Amazing food!!! Came here for lunch for my daughter and was not disappointed at all. All of the food is affordable already so the lunch special is out of this world!! Service was outstanding too. There was no language barrier here that I find at a lot of other restaurants in port Chester. I can't attest to authentic Colombian flavor but my grilled chicken (that I expected to be plain) was FULL of flavor! Even the rice was comment worthy lol Overall I'm really impressed with this place. Definitely will be coming back!! read more

El peor lugar. Me vendió 2 buñuelos recalentad. This is the worse place . I bought 2 buñuelos and they were reheated. I called and bought up the situation but the girl just argued with me. read more

Very Good Columbian Cuisine! Their menu is not exhaustive; but, they do have a very nicely priced Lunch Menu (Til 5pm)! The Lunch menu comes with Soup and A Main Dish! They normally offer 5 different Lunch Dishes and portion sizes are just right! Parking can be a bit challenging as there is only street parking unless you don't mind parking several blocks away! read more

POOR service, POOR food. Ordered two portions of beans and they gave us just the agua. Did not help us as their manager wasn't in. Did not provide a refund or offer new order. Never order from here! read more

Makondo Restaurant - Beans that is only the liquid NO beans - Colombian Near Me - Port Chester, New York

Food is usually good! The salchipapas (hot dog slices and french fries) is a classic columbian appetizer like chips and guac for mexican restaurants but the waitress told us its ONLY for children now?? I think that's dumb for a restaurant but okay...the beef empanadas are good and the "calentado" plate is tasty! The restaurant isn't usually crowded and the staff is friendly. (FYI they charge a 3%(?) for CC use) read more

Great columbian food at a great price. One of my favs for takeout too when I'm in need of some protein. They're very friendly and patient with me even though my spanish is horrendous. read more

Makondo Restaurant - Pastries and empenadas - Colombian Near Me - Port Chester, New York

the food is pretty good. I must say the service however is not so good. They need more people to work there or more effective people. I've walked in there for a cup of coffee and you have to wait 30 min to get one. I walk out most of the times. you will lose a lot of money like this. read more

Came here after church and the food is pretty good. We ordered 10 empanadas. 4 Pollo and 4 Carne and 2 Hawaiian empanada. I ordered the Lomo soltado which was huge. The rice, steak and onions were on point. The fries just needed to be a cooked more, the food does have the spicies similar to Chinese food. The service was very quick, but after receiving the food no one asked how the food was or even refill our water. That is the reason why I brought a star down. Overall good experience will come again during the week I assume on weekends it gets pretty busy very quick. read more

Makondo Restaurant - Lomo saltado - Colombian Near Me - Port Chester, New York

Makondo's empanadas de carne are excellent. Always freshly made and ready to go. Also, they always have fresh Colombian coffee. I recommend the coffee. Their service can be a little better. For some reason some of the workers seem as if they don't want to be there. I feel like I'm always rushed out. The only reason why I come here is for their empanadas and coffee. read more

I don't understand how much dishonest a business can be, very disappointed, please everybody going there check your bill very carefully otherwise you will be giving a 15 % gratitude plus the 15% tip they ask you for, giving you with a 30% tip, not worth it, be careful with this kind of restaurants read more

Me gusta mucho el restaurante ya que hay bastantes cosas de que exigir y los que te atienden que serían los meseros son buena onda y siempre están ahí por si hay un problema, la comida es un 10/10 pero está un poco caro el menú pero después de eso todo está bien ‍ read more

Best Colombian food in the area! I'm so glad this place opened up! It saves me a trip to Queens for good Colombian food. The food is fresh and the service is great. read more

I passed by for lunch around 3pm on a Thursday and it was not packed and service was quick and polite. I ordered the special which is soup of the day ( nice portion) and it comes with rice salad and grilled steak or chicken. I have to say for $10.50 it was delicious the soup had so much flavor and it tastes homemade. I also orders the bandeja paisa to go and the portion was large and very tasty only complain was the beans didn't really ha e good floor but besides that my daughter enjoyed her food. I would go again and try another dish. Parking was easy and a lot of it. read more

Good food, but with poor and slow service. Server did not come to check on us. We will not be back.

Food was amazing!!!! The live music was great and the place has a great atmosphere. Very comfortable and the staff is very accommodating. The appertizers are a meal within itself. If you love colombian food you gotta check it out. The live music is a bonus. read more

Makondo Restaurant - Great food, great service and great music!!! - Colombian Near Me - Port Chester, New York

Great place food is always great and comes out really fast and the drinks are tasty and strong best Columbian restaurant around.

Another one of my fav spots in the area. Very traditional Colombian feel. Love the selection of stuff their bakery offers. The dinners are also really good. Would highly recommend for one of the more affordable options in the area. There's a place to sit and eat with the family inside the the restaurant and behind the bakery. read more

What a sad story. After a long day filled with Colombian cravings I ended up here. The service is very slow, I think that is the normal pace here. Good was very sad no flavor, cheap thin meat, no avocado on dish that comes with avocado. Hot sauce game is weak here. Only good things come from the bakery side. Front counter service is the best bet!! read more

Terrible service, and no care about the experience. Ordered things in the menu that were supposed to have options but server never asked and just brought us what they thought would be default. The menu doesn't show these are options. This was before lunch and the place was empty. read more

For years we have been making the trek from Westchester to Queens to find the best Colombian food in NY, but no longer. Makondo has got to be the best Colombian food by far. I ordered the Bandeja Paisa and everything was cooked perfectly. If you love Latin food you must give this place a try. read more

Not bad but not great. My wife and I just got back from Colombia and were excited to try this place. Our favorite place across the street, Sun Dulce, were The ones who told us to try Makondo. I ordered the Lomo Saltado because that's honestly all that looked good to me. It was about as standard as the other half dozen places on Main Street in Port Chester that make the same dish. We also ordered empanadas. It seems like they were sitting in the front glass case all day and we're not very good. The service was below average. The fluorescent lights and loud music or not very inviting. read more

Great authentic Colombian food. Best part is you can order breakfast meals for dinner. Food tastes very fresh and the portion size leaves you going home with left overs. You're getting great value and great food! read more

The waitress staff is great when dining in. I went there for takeout about 6 times and was disappointed. The lady in the front is extremely stingy with the pink sauce. She gets an attitude when you ask for another little cup. I avoid going back because of her lack of customer service and facial expressions. read more

They have the best bandeja paisa! The service is quick and the food is great. My favorite thing is buñuellos in the morning they are so delicious!! read more

Food is good but service needs an improvement. parking is ok place get a lot of people

The only good thing are the EMPANADAS. The HOSTES sees us walk in and says JUST GO TO THE TABLE WITH THE 2 MENUS I LEFT THERE FOR YOU. we sit and waited 15 MINUTES FOR SERVICE, I ordered the empanadas and they were great! I also ordered my food and IT TOOK 45 MINUTES FOR THE FOOD TO COME OUT ( I know this because the soccer game was on the second half and over by the time my food came out). THE FOOD WAS COLD AND THE MEAT WAS NOT WELL COOKED. Severely disappointed because I've gone to restaurants in the trystate area with less staff and busier croud and got better treatment, better food and quicker SERVICE. Take pride in what you serve and the SERVICE you provide! P.S. it would be nice if the management and owner would pay more attention to his patrons and not just keeping the front display case full and ask his staff to come in earlier and not at 12:05 on mother's day on a Sunday to work. That might have helped the two waiters who struggled the entire time. read more
