Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5:/5 Service:4/5 A nice size roasted chicken was very tender and moist. I really liked it for not being salty. I requested to swap fries with some greens. 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. read more

Popped in just to grab dessert. Their coconut tres leches was okay... definitely has room for improvement however the strawberry tres leches was much better. Service was nice and quick. They have so many options, everything looked so good! read more

Love this spot for a good filling breakfast!!! Consistently high quality food with great portions for the price! Recommend!

Great food! Small spot that doesn't appear too impressive but great quality food and great coffee!

UPDATE: called them to complain about what we received as it was mostly inedible . My fiancé actually called initially and was was talking to the woman who answered the phone who didn't seem to understand him. I had to get on the phone and speak to her in Spanish . Not sure how they deal with phone orders .... Anyways they said to take pictures of the greasy empanadas and drive back there and they'd give us half of the order . That's right HALF. And meanwhile we were pretty much given a bag of grease that you could more or less wring the grease out of. Disappointed . We tried actually blotting them again and thought we'd gotten most of the grease out . Upon looking at them in the morning the bag is once again saturated in grease. I initially had 3 stars but am reducing to 2 due to this. Very oil soaked bags with Empanadas de Pollo- I've gone to this location a few times . The girls working the register are super nice and the emapanadas are normally quite good. Baked goods are also pretty delicious . The empanadas are what I usually pick up there since I'd tried the food and found it just ok. The last couple of times however i'd noticed they were a bit greasy but the bag this time REALLY took the cake. I just opened the bag and pulled these out to find them drenched in oil. I don't know if I can continue eating there because someone's obviously not draining these after they are fried. The amount of grease soaking the bag is insane. When I initially started eating these a few months back I loved the fact they were light and crisp and that despite being fried there was no grease on the bag and my fingers after eating them. They must've changed cooks because this is a huge change: Horrible for your health and waist line. 3 stars because the girls are very nice and the baked items are good . If they could just get this oil situation sorted out I'd happily continue buying these empanadas but health is important so we'll see. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch. Grabbed a few empanadas....chicken and beef. They had a ton of other flavors but wanted to try the basics. Girls at the counter were very nice, and the food was ready to go in the case. Solid fillings on these, beef had more flavor. The chicken had almost a chicken soup taste to it but was good. The pastry part had a nice crunch but soft on the inside. Pop a little hot sauce on and youre good to go! $2.50 each very good price wise. read more

Punto Rojo Cafe - Empanadas - Cafes Near Me - Glen Cove, New York

I love Punto Rojo. I usually frequent the one on Hillside Avenue in Jamaica, but was pleasantly surprised to find this location in the Glen Cove area. Like its other locations, this is a Columbian eatery that serves a plethora of Columbian culinary staples and has a full bakery to boot serving Columbian pastries galore. This location is in a strip mall so parking is pretty ample. The location isn't terribly large but can accommodate about 10 tables, clean and brightly lit so you can see all their baked goodies. The menu has all the items you could want from a Columbian restaurant - roast chicken, fried fish, fried breaded pork loin etc. All the food here is excellent and authentic and you know this based on the sheer amount of locals and natives that flock through this place. The night we went there were no less than 10 families that came to pick up either large catering orders or huge cakes (and it was just a regular day - not a holiday). Portions here are enormous and prices are very reasonable. Service was excellent and friendly. Definite thumbs up. read more

SO GOOD! I did take away and the food was amazing. I got the chicken combo which came with half a rotisserie chicken, Spanish rice, Tostones, salad, and my favorite the green sauce. It was absolutely amazing. The flavors were on point! I also got the assortment of their empanadas, they were also delicious. The menu looks great lots of choices! Would definitely try other things on the menu! 100% recommend ! read more

Easy sit down place with a tasty food menu! Service was quick and the bandeja paisa which I got was delicious and fresh. As a person who goes to a lot of Columbian food spots growing up, this is among the best for bandeja paisas. read more

My girlfriend and I decided to pop in to try it out for the breakfast. Both of us were pleasantly surprised. First thing we noticed was how clean the cafe was, the staff promptly greeted us and sat us down. Reading through the menu we were slightly overwhelmed with the amount of different dishes they have. We decided to go with #10 which came with sausage, scramble eggs, rice and beans, and a arepa. We also decided to get a chicken & beef corn empanada. The empanadas were 10/10 plenty of flavor not greasy or dry. Make sure to use their homemade hot sauces that adds a nice kick of flavor to them! And the breakfast wow talk about bang for your buck. The one dish was more than plenty for my girlfriend and I, the sausage was packed full of flavor. Everything was on point, fair to say both very happy about finding our new little breakfast spot, and excited to come back and try some more of the mains, and deserts they have on display. read more

The best b day cakes. And pastries. Good lunch options not the best but good. Love the empanadas

This is my To go place for Colombian food around Glen Cove area. Where I can drop my dog for grooming at Petco next door. For a quick fix I get the Empanadas here. About 3-4 selection and option of Flour (Baked) or Corn (Fried) for around $2 each empanada With a size of Colombian Cafe con Leche OR fresh Fruit Juice. ($3-$5) also they have a small selection of baked stuff ready to go OR DESSERTS. If you have extra time they offer Platter too! My fave is the carne asada (2 piece of thin steak along with Maduros, Rice and beans and Side salad) $15. Is too much food so I split it into 2 meals or share with my Boyfriend. Friendly staff and They also Customize Pastries, birthday cakes or special occasions. read more

Wow! So glad we found this little hidden gem. We live in New Hyde Park and I am thrilled to have stumbled upon Punto Rojo in nearby Glen Cove. We usually head to Jackson Hts, when i crave Colombian food. I'm Colombian, so the standard for my native food is pretty high. Fighting traffic and limited parking is a big turn off so finding this place is a great alternative to driving to queens If you want delicious, fresh, authentic food, without feeling like you are in an episode of Narcos, then this is the place to visit. The restaurant is small, with just a few tables that were all full, which is a good sign. My wife and i shared the bandeja paisa and a beef empanada. I would only eat a full bandeja paisa myself if I were headed to the electric chair and this was my last meal. Lol The beans were savory and delicious and The chicharron!!!! my favorite!!! Was cooked to perfection and so tasty. Sorry I made a mess of my plate before snapping a pic. We will return very soon. read more

The food was very bad and old . We ordered a large dinner and it all was horrible and we got sick . The food is definitely not recommended. I have had coffee and empanadas in the past was self service was good. read more

This place is packed!!! Be prepared to wait for your food. It apparently is worth the wait. They have a wide array of desserts, cakes, cookies and savory dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They are tucked away in the strip mall but when you walk in the space is bright with display cases and TVs for your viewing pleasure. Perhaps they should reconfigure the seating area as it is quite limited. As I am sitting here, we have waited over 45 minutes for food. Will finish the post... to be continued. read more

Amazing! I had my son's graduation dinner catered. Due to Covid, we couldn't have an indoor dining experience so we opted to pick up the food and enjoy our family celebration at home. The food was absolutely delicious! Staff was super organized and helpful. They had everything nicely packed for pickup. Get the potato salad, it's definitely the best I've ever had. Thank you for being so helpful and friendly. I will definitely come back. read more

I'm so glad that a Colombian restaurant has finally arrived here in Glen Cove! So close to home! First item we decided to try were of course, the empanadas, chicken and beef. I liked them a lot, however the husband also did but not as much as I did. He's not into fried empanadas as before. The ones that I ate were a bit too fried yet it tasted real good. My kids also liked them a lot. So of course, we ordered dinner last night (Friday) for the family. We ordered "filete tilapia con camarones", (A+)"pollo a la parilla",(B+), "arroz con camarones" (A+). Giving the chicken B+ because it was too thin, a bit too charred and the flavor was somewhere between chicken and steak. Was not sure if it was steak or chicken we were eating. The side salad could use some red beets and one more slice of tomato for each order. The tostones were perfect! The right size, thickness and flavor. Too bad they ran out of the guacamole. We would have liked to taste it. Oh and the maduros were perfect too. Overall, really good food! Don't know much of the restaurant itself since it's been my husband to bring home the food but soon enough I will. Our family has waited a long time (5 years since we moved to GC). We're originally from Queens and our favorite spot has always been Jackson Heights. And yes, we are Colombian, 1st and 2nd generation. Welcome to the neighborhood Punto Rojo! We look forward to making you our favorite spot for food that taste like home! read more

Hands down the best customer service and food closest to me. Family owned and managed which keeps my own family coming back daily for even the small things. Don't be shy to ask for the owners for a recommendation for your cravings. "Asopado de Mariscos" recommended by Ever just became my go to comfort soup. read more
