Punto Paisa Piqueteadero: Reviews & Ratings
Love the food here and the catering orders as well. The prices that are still good. The taste and portions they give are good as well. I compared them with several Colombian restaurants being a Colombian myself, and I have to say this is one of the top restaurants reasonably priced good food and the staff they're always friendly. Another key thing is right next-door there is a Colombian store for anyone who wants to pick up authentic Colombian food, candy, cheese many many items.
First time trying this place out! Was really craving some Colombian empanadas and this was the highest rated place nearby. We ordered takeout: 4 empanadas de pollo and 4 empanadas de carne, all were super delicious and authentic! The outside was nice and crispy, while the inside was stuffed with meat and potatoes. They are large and filling, and are especially good with the red sauce. We also got the maracuya con leche juice and iced coffee, both of which were good as well. I would definitely get this again if I am in the neighborhood!
Food is always good. Friendly staff. Good location. If you like a good chicken soup (when you are under the weather) then this is the place.
Good Columbian restaurant in North Arlington on Ridge Road. Indoor/outdoor seating . Good Spanish dishes. Also desserts and coffee and juice drinks. Good service and fair prices. Enjoyed my chicken quesadillas.
To be honest, I'm sick of typical American food: pizza, burgers, fries, etc. It's nice to broaden your palette and try latin food. I love Peruvian food, but decided to see what Colombia had to offer. My wife and I decided to try their beef empanadas and Pan de Bono(hope I spelled it right.) DELICIOUS. Poor people are short on staff so please cut them a break. After going there the first day we went back again today lol. Got more empanadas(2 beef and 2 chicken) their Pan de Bono's and a pastry that had dulce de leche. Everything was absolutely on par. Gotta control our cravings but we will def be back VERY soon lol. Hoping to come here one day to have lunch with my wife. Very kind people as well. Thank you for your delicious food service!
First time here and it was early Saturday evening. Staff was quick to come to the table and give us menus and ask what we wanted to drink. We ordered the Mango smoothie and the kids ordered the Colombian soda; Manzana ! Ordered some empanadas and and the guacamole with plaintain chips! The husband ordered the Bandeja Paisa and I ordered the steak with rice and salad. My daughter ordered the sancocho de carne! Everything was full of flavor! We had no complaints ! The servers were all very nice and attentive!
This is my second time here and the first time I gave them a solid 4 stars but this time they earned that 5th star. Service is just excellent. They are so polite and helpful, it just makes you feel comfortable to be there. The food exceeded my expectations once again and everything was cooked perfectly. They give you an enormous portion, so you will definitely feel full and satisfied when done. Was the perfect pregame meal last night.
