I had an amazing experience at this Colombian restaurant! The empanadas were absolutely perfect—crispy on the outside and bursting with flavor inside. The chicken with rice was cooked to perfection, seasoned beautifully, and paired so well with the refreshing soda. Every bite felt like a taste of Colombia. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was friendly and attentive. I’ll definitely be back to try more of their menu. Highly recommended!

Hands down my family and love the food, EVERYTHING is delicious. My mom and I were instantly transported to my grandma's cooking (she is no longer with us). The service is amazing and fast.

Review update: Fonda Antioqueña always delivers. Today I wanted something different so I ordered the most incredible dish. It’s better than the Bandeja Paisa even. It’s called Sobrebarriga al Horno I think. It’s incredibly seasoned and low-fat. It’s basically cooked in an oven. It includes an arepa, plantain, potato, some veggies and beans and rice. God I love their rice! Im from Tierra caliente and it’s just like my mom’s white rice! Perfect yucca and plantains! Everything is so good. The server was this traditional Latino gentleman type.

The youngest server is amazing! Great eye contact and anticipati

Good afternoon, the reason I'm giving this rating is due to the quality of the food and the service. There were five of us, and we went for lunch. Everyone ordered something different. One of my friends ordered tripe soup, and we found a hair in it. The food itself didn't have much flavor, the beans they served were smoky, the small corn cakes that came as a side dish had a bitter taste, and the presentation of the dishes wasn't very appealing. The waitress who served us didn't have a very friendly attitude; she practically didn't give us time to think about what to order. She just stood there asking what we wanted to order, and it's not like the place was full; it was just us and another table of two people at that moment. We had been there before, and the food was very good back then, an

I used to love this place back when it was in the old location. However, things have change since then. Today I had the “churrasco” and realized that the cutting board had mold. The empanadas in my opinion had no flavor. I found “Antojitos Colombianos” in San Diego and wow! Now there is no going back. I think is my last time coming here. However, I hope things get better back again.
