My wife and I went to El Molinito restaurant in Pico Rivera just across the street from Walmart. This our first time trying Colombian cuisine,I have eaten Colombian cuisine before I enjoy the flavors and depth of flavor of the food. We're greeted by the owner of the restaurant she told us we can sit anywhere in the restaurant and we did find a table. She came and hand us the menu then she our drinks order we both order coffee. The restaurant is very nice e cozy little restaurant of full of Colombian adornments that you feel you are in Colombia. We both decided to order the Huevos Pericos it's scramble eggs Colombian style it comes with rice and Arepa with cheese. It's like a Salvadoran Pupusa but Colombian version of the pupusa. The waitress brought our meal it looks so good and delicious and the aroma was overwhelming from the Arepa and the Huevos Pericos or scrambled eggs. I try the scramble eggs they so good incredible flavors in the egg including the other ingredients like the tomatoes and onions and spices they use in the egg they were fluffy and good. The rice was amazing it have good flavor in the rice and fluffy that we enjoy. The Arepa was so good like a pupusa but cheesy that I really like including the cheese they use in Arepa. Overall we enjoy the food at the El Molinito restaurant, we come back again and try different items from their menu.

Gracias a este restaurante !!!…read more pudimos pasar un bello y agradable momento junto con mi pareja , el restaurante y nosotros nos dimos la oportunidad de que sería agradable poder compartir un plato (( bandeja Paisa)) para dos (( dividir el plato)) ya que sería más llamativo en un futuro para ellos ya saben que nos pueden ofrecer para atraer más clientes Muchas gracias !!!!!!

You park in the back and then walk around to enter through the front off Beach Blvd. Very small inside but authentic feel. Really cool maps and artwork of Colombia on the walls. We started with the beef empanadas and an arepita (mini arepa) with chorizo. Both were delicious and had me looking forward to my main plate. I got the bandeja paisa which I believe is one of the most traditional dishes in Colombia. It came with all kinds of stuff - steak, chorizo, pork belly, plantains, egg, avocado, arepita, rice and beans. Everything was amazing! All of the flavors combined together very well and good thing I was hungry because it was a ton of food. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because the server forgot to put in my friend's food. However, she was very apologetic and gave us a fresh juice on the house. I'll definitely be back to try some of the seafood dishes!

I've eaten extensively throughout Long Beach, from the longtime institutions to the newer openings,…read moreand Selva remains the restaurant I measure the rest against. There is real intention behind the food here. I've worked my way through the entire menu, and what continues to impress me is not just the creativity, but the consistency. The flavors are bold and distinctive without feeling forced, and the dishes have the kind of personality that makes a restaurant memorable rather than simply good. Chef Carlos is an exceptional talent. His cooking feels confident, thoughtful, and completely its own. Selva has a clear point of view, something that is surprisingly difficult to find even in cities with strong food scenes. The hospitality deserves equal credit. Jack and Chris are a dynamic duo and have an instinct for making the room feel warm, personal, and effortless. Great restaurants are about more than what arrives on the plate, and they understand that completely. After eating at an enormous number of restaurants across Long Beach, Selva is still the place I find myself recommending first. For me, it is the best restaurant in the city.

Ahhh, very disappointed. Came here knowing this location constantly changes restaurants - I have a…read moretypical Peruvian place but I decided even if this place is more expensive I'd like to try it considering they had so many options (Mexican, Peruvian, and Colombian). I would describe this place as that saying "Jack of all trades, master of none". I came with a group and we all ordered a variety of dishes, yet nothing stuck out. For a small space they have 1 waitress who needs better skills, she may be new. I say this because even as she brought out dishes she brought things out in pieces (got my shrimp cocktail, then had to ask for crackers, then had to ask for lemon, then had to ask for salt and pepper). Some points for the food: Talllarin - chicken was dry, pasta good Bandeja paisa - 7/10 arepa dry, no beef or beans Shrimp cocktail - very little shrimp, little to no juice, like a salsa mix in the cocktail Gyoza - good can't mess that up Lomo - eh fries came warm not hot, doesn't look like a traditional sauce The good things about this place: Good little green salsa and they served a good chicha de mora. Would I come back? No. You can definitely find better quality food and cheaper prices at a regular 1 cuisine restaurant. I would like to add presentation was nice on the food but nothing tasted quite right...

I've been coming to Donde Adela for years, and over time I've sadly noticed the quality of the food…read morego down while the prices continue to go up. We ordered takeout today, and the buñuelos were undercooked inside..doughy, crumbly, and not fully cooked through. They're definitely not supposed to be like that. What made it more disappointing is that they're about $6 each. At that price, I expect much better quality. We also ordered a bandeja paisa. The carne asada was tough and lacked flavor, and the beans honestly tasted canned and bland. Again, I could overlook some of this if the food were reasonably priced, but this plate is over $30. On a positive note, the patacón con todo was good, chorizo had flavor and the jugo de lulo en agua was good and refreshing. Overall, the experience was just okay. It's disappointing to see a place I used to enjoy lose some of its quality over the years. Unfortunately, for the price, I'll probably go elsewhere for Colombian food in the future
