Just got in town...wandering around for a lunch spot and saw Columbia House...quickly checked…read more"Yelp" of course...and based on reviews it was a go. Besides almost every table full at 1:15 lunch...including the back room and it is a large restaurant. We were seated without a wait. Took longer to navigate the huge menu. Hubby and I just wanted a light lunch. He ordered the chicken wings and I ordered the "fish" sandwich w/o cheese. Unfortunately, I was served the chicken sandwich not the requested fish sandwich. It still came with avacado, onions, tomato and lettuce. (No cheese as requested). Once I took a bite I realized I had the wrong sandwich. I was disappointed. Waiter apologized and offered to switch it up...I can see he felt bad and we were not quite sure where we both messed up...could have been me? Him? Not a big deal...I just kept it and enjoyed. Chicken was slighty dry (cheese would have fixed the dryness) but seasoned perfectly. It was a large sandwich with two layers of thin grilled chicken. I would split it next time. I like the way it was served...wrapped in a paper. I requested un-seasoned fries and my request was honored. It was all a generous portion. The restaurant is high energy, food around us all looked delicious and fresh, cocktails looked really good...I wanted to taste the cappuccino martini next to us...tempting to order one. Service was timely, friendly and efficient. Noise level a tad high however it was easy enough to carry on a conversation. Overall, I understand the reason this place was so busy...definately a solid fun place...wish it were on my neighborhood as I enjoy exploring different dishes. Thumbs up for sure.

Whether it was the empanadas (no flavor from the crust or filling), tostones (needed salt or garlic salt), and steak (cooked perfectly but needed flavor). I promise you my tastebuds were/are intact. The staff are pleasant but can disappear not out of rudeness but due to demand. Early evening the restaurant is cozy and perfect for family dinning or date night. The bathroom is clean and well lit. If you like loud, go later on in the evening for watching sports matches.

I love a good pan de bono so as soon as I saw the word "Colombia" my mouth started salivating for it. I went in and the restaurant was nice and lively - it was a Sunday afternoon - and I headed straight to the bakery area. They had so many choices but my heart was set on one thing and one thing only: pan de bono. I ordered a couple and decided to also give the guava and cheese empanada a try. YUMMMMMMMMMMM! I will say it's not my favorite pan de bono in the universe and I'm sure when they're freshly out the oven it's a fully different experience but it hit the spot and my pan de bono craving was satisfied. I do think they were a little on the drier side but again, still loved it.

I walked in here expecting to go to their bakery and once I saw their seating area I chose to sit in. The menu was awesome. They have a great lunch special that we definitely will never forget.

Our server was funny, friendly and super inviting, he was definitely one of the reasons we sat down. I can't wait to come back here and I 100% recommend this place.

I literally dream about their empanadas…read more This is a tiny little Colombian spot in New Rochelle - my boyfriend introduced me to it and ever since, I have had crazy cravings for some of their food! Rinconcito has an old time diner feel to it - you have the option of sitting up at the counter on raised red stools or at one of the 3 small tables against the wall. It can get a little warm in there, but only because you are right next to the kitchen no matter where you sit! The first time we came here, I made the mistake of ordering a bacon, egg, and cheese on a roll. What was I thinking?!? Yes, it was good, but I was being too cautious. I tried some of my bf's empanada and I was INSTANTLY hooked! We wound up ordering a second round of empanadas that morning! Since then, we've gotten take out a few times - I got to try the chicharrone. So sinful, but so delicious! Not to mention the salsa verde that they give you with each order...MMM! I'm counting the days til I can get back up to NY to gorge myself on Colombian food again!!

This review is not the easiest for me to write. I have been coming to the Little Columbian…read morerestaurant since 2015. I loved this place, their food was fantastic and the quality was super consistent; an excellent spot to get together with friends or a date. So much attention to detail was paid, house made dressing, salsa, all ingredients were super fresh, the meats were always cooked excellently, and the staff was friendly. I hadn't been to the restaurant in a while but at some point in the last few years the Little Columbian restaurant became My little Columbian restaurant. My friends and I went there for dinner at the end of October, there was one couple that was leaving the restaurant but we were the only ones there when we first walked in. The vibe of the restaurant has changed because they changed how they decorated the interior of the restaurant. I prefer their older vibe but no big deal. Our waitress was nice and very attentive all night and the staff in general was quite friendly. Here's my issue, the food quality is not as good as it was in the past. And if they are going to charge along the same lines as what they have, always been on the pricier side, then the quality should still be at the same level. There were a bunch of little things that added up. To start, the salad I ordered didn't have the same quality of greens (I think they used a spring mix in the past), there were some small bits of core in the salad. More to my disappointment the Salad dressing was no longer the house dressing they used to make it was Ken's balsamic dressing, which generally tastes like diabetes syrup. Maybe it was an off night for the salad and I could live with that but the lack of the old house dressing was disappointing. Speaking of cutting corners, the chimichuri used to be super fresh and of good quality ingredients. The chimichuri this time around had a lower quality olive oil and the parsley was dried instead of fresh. My friend ordered some empanadas, which were partially burnt and again the slasa wasn't the same quality as they used to make with the empanadas. For an entree, I ordered Bandeja Columbiana. The chicharon was a bit overdone but ok enough. The chorizo was probably the best part but you have to try to mess up chorizo. The maduro was kind of dry and somewhat bland. The chicken was a touch rubbery and the steak was fine; nothing to write home about. As I had mentioned before the food wasn't terrible, it was fine enough but it was not worth the price it cost. Much worse is the fact that the quality in general just isn't the same as it had been prior, maybe they just had an off night but something tells me this is how it is now. It's too bad this restaurant isn't quite what it was; it used to be one of my favorites.

They had a large Mexican menu. Colombian drinks gone. Food was served differently. Bandeja Paisa served with no chorizo or arepa. We asked for water and were given pineapple water and chicken wings to start that we didn't ask for. The waitress left before we paid. We were told the credit card machine wasn't working and that we can Zelle or pay cash. The food was good but it wasn't the same and certainly not what I've been eating for 30 years My cousin said she heard it was sold. I'm disappointed that no matter how many times I asked about Janet, my questions were avoided. I took home bunelos and pan de queso. Completely different. I'm sad to see her go, but if it's under new management, the new owner could've been honest with us.

Unexpected that they gave me a very generous portion of sautéed broccoli, cauliflower, squash and carrot, instead of unhealthy fries. Love that! The fried snapper on the menu looked quite promising. They got very busy at lunch time with all local Latin families, which is a sign of being authentic I presume.
