Mi Recuerdo Colombian & Méxican Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
This place is fiyah. If you are look for authentic Colombian food, and not expecting American influence, then this is the place to be. I think there were three people in the back making the food, and if I could recall they were all family. Mother, son, and his wife. The food was amazing. I would definitely go back, and I would definitely suggest this place to everyone I know who's looking for a change in venue, and a good quaint spot to visit. Literally every bit was good. What ever sauce I had is out of this world. This is definitely one of my go to spots for friends, and family to visit.
Very good food it gives authenticity. Definitely coming again I got the “bandeja paisa” very full plate definitely come hungry love it
Great spot for some Columbian food, and if someone likes, they also have Mexican food. Everything was great, delicious with perfect portions on the plates too!! Definitely coming here again... awesome atmosphere
Everything on the menu is fantastic. The food is amazing for the price and the owners are wonderful and friendly. Update: After 3 years I finally got to try their breakfast. Don’t sleep on it. I don’t really like refried beans but these are the best I’ve had.
The combination between Colombian & Mexican dishes makes this place affordable and attractive. The burritos are super tasty, accompanied by rice & beans, with a delicious Colombian taste! 100% recommended.
From start to finish all exceptional. Tried as many things as I could, everything was prepared fresh and very quick. The main reason I came was for the maduros(fried plantains), excellent.
Great portion size! Expect to pay around 15 for your meal but also expect that meal to fill you, so you will most likely end up taking home food if you get sides. Their tequenos are HUGE! the rice has such a nice flavor, the sausage has a different taste than the traditional bandeja paisa which is great if u don't like that hard sausage. The chiccaron isn't super oily and u get ALOT of beans. All in all this place is a gem and that's coming from a lvl 8 reviewer!!!
This gem of a location is easy to miss if you're not looking. But let me be clear, this place has the most delicious food I've eaten in a long time!! Every bite I took was an explosion of flavor, and took me to places I never thought possible in the realm of tastiness! Think I'm exaggerating? Go visit and decide for yourself. Service was exceptional, even with the pre-lunch rush in full swing. Although they said food may be delayed and take up to 10 to 15 mins, it was worth the wait. Food was served piping hot and succulent to the tongue. I'd recommend this location any day, every day. I'll definitely be coming back!
