I hadnt been to this old Columbian stalwart in Eastie in ages. Its not as good as it used to be but still a solid choice for traditional Columbian food. read more

" Sweet little cozy Breakfast nook". Sweet little breakfast nook . That is warm and welcoming. The service is just charming. The prices are reasonable. I came a few times for breakfast with my husband. We had the hot chocolate with cheese . The arepas with eggs . We also sipped some coffee. We enjoyed our time here . Parking is difficult but if you drive around you can find something. You just must be patient. Please also read the signs before parking . read more

I'm not all that familiar with Colombian cuisine, but I was visiting Boston and heard good things about this place so we decided to stop in for breakfast. It absolutely did not disappoint. The vibe is cozy diner. We were handed off to an English speaking staff member right away which, as a Spanish major, I felt bad about but was also grateful for. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I got the arepa with scrambled eggs (update: I returned for a second visit shortly after and got the arepa paisa). I'd never had arepa before and it was just so delicious, especially with the squeaky cheese on top. The paisa dish was loaded with different meats and plantains in a tomato-based sauce that just blew my mind. And these were generous, delicious, filling portions for a very reasonable price point. Pro tip: get the hot chocolate. It's made fresh from scratch and served in a giant mug with love. Wish I could give this place 15 stars. Can't wait for an excuse to come back to Boston and eat here again! read more

The food is typically good but the service leaves a lot to be desired, especially certain waitress that probably thinks she pwns the place. I would not recommend it for that reason. read more

called at 12 to order and pick up at 1:40! At 2 pm my order was half way ready the meat was uncooked for my taste!

I had just finished work in the Boston area and walked in off the street when looking for a different restaurant. I had never read any reviews. I brought the simple chicken with rice, beans and plátano. Wow, I was floored. Delicioso! Great service as I walked in speaking English and was immediately referred to an English speaker. It's worth the trip to Boston. read more

This was nice for lunch with a couple friends. It was mire than I could eat. Don't ask what I ate, it was like a pot roast with potato, carrot, and yucca, but I ordered something else. read more

This place is by far one of my favorite local breakfast places. It's Colombian arepas with breakfast foods like homemade country style cheese, sausage, pork belly, chicken, eggs. Whichever arepa you get accompanied by the protein of your choice it will come with a big bowl of hot chocolate either in milk or water. Or coffee. They have fruit milk shakes, but not your strawberry and banana but tropical fruit like mango and maracuya (passionfruit). I've tried their lunch dishes and they're alright but breakfast is where they are at! The staff is always friendly and accommodating. I've brought so many friends and family here in the past. They bring a homey and comforting vibe, they don't make you feel like you are asking for the world when you ask for something and they do it with such a smile. They will small talk with people they know. I keep coming back for the food and AMAZING customer service. These new high end restaurants can't train staff to be this great. Oh and did I mention the prices?!?!? Fill your tummy for $10 or less! read more

Food was hot and had flavor that left a lasting impression on the palate. I would go here again. Be prepared to speak in Spanish though - the effort is well worth the reward. read more

We went to Eastie for some authentic Columbian food, and Punto Rojo wowed us. I've never had it before, but the food was quite delicious. There isn't allot of parking unfortunately, but we were able to find some on Meridian a few steps away. It's a neighborhood establishment, and the waitresses speak mostly Spanish, but we were able to get recommendations and didn't really have much of a problem with communications. Claudia was great. We had the tostones with guac as a starter. They are basically smashed plantains, and went wonderfully with the house made fresh guacamole. The lomo salteado is a delicious sauced beef, and with the eggs, beans, salad and rice it was quite filling and the Punto Rojo was a great experience I plan on coming back to. read more

Being only half Colombian, I have to rely on my mother and aunts to pick the "good" Colombian places in Boston, and this is it. This is my go to place when I want authentic Colombian food. Whether its breakfast or lunch or even dinner, I order the typical plate. It comes with rice, beans, steak, an egg and a giant arepa. My god its to die for. Also, without fail I need to order a giant Colombian hot chocolate, and an empanada. The bowl of hot chocolate reminds me of the kind that my mother makes for me. The empanada, my god where could you go wrong. Its filled with meat and potatoes and spices and deliciousness. I even can get my boyfriend, who doesn't like much ethnic food, to eat about 3 of them. This was the first place I went to when I came back from my adventures abroad. It feels like home. I will say, it is small, kind of hole in the wall, and the parking isn't the best. But If you can over look that for some delicious local and authentic food, this is it. My god, writing this makes me want to eat it now. read more

Bomb. Highly recommend. A lot of food. Great flavor! The workers are so sweet and they have the best coffee. I would go everyday just for this coffee. Hehehehehe. It's really good. I liked it. read more

Very good little authentic local spot for unique Latin American food. The menu was very diverse. I chose the arepa and it was solid. It was the right size for a lunch portion. Some of the other plates I saw go out were pretty substantial, so I'd recommend getting some guidance from the staff based on how hungry you are. read more

Came in here for breakfast this weekend and was not disappointed. For $12.50 (that includes tax!) I got a huge and delicious breakfast! I got steak, eggs (which had tomatoes, peppers, and onions), rice, beans, arepa with butter and cheese, and hot chocolate. The staff was so friendly, we will definitely be going back! read more

We went here after walking the freedom trail through Boston, so we had worked up a pretty good appetite. Portions we're large and the food was tasty. It was also authentic Colombian food. The service was also very good. Just a nice, quaint place to stop for a quick meal. read more

Awesome foods, possibly one of the nicest Colombian foods i've tried so far in Boston. Ordered to go and bit funny they insisted they don't have mini bandeja. That aside the foods and price are both fantastic! Gotta try their Picada(huge mix plate of grilled chicken, beef, chicharrón, morcilla, cheese, fries, sausage - perfect for party or munching on for a while). Their Bandeja or Montañero is pretty awesome too but if you get the typical one instead of mini - it's very fulfilling! One that you cannot miss trying in this place is Calentado with pericos and res! it's delicious!! And if you feel like a Colombian hot chocolate to go with it heck yeah! read more

Love this little restaurant a lot. There are different reasons like: fast and friendly service, great prices and delicious food. I was born and raised in Medellin and I know Colombian food, this place rocks in flavor. The place has humble decoration and ambience throughout, but who really cares? You will be busy slurping your soup and eating empanadas so your focus will be on the dishes. read more

The service was horrible, They didnt even come back to ask if everything was okay or if we were in need of more things.. We had to get up and ask for the check after waiting for 20 minutes for the lady to never come back. Also im not sure if anyone has noticed but Tax exempt is usually 6.25% of the WHOLE bill. This place charges tax on each individual plate making you spend double than you normally would at a restaurant. read more

I've been here two times now and absolutely love it! I never had Colombian food before coming here so I was a little worried. They talked me through the different types of dishes and helped me figure out what I would like - great customer service. Arroz Con Camarones was amazing!! Highly recommend. You get great portions for what you pay. I WILL be back soon! read more

Enticed by all the great Yelp reviews, I came here for bkfst. on a Fri morning. The place was very plain, but clean, and the tables were well spaced apart in deference to this Covid era. The pleasant waitress wore a mask, and some, but not all, of the kitchen staff, wore masks. The first surprise was that there were no written menus, just QR codes posted on the walls. I didn't have a phone. I should have asked the staff to use theirs, but the waitress didn't offer, and I didn't think of it. Instead, she asked me what I wanted. I ordered chocolate, one egg over, and arepa with cheese. The chocolate, served in a small bowl, was warm, not overly sweet, but not overly chocolatey, either. The egg was over cooked; it looked like it has been run over by a truck. Unprompted, the waitress immediately offered to make another, but I declined. The white arepa was house-made and tasty. I didn't care for the cheese. Asked if they have arepas de choclo, the waitress said their machine was broken. All-in-all this was a disappointing experience. BTW, I speak Spanish, so language was not a problem. read more

Tremendous food and service. Highly recommend! The food is authentic and absolutely delicious. Great portions for the price. Try the "tipico" and you won't regret it! Best Colombian food in town!!! read more
