Little Colombia – Colombian Family Restaurant(La Tamalería Colombiana NY)

OMG!! Loved this place!!! My sister was on a weekend visit and so since it was our last day together instead of going elsewhere, I decided to just explore Queens- Googled Colombian Food near me, I selected LA Tamaleria. Lina, our waitress was super sweet. I was just going to have an appetizer but she suggested something else. I opted for La Lechona - a blend of rice, pork, and chic peas!! LOVED IT!! Happy hour drinks are excellent!!! Definitely coming back!!!

We came here all the way from NJ because of the ratings and reviews. We were very disappointed. The place was empty. We ordered empandas for us they were not authentic colombian. We Place the order for our food never came the waitress asked and apologized because the person that took our order was training that day. We waited 1 hour and the food tasted like it was sitting for a while the lechona was not tasty at all. My colombian platter was cold, We told the waitress she apologized she said I make sure they will remake our order but we knew it was just reheated. The place is more likely for adults not kids. We paid for the food we couldn't eat. We did not like the food not for our taste they offered us two free refreshments for making us wait. I'm a native colombian and I have so much b

Lina was a pleasure! The service was exceptional, her friendly personality left us with a wonderful first time experience. The food and beverages were delicious and will definitely be returning

From walk in we were greeted with a great welcome and a smile that we are used to back where we are from Puerto Rico Lina our waitress was really nice making great food and drink suggestions. Place is very nice and clean and music is amazing

I’ve been coming to this place since before COVID and usually order from here every few months, but this last experience was so bad I won’t be back. I ordered through Uber Eats and only half my food arrived. The driver clearly stated he was only given one bag instead of two. I tried calling the restaurant about 10 times with no answer. The only way I could reach them was through WhatsApp, and instead of trying to help, I was basically told “that’s not our problem, handle it with Uber Eats.” There was zero effort to offer a solution – no apology, no remake, no option to come pick up the missing food, nothing. Just denial and blaming Uber Eats. As a long-time customer, that response was really disappointing. I ordered 4 tamales in addition to 3 other items and didn’t get a single Tamale!!!
