They dont seem to get a lot of business and the business on each side has either none or 1 in them also. This is a places with all the photos on the wall and the prices on them. I like that as I like to see what I hopefully will get. What I really liked here is that my plate, and the few others I saw all looked BETTER than the picture on the wall! How often does that happen!!! Not only that the portions were big and the food was good. I had just eaten at a places that does the same the day before and of all their photos, they only had 3 dishes you could order, the food didnt look like the picture and the portions were small, and for more money!!! So to find this place was a treat! Service was simple but friendly and if your in the market for something like this by all means GO and support them!

The staff were friendly and the space definitely gives family owned vibes. Would love to come again to support their lovely establishment and more of their fairly priced quality food!

Las Americas Cafe has been around for nearly as long as I've been alive - since 1982. This is an…read moreold, small, humble, hole-in-the-wall Colombian "cafeteria" (more like a restaurant and market) that has served as a sort of hub for the Colombian community in Atlanta for decades. Years ago, one of my former coworkers, of Colombian descent, recommended this place to me and I've also read about it online through We Love BuHi (IIRC). We visited this place for breakfast/brunch on Saturday and I saw firsthand why this business is still around: it's popular among local Colombians and Hispanics. Several groups/families visited around 10:30-11:00am to dine-in. At one point, the dining room was at capacity and the staff had to set up a temporary table in the market space for a family to eat at. I estimate the cafe can seat about 25 customers comfortably. It's not very big. I was looking forward to eating here, but came away underwhelmed with the food. Unfortunately, it just wasn't that good. There were also mix-ups with service/orders, though the staff, both online and in-person, were welcoming and friendly (so I don't like giving this place two stars). One of the best things about Las Americas are the prices. The food and drink are super affordable. Most items on the menu are under $7 which is incredibly cheap for a restaurant. However, you also get what you pay for. The food is fairly simple and basic. Our table ordered a variety of items off the breakfast menu and every dish that came out kind of looked the same. They were all some sort of combination of rice, beans, eggs (usually scrambled), steak, and arepas. So, not a whole lot of variety, but they seem to have all the staples covered. We were told the credit card minimum was $6 though it was inconsistently enforced. If you're looking for a more full-fledged Colombian restaurant experience nearby, I recommend Casa Vieja next door (https://www.yelp.com/biz/casa-vieja-restaurant-atlanta), La Casona (https://www.yelp.com/biz/la-casona-colombian-restaurant-atlanta), or Las Delicias de la Abuela (https://www.yelp.com/biz/las-delicias-de-la-abuela-doraville). Those are more sit-down type places whereas this is akin to dining in a no-frills convenience store. The market portion of Las Americas consists of shelves stocked with packaged food products, no produce. There are, however, a couple keep-warm display cases at the ordering counter stocked with ready-made snacks and pastries like arepas, empanadas, croquettas, sausages (I saw some that looked like blood sausages), and chicharrones (fried pork belly). I was all set to get the Mini Bandeja (plate of rice, beans, chicharron, fried egg, and arepa for $7.99) from the restaurant's all-day menu, but was told by the lady behind the counter that the kitchen was out of avocados, maduros (fried sweet plantains), and I think perhaps other stuff. What a bummer. How can a Colombian restaurant *and* market be out of those important ingredients at the beginning of the day on a Saturday, especially with several produce-selling markets in the immediate vicinity? So I instead got the Perico, Carne y Arepa (scrambled eggs with tomato and onion accompanied with "beef roast" and arepa for $6.50). There was a miscommunication at the register so I had to be rung up twice to get everything I wanted. It's important to note that Spanish is the primary language spoken here. One of my friends ordered the Calentado con Carne y Arepa (heated beans with beef roast, rice and arepa for $7.48), but instead got a plate of beans mixed with rice and scrambled eggs with tomato and onion. Yikes. The food was fine, but again, simple stuff. Cheap food. You can only expect so much out of a steak that comes with a meal totaling $6.50. Low quality, dry, and tough with little flavor (seemingly no seasoning). Same with the arepas. You should eat all of the different foods together instead of separately to maximize enjoyment. Relatively fresh jars of salsa were prepared for multiple tables. The salsa, which was a salty, mildly spicy, green and oniony type salsa, was much needed for both the steak and arepas. The scrambled eggs and beans were okay on their own. Some of my friends ordered off the special blackboard menu which included Caldo de Res (beef soup), Caldo de Pollo (chicken soup), tamales, and avena fria (Colombian oatmeal smoothie). The Caldo de Pollo, served with bone-in chicken, looked colorful and decent, but again, no avocado. Several of us tried the house coffee, including myself. Las Americas' coffee is mixed with milk and sold in "small" and "large" sizes with barely a price difference: $1.25 vs. $1.35. The coffee maker looked like an old, run-of-the-mill, office coffee machine. No one liked the coffee too much. One of my friends commented that it tasted burnt. A lot of milk was mixed in, "watering" whatever flavor there was down. I'd be willing to return to try the antojitos Colombianos (Colombian snacks, like those in the displays).

Came here on a Saturday for Brunch with a group of Elite Yelpers. @Daniel. B put together a great…read moregroup outing and he did call ahead and let them know we were a party of 25-30. Upon parking, the restaurant is a little place in the middle of a "strip mall" with other latin/hispanic restaurants and tienda (stores) for the community. The did update their store sign. There are two doors to go into but seems as though everyone uses the 1 by the iron gate. Upon entering it is a very small place with a wall for retail and 2 display cases with snacks and small plates like empanadas, papa renellas and other hispanic grab and goes. I will say this separately - little to no english is spoken, so be prepared to bring a translator or point at the menu for what you want. They do take credit cards and have a modern POS system, which is nice, but at times the $6.00 min isn't always applied to all orders. Items were good pricing and you will get out cheap. I had the Mini Badega and I will say it was good, minus the tough steak. The eggs were fried perfectly with runny yolks. The arepas were different from what I have had at other places, but it was ok accompanied by the steak. Arepas here were thin and large like a tortilla vs. the small thicker versions I have seen. Others in my party had gotten their orders mixed up and wasn't sure if they got the right plate, which all comes down to the language barrier and this restaurant not having the infrastructure to support a large group. I will try again if I am in the area, but may not be highly likely. I highly recommend the fried eggs and the chicharrones were really good and salty (not the healthiest though).

The pupusas are decent enough, big portions and will satisfy your craving. Workers are wearing masks which was a nice change to most spots nearby - most customers (those not eating) weren't despite the sign on the door however. Came here on a whim as we had a craving and other usual spots were closing. Their menu isn't displayed so it's a little difficult to order, but you can manage. This spot gets super busy with most people calling ahead, so if you don't want to wait forever, cal before you order. Food: We got 6 pupusas, 2 de chorizo, 2 de asada, 1 de jalapeño, and 1 de pollo. The pupusas are huge and have great flavor. They weren't as crispy as I'd like and fell apart very easily. They definitely had too much masa as I prefer mine a little thinner and crispier, but they did satisfy the craving and 3 was a LOT. We were definitely extra full after. The asada ones had plenty of steak that was cooked perfectly - not too well done, and still tender - definitely my favorite. The chorizo were a bit oily, but that's to be expected. The jalapeño was spicy, but nothing special. The pollo seemed decent, but we've had way better. They came with bags of curtido and salsa roja as is customary. The salsa roja was decent enough, but a little blander than others I've had. The curtido though was the real star here - I couldn't stop eating it! Perfectly pickled and crunchy - the perfect compliment to the pupusas. The salsa roja coming in a bag was extra inconvenient though, but they did give a lot. Price: At around $13 for 6 pupusas and a jarritos, you can't go wrong. Exactly as I'd expect to pay. No complaints here. Service: This was lacking, and we had to wait forever for our order as we watched everyone else get theirs. But with that in mind, the authentic places never have great service, so I didn't have high hopes to begin with. Call before you come if you don't want to wait. They speak limited English, but understood our limited and broken Spanglish just fine. Overall, this wouldn't be my first spot when I get a craving, but they're definitely decent enough to satisfy a craving especially since they're open later than any other pupuserias. Docked a star as these pupusas were solid, but nothing to make me come back for them, and the wait was way too long. I would come back just for their curtido though.
