I have always enjoyed visiting Greenville and it's fantastic Colombian restaurants. El Carriel has over and over exceeded my expectations for well over 5 years now. The food is as authentic as it gets. The portions are HUGE. The servers are tan amable. The panadería has yet to disappoint me with their selection. Must try are buñuelos, as well as pan de bono. The arroz con pollo is great. The almuerzo Colombiano is authentic and full of sabor autentico. The weekend pollo asado is like walking into a kokorico in the 1980's Bogota. The selection of jugos is next level. The coolers and products are always on point in their diversity and relevance. Absolutely worth a visit and some light grocery shopping, even if it's for a little mekateo and some authentic ingredients shopping..

Plaintains, a different kind of homemade hot sauce, beans, avacado, breakfast steak and a fried egg, sausage all on one plate! And a bakery! You won't leave hungry. There are pictures on the menu if Spanish isn't your thing, but don't worry. I've spent a lot more and been way less satisfied, (Greenvile has it's share of that) so yeah. 5 stars.

My boyfriend is an American quadriplegic who uses a power wheelchair, and I'm Colombian. We're…read morevisiting from Florida, and we were so excited to find a Colombian restaurant here. The restaurant itself is really cute, clean, and has plenty of parking. Unfortunately, our experience started off on the wrong foot because the automatic handicap door button was broken. My boyfriend stood outside for several minutes trying to get it to work so he and his service dog could get inside. It was close to 100° outside, so that was really frustrating. I was still getting things out of the car and had no idea he was stuck outside because I never imagined something that important would be out of service. Eventually, an employee came over and opened the door for us. Our server was very friendly and attentive, so no complaints there. We ordered the morcilla with arepitas and an arepa with shredded beef, chicharrón, and chorizo. The morcilla was a disappointment. It was dry and mostly tasted like rice. My boyfriend has had morcilla at other Colombian restaurants before, and they usually have a much richer filling with meat and seasoning. This one just fell flat. My arepa was okay, but it really needed something. No cheese, no butter, no sauce, not even hogao. The shredded beef was dry, the chicharrón was chewy, and the chorizo was decent. Overall, it just lacked flavor. As we say in Colombia... it needed more sabor and a little more love. The passion fruit juice was really good, though. Overall, I'd give the food a 3/10.

After seeing several Instagram posts raving about this restaurant and being new to South Carolina,…read morewe decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, it was a major letdown from the start. The exterior looked rundown, and inside, many tables were still covered in dirty dishes, with flies circling around. Despite the initial red flags, we decided to stay and give the food a chance. When we received the menu, none of the dishes had prices listed. I asked the server for a menu with pricing, but she just laughed and said none of their menus had prices, and if I wanted to know, I'd have to ask her directly. This was off-putting, but we ordered a mix of Colombian and Mexican dishes: lengua criolla, milanesa de pollo, a burrito, and a chicken quesadilla. When the food arrived, things went from bad to worse. The burrito was smothered in a thick sauce they claimed was cheese, but it clearly wasn't. The quesadilla had an odd, almost liquid cheese with no flavor. The lengua was passable, but the accompanying salad was soggy and tasted off. Wanting to avoid further complaints, I simply asked for the burrito to be remade without the sauce. The server refused, saying that's just how they made it and couldn't accommodate the request. As someone who is 100% Colombian and has lived in Mexico and California, I can confidently say the "Mexican" food here was not authentic and tasted terrible. When I asked to remove the uneaten burrito from the bill, the server seemed visibly irritated but agreed. While my wife and I finished most of our food, our kids couldn't eat theirs. To top it off, the server never brought the bill to the table, so I had to go to the counter, where she simply gave me a total without a proper receipt. I ended up paying $97 for a meal that wasn't worth half that. It's disappointing to leave this kind of review, but there are far better Colombian restaurant options in Greenville, Mauldin, and nearby areas. I strongly recommend staying away from this place--especially the so-called "Mexican" menu.

We both had the Bandeja Paisa with no rice and double beans. The beans were the best part. The steak was a little chewy for my taste, but the salsa they have for it was really good. It wasn't super hot, but had a good kick and taste that complimented the steak very well. The chicharrón was also crispy and went well with the beans. The sausage was really good and went well with the plátano maduro. Overall, a good place for those that enjoy Columbian food in Greenville, SC.

1/5 I was extremely…read moredisappointed with my experience at this location. The customer service was the biggest issue. Going through the drive-thru, I was asked to practically yell my order from my car because the employee couldn't hear me. Instead of addressing the issue professionally, the interaction felt rude and unnecessarily frustrating. Had the customer service been better, I probably would have given more grace regarding the food. Unfortunately, the food itself was also underwhelming and didn't seem as fresh or well-prepared as I expected. The most frustrating part is that I drove a considerable distance to visit this location. If I hadn't already made the trip, I likely would have left without ordering. Between the poor customer service and disappointing food quality, I left feeling like I wasted both my time and money. I've had better experiences at other Tropical Grille locations, particularly the Haywood Road location. Based on this visit, I can't recommend this location and hope management takes steps to improve both customer service and food quality.

Literally a hidden gem of a find in downtown Greenville…read more.. We only found this place by visiting the Greenville Drive team store on a Saturday afternoon. Decided to check it out for dinner on a Friday night and was shocked it was so empty. It's only a matter of time before this place fills up! I'm assuming baseball season will have this spot packed. This is the second location (original is on woodruff rd). If you look up the other location- they have fabulous reviews and rightfully so. They have daily specials, lunch specials and happy hour! A DJ on Saturday afternoons as well as brunch. We sat at the bar and Vanessa took great care of us. She gave us great recommendations. I love that they make their own drink mixes! It makes all the difference in quality. We tried a mango mojito and Pisco passion. Both were yummy! Pisco passion is strong fyi. The mood for something filling/delicious was fulfilled and then some! We both got mofongos which come with your choice of plantains: sweet, green or trifongo. We only tried the trifongo with roasted pork (which was amazing) but our favorite was the shrimp al ajillo (garlic shrimp). For the record- last time I had mofongo this good & flavorful I was in Puerto Rico. Safe to say we LOVED everything about both dishes. Still thinking about the garlic sauce with the shrimp! Chefs kiss! And the crispy pork belly pieces on top of the plantains that just melt in your mouth! The Ribeye steak board was recommended by a local (also dining at the the bar). He RAVED about the steak and the sides it comes with. Apparently only this location has a magical creamed corn dish as one of the sides for the all steak boards. Will be back to see how magical it really is! Ambiance is hip & fun with a splash of casual elegance. Great for a family dinner, date night, girls night- whatever. The only downside to planning your visit here is the parking. No private lot & street parking is scarce. I believe there's a garage across the street? The food, drinks & service will make the parking situation worth it. Planning on coming back to try their brunch. Cannot wait!

Stopped driving home from Greenville and they had amazing reviews but it just wasn't it for us…read more I ordered 2 beef empanadas and 2 cheese. I received chicken and maybe (?) beef, hubby thought it was very pork like but the menu doesn't have pork and I think it was the vegan empanadas. They were good, but not what we ordered. Hubby got the skewers with rice, wonderful. My food never came, when I asked they told me I didnt order it and I had to insist I did, and then they told me it will be right out. I ate the empanadas with hubby, hubby ate is skewers,rice, and potato, my food was still nowhere to be seen. At that point I asked for a refund, they told me my food wasn't ready, and I said I know, I'm done here and would like a refund which they gave to me in cash. It was an hour from ordering to me asking for a refund. What we had was good but 1) I wouldn't recommend for someone with allergies or food restrictions, 2) it took awhile to get the food The woman at the front was very sweet but I was disappointed because several people on TikTok recommended it, and the reviews are exceptional.

My wife and I tried Latin Flavorz at their new location at 870 E. Suber Road, Greer, SC…read more That's the front side of the Lowe's Food shopping center shared with Lieu's Chinese Bistro, Voila French Cafe, and Nixtamal Mexican Kitchen. Basically, across the street from Riverside High School. Latin Flavorz is billed as "fast casual." It was! We got there at 11 am for lunch (see that menu below). We'll have to come back to try the breakfast menu. It appears to feature a lot of egg dishes with fiesta potatoes and chorizo. My wife was encouraged to try it by some work colleagues who promised "the best burger in Greenville" and we had to try the pandebono (which we didn't try this time). My wife tried the Beef Burger which was a very thick and tasty patty on a sesame seed bun. Served with lettuce, tomato, caramelized onions, crispy bacon, two melted cheeses, potato stix, and the Latin Flavorz in-house condiments. It was served very hot and juicy. It was big enough for us to split. It's $14.99. She made it a combo (fountain drink and fries) for another $5.99. I tried the skewers: one beef and one chicken. The steak was perfectly cooked, a decent portion, had a good flavor. The chicken was also prepared well, served hot, and had a good seasoning. Mine was served with a couple of small, roasted potatoes and spicy guacamole. $13.99. I added the House Rice for $2.99 and a fountain drink (I think about $3.) I gave my date a chunk of the steak and a chunk of the chicken in exchange for a third of the burger. "Flavorz" for sure. Nothing was bland. Lots of Colombian and Venezuelan influences here. The smells from the kitchen were making my mouth water as soon as we walked up to the counter to get our menus. After ordering, you're given one of those electronic pucks to know when your food is ready. When buzzed, you return to the counter to fetch your food. Since it was a counter-service set-up, we only had dealings with the gentleman at the register. He was friendly. The atmosphere features a hand-painted mural on one wall and painted concrete floor. All nicely done. They spent some money on the menus which are well-designed with colorful, enticing photos. Several of the dishes look to be a work of art. Being a brand-new venue (opened the week of Christmas 2025), it was immaculate and spacious. By the time we left, the lunch crowd was hopping! Outside the restaurant is a good number of parking spaces, except when the fitness spot next door is busy. But across the lane are a few hundred spots as part of the whole shopping center. With tax and tip, it was almost $50. So, more of a special occasion place for a lunch. regular and jumbo hot dog both featuring caramelized onions, bacon, cheese, and potato stix with their in-house condiments. Their taco offerings: birria, tacorritos (beef, chicken, mixed), and street tacos (beef, chicken, and mixed). Quesdillas (beef, chicken, or cheese). And a Quesa-birria. If you like plantains, they have a deep-fried option with beef, chicken, and mixed. All topped with their specialty garlic sauce and pink sauce. An up-and-coming fare favorite to Greenville: Arepas--corn meal patties. You can get two per order (beef, chicken, mixed, or plain). All filled with cheese and topped with the garlic sauce and pink sauce. The dual skewers come with roasted potatoes and spicy guacamole. (Beef, chicken, or mixed.) Latin Flavorz also offers some interesting looking fusion items: Super Salchipapa with is a bowl of crispy fires, fried sausage, plantain bits, with melted cheese, garlic sauce, pink sauce, and spicy guac. You can add pineapple for 99-cents. Sweet plantains with cheese: a bowl of plantain wedges, deep fried with melted cheese. Chori-papas: a plate of crispy French fries, yellow potatoes, and Colombian Chorizo slices, topped with the garlic sauce and pink sauce. Garlic Shrimp: good sized shrimp covered in garlic ajillo sauce, served with white rice, lettuce, and slices of fried plantains. The Pikada for Two is a large plate of crispy fries, with chorizo and Blood Sausage, beef, chicken, fried plantain (tostones), fried yellow potatoes (papa criolla), with wedges of lime and tomato. Spicy aji and pink sauce on the side. Sweet plantain and cheese rolls, deep fried, four per order. Salchipapaas, crispy fries, fried sausage, drizzled with garlic sauce and pink sauce. The House Salad is mixed green lettuce, tomatoes, pecans, sunflower seeds, and dried cranberries with their signature honey mustard dressing.
