The food was good, the service was great, and the restaurant is very spacious. There are tons of seating, a bar, big screen tvs, and a space that looks like it turns into a dance floor. I got the encocado mixto, and my friends got the bandeja paisa and lomo saltado. Everything was good, very flavorful, and fresh. My encocado mixto tasted buttery and creamy from the coconut sauce, the tostones were crispy, and the steak from the bandeja was well seasoned. I would definitely come back and try other dishes! Also, their website menu has all the pictures of the dishes, so I recommend using that to help you order. read more

This was our first visit to Los Andes, and I liked the casual vibe, but might not have ordered correctly. The outside of the building is adorable, and the inside is spacious. It's a good place to go with friends to watch a game, as both sides of the room have screens, and they have happy hour specials for food and drinks. The best thing we ordered were the empanadas. We got a sampler of three and the beef and the cheese were great. The other food wasn't quite to my taste. I did not understand that everything was fried, so it was a literal mountain of fried seafood (look at the pictures, it was enough for 4 people). So, pros: large portions. Cons: it wasn't great. The staff might also have been new. It took a long time for someone to come take our drink order, and 30 minutes to get the pisco sour that was ordered (we were 1/2 tables in the whole place). We later found out that they didn't know how to make one, and were trying different recipes from someone's phone. Absolutely points for trying, but it took way too long and didn't come out quite right. Then they forget to bring me my drink while they were trying to figure out the pisco sour. I might go back for beer and apps, but not sure this place is for me. Otherwise, I will make sure to ask whether the mains are fried, and pick something different. read more

If you want something delicious and different, definitely try this restaurant. It serves really incredible Latin dishes. These should not be confused with tacos or burritos as this place is closer to the equator than Mexico and on a whole other level of quality cuisine. I had the Picada Los Andes which was a plate of thinly sliced delicious meats with some other meat pieces breaded in an incredible coating and fried. Everything was spiced uniquely but perfectly. I enjoyed every bite at the table and at home, as this one plate had enough to share. Definitely going back and hope to see you there too. read more

The hostess and waitress were friendly and welcoming. We went on a weeknight so it was quiet and not busy at all. The food was average. The meat was dry and the rice was crunchy like it was from the bottom of the pot. The goat was a little tough and wasn't coming off the bone like it should have if it was braised long enough. But the sauces were flavorful and the drinks were strong. read more

Great food and service. Everything we ordered was awesome would definitely recommend

This restaurant came highly recommended and I highly recommend the food is very flavorful tasting and very authentically made if you ever feel like you need a taste of the Latin culture. I highly recommend this place. The service was phenomenal. I was taken care of, and they providing me excellent service make sure I was set ready to go have a very nice historic cultural atmosphere on the walls with the mosaic. I love it. read more

decided to check this place out on a random tuesday night and man did it not disappoint!! we got the Picada los Andes as our entree and the beef empanadas. the entree was HUGE. it was actually the perfect sharing plate for two people (with enough food for leftovers) and for $24 that was such a steal. this place is such a gem. the people were incredibly nice, attentive, and SO friendly. highly recommend. they have really cute christmas decorations too. they have homemade hot sauce that's super tasty but not too spicy read more

Didn't actually get my food. Ordered via website, to be fullfilled/delivered by grubhub, never recieved order. Left me hanging at 11 pm (by time I was done on phone getting 'refund') on a Thursday with nothing else really open by that time. read more

Food was ok rice was undercooked and salty Fries weren't how they usually are in an original lomo saltado dish Meat was overcooked Honestly maybe it was a bad day but what really bothered me was the service. Only got attended while getting seated + when getting my order taken. Nobody ever came after that to even ask how the food was, refill water, or even give us the bill. It was ridiculous. The cherry on top was me asking for a lemon and never receiving it after seeking out the waiter. I'm shocked this had good ratings so this is unfortunate. read more

An okay spot if you need a quick bite. The menu has a decent variety, and the food tastes fine, though nothing extraordinary. Clean interior and polite staff read more

When I'm travelling, I try to find local restaurants that offer something I can't get at home. Empanadas are one of these foods that I could eat every day for the rest of my life and never tire of them. Other google reviewers had great things to say about the empanadas at Los Andes so I decided to try them for myself. And mannnn....these are THE TRUTH! I got the empanadas mixto (one beef, one cheese and one chicken). As you can tell from the photo, each protein choice had a significantly different appearance that help distinguish which one is on. I like the touch of chimmichuri sauce they included, as well. I have saved this location for future trips to the area. If you're on the fence... don't be! read more

Los Andes Latin Bistro - Empanadas sampler - Colombian Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

What a cool spot! First thing that stood out was how immaculately clean the restaraunt presented. Surprised to learn Los Andes has been in operation for more than four years and from our experience their quality has stood the test of time. Sitting at the bar top I feel gives you the best interaction to learn about what makes a place great or unique and Los Andes delivered our bartender gave great insight to the menu given it's a family run restaraunt and she was from Columbia she helped us navigate the different dishes and pairings. We had a blast conversations and learning. Food was delicious especially loved their hot sauce I would suggest getting adventurous and try a few options. Though make sure you pick the Yuca fritas. Also happy hour goes till 7 PM now that's amazing 2 for 1 cerveza! read more

I came to Los Andes with several friends for a quick lunch because of its central location in uptown. It was nice to try some different Latin dishes I had never had before. Because it was lunchtime, the restaurant was pretty open and service was fast. I also enjoyed a margarita. I tried the New York Strip platter and the vegetarian platter and they shared the same beans and rice sides. My steak was cooked perfectly, but was just a little tough with non-rendered fat pieces. I loved the plantain and avocado served with it and also enjoyed the beans but thought they lacked salt. Other than that, the experience was great and I would come back again. read more

Food was delicious and the portions were well worth the price. Our server, Mia was very courteous and made sure we had everything we needed.

Atencion pesima, hoy se tardaron 30 minutes en tomar mi orden, en 1 hora estaban sirviendo la comida y eso no es para nada agradable, es hora de poner atención en esto, deberian contratar mas empleados sin explotar demaciado a los empleados. read more

The food here is very, very good! Flavor, authenticity and richness, so, so good! The servers and waitresses are excellent in what they do. They tend to ever very well. We enjoyed a variety of dishes and they were all good. The ambiance is very welcoming, friendly and well lit! I will knock off some points for 1.) Although the Seafood soup (caldo de mariscos) was delicious, the potato bits have nothing to do in this dish, unless they are fresh. These potatoes seemed to have been boiled three days ago. Tasteless and almost crunchy, not good. But the soup was excellent. 2.) Don't come here when they have soccer games on the t.v. screens. The noise is deafening! Too loud, wayyyyy to loud. I prefer a little less noise blaring from the t.v. 3.) Although it is labeled as a "Peruvian-Colombian" restaurant, it is more of a mixed Latino Bistro. The Ceviche is about the only Peruvian dish they actually have. Also the servers stated that it is more of an Ecuadorian restaurant. But the food is very good! read more

A lovely restaurant in the heart of LynLake neighborhood. Los Andes highlights the cuisine of a number of South American restaurants. The cocktail menu features a few drinks you might expect such as Psico Sour and Margarita, but also included some unique takes on traditional drinks. My Pisco Sour was both aesthetically pleasing and tasty! As a vegetarian, Latin American restaurants are challenging so I was pleased that they offered a vegetarian plate with a sampling of beans, corn cakes (arepa), plantains, rice and more. unfortunately it was fairly bland. One of my friends finally asked for some of their house hot sauce- something I should have done right away. It greatest improved the food. I am at a loss as to why they don't offer that or their chimichurra like sauce with this platter. add that and this meal would have been perfect. My friends tried the soltada and a variety of fish dishes plus appetizers. Many raves! I would recommend as a restaurant that meat eaters can take their vegetarian friends to and make everyone happy, but if it is just non-meat eaters I would go across the street to Trio. read more

First impressions of the restaurant was how clean it was and the friendly, helpful staff. Excellent service dishing out some of the best food I've had from a restaurant in a very long time. Tried the cheese empanadas, chicharon pork crackings (our new favorite thing with especially tasty sauce included) my husband had the whole fried trout, i had grilled beef with rice and everything was so delicious! Im not sure what is done differently with just the white rice but even that was amazing! Our waitress was so attentive and had great recommendations. This place is gold! 10/10 will be returning! read more

If you're looking for a spot with great Latin music, authentic dishes, and a welcoming vibe, Los Andes is it. The atmosphere is perfect whether you're grabbing dinner or just chilling at the bar. The staff is personable, and the bartender knows how to make you feel at home--super friendly and engaging. I tried the llapingacho, and it was delicious. Packed with flavor and almost felt like a healthy choice, but still indulgent. As for drinks, I had a classic Cuba Libre with Coke, fresh lime juice, and Diplomatico rum--simple but made just right. Oh, and if you're a fan of Aguardiente, they've got you covered with all the varieties! Definitely coming back. read more

This is a great place to go have dinner with friends! We came here for a semi-celebratory occasion and had a really nice time. I'd been here before so I recommended it to my friends, and they were rightly impressed with the food and the lively atmosphere. The Ceviche Peruano is a particular treat for the taste buds, with its mound of seafood shreds sitting in a pool of flavorful citrus marinade. My friend had Farm Hen Soup which seemed straightforward but he devoured it with visible delight. He also got something called a "Tree Tomato Slurpee", which sounds like you'd only drink it on a dare but it was actually a delicious, sweet, creamy dessert drink. This time I ordered Picada Los Andes, which is like an awesome meat tour. All the different meats on my plate were uniquely flavored and cooked really well. Whatever you order here, make sure there is Yuca Frita within reach at all times. We ordered one for the table, and we maybe should have ordered a second one so that we could all indulge a bit more. We came in on a Friday night without reservations, and there was live music and dancing. As we were leaving at around 10:30, there was a line to get in. They have their own parking lot just off Garfield, but that fills up quickly so you might have to park on the street anyway (like I did this time). Also, if you're there at peak partytime, you can expect the music to be loud. But based on the food alone and from personal experience... I recommend recommending Los Andes. read more

Food was very good here and nice atmosphere. Front of the house was very nice but it was a little difficult to get a refill on the water - they were pretty busy though. Food was delicious although I found overall most restaurants in the area were overpriced for what they were - not just specific to here. Would definitely try more of dishes as everything was cooked perfectly and the flavors were great. read more

This place is awesome. Family owned. My brother works down the street and when I visited him for lunch we did take out for here. That time I had the whole fried trout. Wow....so flavorful. Now that places are allowed dine in, took the family. We all loved it. Son had the chicken wings, mom and I had the mix empanadas and yucca fries. Those alone filled us, but we plunged on to mains and we were so glad we did. Dishes are fresh, and full of flavor (not heat). The goat was well prepared. Cooked perfectly. Nice and done, easy to eat off bone (not dried out or been sitting in a hot steam table for hours). I had the shrimp and fish in a coconut sauce. Wow. So good and so glad to have the rice to absorb the lovely sauce. Wife ordered the lemonade. It was freshly made. She loved every drop. Other items to note. We were served with cloth napkins, heavy duty silverware, and real glassware. This place pays attention to detail. If you order takeaway, they have a hot box they keep it in until you arrive (unlike someplaces that just put the bags behind the receptionist in a take away bag). We will be back! read more

Picada and chicharon! We found an authentic Ecuadorian and Peruvian restaurant here! The "Picada" and the "Chicharon" were incredibly fresh. So many savory and well seasoned meats in one dish, I guess that's why I'm not a vegetarian. This place is huge, it's clean and the service is outstanding. When I come back to this city, I will definitely be back. If your looking for delicious Latin cuisine this is the place. If there's a spot that has great tasting food, I'm going to find it anywhere I go, cause that's what I do! read more

Good service and very tasty food. I had the seco de chivo which had a wonderful flavor. My wife had the arroz frito con pollo which was a hugely generous portion. Sadly, I never was good at Spanish so we had to use English. They have a parking lot right by the restaurant which is a big plus on lake street. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated. The only challenge was that they didn't seem set up for the Yelp coupon for checking in. They got it done, it just wasn't easy. Nice service and tasty food with generous portions. I recommend Los Andes. read more

First time, the location is a nice place. We are not from here, so decided to explore the city and try new food. Got a rice with chicken plate, it was really good, just a little salty. And maduros, we were satisfied with food. Waitress was nice, just not very friendly or attentive. Overall great food, just overpriced. read more

Had no idea what to expect going into it as there's few pictures that do the atmosphere of the place justice, and photos of food are always just photos of food. But holy hell, were we pleasantly surprised. Started with the Empanadas Mixto appetizer (individual cheese, beef and chicken empanadas) and later went on to get the Lomo Saltado (top sirloin stir fry with rice and fries) while the birthday girl got the Chalaufan (Ecuadorian Fried Rice with chicken, beef, and shrimp). So, so good. And the portions are more than generous. P.S. the murals and wall art are beautiful. read more

Amazing food every time I go. Their churrasco here is amazing and you can't go wrong with anything that's on their menu. The service is always very friendly here! The ambiance makes you feel like a regular at a diner, mixed in with a fun bar atmosphere at night! It's always a reliable late night restaurant so if you're ever looking for good food on a late night (or during the day!) this is the place to go. read more

Los Andes has a small parking lot on the side and street parking. I have celiac and a lot of their menu is gluten free naturally! This was about my third time here and I have not had anything that made me sick from gluten. For a drink I got the Pisco Sour and really enjoyed it. For my meal, I got Pollo al Grill and thought it was very good. I would definitely come back here and try something else. I thought the prices were normal at about 15 dollars a meal and 12 dollars per drink. The server was quick to refill drinks and check on us during our meal. read more

Easy parking, easy to find, loud music but fun Latin tunes. Some kind of soccer match was playin on the TV. Our server was prompt. We ordered Patacones con queso which were a little bland but super filling and they combined well with the onions from the ceviche. We also had the yucca frita which was amazing and the ceviche Peruano was delicious, really well spiced. My guest was born and raised in Peru and would rate the ceviche as very authentic and delicious. Overall a really great experience experience. Though I expected the restaurant to be Peruvian cuisine, they offer more Ecuadorian dishes. I would like to return and try the empanadas and the seafood rice . read more

It was just me so I had the ceviche and the yuca fries. I thought I was ordering the trout but must have ordered the wrong item. I should have known when they said it was $6.95. LOL! The quality of the shrimp and fish in the ceviche was great and the marinade was yummy! The yucca fries were fantastic! I'm not sure which sauce came with it but I dipped it in all of them and they were all good. The bar service I got picking up was nice too. I'd give more stars but I'd like to try more options first. read more

Los Andes Latin Bistro - Ceviche - Colombian Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Wow! Wow! Wow! I absolutely love Chimborazo and this place delivered on the equadorian cuisine I have been looking for since we moved to Uptown. Appetizer: We got Yuca Frites, classic and savory. Love the onion & tomato mixture with it, the sauce was just a little too spicy for my MN palate but my husband loved it! Also, got the queso empanada. Not something I would usually get but how can you go wrong with cheese and fried dough, you can't. This is my husband's new favorite app. Entree: Encocado de Camarones, this was my favorite part of the meal and I really enjoyed everything so that says a lot! The shrimp was cooked perfectly, the sauce was lightly creamy and just a hint of spice. Mmmm. I can't wait to go back! No picture, we ate it in less than 10 minutes. Bon Appetit! read more

First, let me just say that the Patacones con Carne are amazing, the ceviches were excellent and the drinks were surprising for a place like this. If we had stopped there, this would have been a 5 star review. Unfortunately, the mains were all somewhere between meh and OK. I would shy away from any larger pieces of beef here. I feel like this place could cut its menu in half (removing the bad half) and be really great. If I lived next door, I would probably learn what's great and be able to make it a great experience. Let me know if you want me to come in and test/try everything! :-) (also, as a wing jedi, I would have gotten the wings if I hadn't JUST had wings next-door. Can't imagine they are great but you never know.) read more

If you're yearning for a taste of Latin America, this is your spot. The variety and representation left me speechless. Coupled with the great atmosphere and good music, you will not be disappointed.
