Amazing spot for Colombian food. The ropa vieja was so good with really flavorful meat and delicious sweet plantains! Their salad is also a must order because the dressing is incredible. Pictured is ropa vieja, their salad, and beef empanadas!
El Portal Cafe is the only place I go when I’m craving Columbian food. I drive all the way from Dallas to go here. The staff is amazing! It’s very cozy and nice, with clean rest facilities. I order the pandebono & Beef Empanadas, with Aji! So flavorful and delicious every time!
1pm on a Tuesday, and this place is hopping! Try the cheese bread and a Coke. No regrets. Lalo took the time to serve customers despite the rush. I'll be back!
I’m native Colombian and originally from Florida. Colombian food and Colombian bakery are my favorite spots, so believe me when I tell you you’re in for a treat. The food was authentic, great quality, great prices and you have to try the bakery! I got lucky and they had fresh out of the oven pandebonos!!! Insanely good
The place is nicely located. It’s on the smaller side., so it might get packed on the weekends, but it’s good for both small and larger groups. The food is really good, and tasty. The picada was a little bit dry, but it wasn’t a deal breaker. They have a bakery with buñuelos, pan de Bono, and other traditional ones. You order at the counter and wait for the food to be served. The service is fast, and very nice. Prices are very competitive compared with similar Latin American places.
Great service, delicious food, great prices, nice welcoming atmosphere. I definitely recommend this Colombian restaurant!!! I was in town for work/military and had a great experience, the staff was very friendly, the food was better than expected. They have a little bit of everything from Colombian pastries to meal plates. Try the buñelos & pan de bonos. I drove 45 minutes I my hotel to try this restaurant, and so happy I did!!! Thanks to all the staff!
One of the most authentic Colombian restaurants. The family that runs this restaurant is magnificent, so welcoming and everything is reasonably priced with big portions.
The food here is great and I love coming here and the service is hilarious and great as well it's a family-owned restaurant and family run. And that's the vibe when you walk in, love and food
