They are traditional and delicious. They're always efficient and great customer service, freshly made and hot and never disappoint. Additionally, they are extremely reasonable on pricing. Their tortas are a bit spendy but I always get the empanada. They're not overly filling but they're plenty for me. The ham and cheese one is surprisingly tasty and I think it's like six bucks. Very good price for a quick lunch highly recommend.

When they called us for the food, there was 2 plates of 2 and 1 with 3. Naturally I got the 3 and the first one I bit into was linguica. Perfect. However the next 2 were both wrong. They mixed them up on the kitchen so I got 2 I didn't want and my colleague got 2 he didn't want. He ate mine but I didn't want his so we had to buy 2 more. Wasn't a great experience They were good once I got the right ones, but not the best system for keeping them straight

El Cafetal Colombian Restaurant is a hidden gem of excellent and authentic Colombian food. My wife…read moreand I visited them recently, and the service impressed us. I ordered Bandeja Paisa, which comes with carne asada, red beans, chorizo, pork belly, egg, sweet plantains, and a small corn cake. It was a flavor ride in each bite. My wife ordered the carne asada, which was flavorful and well-seasoned. It came with a chimichurri sauce that made the dish come alive. Everybody raves about the authenticity and flavor of the food. Empanadas, tamales, and fried plantains stand out in particular. People also favored guava juice and unique drinks such as tamarillo and maracuya juices. Portions are large; platters can be shared. The place is warm, well-organized, and inviting, which makes me feel at home. The ambiance is relaxed and inviting, providing a great dining experience. It is an unpretentious place, but the food and service at El Cafetal are great. If you are craving some authentic Colombian flavors, look no further. Definitely back soon!

Family-owned and community-loved, El Cafetal brings comfort and culture to every plate. The Carne Asada plate was fabulous with the green salad and a plain arepa (corn cake). The 3 Carne-stuffed Arepas were very tasty. Sauces make the meal even better. Same two ladies who own the El Cafetal on Garrity in Nampa are the owners at this Warehouse restaurant. Slightly smaller menu at this new location. Co-owners Adriana Scarpetta and Triny Silva, both from Cali, Colombia, dreamed for years of opening their own restaurant. They opened doors at the Boise International Market in January 2015, but eight months later a fire blamed on arson gutted the international market's building and displaced all the businesses that had opened there. Adriana and Triny operated out of a food truck until they were able to obtain the financing to re-open. Reopened in April 2017 at their Nampa location. Now they are back in Boise and still in Nampa.
