    Great Authentic Colombian food. Always stop by when I'm in the Twin Cities. If you like Empanadas definitely stop here best in Twin City's.

    Just happened to be sorta in the area so tried something different. Food was interesting and not just usual fare. Service was great. My fried plantain was a bit mushy but everything was tasty. There was a vent for a/c on the floor that was a bit annoying as far as blowing cold air on me and it wasn't a very warm day.

    We were the only non Hispanic people in the restaurant so you know it's an authentic place. The food was Ecuadorian and our waitress couldn't tell us what was in the specials (in English at least) so she sent over another server. I couldn't find many veggies and the dishes she said were popular looked big and heavy so my boyfriend and I shared a plate and an appetizer. The appetizer was corn and cheese and pretty bland. The main dish was a fried egg and beans and rice and sausage and avocado and I believe tripe. Decent food, kept me full for a long time. The booth we sat at had a ripped up seat, a bit rundown in its decor. The food came out hot and quickly.

    Wanted to try something new while visiting the area for a conference, and LanColonia delivered. Our very helpful server provided recommendations and answered our questions. We ended up trying cheese empanadas, llapingachos, bandeja paisa, secode carne, and cocktails. Favorites were empanadas and secode carne, but all were tasty! The bandeja paisa was a nice "variety platter"--a great choice if you're looking to sample several things. Very pleasant atmosphere. Would definitely bring the kids without hesitation!
