Las Americas

Colombian family home cooked authentic breakfast! Empanadas run chicken, steak, cheese plain. Pan de bono are bread rolls made out of cheese. OMG. Good lunch specials.

My first time trying Colombian food, and it was amazing! I went today, 02÷18÷15 during lunch, and had the arepa pollo (~$ 8), which was really good by itself… but when our waitress brought out their jalapeño sauce, and I added that… it was to die for! My friend ordered something that looked like an open taco, which he loved too. We did have to wait a bit (~25−30 mins) for our food, but our waitress told us that up front, since they make everything fresh, so we were ok with it… and for us, it was worth the wait.
Note that this is definitely a hole-​in-​the-​wall, diner-​esque place, not a fancy restaurant. So if you’re looking for atmosphere and ambiance… this is not the place. But if you’re looking for really good, fresh food at reasonable prices… definitely give it a try. I will definitely be back!
PROS: Really great food, good prices
CONS: Moderate wait time, no atmosphere

The place to come to in South Charlotte for authentic Colombian cuisine. Very reasonably priced, great selection of menu items, friendly service and the menu is bilingual so don’t worry — you don’t have to speak Spanish to enjoy a great Colombian meal.
I have had several different dishes from the menu and all have been exceptional.
Ask about the arepa montañera. Very good.

Food is ok but ridiculously overpriced. I paid $ 11 for a «sancocho de gallina» during lunch hour — that is simply outrageous! And I must agree the service is absolutely terrible. They take way too long to bring your food — they even take a very long time to bring you a menu. When my co-​workers and I walked in today we basically waited a full 10 minutes to even be acknowledged (and there were only 2 other tables taken). Someone in my group had to actually get up grab some napkins and wipe our table as the 2 waitresses were simply ignoring us. Not sure what that was all about. I had not been to this restaurant in many, many months and now I remember why. NEVER going back there again. The food is simply ok (definitely NOT good enough to overlook everything else that is wrong with this place). If you want better Colombian food and GREAT service try Los Paisas (and no I have no affiliation to that restaurant — it’s simply the truth)

Great!

This is a Colombian restaurant that serves great lunch specials $ 5.95. My food was a fish fillet, came with a side salad, green plantain soup (my husband had the lentil soup I thought that was better) and tostones that were done perfectly. They also have a small panaderia or bakery. We got some coconut roll guava thing, an amazing guava mousse that looked like a custard (amazing) and pan de bono which is a Columbia bread made with cheese. This was the best pan de bono I have had, however I have only tried three others. 3 stars because the food was cheap and good, décor is blah, but the owners were super nice. Bakery stuff was good :)
