice. It is to die for! I love there cholados considering I always had to go to Queens before to get them. It's a little pricy but I guess it's because its in long island. However, I highly recommend their cholados! read more

This is one of the best if not the best arepas place they are very tastes and well done the people there was very nice and professional the food tasted like heaven i do recommend this place read more

Horrible food, ordered breakfast. Asked for eggs over med and medium cooked steak. They sent over a well cooked steak with scrambled eggs. Called and told the person that picked up the phone she said they were too busy in the morning didn't bother to say we will replace it. The calentado was mushy and dry! No flavor. Go to pollo paisa they're food is 100x better then this place. read more

Sooo yummy. Arepas. Tostones. Empanadas. Amazing coffee. Clean dining room and happy staff.

Great costumer service, clean restaurant and some of the best empanadas de carne (:. This place is good for a quick bite or pastries

Delicious food for a great price, we ordered the pechuga con camarones and the baked salmon, with a side of rice and beans. Definitely get the pechuga con camarones, it comes with an irresistible cheesy sauce and four pieces of shrimp over a huge grilled chicken cut, the salmon was good but nothing special. The portions are huge and each entree comes with multiple sides that are all delicious. We also had the cheese empanada which was a filling and amazing, as well as the mini arepas which the place is known for. The stuffed arepas were wonderful and I will come back for them! The place is nice and is connected to their own bakery. Will come back for sure. read more

I used to get food here when I wasn't vegan, it was great. Now that I am vegan... it would be nice to have options. It's 2017 ... they should have vegetarian/vegan options. OR AT LEAST NOT laugh and make someone feel a certain way because we don't wanna eat meat. Be open minded, a lot of businesses have options for people who rather eat healthy. read more

My Colombian wife has always told me about stuffed arepas. This is the first place we have found that makes them the way she had described them to me. They are awesome. The regular dishes are just as good as well. Now I just need to make in for breakfast to have the bacon egg and cheese stuffed arepas. read more

Terrible service nasty food they don't explain anything to you on the menu neither do they recommend anything to you I asked for rotisserie chicken with white rice they came and gave me something completely opposite shredded chicken with yellow rice and beans I told the manger she said she couldn't do nothing about it never again! read more

Nice restaurant excellent food. The staff ever so friendly. Prices very reasonable for the amount of food. I definitely would recommend this to my friends. Easy location to find. If you want delicious colombian food come here. read more

I ordered the mini arepas sampler..one chicken, one beef, one pork, and one shrimp. Each arepa was about 4 bites. I loved it!! Better than any other arepas place I have had in the city. read more

I ordered for some coworkers one day using my debit card for the first time in a week. A few hours later I checked my account and noticed money missing. This place stole my debit card information and charged $250 dollars at a Abercrombie and Fitch. Never go there. Food was nothing special. read more

This place is so rude. I made a reservation for a table of 12. Not only were they not ready to attend us but they complained cause they thought I was having a meeting. We were all ordering different things , empanadas , choladas , arepas. How the heck do you ask me , who did you speak to? Dude I spoke to one of your waitress who picked up the phone and told me the reservation was confirmed. Be more professional . You're lucky you're getting business , Sevillana is way better. read more

Colombian delivery! Delicious empanadas and everything comes with rice and beans. Y. U. M.

Worst delivery service ever waited literally over 2 hours for our food and expected us to wait another half an hour. Never ordering from this place again. We had to cancel because it was to much of a wait. The guy who was on the phone in the end was catching an attitude because we wanted to cancel. read more

Let me preface this review first that it is just about the way the business operates...not the food itself. Sadly it was not a viable option for me to try out the food and satisfy my arepas craving due to the way they run the place. So the lady who first picked up the phone did not really speak English, fine. She transferred me to a second lady who said they do not deliver to New Hyde Park and only up to Franklin Square, which is understandable since NHP can get pretty far. I called back a second time to clarify that I was actually only two minutes away from Franklin Square...she had to verify with I suppose was the manager, and then proceeded to tell me that they will deliver but under a $40 minimum, which the site failed to mention at all. All it said was "FREE DELIVERY!!!" numerous times. I was obviously disappointed because I was not about to order $40+ of arepas and food just for myself. Not sure if this standard would apply if I was under Franklin Square or Hempstead zip code, but whatever. I'm going to stick to my go-to arepas joint in the East Village, which is phenomenal by the way. Pretty sure they won't force me to order $40+ worth of food in order to fulfill a 10 min max delivery drive. PS: Also slightly sketchy that they don't have a prior Yelp page at all...their facebook posts are from like three years ago. And their google reviews on the 4.7 stars are sparse as well. I was going to take a leap of faith trying to order too....I guess thank goodness I did not. read more

Today was my first and LAST time coming to this restaurant! I am appalled and disgusted by the food and staff members! I went out to eat with a group of friends one of my friends forgot her ID so she ordered a regular drink she takes the cherry from my alcoholic beverage didn't even take a sip and one of the waiters comes over and tells her she isn't allowed to drink the drink that I am paying for mind you she never took a sip! That was strike one. Strike two was that the table they seated us in was dirty and had not been clean. Strike three was that I found a hair in my drink, showed the waiter and he told me it looks like it just happened. He was basically insinuating that we did it! I have never been so disgusted and disappointed by any restaurant/ staff workers! I don't recommend anyone coming to this place ! If you want delicious Colombian food with great staff go to Mi Tieritta in Hempstead. read more
